1061: Dignity smashed by Link

When the rebounding red glowed, Kevin Durant didn't even hear the sound of the buzzer.

Because the cheers at the scene were too exaggerated, they completely drowned out the beep like a tide.

Next to Durant, Stephen Curry raised his head dumbly. At this moment, he felt like he was back in 2015.

At that time, he and the Warriors also reached the Western Conference Finals unstoppable. They thought they could fight the Grizzlies, but unexpectedly, they were pressed to the ground and rubbed against the Grizzlies.

I thought this situation would change after winning the championship last season. However, now it seems that it has returned to the starting point.

131 to 99, the Grizzlies beat the Warriors at home with 32 points!

Among them, Link scored 45 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists. Although 45 points is only Link's second highest score this season, he scored 45 points on the Warriors, which is completely different in value.

Of course, if you think the Grizzlies only win the game by breaking out of the stars, you're a big mistake.

Because except Link, the rest of the Grizzlies also played very well.

"Pork Belly" Jokic scored 14 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, and scored a triple-double in an understatement.

Gasol Jr. scored 18 points, and it turns out that if he hadn't been reimbursed last season, the Warriors might not have been able to pass the Western Conference Finals.

Spencer Dinwiddie also gave the Warriors a great deal today. His performance at 4 of 5 shots from outside the three-point line will definitely make the Warriors no longer dare to let him shoot three-pointers.

Cole now regrets it very much, regretting why he did not do his best to convince Nash this summer. He does not believe Dinwiddie's progress outside the three-point line and has nothing to do with Nash.

"The Grizzlies' performance is perfect. From the second quarter, they have been in control of the game. Their performance undoubtedly made everyone find a new idea to fight against the five small lineups."

Hubby Brown looked at the Grizzlies' statistics and there was nothing to be picky about.

Although it is not cautious to judge the strength of the two strong teams in one game, at least the Grizzlies have proved that they have the strength to compete with the defending champions.

With five years and four championships, this thing that has never happened in history may really be turned into reality by the Grizzlies.

After reading the Grizzlies' players' data, Hubby Brown looked at the Warriors again.

If one word has to be used to describe the Warriors' performance today, then this word can only be a terrible sight.

First of all, as the team's core organization, Draymond Green only gave only one assist in the whole game today.

The Warriors' assists were only 15 times today.

Under the Grizzlies' excellent defensive strategy, the Warriors' smooth offense disappeared completely. In the past, Curry and Green's balls that could complete assists were all resolved by Jokic and Gasol's defensive strategies today.

Many balls, let alone assists, are not allowed to pass them at all.

15 assists in a single game, which is also the Warriors' assists so far this season.

The previous record was 24 times they played against the Spurs on October 25, and today they fell 9 times directly from the lowest record, which shows how much resistance the Warriors encountered.

So where did the Warriors' previous assists go? It's very simple, it all turned into mistakes because of stealing or destroying.

Today, the Warriors made 23 mistakes. Among the starters, only Thompson, who didn't need to hold the ball, did not make any mistakes. The other four players, including Valaijo, who didn't play much, made at least two mistakes. Green and Curry, two big ball-holders, each made four mistakes.

The team made 23 mistakes, which is another record for the Warriors this season. In comparison, the Grizzlies only made 10 mistakes today. It is clear which of the two sides' offenses is more efficient.

Of course, losing 32 points in a single game is also the most embarrassing game the Warriors have lost this season.

Usually they abuse others with such a big score, but today, they finally became prey.

After the game, the proud Warriors players all lost their faces.

They might have thought they would lose, but they would never have thought they would lose so badly.

One game, three shameful records, this was a huge blow to the Warriors.

Since this is in Memphis, almost all media went to interview Grizzlies players after the game.

The defending champions were ignored at all, and they were completely ignored!

This may be the most depressing time the Warriors have since won the championship.

Their dignity as champions was hit hard by Link and broke.

The Warriors have been the king of the world for less than a year and seem to have been abandoned by people.

Of course, there are the most reporters around Link, with 45 points in a single game. In comparison, Durant only scored 23 points today.

From personal performance to team performance, Durant was unable to even compete with Link today.

Before the game, Durant and Green both had a verbal battle with Link, so Link's answer was also related to those two people.

"Link, how do you evaluate the Grizzlies' performance today? 131 points in a single game, what do you think this means?"

"This shows that we have torn off the last fig leaf of the Warriors as a pseudo-strong team. Warriors fans should not rush to scold me. Because this is not what I said, it is Green. Before the game started, he was complacent about the Warriors' high score. But today, they were beaten back to their original form."

Link complained without any mercy. He finally won the game so beautifully, so how could he let Green and Durant go!

"So, what do you think Green only got one assist today?"

"There is no complicated reason. He is just too weak. When we increased the intensity of the defense, Green didn't know where to pass the ball. He made more mistakes than assists today, so what else can I say? But he must be very glad that he still got the three-single data and he can continue to be his three-single superstar."

Link shrugged, the feeling of scolding others but being unable to refute them. No matter how many times he experienced it, it was so refreshing!

"Where is Kevin? Did he cause you any trouble today?"

"Of course, Kevin has caused me a huge problem. Otherwise, I could have scored 50 points. But compared to me, I believe that our second round pick must have left a deep impression on Kevin." Link not only cared about himself, but also helped his teammates get justice.

"The last question, Link. Do you think the Grizzlies can break the Warriors' dominance this season? Can you return to the championship throne?" The reporters were happy enough and were ready to end it with the most exciting question.

Link looked at the camera and shook his head gently, "It's so laughing, breaking the Warriors' dominance? When did they rule this league? In the past four years, they have only won one championship, and I have three. Do you call this rule? It's at most good luck! Don't worry, our goal this year is the highest honor. Yes, we may just be a group of second-round picks and undrafts. But this is the way for Memphis, it's better not to get in the way!"

Link's answer was very domineering, and many fans who watched the interview in front of the TV were shocked by goosebumps.

With such a leader, the Grizzlies will never withdraw from the championship!

Link was really powerful in the post-match sideline interview, while Green and Durant were embarrassed at the post-match press conference.

"Kevin, you said before the game that the Grizzlies could not rise by relying on a second-round pick. So, how do you view Jokic's attack on the Warriors' inside line today? Or is it that the Warriors' inside line can't even stop the second-round pick?"

"..." Durant buried his head and could only remain silent!

"Draymond, he was scored 131 points by the Grizzlies. Do you still think they are pseudo-strong teams? What about the Warriors?"

"..." Green couldn't even say a word, and he slapped himself in the face. It was too late to hurt, so what else to say.

Finally, Durant could only defend himself weakly, "After losing to the Lakers 20 points last time, we said we would give it back twice. As a result, we really won 43 points in the second game of the Lakers. So, don't underestimate our anger. The Warriors will also double their revenge in the next game against the Grizzlies, so you can look forward to it!"

Durant thought that such a speech was very courageous, but his "passionate" speech did not resonate with the reporters.

The reporters looked at Durant indifferently, as if they were looking at a child who was anxious to escape as soon as possible.

"Oh, let's not care about that for now. Kevin, how do you evaluate Link's 45 points? By the way, I forgot if you didn't remind me. His score today was 22 more than you, almost twice as many points as you."

After listening to the reporter's questions, Durant's mouth twitched twice.

No one present took what he just said seriously!

Durant looked at the gloating reporters in despair and covered his chest.

The humiliation of being dominated by Link is all back.
