Nine Hundred and Forty Seven: Super Nova and Super Star

Zach Randolph sat on the boat and stared carefully at the fish floats floating in the waves.

On the bow of another boat opposite him, Link was lamenting the heavy fog with visibility less than 50 meters.

"The fog is really heavy this year, Zach." Link looked around. The fog was just like the Heavenly Palace in the TV series "Journey to the West" when he was a kid.

"Shh, you scared away the fish." Randolph looked serious.

"Come on, you can fish blindly here. This is a fucking artificial lake." Link rolled his eyes at Randolph.

"Damn, don't you know what it means to comfort an injured teammate?"

"Don't worry, you must come to tomorrow's game. In the playoffs, we must stay together."

At this point, there is only one day left before the start of the playoffs. True to form, Link and Randolph once again got together to fish before the playoffs began.

As soon as he talked about the game, Randolph put down his fishing rod and sighed, "This is the first time I have missed the playoffs due to injury... Damn it, people are useless when they get old."

"Absent? As long as we stay together, no one will be absent. And, I also promised you that I will definitely bring the Memphis Grizzlies to the top. Everything you long to see will happen this year."

Link said, patting Randolph's strong shoulder.

"Okay, you better think about how you will deal with Anthony Davis without me."

"Damn, it sounds like you can handle Anthony Davis when you are here. That guy is a super star, he is as tall as a center, as fast as a small forward, and has excellent skills and soft touch. Are you sure you can handle it?" Link smiled jokingly, he would not miss any opportunity to harm Randolph.

"Well...it's really difficult. So, how are you going to deal with him tomorrow?" Randolph asked curiously.

"Of course I'm here!" Link patted his chest. He liked torturing vegetables the most.

At the same time, Bill Simmons also arrived at Memphis International Airport on the afternoon of the day before the start of the playoffs.

As soon as he got off the plane, he was enthusiastically pursued by reporters.

Although he came to Memphis to have his head shaved, Simmons was in an unexpectedly good mood.

He has been interviewed by most reporters. As a copywriter, he can be considered quite successful in doing what he does.

"Mr. Bill Simmons, are you really going to shave your head during the live game tomorrow?"

"Why not? I know I have lost to Link many times. I am not always a winner, but I have always been a person of my word. Did I hesitate when the All-Stars wore women's clothes last season?" Simon Si smiled and answered, as if it was such a glorious thing.

"By the way Bill, did you bring the gift Link gave you?"

"Of course." Simmons said, taking out the empty hat, "I like this gift very much."

"Bill, as a senior basketball writer, what do you think the series between the Grizzlies and Pelicans will be like? The Grizzlies are currently lacking in the fourth position, and the fourth position is precisely the Pelicans' strongest point. . Will Anthony Davis create a miracle? Will the Pelicans cause trouble for the Grizzlies?"

finally,

A reporter asked a question about the game.

Hearing this question, Bill Simmons stopped and looked at the person asking the question with an incredulous expression, "The Grizzlies are short of the fourth position? Are you kidding me? It seems that you don't really understand the Memphis Grizzlies." , man.”

After saying that, Simmons turned and left without giving a clear answer.

But in Simmons' heart, he understands everything clearly.

His ability to get to this point was not just due to his sharp tongue and pretending to be crazy. As a senior basketball fan, Simmons has a very deep understanding of the NBA and basketball.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to write a book like "The History of Basketball".

With Simmons' knowledge of the Grizzlies, it's impossible for them to let Davis do whatever he wants.

Without Randolph and Tobias Harris not being able to play against Davis, Jorge will definitely let Link play against Davis!

Link is truly capable of playing from position one to position five, and there is nothing wrong with him playing position four.

Although there is no advantage in height, Link against Davis... is definitely enough to give the No. 1 pick a good drink.

Could the Grizzlies be in trouble?

The most ridiculous thing in the world!

The Pelicans met the Grizzlies this year, basically to pay tuition. As for how much you have to pay for this tuition...well, it depends on Link's mood.

Anthony Davis is indeed a super rookie, but Link, he is the strongest superstar of this era!

Simmons shook his head. Sure enough, these people who have never been enemies with Link will never truly understand his terror.

※※※

On April 18, the much-anticipated playoffs officially started.

Unlike last year, where teams with lower rankings basically won on the first day, in the two games that have ended today, teams with higher rankings have won.

Over in the East, the fourth-ranked Raptors took down the fifth-ranked Wizards. In a game in the Western Conference, the Warriors also easily defeated the Mavericks.

Teams ranked higher have shown greater dominance, and now, the eyes of the world are on Memphis.

The game between the Grizzlies and the Pelicans is about to begin, and people are eager to see what interesting things will happen in Anthony Davis, the future superstar's first playoff trip.

Before the game started, most people thought Davis would cause a lot of trouble to the Grizzlies.

After all, in the regular season of this season, "Thick Eyebrow" has already performed like a top star.

Averaged 24.4 points, 10.2 rebounds, 2.9 blocks and 1.5 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of 53.5%. Davis' regular season statistics were very impressive.

Although he missed some time due to a right shoulder sprain in the middle of the season, this did not affect his condition.

A few days ago, Davis scored 43 points against the Pistons, tying his career scoring record.

In addition, Davis' efficiency value in the 14-15 season was as high as 30.78, ranking second in the league! Moreover, he also became the youngest player in NBA history with a regular season efficiency value of over 30.

There is no doubt that the 12-year No. 1 pick has begun to realize his talent. Everyone is looking forward to Davis' performance in the playoffs. People even think that Davis might be able to bite a piece of meat from the Grizzlies!

Randolph is out for the season, which is a huge blow to the Grizzlies. What's more, Davis happens to be the No. 4 position.

Physically, the Grizzlies don't have anyone who can match up to Davis.

Those who are as nimble and fast as him are not as tall as him, and those who are as tall as him are not as nimble as him.

As long as Davis can open up this point, the Pelicans might really be able to make this series a little suspenseful.

Before the game started, everyone was talking about Davis and the showdown between the league's new stars and superstars.

But Bill Simmons obviously doesn't have much interest in this matter. Today he is commentating on the spot as a special guest and will broadcast live during the intermission with his shaved head. At this time, he is lying lazily behind the commentary desk getting a haircut. On the chair, spread your hands.

"What on earth are you talking about, am I deaf? Are you discussing the possibility of the New Orleans Pelicans causing trouble for the Grizzlies? God, listen, listen to how ridiculous this is."

Simmons has been silent on the topic, but now, he just can't stand it anymore.

"Oh? I thought you would be happy to see the Pelicans causing trouble for the Grizzlies." Next to Simmons, Kevin Harlan was surprised by Simmons' reaction.

"Of course I hope, but it's just an unrealistic fantasy."

"Oh? You mean, the Grizzlies have a way to contain Davis?"

As soon as Kevin Harlan asked this question, both starters stepped onto the court.

The Pelicans still have Gordon, Evans, Pondexter, Davis and Asik.

The Grizzlies are also doing the same thing, with Conley, Butler, Link, Harris and Gasol returning from injury.

Seeing the Grizzlies fielding their regular lineup, Simmons confirmed his suspicion. So, he looked at Kevin Harlan confidently, and finally touched his hair.

"If the Grizzlies want to contain Davis, they don't have to go out of their way to find a way. Just keep your eyes open and watch carefully. AD still has a long way to go!"

After Simmons finished speaking, he straightened his back and stared at the court.

Someone else besides himself is going to be unlucky tonight at FedEx Arena.
