Reverse Growth Superstar

Blake Griffin sat on the bench, looking lonely. 4 of 12, only 8 points were accounted for, and the audience made 3 turnovers and was at a loss.

Two guards, Mo Williams and Randy Foye, sat on either side of him, frowning. The two scored only 19 points in total today, and the shooting percentage was a dismal 37.5%.

Ryan Gomez, who played 22 minutes with one hand on his chin, looked hollow. Three years ago in January, he scored a career-high 35 points in the Timberwolves vs. Warriors game and helped the Timberwolves win by one point. He attended 82 games that season, and people thought that this second-round pick might really grow up.

Today, he made 0 of 4 shots. The data of the game was 0 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist and 1 turnover.

Denagro looked up at the score and shook his head secretly. The Clippers are 20 points behind the Grizzlies, and the rest of the game is really tough.

There were five minutes left in the fourth quarter, but the game was over. Denagro had replaced all the main players a minute ago, and he raised the white flag.

The reason why there are still so many fans sitting in the FedEx Arena is only because Memphis is not prone to traffic jams in a metropolis like Los Angeles, and fans do not need to go home staggered. Moreover, with the economic level of the fans here, it is not easy for them to watch a game. Naturally, no one is willing to leave.

"I didn't expect the ending of this game to be like this. The Clippers were so abused that they could not fight back. Griffin, who averaged 20+10 per game, became 8+8 after coming to Memphis. Hollins will definitely like this. The victory of the game, because the Clippers allowed the Grizzlies to completely come out of the shadow of the four-game losing streak." Kevin Harlan looked a bit wanting to yawn, and the game that entered the garbage time early was not expected by all the commentators. met.

Because you don't know what to talk about, you are embarrassed sitting on the commentary stage.

"I'm not surprised by this result, Kevin. If you often watch the Grizzlies games, you will find that this is their norm." Hubby Brown opened his hands, and the performance of the Grizzlies was actually It's not that good, it's just regular performance.

From the beginning, the Clippers have not been an opponent of the Grizzlies.

The super champion might sound like a gimmick for the super losing draft, but that's just boring hype. Griffin's type of player is destined to be unable to play good numbers in a defense like the Grizzlies, while Link can play well in the Clippers' defense. After all, the Clippers don't have any outside defensive role.

Today's data also speaks for itself. Griffin scored 8 points and made 4 of 12 shots. As an insider, he only shot 30%. But Link scored 25 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, shooting 57.7% from the field. You know, this is because the game entered garbage time early, and Link did not continue to play.

If you play a full game, the data will definitely be better.

This is Link's best game in the past four games, especially after being overwhelmed by James in the last game, Link needs a game to vent.

Unfortunately, the Clippers became the target of venting.

As a first-year rookie, it is normal to play badly in one or two games occasionally. But what Griffin regrets most now is the dunk that he performed to show off before the game. After being beaten so badly after showing off, Griffin felt as if the air sucked into his lungs was embarrassing.

After being defeated, I had to sit on the bench and laugh at others... Memphis, it really is not a likable place.

Five minutes is short, but for Griffin and other Clippers players, these five minutes look like a boring literary appreciation class.

I don't know how long it took, until Griffin was used to the laughter at the scene, and the electronic buzzer finally sounded.

105 to 82, the Memphis Grizzlies slaughtered the worst team in the Western Conference by 23 points at home and ended their four-game losing streak.

Immediately after the game, the big screen on the scene posted a data comparison between the two heavy rookies Link and Griffin.

Link had 25 points, 5 assists and 5 rebounds. Griffin had 8 points, 8 rebounds and 3 turnovers. I don't know, I thought the latter was the loser.

Griffin's freckled face turned red. He wanted to escape the eyes of everyone and reporters, but it might be so easy. As the most high-profile rookie this season, you can easily get praise. But after failure, don't even want to escape easily.

"Blake Griffin, what do you think of Link's performance? He scored a goal against you twice today. Can't you prevent him?"

"Today, Zach Randolph scored a large double-double with 30 points and 12 rebounds. His 12-of-18 shooting percentage is terribly high. What do you think is the gap between himself and Randolph? ?"

"Blake, the Clippers lost 23 points. This is almost the worst game you have lost this season. What do you think of this difference? Are you satisfied with your performance?"

As soon as the game ended, Griffin was surrounded by reporters. Of course, this time he won no longer applause and praise.

Being "double blown" by Link and Randolph, Griffin has had enough headaches these days. Looking at Griffin from a distance, who was still popular with reporters after losing, Randolph curled his lips while holding a glass of Gatorade.

"Am I being too cruel to him? But I obviously stopped hitting, you know, I never like to compete with rookies, that's too naive!"

Link on the side glanced at Randolph contemptuously. He was crazy just now! ? It's still playing...This ratio pretended that Link wanted to give Randolph full marks, so he was not afraid of being proud.

After a while, a reporter came towards Link and Randolph. The question the reporters asked Link was very simple. It was nothing more than what it was like to beat the top pick.

"I am very happy to win, nothing more."

Link's answer was very plain, and he didn't deliberately frustrate Griffin, because he believed Randolph would definitely not spare Griffin. The short hand is hard enough, so why bother for rookies.

The big win with the Clippers greatly boosted the morale of the Grizzlies players. When Hollins was on the training ground the next day, it was obvious that the training atmosphere was much lighter. It seems that the players have completely got rid of the haze of four-game losing streak, and can stalk their heads to meet the second half of the March Devil schedule.

Sure enough, after a battle with the Clippers, on March 17, the Grizzlies defeated the New York Knicks for the second time at home.

Carmelo Anthony scored a game-high 28 points today, and his 52.6 percent field goal percentage is actually very impressive. Unfortunately, his team still lost. This guy seemed to be under Link's spell. As long as he played against Link's team, Anthony couldn't win the ball no matter how good he was.

On the Grizzlies side, no one scored 20 points today, and Conley, the highest scorer, only scored 16. But the Grizzlies scored in double figures, as many as 6 players! This number is twice that of the New York Knicks!

The Grizzlies relied on team offense and excellent defense to win. Link's 14 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists are not amazing, but as long as the Grizzlies win, everyone will default to Anthony and lose to Link. .....

99 to 94, the Grizzlies took away the victory from away. Hollins is already very satisfied with a wave of two consecutive victories in the Devil's schedule. At least for now, he doesn't have to worry about the team being caught up by the Rockets.

After the game, Link returned to the locker room and received a text message. The person who sent the text message was Paul George, a good friend of his college days~www.wuxiaspot.com~The text message was very simple, "See you on the court."

Link smiled, he is really looking forward to the game in Indianapolis the day after tomorrow. Compete with Paul George in the NBA? What used to exist only in fantasy is about to happen now.

"He played very well and is an excellent team player. Of course, if the team needs him to stand up, he also has enough personal ability to take responsibility."

"Yeah, I told you that he is great, and I knew he could gain a foothold in the NBA sooner or later. But to be honest, I really didn't expect him to improve so fast. That kid's average stats in the NBA now , Are already far ahead of me."

Paul George shook his head after sending the text message, and then continued to talk to the man sitting next to him, "If he can play under your hands in college, he will definitely be selected in the lottery."

"Haha, if he can play under me, we would have won the NCAA Championship last year. But unfortunately, there is no such thing in life. But even if you can't coach him, it's an honor to know him. The day after tomorrow he is not coming to Indianapolis. Does Ss play? Can you arrange for me to meet Link? I am interested in him and I like his way of playing."

"What's the problem? I can take him to Butler University in the summer, haha. You will like him, I promise, Brad. And I think Link will definitely be happy to meet you. "

Paul George patted his chest and agreed to the arrangement. Next to him, the young man called Brad was very happy.

The coach of the Butler University basketball team, his favorite thing is getting along with these outstanding young players.
