Six Hundred and Sixty: Gloomy Warcraft

In the past in the NBA, when people brought up masks, people would definitely think of Richard Hamilton, one of the "Pistons Five".

But Hamilton's peak era has been too long since now, and if the mask is brought up now, the first thing people think of will probably be Link.

Although Link has only played two games with a mask on, the two masks in the two games are classics.

After the game with the Warriors, the league also chose to remain silent. Link put stickers on the transparent mask, which is equivalent to playing a border ball with the league rules.

However, since Link did not have any negative impact, he also set off a wave of mask mania among fans, adding a lot of popularity to the league. Therefore, the alliance did not continue to manage this matter.

In the next game, even if Link posted Rachel's name, the league would not object.

Seeing that his same mask became popular on the Internet, Link did not feel proud.

Of course he liked the mask that Rachel made for himself. Although it was only two small stickers, it was very attentive.

But now, Link has put all his mind on the 15-game winning streak. Originally, he didn't care much about this record, but Dwight Howard's conceited attitude still made Link feel a little uncomfortable.

The starting winning streak does not actually represent the strength of a team. The Mavericks started the 2002-03 season with the second-longest 14-game winning streak in history, but eventually lost in the Western Conference finals, causing the team to be almost forgotten.

The 57-58 Celtics led by "Lord of the Rings" Bill Russell also created a 14-game winning streak. But because of the loss in the finals, this record is rarely mentioned.

So why is the Rockets' 15-game winning streak so famous? In fact, not only because this is the longest starting streak in the league, but also because the Rockets won the championship that year.

If Olajuwon hadn't led the Rockets to a championship that year, the record would not have been so famous.

To put it bluntly, the championship is the last word. Other records, at best, are icing on the cake.

Is the Warriors' 73-win record great enough in the future? But just because he didn't win the championship, when people talk about 73 wins now, the first thing people think about is not greatness, but the mocking stalk of 73 wins and runner-up.

therefore,

Link's initial interest in the record was mediocre. But now, he really wants to let the Rockets roll down from the No. 1 spot in history.

Howard is bragging, but Link is not responsible for cooperating.

In fact, this is not the first time Howard has annoyed his opponent this season.

In the past, Howard gave the image of a sunny boy. Although he has a great playing style, he has an excellent personality and is always smiling, and he has basically never had a conflict with anyone. Magic period, even if Garnett tried to cause conflict many times, but Howard ignored it.

But after a year with Kobe Bryant last season, the smile on Howard's face dwindled. He also became less optimistic and was very hostile on the court. At every turn, they spat out trash talk, and even punched each other.

So far this season, Howard has eaten T more than once because of court conflicts. This guy seems to be holding his breath, trying to re-prove that he is still a superstar and regain his respect. And anyone who looked down on him, Howard held a grudge.

Trying to re-prove that he was okay, but Howard was pushing a little too hard, and in the wrong direction.

It's not that the worse you are on the court, the more people respect you.

However, Howard is on the "bad" road further and further. Now, the world knows Howard has a bad temper. But that didn't bring his popularity back to his peak, or earn him more respect.

In the basketball world, basketball is always used to speak.

Howard also knows this truth, so he picked a strongest opponent, and then euphemistically called it: "Guard the glory of Aerospace City."

Link is not used to his faults, he can provoke me, but he has to be prepared to be counterattacked.

So after leaving the Bay Area, Link wore a mask again and led the Grizzlies to two victories.

On Nov. 22 in Memphis, the Grizzlies easily took down the Suns, who were still on the brink of the playoffs.

The goal of the Suns this season is somewhat unclear. With two excellent guards in Dragic and Bledsoe, the Suns want to impact the playoffs. But Andrew Wiggins, the 14-year No. 1 pick known as James 2.0, is just too attractive.

As a result, the Suns' game has been hit and miss. Sometimes the weak team can lose, and sometimes it is not afraid to play against the strong team.

Today, that struggle is carried over into the game. When you thought the sun was going to catch up, they softened. When you thought they gave up, they toughened up again.

Abby Hornacek, the daughter of Suns coach Jeff Hornacek, came to the scene today. Before the game, he also invited Link to take a friendly selfie and left each other's phone numbers.

As everyone knows, Link immediately turned his face and didn't recognize anyone after he played. With 30 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists, Link did not give the struggling Suns any face and helped the Grizzlies get seriously injured at home.

Jeff Hornacek's "beauty plan" was completely miscalculated.

After the battle with the Suns, on November 25, the Grizzlies took down the Celtics, led by the previous coach, in Boston.

The Celtics are thoroughly into a rebuild, but there's no shortage of bright spots. Once Durant's big brother in the Thunder, Jeff Green, this season is like returning to light.

Last season, Jeff Green's career scoring came to a rookie season with the lowest average of 12.8 points per game. But so far this season, Green has averaged 18.3 points per game, a marked improvement.

In addition, as many as 7 players have scored in double figures for the Celtics this season.

I have to say that the champion coach from the Grizzlies still has two brushes.

But the Celtics' hard power is incomparable to the Grizzlies, so just like the first time the two sides played against each other this season, the Celtics lost at home.

This year, there won't be any more Celtics fans poised to send the Grizzlies back to the country.

After the game, reporters swarmed up and completely surrounded the Grizzlies players.

Not because of how exciting the game was, but because after the Grizzlies won this victory, they tied the 14-game winning streak set by the Mavericks in the 2002-03 season. At the same time, this is also the league's second-longest opening streak!

In the face of this historic moment, journalists certainly will not be idle.

Next, who can stop the raging of the Grizzlies has become the hottest topic.

Link was also asked this question, and took the opportunity to respond to Howard's arrogance and rudeness.

"I don't know who can stop us, the game of basketball is ever-changing. If you predict the outcome, you will be ashamed as Bill Simmons. But I am sure that the one who can stop us will never be the Houston Rockets. By the way, the Rockets The record is only 9 wins and 5 losses, right? Come on Dwight, or you will fall out of the top eight."

Link's answer was black and white.

The reporters laughed and shook their heads. They can do anything with Link, but don't fight with him.

Otherwise, you will be blackened completely before you know it.
