Five Hundred and Thirty-Five: Sixty-Six Wins and Seventy Wins

After learning that he was about to get a sneaker contract worth nearly $300 million this summer, Link was naturally very excited.

Now there are only three people who can reach this number in the league's sneaker contract, namely James, Durant and Kobe. Even Derrick Rose, the contract amount is only close to 200 million.

Don't look at the difference of 1 between 2 and 3, but if the unit behind these numbers is 100 million, then the difference is not a star and a half.

It can be seen that Nike is really looking at Link's potential now, and they hope to keep this quasi-superstar in their lineup in advance.

The huge sales of Link's special edition sneakers undoubtedly made Nike see the infinite commercial value of him. The amount of the contract also indicates that Link will become one of Nike's main spokespersons in the future.

In just half a season, Link nearly doubled his worth, which was indeed something Link did not expect at the beginning.

But in addition to the excitement, Link did not get carried away. The renewal of the sneaker contract is a matter of June, and before June, he still has a lot of things to do.

April 17, 2013, the last game day of the 2012-13 regular season.

Today, the league has scheduled 15 games, which means that all 30 teams in the league will participate.

But for most teams, today's game doesn't matter at all. After all, everyone's rankings are almost confirmed. In particular, the playoff spots were all confirmed a few days ago.

Even if there is a change in the rankings in today's game, it will only result in a change in the playoffs. The teams participating in the playoffs will not change.

Therefore, today's final battle is actually not very attractive to fans. Now, all eyes are on the playoffs. An inconsequential regular season? Not many people care anymore.

But the Memphis Grizzlies-Utah Jazz game was an accident.

Although the Jazz have confirmed the ninth position in the Western Conference and won the "lottery championship", they have missed the playoffs. No matter who wins or loses this game, it will not have any impact on the ranking.

However, the Grizzlies had already won 69 at this time. After winning the Clippers, the Grizzlies did not stop. The day before yesterday, they defeated the 11-year champion Mavericks. In other words, if the Grizzlies can win the Jazz again today, they will become the second team in NBA history to win 70 games in a single season!

Grizzlies' 70-win battle,

Let this ordinary regular season become a lot of attention.

Tickets for this game were sold three times as much as regular game fares, but it was still hard to come by. ESPN urgently changed this game to live broadcast in the United States, and the other 14 games seemed to have become "pad games".

The fans are so looking forward to it, and the Grizzlies players have been looking forward to this game for a long time.

"Link, are you nervous?" Before the game, Randolph looked at Link in the locker room, the fat man's legs trembled slightly.

"It can be seen that you are not nervous at all anyway." Link complained, Randolph was an old man after all, and he would still tremble before the game.

"Damn, this is 70 wins, Link! 70 wins! With so many years of history in the NBA, so many well-known stars, only Michael Jordan and his Bulls can win 70 wins in a single season! If we do it , we can make history!"

Randolph was very excited, after all, he was never a superstar and had nothing to do with those league records. When Randolph came to Memphis, he just wanted to play well. But he never thought that he would make history in Memphis.

As a cancer that everyone once shouted at, Randolph found himself now standing with such a great record, and he couldn't believe it himself.

"We made history when we won 68 and 69, Zach. Today, it's just one more try." Link calmly patted Randolph on the shoulder. Be mentally prepared.

After beating the Clippers, Link knew that the Grizzlies' record this season wouldn't just stop at 68 wins. Since then, he has been planning for 70 wins.

So when the 70-win mark really came, Link was not surprised.

"Do you think the Jazz will try their best to resist? Although they missed the playoffs, they might want to stop us from making history." Randolph also tried his best to regain his composure, and then stood up.

"Stop?" Link waved his hand, "Can they stop it?"

Hubie Brown came to the FedEx Arena early this morning. He pinned a brooch to his suit. The shape of the brooch was a golden number "70".

The old man can't believe that one day he will see a second team that can win 70 wins in a single season. Even more unexpected, this team is actually the Memphis Grizzlies.

From becoming the head coach of the NBA team in 1976 to the present, Hubie Brown can be said to have witnessed the development of the entire NBA. So he knows how incredible it is for a team to win 70 games.

Not to mention 70 wins, there are only a handful of teams in NBA history that can win more than 65 wins in a single season. This is why, people say that the Bulls' 72 wins is the most difficult record to break in the NBA.

The Grizzlies didn't break the Bulls record today, but they were also setting another great record. It's also very difficult for other teams to get 70 wins like them.

The old man was a little dazed, when did the Memphis Grizzlies have anything to do with 70 wins. Well, since the arrival of that number 0...

Just as Hubie Brown was thinking, players from both sides came out.

The stands at FedEx Arena "volcanic erupted" as fans waved Grizzly flags, they've never been so proud.

Hubie Brown approached the microphone to witness history with the fans!

On the court, Link was seriously warming up. On the Jazz side, it can be seen that he is a little lazy.

Link thought that the Jazz was also tragic enough to serve as a backdrop for Kobe Bryant's retirement in the future. Today in the Grizzlies' 70-win game, it also has to serve as a backdrop...

If the historical events of the NBA are mentioned in the future, the Jazz after 2010 will definitely be mentioned frequently. It's just that these historical events have nothing to do with the Jazz.

Amid the cheers of the fans, players from both sides stepped onto the pitch.

The atmosphere was very lively, as if the fans were not there to watch the game, but directly to celebrate the Grizzlies' 70th win. The game seems to be just a performance to celebrate 70 wins.

The Jazz and the Grizzlies aren't sworn enemies, so it's unlikely that the Jazz will deliberately prevent the Grizzlies from breaking the record. Moreover, the Jazz players who have missed the playoffs now just want to take a vacation and have no intention of fighting.

Therefore, it is understandable for the fans to think so.

Before the game, the Jazz players shook hands and hugged the Grizzlies players very friendly, and only said directly to the Grizzlies players, "Congratulations on your 70 wins."

Jazz players respect the Grizzlies so much, so Link chose to respect each other.

And the way he respects each other is that he never releases water!

On the first attack after the start of the game, Link made a decisive jumper from beyond the three-point line after receiving Conley's breakthrough point, giving the Grizzlies a good start.

The Jazz didn't completely resist either, although losing or winning today's game means little to the Jazz. But in the nationally televised game, no one wanted to be embarrassed. Therefore, the Jazz players are still playing quite seriously.

Al Jefferson succeeded in eating Pau Gasol alone in the interior, which undoubtedly made people see his powerful low-post attack. For Jefferson, if this game can attract some fans, it will be excellent.

The Grizzlies controlled the rhythm all the way, but the Jazz did not give up their resistance. This game also makes the fans very satisfied.

In the second half, the steady Grizzlies began to exert their strength. Link and Randolph, the two forwards inside and outside, opened the bow left and right, leading the Grizzlies to a 12-0 offensive climax.

This wave of offensive climax, be regarded as a victory for the Grizzlies.

"Look, this game is not difficult, right?" When Randolph scored the 12th point of the offensive climax with a mid-range shot, Link patted the big black bear's butt.

The Grizzlies are infinitely close to making history.

When the fans in the FedEx Arena were cheering, in Miami on the east coast, the Heat were also playing their 82nd game of the season against the Orlando Magic.

The Magic called a timeout in the final two minutes of the fourth quarter. James stood up and gave high fives to his teammates who came off the court. In order to save energy for the playoffs, James directly rested today.

When James was back on the bench, he couldn't help but pull out his phone. As soon as the screen was turned on, a news feed was received.

"The Memphis Grizzlies beat the Jazz 101-87 at home and won their 70th win of the season! Become the second team in the league to win 70 games in a single season!"

James pouted, and the Grizzlies finally did it. Sure enough, the Utah Jazz were powerless to fight back. Now, the Memphis Grizzlies have become the biggest protagonist before the playoffs.

The strength of the Grizzlies this season should not be underestimated, and James has even listed the Grizzlies as the number one imaginary enemy.

Heat No. 6 knows that Link's ambition is not just 70 wins.

At this moment, deafening cheers broke out in the American Airlines Center. James looked up and found Wade on the court smiling at him.

The Heat's regular-season tour is finally over, and all eyes are on the Grizzlies and their 70 wins. But many people have overlooked that the Heat's record this season is quite remarkable!

With 66 wins and 16 losses, the Heat became the 14th team in league history with 66 wins and the 15th team in history with a regular season winning percentage of more than 80%.

Aside from the Grizzlies, only three teams have won more than 66 games since the nba entered the 21st century. And among these three teams, one is the Cavaliers led by James himself.

Amid the cheers of the fans, James turned off his phone screen and celebrated the victory with his teammates.

70 wins isn't a big deal, it's only 4 more than the Heat.

In an interview after the game, James expressed his determination when facing the camera, "I know the Grizzlies have made great achievements this season, but we are not afraid of any opponent's challenge. I believe that we are the strongest."

The smoke of the playoffs has begun to diffuse.
