1260: I'm the sixth man, you're the MVP

When George and Leonard reunited, Los Angeles fans were clamoring that the NBA was about to usher in the finale.

The ultimate Clippers will trample everything in front of them.

But the Grizzlies told the whole world that the NBA has no finale, and the defending champion has the final say!

As Espn gave grizzlies, they are the kings. It is the others who chase grizzlies, not the grizzlies who chase others.

Just one month after the start of the 19-20 season, the Grizzlies reestablished their kingly status.

Indeed, the Grizzlies' lineup has undergone a major change this summer. The rise of other teams has made the Grizzlies' road to defending the title look full of thorns.

But from defeating the Nets in the opening game to defeating the Clippers, the Grizzlies used a 13-2 record to prove that they are still the strongest team in the league.

After the game against the Clippers, the Grizzlies basically played all the strong teams in the Western Conference this year.

Against the Lakers, Link scored 61 points. Against the Rockets, the Grizzlies won 34 points! Fighting against the Mavericks, Link beats the super genius Doncic.

The Clippers seem to be the only team left in the West that can compete with the Grizzlies. As a result, Link used his unparalleled dominance to solve the strongest forward combination in the league.

After the game, Christine Lacey specially invited Link to the show, hoping that he could participate.

Faced with the invitation from this well-known "beautiful mature woman", most stars would not refuse, but Link refused.

"Since she thinks the Clippers are the champions, then invite her favorite champion members to participate in the show."

Link Safety did not give Laixi face, there was no way. The most famous star in the league was so arrogant.

As for Sam Smith, this old reporter was embarrassed once again.

He finally waited for Link to make a fool of himself, but he never thought that Link could actually complete his final shot in such an incredible way.

Even after experiencing the Jordan era, he felt that it was an incredible kill.

Jordan's ability to shoot strongly is already abnormal, but Sam Smith probably would be in trouble even if Jordan comes.

Link surpassed Michael Jordan, which seemed to be an irreversible situation.

Of course, it was not only Link who became popular after this game, but also Derek Rose, who competed against Lou Williams.

Overnight, Rose's attention seemed to return to the MVP period.

The rose, which has been forgotten in the corner by people, has once again returned to everyone's sight.

Ross' data itself is not bad, but the key is the state he showed on the court, which made people's eyes shine.

His pull-up layup, his change of direction, and his step-back jump shots were so pleasing to the eye, not like a scarred veteran at all.

"If we were to choose the most underrated player of the season, Derek Ross would definitely be in it."

"Give any championship team a sixth man like Ross, their strength will definitely rise to a higher level."

"He is no longer an MVP, but he is still a good player. If Ross can stay healthy, he will definitely be able to show his best personal performance in recent years!"

Rose became popular, just like Link letting people know the grizzly bear again, Rose also letting people know themselves again.

The next day, during the media opening period between the Grizzlies' training, a large number of reporters were preparing to interview Rose.

The youngest MVP in NBA history has been reborn from the ashes. What else is there to be more popular topics than this?

Link also kept observing Rose, returning to the spotlight, and crawling out of hell after struggling from New York, Cleveland and Minneapolis. Rose should be very happy and wanted to say it to people.

However, Ross' reaction surprised Link.

In front of the camera, Rose had no expression on his face and his tone of speaking was also light, which was no different from usual.

He did not complain about the neglect he had encountered in the past, nor did he praise his wonderful performance yesterday.

He was like a hermit who had no desire for fame and popularity, and was indifferent to the sudden gathering of eyes.

"Okay, I'm done. Next, we will continue to train. Thank you for your concern."

After saying a few words, Ross said goodbye to the reporter and returned to the locker room to prepare for a rest.

Link quickly ended the interview. He also returned to the locker room and found that Ross was in the physiotherapy room, wearing headphones and receiving massage from a physiotherapist.

Seeing Link come in, Ross took off his headphones and smiled at Link: "Today, the reporters will let you go so soon?"

"We were driven away by the press officer, otherwise they could stay in the training hall all day." Link shook his head. Link was the busiest person every time the media opened.

"By the way, I saw that you are very popular with reporters today, why don't you talk to them more?" After saying that, Link brought the topic to Ross.

"There is nothing to talk about. I would rather stay with myself than chatting with them."

“Don’t want to hug the spotlight again?”

"Not interested, I have the eyes of everyone. So I also know that those things are not reliable. When they don't need you, you will be kicked away faster than you imagined." At this point, Ross smiled helplessly.

Yes, he was abandoned by the Bulls and traded by the Knicks, and in Cleveland, Rose didn't even stay for a season.

In Minneapolis, even though Ross performed well, no one believed that he could still gain a foothold in this league.

He was abandoned by the whole world and completely abandoned.

So, when the world opens its arms to Ross again, Ross will not hug them again.

"Yes, the spotlight is unreliable, the championship is the most important thing." Link smiled. Ross was far more clear about his love and hate than he thought.

Ross was not a person who likes liveliness, and even at his peak, he didn't care about the spotlight at all.

He has always been a lonely man, walking on the path he pursues alone.

It’s a pity that God joked with him again and again.

But this time, there will be no more jokes.

"Yes, the championship is the most reliable one, thank you, Link, thank you for trusting me. When I was at my worst, you still asked me to join your training camp. When I was at my most confused, you invited me to join the championship team. Every night, I will try my best to assist you like yesterday! I don't need the spotlight, I don't need anyone's attention. I just want to help you win, Link! Of course, I will also help me win by myself. For those who still trust me, I will not disappoint him!"

Ross said, looking down at his hands, he only needs victory now: "I'll be your best sixth man, you do mvp, let's go and win that damn O'Brien Cup together!"

"Haha, is the best sixth person? Thank you so hard, Derek."

"You are, mvp."

Ross and Link smiled similarly. Sometimes it was that simple for men to reach an agreement.

The next day, the Memphis Grizzlies beat the Pacers 126-113 in Indianapolis.

Link is still the most dazzling player in the Grizzlies. He scored 34 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists in the game, giving the Pacers' new core T.J. Warren a good lesson.

Ross did not disappoint everyone and silently helped the team while Link was resting.

In the match against Brogdon in the rotation time, he efficiently scored 17 points and 5 assists, showing a performance that he was completely unafraid of the young man.

The chemistry between MVP and the Sixth Man is growing wildly!

Of course, this MVP combination can do much more than that.
Chapter completed!
