It has been almost a week since the 19-20 season started, and many things that have not been expected have happened in this week.

The teams made their debut after experiencing huge changes in the summer, which greatly satisfied the curiosity of fans.

But no team can be as popular as the Memphis Grizzlies.

Just open a web page or app related to sports news and you will find that at least 8 of the 10 news are related to Grizzlies.

"The Grizzlies are looking to trade Mike Conley, but no one is currently bidding."

"Inevitably falling from the altar? The performance of the Grizzlies was disappointing."

"The winner was decided at the last moment in three consecutive games, and the Grizzlies' dominance has fallen to the bottom."

"It seems that the Grizzlies can beat the Nets in a desperate situation, maybe it's just that they are lucky. Being forced to the last moment by the Nets also means that the Grizzlies do not have overwhelming strength."

The last time the grizzly bear was questioned so much may have to be traced back to six or seven years ago.

At that time, although the Grizzlies had just won the first championship, in people's conventional perception, the Grizzlies still had nothing to do with the word "strong team".

Therefore, most people gave negative answers to whether the Grizzlies can defend the championship.

But after that, the Grizzlies used a series of consecutive championships to block everyone's mouths. The Grizzlies' unquestionable strength made the doubts less and less. Last season, no reporter even dared to say that the Grizzlies were not.

This year, after three games, the Grizzlies have become the target of questioning again and have been sentenced to "death sentence" by fans.

Although the Grizzlies' current record of 2 wins in 3 games is not too bad, for a team that is used to winning streaks of more than ten or twenty consecutive victories at the start of the game, such a record is indeed not excellent.

During the three consecutive championships, the Grizzlies can easily win the playoffs with teams on the edge of the playoffs.

No one thinks that a Grizzlies, who are indistinguishable from teams like the Bulls and Heat, can defeat a group of powerful men in the West to enter the finals.

The best proof that they guess is the game between the Grizzlies and the Lakers on October 29.

If the Lakers win easily, it proves that the Grizzlies are really just paper tigers this season.

But if the Grizzlies win... without this if, many people don't have this option at all.

There are many people who support Grizzlies, and Link's popularity is not something that can be covered after all.

But the praises are never as good as those who slander them.

Was Kobe and James not very popular back then? But they are also full of dark people all over the world.

Instead of analyzing calmly and carefully, most people prefer to swear things directly and roughly.

Under the guidance of public opinion, the Grizzlies seemed to have experienced three consecutive losses at the beginning and were demoted to nothing.

Link was surprised. The Grizzlies only lost one game, so it was necessary to be so exaggerated?

If you lose a game and get a meeting, there will be no team in the league that won't be a meeting.

Link himself is quite satisfied with the Grizzlies' performance in the past three games.

The reason why I played so anxiously in all three games is because they played well.

When playing against the Nets, Irving scored almost 40 points and Durant scored almost 30 points.

Losing to the Heat, the outstanding performance of those three young men is likely to win the game if they encounter any team.

Lavine, who was eager to prove himself, also scored 37 points. Kobe White's 19 points did catch the Grizzlies off guard.

Isn’t it normal for the opponents to play well?

And at the beginning of the season, it was the time when young players were most excited and in their most in full swing.

Now they are physically in good health and ambitious.

But as the season continues, their performance will calm down when they experience the brutal beatings of NBA veterans and their physical fitness is not so abundant.

The Grizzlies just met two teams with outstanding young people at the most inappropriate time.

Link doesn't think it's the Grizzlies losing their dominance, he is still full of confidence in the four consecutive championships.

In Link's opinion, what's falling from the altar is completely fart.

The only real problem exposed by the Grizzlies in these three games is Conley.

Conley's decline in form this season is indeed unexpected.

Whether it is offensive efficiency or defensive efficiency, Conley has experienced a cliff-jumping decline.

In the last game, Conley made 0 of 7 shots and scored 1 point with only free throws in the whole game.

His defense has also changed from being the best defense in the number one position to a big colander that everyone is bullied.

As the best point guard in the league, his performance this season is indeed shocking.

But Link had nothing to complain about.

First of all, Conley is now here after all. At the age of 33, it is naturally impossible for him to remain in his peak state.

It is common for players to decline after 30, but Conley's decline is a little more powerful than others.

Link was actually mentally prepared for this.

Secondly, poor defense ability at No. 1 does not mean that a team has no hope at all.

Curry's defense was not good back then, but this did not prevent the Warriors from becoming the best team in the league to defend.

Is Tony Parker really strong in single defense? No, but the Spurs' team defense covers this fact.

Countless examples have proved that the defense of the No. 1 position is not good, so let players from other positions help with more defense and help wipe their butts.

Although everyone's tasks will be aggravated a lot on the defensive end in the future, this is not a fatal problem that cannot be solved.

As for the decline in scoring efficiency, it would be better to hand over Conley's scoring task evenly to others.

Green, Brooks and Rose are all waiting for the right to fire.

After solving the problem of defense and scoring, Conley can still continue to contribute his strength as the Grizzlies' metronome.

After all, there is no point guard in the league who understands the Memphis Grizzlies better than him. Even with his eyes closed, he can deliver the ball to the most correct person at the most correct time.

Although the Grizzlies' players have changed, their core and system have not changed. Therefore, Conley is still the most suitable number one position for the Grizzlies.

Conley's decline in form did have some impact on the Grizzlies. But from the beginning to the end, Link never thought it was a fatal problem.

From beginning to end, the Grizzlies never thought of trading Conley. The trading rumors about Conley on the market were completely fabricated by reporters.

Conley can still play a huge role for the Grizzlies.

After fighting the Bulls, Jogel gathered everyone to hold a tactical meeting and adjusted Conley's role on both offense and defense.

In fact, it only takes a little adjustment and the problem can be basically solved.

It is not difficult for the Grizzlies to make up for the defensive shortcomings of the No. 1 position.

In the eyes of Link and most Grizzlies, this is just a small ups and downs in a long season.

But people from the outside world have already raised the grizzly bears from the altar...

Link was speechless when he looked at the news and comments online.

I'm still here, tell me that I fell from the altar?

Although it was very unhappy, Link didn't want to squirt with the fans directly.

After all, Link has been trying to be a gentle person.

Although the execution is not very successful...

Seeing that the Grizzlies have been dead and silent these days, Los Angeles fans have completely expanded.

The day before the game, when the Grizzlies arrived in Los Angeles and took a bus to the hotel, the Los Angeles fans on the street raised their signs in their hands and "Welcome to the defending champion".

"The crown belongs to the real king." The content on the sign is very simple, but it reveals pride.

The real king undoubtedly refers to LeBron James and the Crown must be snatched from Link's head!

Looking at the Lakers fans, Link just wanted to laugh.

A few years ago, James was one of the most popular targets for Lakers fans. When Kobe was still alive, James was the archenemy of Los Angeles fans!

Now, I just called James the King. Just like one day, the Memphis fan called King Durant.

It's really faster to change your face than to change the sky.

At this moment, Link received a text message from Kobe's second daughter, Gianna.

"Tonight, my dad and I will go to see your game. Come on, I know, you must have been holding your breath. Let those idiots see who is the king!"

All this text message was written in Chinese, and Jaina's Chinese level has improved as quickly as her football skills over the years.

Link smiled and silently turned off the screen of his phone.

Of course, she can't be disappointed if the number one fan is present.
