The best player of the month in the Western Conference, it seems that the gold content of this honor does not seem to be particularly high. After all, there are six chances to be Player of the Month in a season. And the chance to be the MVP or the All-NBA team is only once a season.

But it's such an award that doesn't seem like a great deal. Before Randolph, the Grizzlies had no player won it.

Sean Battier has never been the best of the month in his career. Going back a little further back to the Vancouver Grizzlies period, the Grizzlies' first real star, Sharif Abdulrahim, also went from Untouched the honor of the best player of the month. Pau Gasol won the Western Conference Player of the Month once, but Gasol was already a member of the Purple and Gold at that time.

Therefore, last season, Zach Randolph won not only the honor of the best of the month for the first time in his career, but also the first Grizzlies player to win this honor.

After all, there are too many "monsters" in the west, and it is not easy to stand out among so many birds and beasts. Don't look at six chances in a season, it seems like a lot. But in the NBA where there are more masters from all walks of life, this opportunity is completely insufficient.

Besides, the Grizzlies have always been a team with no big stars.

It was only 16 years after the team was established that it ushered in the first player of the month in team history. The Grizzlies are indeed struggling in this regard.

But now, just a year later, the second Grizzlies player of the month honors.

As the media predicted, Link will lead the Memphis Grizzlies to do a lot of things they have never done before. Link's appearance has allowed the Grizzlies to progress several times faster than before.

"Deserving of his name, Link also led the Grizzlies to a very good record while playing very good personal data. At least in November, he is indeed the best player in the West."

"In the head-to-head battles with James, Durant, Anthony, Kobe and others, Link has won the game. So, he won the best of the month, I think no one will feel wrong."

"Link and the Grizzlies have hit a highway this season, and trust me, they'll set more records for the rest of the season."

Randolph looked at the news related to Link on his phone, and sighed earnestly, "Hey, I finally have a successor, I didn't waste my hard work."

"Pfft!" Link, who was changing jerseys on the side, almost choked to death by Gatorade, the degree of shamelessness of the big black bear is increasing day by day! Successors have come up with it!

"Good intentions? What's your good intentions? Are you careful about his girlfriend's affairs?" Tony Allen on the side couldn't stand it anymore. Randolph's most positive thing every day is to guess Rachel and his girlfriend. Does Link have a leg.

"That's right, it's like you stay with me to practice every day. Speaking of which, you're about to give birth to a second son, and you still don't plan to marry your girlfriend..." Link was a little confused. Understand the concept of old black, in their opinion, marriage after husband and child is a routine operation.

Many NBA stars are like this, and there are even a bunch of children who don't plan to get married, such as the man who used to be able to change James alone.

"Me? I'm not ready, after all, I'm still young."

Link and Tony Allen pointed their middle fingers at Randolph, and everyone laughed.

The Grizzlies locker room atmosphere is very relaxed, after all, since the beginning of the season, the Grizzlies can be said to be completely smooth. From the team record to the individual honor, it can be regarded as the best in history.

But soon, in San Antonio, the Grizzlies suffered their first hit into December.

On December 2, in San Antonio, the Spurs played extra hard. It seems that in order to make Link's new month the best embarrassment, Duncan and Parker are completely returning to the performance.

"French retro sports car" Parker scored 30 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists.

"Rookie No. 21" Duncan had a double-double with 27 points and 15 rebounds. The unexpected outbursts of these two guys allowed the Grizzlies to lose their first game in December by four points.

99 to 95, the Spurs ended the Grizzlies' four-game winning streak at home.

When Stevens interviewed reporters after the game, he kept shaking his head. This may be the most embarrassing game he has played since he coached the Grizzlies.

After all, it was a pity to lose this game. Because the Grizzlies didn't play badly, the Spurs played too well, beyond their normal state.

The Grizzlies also scored in double figures for five players today. Link still scored 20 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists despite Leonard's death. In addition, Conley also sent 18 points and 12 assists, Randolph 17 points and 12 rebounds...

Playing so well and losing so badly is the hardest part.

"We have done well enough, as long as we can continue to maintain this state, I believe we can quickly get out of the haze of failure." In the end, Stevens left only these words, and regretfully turned around and left the AT&T Center , ended his first matchup with Popovich.

Although the loss of this game was a pity, it also reminded the Grizzlies players that it is not so easy to get a championship pennant in the West.

No matter how good your current record is, don't think you're stable.

And Stevens is also very clear that if you can't find a solution to the Spurs in the regular season, trying to rush out of the West is like a dream.

But despite the loss, the Grizzlies still ranked first in the league with a 13-2 record.

It seems that this is an ordinary loss. Any team will lose in the regular season, not to mention that the Grizzlies still lost to a strong opponent such as the Spurs.

But in the eyes of some people, the Grizzlies' loss in this game was not so simple.

"I've never been an All-Star, but maybe, I can beat Player of the Month?"

This simple statement appeared on the social media of Eagles forward Josh Smith. Subsequently, it was wildly reprinted by the media and became popular on the Internet.

"Looks like you have a new enemy?" Sitting on the team bus to the airport, Randolph looked at his phone and smiled disdainfully.

"Josh Smith has always been a master of trash talk, don't pay attention to him. Every time you play with him, he can nagging all night." I once played for the 76ers and played against the Hawks four times a season. Godara waved his hand, he really knew Josh Smith too well.

Eagles center Al Horford said in an interview, "Josh talked a little too much trash in the game."

Link didn't care too much, after all, the Grizzlies' opponent in the next game was the Eagles. Today, the Grizzlies just lost the game, and it is normal for the opponent to take the opportunity to mock the influence that affects their mentality.

This is the NBA, and players are willing to do anything to win.

But thinking of this, Link still checked the recent record of the Eagles. I don't know if I don't check, but I found out that it's not without reason that Josh Smith has such a temper.

"Uh...I think Josh may not be playing with me." Link pouted.

The Eagles' current record is 11 wins and 5 losses, third in the East! Second only to the Heat and the Knicks, the two most popular teams. And since November 16 to the present, the Eagles have not lost a game, and it is now a 7-game winning streak! Compared to the Grizzlies' 9-game winning streak at the start of the season, it's only 2 fewer games.

During this period, the Eagles even defeated the Clippers and the Nuggets, two Western powerhouses. After Joe Johnson left, the Hawks seemed to be playing even better.

Josh Smith has never been selected to the All-Star team, and is called "the best player outside the All-Star Game" by fans. Presumably this season, Josh wants to take advantage of the opportunity to become the only offensive core to hit the All-Star lineup.

If you can beat Link, it will definitely impress people.

People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. Before Durant, Josh Smith couldn't hold back a little and wanted to challenge Link's Player of the Month this month.

Is Link shameless? Losing to Dengtou and the little sports car was a grudge between me and the Spurs. Duncan and the others were able to play so well because the Spurs and the Grizzlies had some historical problems.

After all, the Spurs have been eliminated by the Grizzlies for two consecutive years, and it is normal to be excited to meet the Grizzlies.

But what kind of fun do you have as a forward who plays in the East?

Anyway, I just won the best of the month, so give me some respect.

So Link replied on Josh Smith's social media, "What's your highest scoring record this season?"
