: Eight hundred and thirty-six: Is the ten-point gap not big enough?

The problems encountered by the Grizzlies after the loss of Randolph and Iguodala are naturally seen by others.
In the NBA, the state of a team is never a secret. Any problems that you expose during the game will be presented in the game video.
And these problems are likely to be the breakthrough point for the opponent to defeat himself.
Because of this, Dwight Howard is so arrogant. He believes that the Grizzlies can overwhelm in the three-second zone with insufficient internal reserves.
Not only does he have to win, but he also has to win gorgeous statistics!
What's more, the Grizzlies are still back-to-back away games, which greatly improves Howard's self-confidence.
Howard, who entered the league as a high school student, is now almost 30 years old. He knows very well that his physical condition is getting worse and worse with age and injuries. It is very likely that he will never be able to find the state of the magic period, and his peak is likely to end.
He is eager for honor and a championship, so he wants to seize the victory at the peak of the tail. In Howard's view, this year is the best opportunity.
Therefore, Howard this season is extremely irritable. His desire for victory and his hostility towards opponents have reached an unprecedented height.
The season has just started and not even a month, Howard has repeatedly clashed with opponents on the court. Among them, there are many big names like Garnett and Kobe.
Howard has completely changed, he is no longer the sunshine boy from Orlando. He became more violent, dark, and bloodthirsty.
He was never angry before, and now he starts to talk trash at his opponent. He used to laugh a lot, but now he is pushing and shoving on the court.
In order to win, even if this step is done, Howard thinks it is understandable.
This time, Howard brought his anger to Link.
Defeating the strongest opponent, what else can prove yourself better than this?
The Rockets have won five or more starts three times in a row and reached the finals three times. Howard believes that the Rockets can continue this record this year!
As long as the Grizzlies can be stepped underfoot, the finals are no longer a fantasy!
Defending champions will always become the number one goal of other teams...

Although the season has just begun, the consecutive away games still make Link feel extremely tired.
"Zack, get up!" Link opened his eyes and yelled habitually.
"Huh? Zach?" Toby Allen sat up from the bed with a dazed expression, and Link realized that it was Tony Allen who was sleeping with him today. Randolph had returned to Memphis for treatment because of injuries...
Link shook his head, he was a bit unaccustomed to the days when the major general was short of soldiers. In the past two seasons, injury problems have basically not appeared on the Grizzlies. Even if there is, it is only a minor injury of missing two or three games.
This year, all teams in the league suddenly broke out with injuries, which is indeed evil enough.
But when he thinks of the Thunder and the Pacers, Link instantly feels that the Grizzlies are not bad. At least the Grizzlies still have the strength to compete for the title, and the Thunder and Pacers have even suspended the playoffs this year...
After washing, Link wanted to go to the hotel gym to exercise as usual, but when he walked to the entrance of the gym, he was stopped by the hotel security.
"Ms. Judy Seto ordered that no Grizzlies players should be allowed in. So, I'm sorry, Mr. Lin."
"Uh...can't the Grizzlies players enter?" Link scratched his head awkwardly. Just then, a rush of footsteps came from behind Link.
"Link, go back and have a good rest! The game is going tonight. You need to save your energy and relax your muscles." Judy Seto had long since guessed that there would be players coming to the gym, so we went to the gym together. Hurry here.
Recently, the Grizzlies suffered two consecutive serious injuries, making the entire medical team very nervous. Although injured in the competitive sports arena, it is inevitable and unpredictable. But the entire medical team is still quite self-blame, so they have developed a series of strict player protection plans.
The most important of these is to avoid overworked players.
In addition to normal training, the medical team does not recommend any additional training for the players. The chief team doctor Moon even gave Jogel a list of players' playing time recommendations, hoping to appropriately reduce the players' playing time to play a protective role.
After all, this is just a regular season, there is no need to fight to exhaustion. No one available in the regular season is better than no one available in the playoffs.
"I... just want a simple morning run." Link curled his lips. He thought Seto's reaction was too exaggerated.
"That's not okay, Link. Zach and Andre are already in the hospital bed, and you don't want to join them." Saito's attitude is very firm. From now on, she will not allow any more players to be injured. .
Link shook his head helplessly, and could only return to the hotel room. From now on before entering the Toyota Center to prepare for battle, he and everyone else on the Grizzlies can only sit in the room and wait.
"Don't worry, Link. Rest and rest before back-to-back combat is not bad for you. If you are bored, you can reply to your number one fan Dwight Howard on social media." Tony Allen sat leisurely on the bed , Shook the phone at Link, but he was not at all impatient.
"Dwight Howard? What did he say?" Link took out his mobile phone and looked at the recent comments of the stars on social media.
Since the Grizzlies were still in Oklahoma City last night and rushed to Houston overnight, Link did not know what Howard said in the interview.
Under the reminder of Tony Allen, I took a look at social media and found that Howard was so arrogant.
Of course, in addition to Howard, many reporters are more excited than ever. Because in the Grizzlies vs. Thunder game yesterday, they seemed to see a crack in the iron armor of the Grizzlies this "invincible battleship".
"Will the Memphis Grizzlies with injuries begin to fall off the altar?"
"Without Westbrook and Durant, the Thunder almost made a comeback. This shows that the Grizzlies' dominance is greatly reduced!"
"The good luck for the Grizzlies is over. It turns out that even God doesn't want to see the Grizzlies build a dynasty."
And, as Dwight Howard said, "It's time to change dynasties."
"Well... I didn't expect it to be so lively. If I remember correctly, it was us who won the game last night." Link looked at the cynicism of the media and suspected that his memory was confused.
Not only did the Grizzlies win, they also won by 10 points. How come to social media, to the media, it looks like the Grizzlies lost the game.
"Perhaps, we can only win by 10 points now?" Tony Allen spread his hands. Yesterday's game was indeed thrilling, but the result was not bad.
"Interestingly, do the Houstonians really think that winning a six-game winning streak is equivalent to winning the championship? Tonight, they have to get a good understanding of the championship level." Link looked at the phone screen and found that he couldn't sit still.
So he entered Howard's social media homepage ~EbookFREE.me~ and left a "friendly" message under the video of his interview last night.
"The reason why the Houston Rockets were able to win six games in a row was because the San Antonio Spurs had neither Duncan nor Ginobili in the last game. Like us, the Rockets beat almost all teams that are ineffective. The illusion of winning streak made them complacent. But with a complete lineup, they defeated an incomplete opponent. This is not something to be proud of. Houston fans don't worry, we can let the Rockets face reality tonight and let your boys dispel that unrealistic fantasy. By the way, Dwight, your trash talk sucks."
After Link finished replying, he lay back on the bed contentedly.
"What? Are you willing to rest now?" Tony Allen smiled at Link.
"Well, let's save your energy until the night to deal with the Rockets. Since they think the 10-point difference is too small, let them lose a little bit worse."
Link finished speaking and closed his eyes.
Sometimes, proper rest is indeed beneficial for more violent outbreaks.
