: 318: Graceful Beast

Link didn't know that he had been regarded as the cornerstone of the team by a certain diamond king. Originally, Link had not been involved in the matter of the Grizzlies being sold. After all, that is the business of the bosses, even if the players playing underneath are anxious, they are also anxious.
Now, Link's attention is all on the Los Angeles Clippers. As the fifth-ranked team in the Western Conference this year, the Clippers are not much different from the fourth-placed Lakers. Therefore, the Clippers and Lakers are likely to touch the third position in the West.
In other words, the two teams are now direct competitors in the rankings. The Grizzlies don't want to touch the Thunder in the second round, and the Lakers and Clippers don't want to meet Derby in the first round. Therefore, the two teams are eyeing this third position and will definitely fight each other against each other.
And before that, the Clippers and the Grizzlies played against each other twice, but they were both defeated. Paul and Griffin, naturally, wanted to seize this opportunity to be ashamed.
The game between the two teams has not yet started, and it was DeAndre Jordan who first stood up and got involved.
"I think Blake and I should be able to easily score inside the Grizzlies. We are not the same as before. The Grizzlies’ inside is also different from before. Now Link is the core of the Grizzlies, and inside, we I will definitely fight for it."
Link remembers that last time it was little Jordan who was slapped in the face for rude words. Come on, it was him this time.
Sometimes, you really don't know what Jordan's brain circuit is like. This guy is not very "mentally retarded" only when he is on the court, but under the basketball court, Jordan's "mental retardation" is actually no less than that of Cousins.
Of course, Jordan's words did not cause too much trouble. After all, Jordan is not the protagonist of this game. Secondly, his influence is really not big enough.
But Griffin, his inside partner, obviously has a much greater say in the media.
"I will work hard. Since the last time I lost to the Grizzlies, I have been waiting for this opportunity. I am eager to fight the Grizzlies and I am eager to prove myself. I believe that as long as we follow the tactics step by step and play our established Together, it’s not impossible to win the Grizzlies. We have already lost two games and there won’t be a third time."
Griffin's remarks in the face of the media are obviously much more mature. After all, I have lost the Grizzlies twice this season, and Griffin couldn't let go even if he wanted to let go.
Although the tone and words are very peaceful, Griffin's unwillingness and anger can still be seen between the lines.
Last season, he was a popular monster in the NBA. He played the 20+10 rookie season data that was only available to the epic insiders. He reached the All-Star in his first year in the NBA. In the slam dunk contest, basketball fans all over the world are He is crazy.
But this year? Everything took a turn for the worse. Link, who started in the All-Star Game and broke the three-point game record, robbed him of the limelight. Link, who has often won triple-doubles this season, robbed him of the limelight. The Grizzlies' excellent record also took the Clippers away. The limelight.
As if one summer later, Griffin and Link exchanged positions.
For a person who used to be aloof, it is naturally difficult for him to tolerate being replaced by others.
So today, Griffin's biggest goal is to calmly help the team win. By the way, I overwhelmed Link on the data!
Griffin hopes that he is still the strongest player in the 10th. Everyone is young and full of blood, who is willing to fall behind?
Wiggins, who "soaked wolfberries in a thermos," was after all.
Therefore, Link did not relax his vigilance because of Griffin's plain tone in the interview. The Grizzlies did win the Clippers twice before, and the second time they won was exceptionally easy.
But this time, from Paul, Griffin, Jr. Jordan to others, they are all eager to win more than ever, and they will fight more fiercely than ever.
Even in the face of defeated opponents, you have to work hard.

The day before the game against the Clippers, after training, Link stayed and finished the physiotherapy and prepared to go home.
While changing clothes in the locker room, Link saw Jimmy Butler's locker still open.
This is not surprising. Butler, the kid, stays for extra training almost every day. He hasn't been activated this season and hasn't got much playing time.
So Link told him, "If you want to sweat in an official game, you have to sweat in the training hall first."
Since then, Jimmy Butler has become an existence that comes earlier than Link and goes later than Link every day. Because Link has to play games and the schedule is intensive this season, naturally he can't practice with Butler.
Therefore, Link’s title of "Arena Mouse" only last year, and this year was snatched by Jimmy Butler.
I believe that next season, Butler will surprise everyone.
At the thought of becoming a mentor to a future superstar, Link was smug.
But today, what is unusual is that across from Link, Mark Gasol's locker is also open!
Because Gasol is a center forward, the load on his legs and feet is heavier than everyone else. Therefore, Hollins does not support his additional training.
Hard work is good, but if you get injured because of overloaded exercise, it will backfire.
Look at Yao Ming. It is a pity that he retired early due to various fatigue injuries.
Therefore, little Gasol rarely stays to practice. This is not lazy, after all, Gasol usually works hard when training. Without training, it's just a measure to protect yourself.
However, today, little Gasol's locker was not closed, and Link wanted to go to the training hall instantly. Marc Gasol, did you stay and practice?
※※※
When Link walked into the training hall in casual clothes, sure enough, Jimmy Butler was not the only one left today.
At this time, Little Gasol is training for the low attack with the assistance of the trainer.
Little Gasol is already hairy and hasn't shaved in a few months. His beard is as thick as James Harden. Coupled with his profuse sweat, Link felt hot when he looked at it.
"Mark, have you forgotten the keys to the house? You haven't left yet?" Link yelled, and Gasol stopped when he saw Link, and took a break.
"I'm very upset, I want to stay and sweat!"
"Oh? I quarreled with my girlfriend?" Link smiled, why can a man be upset? It's nothing more than career and women.
Oh, by the way, Gasol is also very likely to be upset about growing potatoes...
"No~EbookFREE.me~ I just can’t wait to fight DeAndre Jordan. So, get used to it in advance! Damn, has he figured out that I am the All-Star center this year, not him! "
Listening to Gasol's answer, Link began to find things interesting. Little Jordan's provocation seems to be nothing to Link, but to Little Gasol, there is some disrespect for people.
Originally, Pau Gasol was selected for the All-Star this year, which was somewhat questioned. Some people think that Jordan is more qualified than him. And what Jordan said before the game to "beat the Grizzlies inside" is indeed a naked provocation to Gasol.
Many people think that Gasol will not be angry, but in fact they just don't know him enough. This guy is an elegant beast if Link is asked to evaluate it!
His words and deeds, every move and every move, are simple and pure, clean and simple. He is smart but not cunning, strong but not reckless. He is slow but rhythmic, he is wild but rational. There is a kind of grace like a carnivorous beast in every gesture. To some extent, Gasol even has the same tone as the city of Memphis.
They are both conservative and radical.
It seems that this time, little Jordan made this elegant beast angry.
"So it seems that someone will be unlucky in the penalty area tomorrow." Link patted Gasol's butt, which is a common bulging action of men all over the world.
"Who do you think will be unlucky in the penalty area?" Gasol asked jokingly.
"It wasn't you anyway. Go home early to rest, Mark. So are you, Jimmy." Link finished and waved to the two who stayed for training.
Unexpectedly, so many interesting things happened. For tomorrow's game, Link started to look forward to it.
