: 934: Good March, Bad March

　　Time entered March, and the temperature began to rise gradually.
　　 In addition to the temperature, there are also regular season games.
　　 And, Bill Simmons’ social media.
The day after Link said on the TNT program that he would give him a hat to Simmons, Simmons posted the "gift" Link gave himself on his social media, with a concise, easy-to-understand but full Emotional speech.
　　 "You bastard!"
　　 For a time, countless fans reposted Simmons's activity. The number of comments and likes for this post has also soared.
　　 But the reaction of most fans to this incident is not to sympathize with Simmons, but to think that Link has done a great job!
　　 empty top hat, this is a super occasional gift!
　　 "This is definitely the most intimate gift Link has ever given."
　　 "This treatment, even Rachel admires it."
　　 "I have to say that Link is really a bastard, but he is a we all like."
　　The matter of Link and Simmons has been talked about by fans and has become one of the biggest attractions in the league.
　　 In the first round of the playoffs at the end of April, no matter which team the Grizzlies face, that game will definitely have a huge audience rating.
　　 This is not only because of the game itself, but also because Simmons will live stream his head in the commentary.
　　 This kind of picture, everyone has no immunity, everyone is looking forward to it.
　　 Whether this scene will appear in the end depends on Link's performance in the last month and a half of the regular season.
　　 At the beginning of March, the Grizzlies played as smoothly as ever. From the victory over the Utah Jazz on March 3, to March 23, the Knicks were defeated by 21 points.
　　 The Grizzlies have been unbeaten in March and have won a wave of 13 consecutive victories. Counting the last three wins in February, the Grizzlies have a 16-game winning streak.
　　 16 consecutive victories, the Grizzlies finally tied the Warriors' single-season record for the longest consecutive wins this season.
　　 Also, the Grizzlies have won three ten-game winning streaks in a single season for the second consecutive season, which also made history.
　　 On the surface, the Memphis Grizzlies are in great shape. But only real Grizzlies fans and Grizzlies players know how hard they played in March.
　　 In March, the Grizzlies’ injury curse has not faded, but the power of the curse has been strengthened.
　　 Conley only played two games after his comeback, and his ankle injury recurred. In order to ensure the safety of Conley, he is now directly thrown into the daily watch list.
　　 To put it plainly, the return date is uncertain.
　　 Randolph, who has only been healthy for less than two months, stopped after entering March. Although he has not been absent continuously, he is also unable to maintain full attendance.
　　 Old Carter was unable to make a comeback, which put the Grizzlies' long-range shooting ability on the bench to a great test.
　　 At the worst time, Georgel had only 8 people available for a game. Although the Grizzlies' bench is still full of people, after a closer look, Quante is wearing a suit!
　　 It was in this situation that the Grizzlies made a wave of 16 consecutive victories.
　　 depends on Link's continuous super performance.
　　 On March 4th, he hit the Rockets. Gasol sent out a throw-in to directly assist Link Kekong to take the lore.
　　 Playing the Nuggets on March 16, Link 32 points, 10 assists and 12 rebounds. For the 14th time this season, he hit a triple-double, surpassing Kidd and Grant Hill's 13 times in a single season, ranking sixth in league history.
　　 Playing the Blazers on March 21, Link once again defended Lillard's hit rate but only 40%, allowing the Grizzlies to pass the game smoothly.
　　 The Grizzlies have not been easy along the way, and several times they lost the distance within a short time.
　　 Although they won 16 consecutive victories, the Grizzlies walked crookedly, as if they might fall off the cliff at any time.
After 16 consecutive victories, Stephen A. Smith started his exaggerated expression in a show again, "If someone else is to lead this Grizzlies, they will definitely fall into the top three! Look at LeBron The Cavaliers, look at Carmelo Anthony’s Knicks. Both teams also suffered from injuries of varying degrees during the season, but they are not as strong as the Grizzlies!"
　　 Steven A. Smith once again blown up Link and the Grizzlies, but the fans know that the Grizzlies are not safe.
　　 It was a miracle that they were able to win 16 consecutive victories in March when the camp was full of wounded soldiers, but the miracle cannot be maintained forever.
　　 Everyone thinks that it's only a matter of time before the Warriors regain the first place in the Western Conference, and after the game reaches the end of March, the Warriors' opportunity seems to have come.
　　 After the Grizzlies defeated Knicks Howe on March 23 and won 16 straight, the Grizzlies fell to the bottom.
　　In an instant, the entire Memphis entered the darkest moment.
　　 There is no transition between brilliance and trough, which makes all Memphis fans find it difficult to accept.
　　 On March 25, the neatly formed Cavaliers faced the Grizzlies, who lacked Randolph, Carter and Conley, and won 111-107.
　　 The Cavaliers scored 66 points together, and at the last moment they won the final victory with key goals from James and Irving.
　　 The two sides of the game were actually very anxious, but Link's shooting percentage at the critical moment seemed not so high.
　　 This is not because Link's ability has deteriorated, but because he is really tired!
　　 After the game entered March, the players' bodies were very exhausted. What's more, Link has almost supported the team on his own this month.
　　 Therefore, Link was very tired by the end of March.
　　 He spends a lot of time every day receiving Judy Saito's massage, he has reduced the training intensity during training.
　　 Otherwise, Link probably is already on the injured list.
　　 Under such circumstances, Link feels that it is difficult to sustain himself at the end of every game.
　　 Just playing other teams, most of the Grizzlies will not delay the game to the last moment. But in the face of the Cavaliers, James, Irving and Love definitely have this ability.
　　 The victory of this game undoubtedly made the Cleveland fans cheered. The Cavaliers finally defeated the Grizzlies once with a poor record in the regular season.
　　 This greatly boosted the confidence of the Cavaliers fans.
　　 Facts have proved that the Cavaliers can fight the Grizzlies. The ownership of this year's championship has not yet been concluded.
　　 However, no one thought that losing to the Cavaliers was just the beginning. In the following two days, the exhausted and wounded Grizzlies lost to the Spurs and the Warriors. After 16 consecutive victories, he experienced a wave of 3 consecutive defeats without warning!
　　 The Warriors and Spurs are both in great shape. They all know that this is one of the few good opportunities to defeat the Grizzlies.
　　 So, both teams gathered enough energy, took out their best form, went down to the ground and beat the Grizzlies to death.
　　 After this wave of 3 consecutive defeats, the whole world was shocked.
　　 The outside media and fans were originally expecting the Grizzlies to lose, but when the Grizzlies did lose consecutively, they found that they were a little uncomfortable.
　　 3 consecutive defeats on other teams may just be normal. But for the Grizzlies, this is an incredible event!
　　 After all, the last time the Grizzlies lost a three-game losing streak, it has to go back to the 11-12 shrinking season! For the next two seasons, the Grizzlies have hardly lost a game.
　　 Now, the Grizzlies’ defeat is coming, looting the entire alliance like a flood, and leaving the world caught off guard.
　　 Fortunately, in the last match of March, facing the King without Cousins, the Grizzlies successfully won the victory and stopped the losing streak in time.
　　 Throughout March, the Grizzlies' record of 18 wins and 15 wins is actually still very good. After the end of March, the Grizzlies' record has also become 62 wins and 11 losses, still ranked first in the West.
　　 But the Warriors, who were 61 wins and 13 losses, are no longer far away from the first place in the West~EbookFREE.me~. The dominance of the Grizzlies seems to be swaying in the wind.
　　 The last half of the regular season is left. Injuries are afflicting the Grizzlies. In addition, the brave Warriors are still watching from behind.
　　 It seems that the Golden State Warriors have already stepped half of their feet on the throne in the West.
　　 After the time entered April, Link continued to win the Western Conference Player of the Month with his personal data exploding.
　　 This is the fifth time Link won the monthly best this season. He became the player with the most monthly best in a single season in NBA history.
　　 Although it broke a terrible record, the atmosphere at the press conference was very heavy.
　　 There is no doubt that this is related to the Grizzlies’ best losing streak.
At the press conference for the best awards of the month, a reporter asked Link a question,
At the beginning of the season, you said that you not only want to defeat the Warriors, but also take first place in the West. But now, the situation seems to be right. The Bears are at a disadvantage. Do you still think the Grizzlies can keep the first place in the Western Conference before the end of the regular season?"
　　 After hearing this question, Link's eyes changed. His face suddenly turned from sunny to cloudy, very serious.
　　 "The Memphis Grizzlies still won't fall, and my words still count. I know that our injury list is long enough to be a phone book. But as long as I haven't fallen, the Warriors won't want to climb up."
　　 Georgel turned his head and glanced at Link beside him, the murderousness in that guy's eyes made people afraid to look directly.
　　 In the last half of the month, the battle for No. 1 in the West will be fiercer than ever.
