: Two hundred and sixty-two: the worst is yet to come

Losing to the San Antonio Spurs for the second time this season made the Grizzlies players feel a little nervous.
The Spurs this season is really not easy to mess with, Tim Duncan has become more and more courageous, at the age of 36 years old, he was able to recover.
Kawai Leonard, a rookie, has somewhat resolved the problem of the Spurs' weakness in the third position. Leonard was unknown in the draft, but now he has a small reputation. His data is not amazing, but his defensive ability and occasional explosive data make people talk about it.
And Link knew that that guy could do more than that.
After losing to the Grizzlies in the Western Conference semifinals last season, people say that the Spurs dynasty is about to end and the myth of GDP is about to be broken.
However, the Spurs now rank second in the West and have defeated countless powerful enemies. It seems that they still have the ability to shake things up in the west!
The San Antonio Spurs have never been that simple.
As time enters February, the schedule is still torturing the nerves of all 30 teams in the league.
One day off on February 1, and the grizzly bears were immediately back to back. On the 2nd, we will play the Hawks in Atlanta, and on the 3rd we will fly to Oklahoma to play the Thunder. In addition to sleeping during this period, at least two hours of flying time are required.
After playing the Thunder, it's not over yet. There was no game on the 4th, but on the 5th, the Grizzlies had to fly from the west to the east coast to challenge the Eastern giants Boston Celtics away. On the 6th, the Grizzlies continued back to back home. And this time their opponent, Hollins took it very seriously-it was the San Antonio Spurs again!
The back-to-back schedule has become more and more frenzied, at first it was back-to-back at home, and then back-to-back in the West. Now, it's a back-to-back competition that spans the east and west directly!
From Boston to Memphis, civil aviation has no direct flights at all, and must be transited. It takes about five or six hours to sit down!
Although Grizzlies players have private direct flights to take, they still need more than three hours of flight time.
After playing the difficult Celtics, he immediately took a three-hour flight back to Memphis, then slept and beat the Spurs again...
The picture is so beautiful that Hollins dare not think about it.
You don't need to play to know that the game that day will be very tough. In any case, Hollins needs to win a victory from the Spurs.
The Spurs are still the opponents the Grizzlies may encounter in the playoffs. Hollins doesn't want to go to the playoffs to play against the Spurs with a total loss.
Just looking at these schedules, Hollins found it difficult enough. But it’s harder, it’s yet to come...
On February 2nd, they fought the Atlanta Hawks. Despite the long journey, the Grizzlies slaughtered each other cleanly, 96 to 77.
In the last loss to the Spurs, the Grizzlies players were already aggrieved. I met a soft persimmon today, sure but a good pinch.
As a result, it squeezed directly.
The Grizzlies let the Hawks fail to score 80 points, which is indeed a manifestation of the huge gap in strength between the two sides. Kevin Harlan, who explained the game, joked, "In the East, the Eagles may not have seen this kind of defense."
Link scored 21 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists today, once again the team's highest scoring data.
With Randolph's ups and downs due to the tight schedule and Gay losing his core position, Link has unknowingly become the top scorer of the Grizzlies!
For comparison, "Singles King" Joe Johnson and "CIC Young Boy" Josh Smith, together today only scored 21 points.
However, the Grizzlies players were not too excited to defeat the Hawks. Because after 24 hours, they have to face the thunder that is difficult to deal with.
The Thunder played No. 1 at home, No. 2 took a day off, and No. 3 played against the Grizzlies at home instead of running around. Moreover, the Thunder are mostly young people. It can be said that their physical reserves are much better than the Grizzlies.
On the second day of the game, Scott Brooks waved his hand to make the Thunder run up and fight, completely killing the Grizzlies.
In the first three quarters, the two sides played equally well, but in the key rounds of the last quarter, the Grizzlies missed a few shots due to lack of energy, so they were 6 points away, regretting to bid farewell to Oklahoma City.
The Thunder attacked very fiercely in this game. Durant 36 points, Westbrook 21 points, James Harden 26 points, and the three team broke out, giving the Thunder fans a coveted victory.
Link and Gay performed well today. The former had 24 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists, and the latter had 23 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists. But the exhausted physical energy made the Grizzlies pass by with victory.
Although it was only a few rounds of misses, in this kind of crucial game, a few rounds are enough to make a life and death.
The Grizzlies players returned to the locker room unwillingly, first losing to the Spurs and then to the Thunder. The Grizzlies have been taking revenge this season.
The Grizzlies and Thunder have played 3 games this season, with a record of 1 win and 2 losses. Played two games with the Spurs, and didn't win one straight game.
Everyone is very upset. If just two minutes of physical fitness can last, even if only two minutes, the Grizzlies might be able to bite the game down!
"Damn it, shrank the season!" Randolph dropped his jersey to the ground angrily as soon as he returned to the locker room. He is undoubtedly the most affected Grizzlies player this season.
Because of the relationship between physical fitness and injury, Randolph's condition this year has been very ups and downs. Sometimes it can still cut 20+10, but sometimes it almost disappears. Under such circumstances, his data has also fallen sharply.
In the regular season last season, he averaged 20.1 points and 12.2 rebounds per game. This season, he only scored 13.7 points and 9.2 rebounds. Had it not been for Link to grow up and Gay to come back, the Grizzlies would definitely lose their fighting power this year.
"Okay, Zach, don't be angry, you will gain weight when you are always angry. Look at you, your belly is getting bigger again." Link patted Randolph's belly, causing the depressed teammates in the dressing room to laugh. Laughed.
"I..." Randolph was speechless, feeling temperless at once. Last season, he was "mooding" on Link, but this was a good time, and Link started to "mouse" him.
But Randolph always felt like something was missing. Usually, after Link finished speaking, Tony Allen would answer the conversation. Randolph then looked up for a circle, but did not find Tony Allen.
Usually the game is over and the players go back to the locker room. Because some people want to be interviewed, and some people like to stay on the court, it is not always clear who is back and who is not.
"Where is Tony?" Randolph asked.
Link also raised his head and looked around the locker room, indeed he did not see Tony Allen. If there is no interview, Tony Allen is usually the first to go back to the dressing room, but he has not returned today until now, which is really strange.
"That guy won't run to fight with Durant? He was tortured badly by Durant today." Conley joked.
"Durant tortured us badly enough. By the way, at the end of today's game, Tony limped a few steps after trying to block the ground. That guy, nothing will happen, right?" Link suddenly thought of a detail with horror.
The density of the schedule is so high that every team has frequent injuries. And today Tony Allen defended very hard and consumed a lot.
Link shook his head, but never crow's mouth.
As a result, ~EbookFREE.me~ Tony Allen walked into the locker room with the help of the team doctor. It turned out that Tony Allen just went for a checkup.
"I don't think I can play the next few games, guys." As soon as he entered the door, Tony Allen smiled helplessly at everyone, and his ankle swelled into a ham.
The kind with oversized roots.
Link really wants to slap himself, right?
First Arthur and Conley, then Randolph, and now Mr. Tony. This is already the fourth player injured by the Grizzlies this season.
This kind of thing was impossible last season. This year, there are too many accidents.
In the next two games, back-to-back playing Celtics and Spurs, without Tony Allen?
Link can already imagine how desperate Hollins is now.
For some reason, Link's eyes moved to Jimmy Butler unconsciously.
