: One hundred and seventy-one: The real playoff goal

Link opened his eyes the next day, and his mind was still what happened last night.
Blocked Kenyon Martin's dunk and dunked an aggressive inside player...Of course, what impressed Link most was what happened in the locker room after the game.
Since this is the first time the Grizzlies have reached the playoffs in five years, players and coaches are very excited. After entering the locker room, everyone took a bottle of water, and everyone was eager to try.
Hollins stood in the middle of the locker room, and everyone was waiting for him to speak.
"We don't have champagne, but we have water. We should not be complacent, but we should celebrate!"
As soon as Hollins spoke, the entire locker room became the scene of the Songkran Festival. From being unpopular at the beginning of the season to fifth in the West, only the Grizzlies players know how much they have experienced.
Thinking of the experience in the locker room last night, Link couldn't help but giggle.
When I first came to Memphis, I heard from Austin that this is the city with the highest crime rate in the United States. Fans here who voluntarily turn in their guns can get free tickets. As soon as he arrived at the training hall, he was provoked by Randolph and met the unfriendly eyes of Sam Young and others.
At that time, Link never expected that he would fall in love with this team.
The fans here are not as fierce as outsiders think, and the players here are not just leftovers left in the trash. Link enjoys working with this group of people very much, especially in the context of the Rockets experience.
Now, he and his team are going to fight in the playoffs, which makes Link very excited. He hopes to go further with these guys and create greater brilliance together.
The Grizzlies with Linke are 3 places higher than the original historical ranking. Link naturally also looks forward to helping the Grizzlies go further in the playoffs than in the original history.
Thinking of this, Link got up immediately. The regular season is over, but the truly exciting journey has just begun.

"Training hard, don't think that defeating the Nuggets is the end!"
Today in the training hall, Randolph is always urging everyone from time to time, and the whole training hall is full of his voice.
Randolph was very serious today. He didn't joking with anyone, nor was he complacent about yesterday's victory. He came to the training hall early and started shooting to warm up early. This guy seemed to have completely changed himself, but Link knew very well that this was what Zach really looked like.
Do you think he is laughing? In fact, he has always taken the game seriously. Do you see him haunt a nightclub? In fact, he is very active in training, and he also trains frequently.
Randolph has always wanted to lead the Grizzlies to the playoffs. He thinks this is his way of giving back to the Grizzlies. Now, this wish has been fulfilled. As a result, Randolph has another goal-to help the Grizzlies win their first playoff victory!
That's right, the Grizzlies have never won even one game in the playoffs so far.
The Grizzlies made the playoffs for the first time in the 03-04 season, and they were eliminated by the surging Spurs with a 4-0 sweep.
In the 04-05 season, the Grizzlies were still unable to fight against the whirlwind sun. At that time, the sun was sitting on the top five starters of Nash, Joe Johnson, Marion, Stoudemire and Quentin Richardson. Their attacking power made the Grizzlies completely dumbfounded. Throughout the series, the Grizzlies averaged 113 points per game and lost 11 points per game to the Suns. It's hard to lift your head!
In the 05-06 season, the Grizzlies reached the playoffs for the third consecutive year. This year their opponent was the Dallas Mavericks. This year, the gap between the Grizzlies' paper lineup and the Mavericks is too big. For the entire Grizzlies, the only player who can score in double figures in the playoffs is Pau Gasol. The Mavericks swept the Grizzlies with no effort.
After that, the Grizzlies did not appear in the playoffs until this season.
The Grizzlies reached the playoffs three times, and the results were not good three times. Therefore, what fans most want to see this year is that the Grizzlies can make their first victory in the playoffs.
Battier said when he first came to the Grizzlies that his goal was to help the Grizzlies win their first playoff game.
This shows that winning in the playoffs has become an obsession for Grizzlies fans and players. Every time I play the playoffs, I get swept 4-0, which is a bit too shameful.
So today, under Randolph's supervision, everyone is training very seriously. Including Uncle Mayo, who came the latest, did not slack off today.
The playoffs are approaching. Who doesn't want to perform well in the playoffs? People say that the playoffs are the stage for stars, but in fact, the playoffs are also a dream factory for creating stars.
Many players who are not well-known in the regular season have soared because of their outstanding performance in the playoffs. Therefore, even if it is a player like Mayo who can be said to have no professional attitude, he will train hard before the playoffs.
Link enjoys this atmosphere very much, which makes him feel like he is back in the development league and back to the blue team. Even in training, everyone is desperate!
At noon, the training was suspended and the media opening hours came. Today, many reporters came to the Federal Express Arena, but this will not surprise Hollins and the Grizzlies players.
As the playoffs are approaching, reporters must have many questions to interview players. There have been no NBA games in the past two days, and news about the NBA is supported by reporters.
Today, there are many reporters around every player. Because Link went to the locker room to change his soaked jersey after training, when he came out, the reporters had already interviewed other people, and Link became the last one to accept Interviewed.
"Link, I'm going to play the playoffs soon, how do you feel?" The first question is very regular, and it can be regarded as a "hot mouth" for Link.
"Excited, I can't wait to make a big splash in the playoffs. Of course, I will pass to Zach's ~EbookFREE.me~ and he is our number one scoring point."
Link's little joke made the reporters laugh. It was obvious that Link's mentality was still very relaxed.
"So what do you think of your opponent Oklahoma City Thunder? This season, the Grizzlies played against the Thunder 4 times, and both sides won 2 games. People say that Oklahoma City is even possible. Cause trouble for a team like the Los Angeles Lakers. So do you think the Grizzlies might pass the Thunder?"
On the second question, the reporters are no longer gentle. During the regular season, the Thunder and the Grizzlies have been fighting lively enough. The matchup between Link and Harden, Link and Durant, every time is extremely exciting. The so-called enemy road is narrow, the Grizzlies and the Thunder meet in the playoffs, so they have a lot of topics for hype.
"We hit fifth in the West, naturally not to warm the Thunder. If we have to answer, I can only say that we can win the series." After Link finished speaking, he found that the reporters were staring at him blankly. .
When interviewing others just now, everyone on the Grizzlies said, "We will strive to win the team's first victory in the playoffs."
And here at Link, it became a series victory!
"Are you sure, is the series victory?"
"Of course, otherwise we are fighting for defeat?" Link answered without hesitation, full of confidence.
Link knows very well that what other people say "for the first victory of the playoffs" is just because they are humble. But Link has always liked to tell the truth.
Just the first playoff victory is certainly not enough to satisfy the Grizzlies' appetite. The victory of an entire series is the real goal of the Grizzlies!
Threatening the defending champion Lakers? Let's talk about the Thunder after the first round.
