: 251: Contrast under the microscope

Every year, only 60 lucky young people in the world can enter na to play through the draft. The 60 selected, stepping on the bodies of countless unsuccessful players with dreams of impact, won the chance to win a contract. But even so, not all of these 60 people can survive in na.
Thabeet, who is currently playing for the Viper team, has now lost sight of everyone, and has become a hot potato that the Rockets can't have time to shake. However, it was only two and a half years since he was called the "next Mutombo".
Tyler Griffin is currently still looking for the possibility of returning to play. As a second-round pick in 2009, he only played 8 games with the Suns before being cut. Seeing his younger brother Blake Griffin screaming in the league, I don't know what Taylor is feeling.
From the second round to the second round, only half of the 60 players selected each year will survive in the league. Being selected only means that you have the qualifications to compete with the best basketball players in the world. But whether you can compete or not depends on your own attainments.
Even the players who are successfully selected are so down, let alone those players who can't even get into this 60-man range.
If you lose the draft, you can usually only work hard to show yourself in the summer league. With good luck, I can get a 10-day short contract to subsidize my family. Bad luck, can only go abroad to play, and since then gave up the dream of na.
And can you accumulate your talents and make a prestigious defeat in na? It is really rare.
Therefore, when the Los Angeles fans and the media discovered that a losing pick was actually going to compete with their favorite No. 1 pick for the starting position of the All-Star, they were temporarily unacceptable.
Indeed, before Link, Ben Wallace had set an example for the group that lost the draft. Getting the maximum salary, playing All-Stars, and harvesting the championship has proved to the world that losing the draft can also do these things!
But at the time, Big Ben's success had nothing to do with the Clippers. Big Ben played all his career in the Eastern Conference. Even if he was selected as an All-Star starter, he could not influence the Western Conference.
But now, when Link touches the "cake" of the Los Angelesers, they immediately quit.
Clippers team reporter John Buha's remarks aroused extensive discussion. There must be someone who supports him. Almost all Los Angeles fans are on his side.
But if there is support, there must be opposition. The local Memphis media declared, "John Buha's performance is extremely disrespectful to the fans."
Former Na’s well-known coach and now-famous commentator Hubi Brown said,
The All-Star Game is a fan event, and everyone should respect the fans’ choice. Buha’s attack on Link is ridiculous. Because of the choice of Link Yes, it is the fans themselves!"
"I don't know what that buddy is sour, but he just devalues ​​Link to nothing and can't stop Link's upward momentum. What's wrong with losing the draft and starting the All-Star? As long as you have the strength, who cares about your origin ?" Charles Barkley also surfaced his position in a block program on tnt television.
It seems that in addition to the local media and fans in Los Angeles, most people are on Link's side.
That's right, the fans originally voted for Link, which shows that they wanted to see Link start.
Let this magical undrafted pick play against James and Anthony, and see how Link and Durant, the old enemies, will cooperate. Just thinking about these pictures, fans find it interesting.
John Buha's clever remarks plunged him into dire straits.
But since the topic has been opened, it can no longer be retracted.
Link sighed, now it's all right. Before the voting result of the All-Star Game came out, every game between himself and Griffin would be observed by people with a magnifying glass. Every time they play, they will be compared by people.
In Link's eyes, the All-Star Game was just an entertainment item, and there was nothing good about it. Competitive sports, real sports is the highlight. And performance undoubtedly loses the most attractive part of competition.
But now Link knows that the blood and blood behind the All-Star Game is quite strong!
In this fiery atmosphere, the Grizzlies are back on the road after losing to the Thunder.
Prior to this, the Grizzlies ushered in great news-Randolph's knee has finally healed.
After several games of recuperation and physical therapy, Randolph's knee pain disappeared completely, and he was in a satisfactory state during training.
So on January 12, the Grizzlies vs. Knicks game became the beginning of Randolph's small test.
In this game, Anthony only played 20 minutes due to injury and scored 14 points. The most exaggerated is that even so, this is already the Knicks’ highest score today.
Randolph scored 26 points and 10 rebounds and beat the "little bully" Stoudemire into a "little chicken". As for Xiao Bawang, Link only serves Sun Ce next door.
Who is Sun Ce? ? ?
Link also performed well, 22 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. When the Big Black Bear and Link once again "fitted together", the Grizzlies seemed to have become that brutal beast again.
94 to 83, the Grizzlies easily eliminated the Knicks and avoided losing streak.
But at the same time, the Los Angeles Clippers killed the Miami Heat at home! Griffin had 20 points and 12 rebounds. Although his shooting percentage was only an impressive 391, but because his opponents were the Big Three in Miami, the Los Angeles media could not help but blow Griffin.
"He should be a well-deserved All-Star starter!"
Link doesn't want to talk nonsense with the Los Angeles media, but Randolph is different.
"His shooting rate is higher than that of Link's shots with his eyes closed." Randolph, who had already grown scum, helped Link to respond.
On the 14th, the Grizzlies defeated the Hornets in the reconstruction at home. Link had 23 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists. Randolph had 20 points and 11 rebounds. The Grizzlies won two straight. The Clippers did not have a game today, and the quarrel was temporarily silenced for a day.
On January 16, the Grizzlies fought the Chicago Bulls again. Last time he played with the Bulls, Link scored a 40-point triple-double, so the fans are looking forward to this game. But Derrick Rose's injury made the game suddenly become boring.
Without Rose, the Bulls' offense is simply misfired. According to a reporter who asked not to be named, Thibodeau’s tactical manual has only one word on the offensive tactics page: Derrick Rose.
Without Rose, the Bulls would hardly be able to attack.
Link had 24 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. He didn't play any exaggerated data like a 40-point triple-double. Mainly because the entire fourth quarter was garbage time, Link didn't play very much and couldn't refresh the data. 102 to 86, the grizzly bears first in the East!
Today, the Clippers lost to the Jazz by 29 points! Griffin was battered by Millsap, only 10 points and 11 rebounds, and his shooting percentage was still a low 41.
Now, it’s the Memphis media’s turn to cry,
A few days later, when the results of the second round of voting are announced, I wouldn’t be surprised if Griffin falls to third. As a player who focuses on offense in the penalty area , The hit rate is not even 45, which is ridiculous."
John Buha: ""
Griffin: "I want to quit the group chat."
In the next two games, the Grizzlies defeated the Hornets and Pistons respectively, and the points difference was more than 10 points.
In two games, Link had 18 points, 10 assists and 3 rebounds in a game, and finally got another double-double. A game with 24 points, 7 assists and 6 rebounds, another standard 20+5+5.
At this point, the Grizzlies have achieved the longest five-game winning streak of the season after losing to the Thunder! It can be said that it is very promising to help Link to harvest fans crazy!
On the other hand, the Clippers lost to the defending champion Mavericks in two games, and lost to the Timberwolves in an upset! And in these two games, Griffin's shooting percentage was around 40. The 40 shooting percentage is not high for outside players, let alone Griffin is an inside! If it were the bloodbath of the Jazz, the Clippers would have lost three straight!
The Clippers' consecutive losses and Griffin's recent downturn have made this popular monster questionable.
"Behind the wonderful dunk, is he really qualified to be an All-Star starter?" This is an article published by an espn columnist with the title, Griffin has been pushed to the forefront!
At this critical moment, two days before NA announced the results of the second round of the All-Star Game, on January 19, the Clippers beat the Raptors 103-91 at home. Griffin had 18 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists~EbookFREE.me~ 545 shooting!
All Los Angeles fans cheered, Griffin finally saved his face!
John Bucha said excitedly after the game, "In two days, we will witness Griffin become a member of the Western Conference All-Star starter!"
In this regard, Link is not nervous. Because tomorrow, the last day before the league announced the voting results, the Grizzlies will play a game with the Sacramento Kings at home.
And he believes that he can definitely perform better than Griffin. Tomorrow is really bad. With his previous performance, Link thinks he should be able to surpass Griffin in the number of votes.
"What, Griffin only scored 18 points for the Los Angeles people? Look at it, Link's score tomorrow is lower than this, I will walk back to the locker room upside down!"
As a result, Randolph, who had grown a little sloppy beard, helped Link establish an fg in front of reporters.
Link was speechless. He originally said that the king was not very strong, so he didn't need to be too serious. It's good now, and I can't play health basketball anymore.
