: Eighty-five: When chaos is in progress

　　 On January 13, the Memphis Grizzlies played a game with the Pistons at the Palace of Auburn Hills in Detroit.
　　 Link is no stranger to the Detroit Pistons. After all, when he was in the Rockets, his first opponent was the Detroit Pistons.
　　 Speaking of it, Link almost forgot that he also played for the Houston Rockets.
　　 There is no suspense in this game itself. After the Grizzlies experienced the downturn in the previous game, they finally showed their strength today. Randolph turned upside down in the Pistons. He not only made 10 of 17 shots, he also won 17 free throw opportunities and hit 14 of them.
　　 Randolph, who scored 34 points and 17 rebounds, was like a beast that could not be stopped. He has scored 30+ points for the fifth time this season, and this guy seems to be more powerful than when he was young.
　　 And Rudy Gay’s performance was much better than in the previous game. With a thick protective gear wrapped around his shoulders, he played a very efficient game.
　　 Guy made 13 shots in the game and hit 10 of them. Gay scored 26 points, which undoubtedly made the Pistons worse.
　　 Because Guy and Randolph both showed excellent performance, Link will not have many opportunities today. 12 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists is Link's report card today, although not as impressive as the 28 points in the previous game. But overall, he did his task well.
　　 On the Pistons side, McGrady is the most dazzling one. McGrady played 36 minutes today, a season high. In 36 minutes, Tracy McGrady scored 16 points on 6-for-11 shooting, which was the only consolation for Pistons fans.
　　In the end, the Grizzlies defeated the Pistons 107-99 on the road and successfully won two consecutive victories. The Grizzlies have been controlling the entire game, Randolph and Gay's offensive pressured the Pistons out of breath. Overall, this game itself has nothing to say.
　　 Therefore, during today’s game, the commentators of the Palace of Auburn Hills talked about the most question: "Why did O.J. Mayo not appear today?"
　　 In this game, Mayo sat on the bench all night in a suit. Tony Allen started in place of Mayo, and there is no Mayo position on the bench. No media in the league knew why, and no news of Mayo's injury was received during this period.
　　 After the game, many Grizzlies players were interviewed by reporters. But the reporters are basically not asking about the game. Their question is one: "What happened to O.J. Mayo?"
　　 Link, as a very present member of the Grizzlies team, was naturally interviewed by reporters.
　　 Before the game started, Hollins explained to everyone that Mayo and Tony Allen’s fight on the plane must not be revealed to the media. He knows this will be shaken out sooner or later, but it must not be the Grizzlies player himself.
　　 Link kept in mind Hollins’s instructions, so he played dumb in front of the media, "I don’t know what happened, this is the decision of the head coach."
However, the magical media did not give up pursuing the truth because of this. After Link and the others returned to the locker room, Yahoo Sports broke the news that Mayo and Tony Allen were on the plane because of the game. Fight!
　　 "Damn it, it's fast!" Hollins covered his forehead, as if it were the Grizzlies who lost the ball today.
　　 Hollins had known for a long time that even if the Grizzlies didn’t say it, this incident would still be exposed. After all, there were still many crew members on the plane. They are not a member of the Grizzlies. If a reporter is willing to spend money to buy news from them, they will naturally be very happy to share what they have seen and heard.
　　 It's just that he didn't expect that this matter would be discovered so quickly.
　　 Fighting incidents are definitely harmful to the team. This news will certainly dominate the headlines of sports websites and newspapers for several days, and the players will be upset by this incident.
　　 Don't underestimate the impact of off-court incidents on the team. Arenas' "gun gate" almost destroyed the Wizards and Arenas himself. The discord between Kobe and O'Neal also indirectly caused the "Lakers F4" to lose in front of the O'Brien Cup.
　　 When the atmosphere of a team starts to collapse from the inside, can you still count on how strong the team is? After the victory in this game, the Grizzlies finally tied the record with the Hornets. If there are any errors, they will be thrown out of the top eight.
　　 But now, things have happened, and Hollins has no good way. The only thing he can do is remedy.
　　 "Today's victory is worth celebrating, but what happened on the plane yesterday is our shame!"
　　 Hollins is still very prestigious in the Grizzlies, when he yelled, he didn't let him stand up to refute.
　　 This is mainly because of Randolph and other big brothers, otherwise, Mayo might really stand up and challenge Hollins.
"My decision will not change. In the future, cards will be banned on the plane. And Mayo, the team still implements the decision to suspend you for 5 games. After all, you are the first to move. Everyone is a teammate, you should not be so impulsive ."
　　 In this matter, the Grizzlies are actually biased towards Tony Allen. As a result, Mayo is indeed the first to do it. Secondly, Mayo's negative attitude has long dissatisfied the Grizzlies. Tony Allen has always worked hard for the Grizzlies and has a more harmonious relationship with his teammates. Thirdly, this is not the first time Mayo has worked with his teammates.
　　As early as his rookie period, Mayo had a conflict with Darius Miles, who is now retired, and fought. Mayo, this guy has a conviction.
　　 After hearing his punishment, Mayo wanted to say something, but after Randolph glared at him, he said nothing.
　　 "Tony, there is something wrong with you. Just play a card, why should it be so real? The team decided to fine you $5,000 and pay more attention in the future." Although it favors Tony Allen, the team cannot completely punish him.
　　 In order to balance Mayo a little bit, the team also fined Tony Allen.
　　 Tony Allen nodded in agreement, he didn't want to make matters worse. If you make a mistake, you have to confess and punish it. It's that simple.
"Okay, let's end this matter. In the future, don't say anything to reporters about this matter. The team will talk. Let this matter pass. I don't want this kind of thing to happen again. Happened. Finally, you did a good job today and we can go home with victory."
　　 Hollins walked out of the locker room in distress, leaving only the players staring at each other. When the locker room was awkwardly quiet, Tony Allen stood up, walked in front of Mayo, and then stretched out his right hand.
　　 "Passed, didn't you?" Tony Allen didn't want the team to be affected by this incident, after all, the team is impacting the critical phase of the playoffs. Therefore, he took the initiative to put down the bottom and show good wishes to Mayo.
　　 "Hmm." Mayo patted Tony Allen's right hand expressionlessly, without even holding it. It can be seen that it is obviously emotional.
"Okay, okay, that's it. This season is still very long. Why do we have to keep working hard." Randolph immediately came out to round the field. It was the first time Link felt that the team could It's really nice to hold people down in the locker room.
　　 In this way, the Grizzlies ended their Detroit night. Tomorrow, they will return to Memphis and return to their sweet home court to prepare for the next game.
　　 Link had also heard the news about Mayo and Tony Allen fighting before he crossed over, but he didn't expect it to be this time. Even more unexpectedly, I actually participated personally.
　　 Link only hopes that this matter will not have much impact. The Grizzlies finally got better~EbookFREE.me~ It would be a pity if the results were affected by off-court factors.
　　※※※
　　 After returning to Memphis, Link casually flipped through his cell phone and newspaper, and he could see news about Mayo and Tony Allen fighting on the plane.
　　 He had to admire the reporters' ability to dig into the news, because the event that was eventually reported was basically the same as the actual event.
　　 When he was a fan, Link also questioned the authenticity of the reporter's report. But now, for the first time, he has realized how powerful reporters are. There are too many sources of their news, but it's not that the players themselves can avoid leaking the news by being tight-lipped.
　　 Now Link is more concerned about whether he has a chance to start after Mayo is suspended.
　　 Although Hill is the third position, he also played the third position in the NCAA. But Hollins has proved more than once that Link has no problem playing the second position.
　　 It's not that Link wants to take advantage of others, but if there is a chance to start, he will be happy to accept it.
　　 Link shook his head. Whether it's starting or substituting, he will do his best. Just as Link was about to go to training, he received a call from Randolph.
　　 "Zach? What's wrong?"
　　 "Have you heard?"
　　 "What? What did you hear?"
　　 "It's Mayo, he has another accident. This time, it is estimated that the league has banned him."
　　 Randolph's voice is full of anxiety, the team's big brother is broken.
　　 "What's the matter?" Link was also taken aback. He thought Mayo and Tony Allen were fighting again.
　　 "He was found to be taking banned drugs." Randolph replied in a self-deprecating tone. He really didn't want the young players to follow their old ways.
