Five Hundred and Nineteen: Here Comes the Salt Sprinkler

"The Grizzlies have their first losing streak of the season!"

"The lore in 0.9 seconds, Kevin Durant pierced the Grizzlies' undefeated gold at home!"

"Anti-lore is successful! Kevin Durant started the playoff war ahead of schedule?"

"56 wins, 12 losses, 3 losses in 10 days. Are the Memphis Grizzlies closer or farther from the league record?"

Unsurprisingly, the day after the Grizzlies lost to the Thunder, the news about the Grizzlies almost swept the entire basketball circle!

The words of a losing streak and a home defeat seem to be quite commonplace. But on the Grizzlies, that's really big news.

Durant and his Thunder became the first team to give the Grizzlies a losing streak and a home loss this season. It's not easy to win such a significant victory over a team that is nearly unbeatable.

Durant won unanimous praise from the media, and some even said that Link and the Grizzlies will end this year like yesterday's game, and they will eventually lose to the Thunder just like last year.

Kevin Durant is the most dominant 3 player in the West.

Competitive sports are like this, once you lose, you get too much praise before, and now you get too much denial.

After this loss, the Grizzlies' record breaking of the Mavericks and the Lakers was also looked down upon by most people.

The game at the end of the regular season can't be compared to the previous one, and it seems like a "easy" thing for the Grizzlies to lose three more games.

Some people even think that the Grizzlies will most likely experience a three-game losing streak.

After all, the Grizzlies' opponents in their next game won't let them pass easily.

As a team that has just won 5 straight games, the New York Knicks are in great shape now. And Carmelo Anthony has also made it clear, "I don't care much about other teams' records, but I will definitely try my best to win the game."

If Durant is the small forward who hates Link the most in the West, then Anthony is the small forward who hates Link the most in the East.

The Grizzlies have been moving forward unimpeded all season, but at the end of the season, it has become extremely tortuous.

"The Grizzlies have a great chance of losing three straight,

After all, the Grizzlies are down on morale right now, while the Knicks, who have won five straight, are in high spirits. The mental state of the two teams will show a great contrast. "

"This year is the best year for the New York Knicks since the 1994-95 season! At that time, the Knicks were already Patrick Ewing's era. After waiting for nearly 20 years, the fans of the Knicks finally finally Wait until the revival. So the Knicks will not lose easily, and every step they take is glorious!"

"If the Grizzlies really lose three straight, I hope they can adjust their mentality as soon as possible. The playoffs are coming, and the Grizzlies must not play abnormally because of psychological reasons."

Link casually flipped through his phone and found that most people were more optimistic that the Knicks could win.

Grizzly No. 0 couldn't help but curled his lips. He couldn't remember how long it had been since reporters had bad eyes on Grizzlies. After all, the Grizzlies have been winning before, and it's easy to slap oneself in the face of the Grizzlies.

But it was only after one episode, and everything went back.

Link put down his phone and prepared to go out.

As a leader, he should take responsibility at this time and lead everyone through the difficulties.

At the press conference yesterday, everything that needs to be said has been said. So today is the time to act.

Dave Jogel, as the Grizzlies' defensive coach, also deals more with the players.

After all, the Grizzlies are all about defense.

Today, he came to the training ground early to prepare the equipment for the players to train. By the way, distribute the training plan to each trainer.

The Grizzlies lost last night. Not only the players were outraged, but the coaching staff were also very unwilling.

It is precisely because of this that Dave Jogel appeared in the training hall so early today. Working hard is Jogel's first choice to deal with his unwillingness.

However, shortly after Jogel arrived at the arena, he heard someone push open the door of the training hall.

At first, Jorge thought that the visitor was his colleague Elston Turner. As assistant coaches, they all have to get to the arena early and take care of all the chores.

However, as soon as Jogel turned around, he wrote the word "surprise" on his face.

The comer is not Turner, but the Grizzlies' top card Link!

"Link!? Why are you here so early!?" Jorge couldn't help looking at his watch, it was only 6:50, he didn't get the time wrong!

"Certainly for training, Dave." Link smiled, then began to warm up.

"Training? It's not even 7 o'clock now! And you didn't realize that even Jimmy Butler hasn't come yet?" Jogel said, looking around.

Usually, Jimmy Butler is the first to the gym. But today, Link came earlier than Butler!

"I couldn't sleep anyway, so I just got up early. Okay, Dave, don't talk nonsense. Come and help me, I want to practice catch-and-shoot."

Link beckoned and called Joger to train with him.

Indeed, the Grizzlies lost in these two games. But as Link said yesterday - the Grizzlies' goals won't change!

※※※

Link always leads by example in training today, whether it is a collaborative project or a personal project, Link trains very seriously.

At the beginning of the training, it was obvious that the morale of the Grizzlies players was still a little low.

But seeing Link so serious, the others were also greatly encouraged.

When we won, everyone went crazy together, and now when it's time to carry it together, everyone will definitely not escape.

The Grizzlies are in good shape, but the outside world doesn't know it yet. The media is still full of the voices that the Grizzlies will lose three straight.

But Link is not in a hurry, and soon, everyone will see it. If you want to completely crush the Memphis Grizzlies, it is not a lore that can be done.

Carmelo Anthony knows this is the year the Knicks have the best chance.

The New York Knicks haven't been this strong in a long time. Indeed, the Knicks' record of 43 wins and 26 losses is far from the Grizzlies. But anyway, they are also the second best in the East!

When was the last time the Knicks played with the Grizzlies? That was four months ago.

Although it's been a long time, Anthony is still impressed by that game. It was so profound that he clearly remembered every statistic that Link cut down.

With 28 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, Link made the Knicks disgraced in that game. It also made people question the status of Anthony.

Is Anthony, who can't even handle a third-year player, still a superstar?

Everyone may forget that game, but Anthony will not!

Due to the particularity of this game, many reporters came to Madison Square Garden to interview before the game.

New York has always been a basketball holy land. Even if the Knicks have been underperforming for so many years, the New Yorkers still stick to the Knicks.

The basketball holy land encounters the battle of focus again, and the attention of this ball is undoubtedly world-class.

In the training ground, Carmelo Anthony accepted many interviews with reporters. The superstar who has successfully made a name for himself this season, the question he heard most today is, "Is it possible for the Knicks to give the Grizzlies a three-game losing streak at home?"

Every time I encounter this question, Carmelo Anthony likes to show an unquestionable expression.

"If Durant can do it, so can I. As I said, I don't care about the opponent's record, but I care about my team's victory."

The Knicks and Anthony, no doubt want to rub salt in the Grizzlies' wounds.

But if the beast is healed, what's the use of salting it?

Link was sitting on a plane to New York with his teammates at this time. One day was enough for the grizzly bear to lick his wounds.
