Five Hundred and Thirty-Six: This Is the Golden Age

did you see it? Before the playoffs were played, we had already established a second opponent. "

Link watched the 70-win news at home while watching James-related reports. Then, he complained in the group chat.

After the game yesterday, Link proposed to create a Facebook group chat. In the future, even if you are not in the locker room, everyone can talk at any time.

This group has been very lively since it was established. After all, the atmosphere in the Grizzlies team is very good, and everyone has a high desire to chat.

Randolph replied as soon as Link's news was sent.

"Two? Besides Kevin Durant, who else?"

"Don't you watch the news? LeBron James said yesterday that he believes they are the strongest." Tony Allen said, and immediately posted a video of James being interviewed to the group.

"Oh, I didn't see it. I didn't have enough traffic to watch the news feed." Randolph responded.

Link was speechless. I heard that James likes to use Wifi. Unexpectedly, Randolph is also a guy who is stingy with traffic.

However, if it can make LeBron James feel nervous, Link still has a sense of accomplishment.

The Heat and the Grizzlies are ranked in the East and West respectively. James regards the Grizzlies as his opponent, which means that James is actually optimistic that the Grizzlies can reach the finals.

That's the equivalent of the Grizzlies getting the endorsement of the league's superstars.

Speaking of which, the Grizzlies have a really good chance this year. Last season, the Grizzlies had home-court advantage for the first time in the playoffs. But with that home-court advantage, the Grizzlies only went through the first round.

But this time, the Grizzlies, as the No. 1 team in the Western Conference and the team with the best record in the entire league, even if they reach the finals, the Grizzlies will have home-court advantage!

This is unique in the Grizzlies' previous playoff history!

As the No. 1 player in the Western Conference, the Grizzlies' playoff journey will not be as bumpy as before.

This year's playoff matchup will be very favorable for the Grizzlies.

In the first round, the Grizzlies will face the Houston Rockets. Darrell Morey guesses that he hasn't slept well these days. He doesn't know what Link will do to the Rockets.

Since the last time his relationship with Link broke down completely, Link was excited when he saw the Rockets.

Although the Rockets have two potential stars, Harden and Parsons, their overall strength is not at the same level as the Grizzlies. At this time, Harden prefers spending money in nightclubs than basketball courts. So Link is not only going to win, but to make this series memorable for Morey for the rest of his life.

In the second round, the Grizzlies will face the winner between the Nuggets and the Clippers. But whether it's playing against the Nuggets or the Clippers, Link is sure.

Not to mention the Nuggets, there is no superstar, and the critical moment is blind. Although George Karl is the coach of Qiansheng, the old man is notoriously poor in the playoffs.

Moreover, the coach can only play a supporting role, and it is always the players who play the ball. For example, in the playoffs last season, George Karl asked Afflalo to stare at Link, but Link turned Afflalo into an autistic person, causing people to immediately apply for a transfer in the summer and go to the East. So playing the Nuggets, Link has a lot of experience.

As for the Clippers, because of the existence of Chris Paul, they are a little more difficult than the Nuggets. However, since the 68-win Clippers have been beaten to confidence, Link believes that as long as he bites his teeth, it should not be difficult to pass the Clippers.

After all, Griffin and Jordan are still out-and-out "regular-season players." Don't look at the regular season, they are very strong, but when the playoffs are supposed to be fatal, these two guys are always misfiring.

After two rounds, it was time for the Western Conference finals. In the Western Conference finals, this is the beginning of the Grizzlies' glory, and it is also the most painful scar of the Grizzlies. Because the past two seasons, the Grizzlies are down in the Western Conference finals.

The Mavericks lost to the general army the year before last, and they lost to the Thunder in the tiebreaker last season.

This year, the Grizzlies' opponents in the Western Conference finals are likely to be "old friends" the Thunder or the Spurs. For the Grizzlies, that's the real test.

The Thunder also won 60 this season, and their strength is still strong. The Spurs are third in the Western Conference with 58 wins, but everyone knows they can play better in the playoffs if they want to.

But for the Grizzlies, they don't need to take turns against the Spurs and Thunder this year.

For the past two seasons, the Grizzlies have either played the Spurs against the Thunder, or the Thunder against the Spurs. In short, and these two teams have to take turns to fight.

But not this year, the Grizzlies just have to wait for the Spurs and Thunder to kill each other. This will undoubtedly give the Grizzlies a physical and mental advantage.

No matter who the Spurs or the Thunder end up making in the Western Conference finals, they're definitely already scarred. In this regard, the Grizzlies are much easier than the previous two seasons.

Thunder and Spurs, the Grizzlies don't have to take turns against them, just beat one of them, the Grizzlies can rush out of the West this year!

At the right time and place, the Grizzlies have everything this year! So it makes sense for James to regard the Grizzlies as an imaginary enemy.

Thinking of the situation in the playoffs, Link is gearing up. Over the course of the year, the Grizzlies have gone through owner changes, coaching changes and staffing changes. Some people have left and some people have come.

And now, with all these changes, it's time to reap the rewards!

Link then took out his mobile phone and sent a message to the group, "Everyone, see you at the training ground!"

Soon, everyone said that they had gone out.

This group of "big villains" may really subvert the ending of the NBA this time.

※※※

The Grizzlies' training quality has always been high. In addition to the trainers' attentiveness, the serious attitude of the players is also the main reason for the high training quality.

When every training is like a real battle, when you encounter a real battle, you will not lose the chain.

At this point, some players are doing their individual workouts. Randolph and Link, who had completed their phased tasks, sat on the sidelines and watched their teammates.

Randolph and Link are not the Grizzlies' most senior players. In terms of seniority, Conley and Gasol are the real "Old Grizzlies players".

But in this team, Link and Randolph have the highest prestige. Asked who is the leader of the Grizzlies, everyone's first reaction is Link and Randolph.

Seeing these two "big guys" sitting together, no one else went up to disturb them.

Link, who was sitting on the ground, took out his mobile phone and squinted at Randolph with a suspicious look on his face, "Hey, you're so close to me, aren't you trying to rub my hot spots."

"Damn, I didn't! I'm rubbing against Iguodala's hot spot." Randolph waved his hand righteously.

"Hey, Link. I always feel that this year's playoffs are not so simple. There are many strong teams this year, and no matter who reaches the top, the gold content of the championship is very high." I found that Iguodala seemed to hear vaguely What, Randolph quickly changed the subject.

"Are there many strong teams? It's alright." Link did the math, it's not those teams that have a chance.

"This season, there are 3 teams with 60 wins. Moreover, the Spurs are only 2 games away from winning 60. This kind of situation was impossible in the past. In the past, the top two in the East and West It's amazing to have 60 wins. And this season, if you count the Spurs, there are 4 teams with 60 wins!"

Randolph raised four fingers, and then continued, "Great star, high-level confrontation, indescribable grievance, endless suspense... The Heat and Thunder just reached their peak, LeBron Durant They will continue to compete for the world. But the Spurs are not old enough, Anthony is also eyeing the East, and now, our 70-win team has turned out. It can be said that the NBA is ushering in another golden age. Link! And if we can win the championship in this golden age, we will definitely go down in history. I really look forward to it, I came to Memphis for this day."

Link nodded, Randolph was serious, and what he said was not all nonsense. But there was one point that Link disagreed with.

"This isn't a golden age for the NBA, Zach. It's a golden age for us, only for Memphis and the Grizzlies. From the moment we won 70, it was doomed."

After speaking, Link got up and prepared to start the next round of training.

Rockets, Clippers, Thunder, Spurs, Heat... Whoever it is, come on!

Even in the golden age, there is only one winner.

If that's the case, why not a Grizzly?
