: Seven hundred: another defender who is eyeing

Link was elected to the All-Star vote, which is expected, but there are some shocking things after it is really achieved.
Prior to this, only Yao Ming, the Chinese player in NBA history, could beat the superstars such as James and Kobe to become the All-Star vote. Of course, Yao Ming is also the first Chinese All-Star vote winner.
But to be honest, Yao Ming was able to win the 2005 and 2006 All-Star votes, part of the reason is the factor of the Chinese market.
Yao Ming overpowered O'Neal in his rookie season and was voted into the All-Star starter, which has given the NBA a glimpse of the mysterious Eastern power. In the years when the Internet gradually became popular in China in 2005 and 2006, it is not surprising that Yao Ming, who has a huge fan base, can become the ticket king.
Of course, Yao Ming's own strength is not bad, he is indeed one of the best centers in the NBA. To be fair, leaving aside the factors of the Chinese market, Yao Ming's chances of becoming the king of votes are not high.
However, Link as a Chinese, although there are dividends in the Chinese market, but definitely not as much as Yao Ming. In other words, Link can become the All-Star ticket king, in addition to the blessing of the Chinese market, but also because his strength is truly recognized by everyone, including American fans. It is more difficult for him to become the ticket king than Yao Ming.
So Link's ability to become the king of votes still aroused heated discussions.
However, on the second day of becoming the queen of votes, Link put Yao Ming in a high position, "Yao created an era, and he proved to the world that Asians can also gain a foothold on the basketball court. I am very happy. To inherit the glory he left behind, I will do my best to present you with a wonderful game in the All-Star Game."
Link is not particularly excited about becoming the All-Star ticket king. His mind is now all on his 10-game winning streak. After all, becoming the ticket king is something Link has been mentally prepared for.
From the first round of voting to the present, Link's ranking has not fallen from the first.
As the queen of votes, Link also said to Conley, "I'm waiting for you now."
Conley was very encouraged. He wanted to compete with Link in the All-Star Game.
The Grizzlies have been in for two consecutive years, and two people have been selected to the All-Star team. The first time was Gasol and Link, and the second time was Randolph and Link.
But this year, the market for inside players is very bad. Of the five Western Conference All-Star starters, only Griffin is an inside player. In the East, there is not even a single player inside. The inside players are ushering in their cold winter.
So, going to participate in the All-Star "place" with Link naturally fell on Conley. Conley didn't want to let the record of "two All-Stars every year" be broken by himself.
Therefore, after the league announced the final result of the All-Star vote on January 21, the Grizzlies became even more ferocious.
On January 24 and 25, the Grizzlies will play two games at home and away and the Rockets back to back.
These two games are considered to be the focus of the battle, and also considered to be a turning point in whether the Grizzlies can achieve their ten-game winning streak.
The Rockets with the All-Star starting point guard are naturally not weak teams. Although the record this season did not meet expectations, they still have hard power.
The Grizzlies want to beat the Rockets in two consecutive games, which is not simple. With bad luck, the Grizzlies may even lose their next two-game losing streak.
However, these two games have become a key battle for Mike Conley to build up his popularity.
In the first game at home to the Grizzlies, Chandler Parsons broke out again. He scored 34 points and shot 64.7%.
People have all said that this is Parsons's move to the All-Star vote king. Link also fought very badly, and the kid Parsons has run away on him for two consecutive games.
It's not that Link was not serious about guarding, but that guy could make it in random shots!
Now Link knows why so many teams will vie for big contracts for him in the future.
However, Harden's performance today is a bit sorry for his identity as an All-Star starting shooting guard. The Beard made only 2 of 11 shots. An All-Star starting level athlete, only 2 sports goals in the whole game, this is very incredible.
It seemed that Harden's hand feeling had all been absorbed by Parsons.
Under such circumstances, Conley's performance of 18 points and 9 assists plus 3 steals was the icing on the cake for Link.
Parsons beat four hands with one punch. Although he scored 34 points, under the joint cooperation of Conley and Link, the Rockets still lost 98 to 91. The Grizzlies won four straight!
After 24 hours, the two sides continued to fight. Only this time, the battlefield moved from Memphis to Space City.
Parsons blasted 37 points yesterday, as if he had used up all his luck. Today, in front of the home fans, he was almost autistic by Link.
"Gao Fu Shuai" made 5 of 16 shots and scored 11 points with a 31.3% shooting rate. The magical goals that could be scored yesterday have all failed today.
And Link gave a game-high 37 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, and won a triple-double for the fifth time this season!
Five triple-doubles in a single season, Link is currently the player with the most triple-doubles in the league this season.
Under Link's fierce revenge, Parsons was completely destroyed along with the rocket. 99 to 81, the Grizzlies wash the Toyota Center!
People thought that the Rockets could stop the Grizzlies, not to mention making the Grizzlies lose two games in a row, at least let the Grizzlies lose one game and get rid of their skin.
As everyone knows, the result is so disappointing.
The Rockets were unable to fight back in the continuous fight with the Grizzlies.
Under Link's aura, Conley's 17 points and 8 assists were not so dazzling. But even so, there were ESPN articles after the game claiming, "This year, Mike deserves an All-Star spot. There is no doubt that he is the best player on the Grizzlies besides Link."
It is a good thing that the media can speak for Conley. Although Link's aura is dazzling, it will also illuminate the people next to him.
So far, the Grizzlies have won 5 consecutive victories! The distance to the goal of 10 consecutive victories has been halfway steadily.
Next, the Grizzlies’ five opponents are the Trail Blazers, Kings, Timberwolves, Bucks and the most critical Thunder.
Before meeting the Thunder, among the Grizzlies' opponents, the Kings had just lost to the Grizzlies, and they have been proven not to have the strength to top the Grizzlies.
Although the Timberwolves have Love, the team's current record of 21 wins and 21 losses is also the best record in the past nine years, they still have the possibility of entering the playoffs. But expecting the Timberwolves to stop the Grizzlies is still somewhat unrealistic.
As for the Milwaukee Bucks... if anyone still has hope for the league's bottom-most team, then it's really a brain problem. The last time the Grizzlies in Remnant Blood were able to beat the Bucks, it was enough to show the strength gap between the two sides.
It seems that the only team that can prevent the Grizzlies from winning a 9-game winning streak before the Grizzlies and the Thunder fight is the Portland Trail Blazers.
Therefore, the Grizzlies' game against the Trail Blazers on January 28 is regarded as the last heavyweight battle in January except for the Thunder VS Heat!
If the Grizzlies win, then they will most likely take the next three opponents to win 9 consecutive victories, going straight to the Thunder, and get back the 10 consecutive victories they had lost.
If the Grizzlies fail, everything they did before will fall short, and Link's 10-game winning streak will become a joke.
The Blazers have high hopes from everyone, and they were only one step away from the playoffs last season. This season, the Blazers have been firmly between fourth and sixth in the West. Although it is difficult for them to go further, they are definitely not good opponents.
Aldridge, Lillard, Matthews, Batum and Lopez, none of the Trailblazers' starting five is a drag.
Even the omnipotent Grizzlies are destined to be unable to easily win over the Blazers.
What's more, the Trail Blazers also have Damien Lillard who is also eyeing the All-Star position...
※※※
At the end of the Grizzlies and Rockets' consecutive fights, the Portland Trail Blazers also ended their shopping with the Warriors at Oracle Arena.
Stephen Curry kept shaking his head after the game. As a team with a record similar to the Trail Blazers, he did not expect that he would lose so badly today.
103 to 88, 15 points difference, the Warriors lost miserably at home!
Sure enough, any team that runs into the Trail Blazers is destined to have no good fruit.
But it is not just this loss that upsets Curry the most, but also his performance today.
23 points, 8 assists and 6 rebounds, shooting 47.5% from the field. At first glance, Curry's performance today is nothing wrong, playing very well.
But if Bilillard, that's not the case.
Lillard faced Curry, the starting point guard of the Western Conference All-Stars today, blasting 38 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists. With 23 crazy shots, Lillard also shot 56.5% of his field goals and even three-pointers. 5 of 8 shots.
It is no exaggeration to say that Lillard completely blasted Curry today.
"Damien Lillard should be selected to the All-Star team. If the head coaches of the 30 teams are not blind, they should vote for Lillard!" Steve commenting on the game at the Warriors scene Cole couldn't help applauding Lillard.
Cole must admit that he is a fan of Curry. When nothing happened, Cole even fantasized about how to maximize Curry's role.
But today, he is still impressed by Lillard.
After the game, Lillard became the most watched boy in the audience.
An ESPN reporter naturally knew that in two days, the focus battle between the Blazers and the Grizzlies would begin. So he deliberately asked a question related to the Grizzlies.
"Mike and you, if you insist on choosing one, who do you think is more qualified for the All-Star bench?"
This reporter is obviously digging a hole for Lillard to jump~EbookFREE.me~ but Lillard is not stupid. Although he is only in the second grade, because he is an older rookie, his mind is more mature than the average second-year player. Generally speaking, he can't fault it.
"I don’t know, I can’t choose. I just know that I have to do my best in the game against the Grizzlies! There is no doubt that we want to win. This has nothing to do with the Grizzlies’ winning streak, because if we don’t want to win, we Why do you want to fight?"
Lillard knows very well that today can only be regarded as a warm-up, the greater challenge has not yet begun!
Last summer, Lillard and Aldridge had a good harvest at the Link training camp. At the same time, he also clearly saw Link's terrifying strength. Since then, Lillard has been aiming to defeat Link and the Grizzlies.
He is eager to beat the best.
And now, he added one more goal to this goal-defeating Mike Conley.
Lillard, who was running wild, showed great interest in preventing the Grizzlies from getting 10 straight victories.
