Any team in NBA history that has more than one MVP at the same time is generally not easy to mess with.

During the showtime period, there were more than one MVP player in the Lakers team, and they eventually shared the 1980s with Bird.

The last team that had two MVPs at the same time was Cleveland, who had the "Shark King" combination more than ten years ago.

Although the Cavaliers' record was not ideal back then, no one dared to underestimate the pair.

But now, when the two special MVPs, Link and Rose, are combined together, people unexpectedly don't care much.

Link is one of the players who have won the most MVPs in NBA history, while Rose is the youngest MVP in the league.

However, this summer, no one thought that this pair of MVP combination could do something.

But in the last two games, people began to discover the power of these two MVPs.

Link can always dominate the game most of the time during the game, but Rose can always take over such domination when Link rests.

In the Clippers, Link got the strongest forward line in the league, and Rose got the strongest sixth man in the league.

When fighting the Pacers, the two teamed up torture each other so hard that they couldn't find Bei.

Link and Rose seemed to have divided the work in advance, and could always seamlessly complete control of the game.

After two games, the pair of MVP combinations of Link and Rose began to be highly sought after.

If Ross can play well with the Grizzlies and eventually win the championship trophy with Link, the script would be perfect.

Everyone is looking forward to Link and Rose going to the top together.

However, on November 27, the Grizzlies welcomed the Lakers' revenge at home, and this short-term beauty was broken.

In the cruel NBA, there is never perfect.

The Lakers have just recently scored an eight-game winning streak, and their morale is in full swing. The combination of Davis and James is beginning to get better.

Although from paper, the Lakers' lineup is not as deep as the Clippers.

But in terms of performance, the Lakers are even better than the Clippers.

Since the season has played, the Lakers have a record of 14 wins and 3 losses, second only to the Grizzlies, and is one of the best teams in the West.

Although the Lakers were slaughtered by Link for 61 points in the last time the two sides met. Today, the Lakers were not discouraged. They raised the intensity of the confrontation to the playoff level as soon as they came up.

Both sides have been playing very hotly, and Anthony Davis's domination of the Grizzlies' fourth position is still firm.

And Link is still a huge threat to an elderly James.

But this anxious game changed at the end of the fourth quarter.

In the last three minutes of the fourth quarter, Link accidentally stepped on James' instep when he pushed James' layup.

James did not do it on purpose, it was a complete accident.

Link didn't feel anything at the time, but after running two steps, he found that his ankle was a little swollen and painful. Of course, the pain was still within the bearable range.

After Jogel on the sidelines noticed Link's strangeness, he immediately called a timeout to replace Link.

All Memphis fans were in their hearts. If Link was like Leonard a few years ago, the Lakers would not be able to get out of the Federal Express Arena.

Link was also a little surprised when he found out that he was replaced because he felt that he could hold on to the game and that was not a big deal.

Link doesn’t understand Jogel’s heart. What Jogel can’t afford the most is Link’s body.

It is not difficult to understand Jogel's mood by looking at how meticulous Old Rivers next door protects Leonard and George.

Old Rivers knew that George and Leonard were the capital for the Clippers to compete for the championship, and it would not be possible to lose one.

Therefore, as long as Leonard and George feel uncomfortable at all, he will directly suspend their competition and recuperation.

So George and Leonard played the game for the first time a month after the start of the season, and in the following season, they would definitely not appear on the court at the same time.

The same is true for Jogel. He will never allow Link to make any mistakes in the regular season. So, seeing Link staggering just a few steps, he immediately called to stop the game and replace Link.

Although Link was a little confused, he walked off the court as arranged by Jogel.

"I'm fine, boss." Link shrugged. It actually happens from time to time when he lands. It's not that someone else has to deliberately step on the other person's instep.

Also, not every time you encounter such a thing, you will suffer as serious injuries as Leonard.

As for minor injuries such as slight ankle swelling and pain, it is also common.

In fact, the players who can play in each team now have more or less minor injuries. 100% of the totally healthy players only account for a small number.

For example, with the Lakers today, Davis's shoulders have not been healed.

"I know, I know you're not serious." Jogel replied, calling the team doctor to come over to check Link.

"The game is in a state of anxiety now." Link pointed to the big screen. Now there are less than three minutes before the game ends, and the Grizzlies are leading by three points.

"I know, but no matter what, you can't play today."

Jogel's meaning is clear. He would rather lose the game than let Link take risks.

In the past, even if Link was occasionally allowed to take risks, Jogel had to focus on his record.

But now it's different. The Grizzlies no longer need to prove anything in the regular season. They still maintain the league's best regular season record until now.

Therefore, Jogel would rather lose the game than ensure Link's health.

Link curled his lips. He knew what Jogel meant, so he didn't say anything more.

After so many years of relationship with Jogel, the two have always been very harmonious because they respect each other.

Joggle respects Link, who is a superstar and respects his coach.

Besides, Link knew that Jogel was good to him and there was no need to refute him.

But today's game...

After Link got out of the field, the Lakers indeed launched a counterattack.

But to people's surprise, the Grizzlies did not lose all their defeat.

Jokic and Ross led the rest of the Grizzlies to continue fighting with the Lakers, dragging the Lakers into the mud without Link!

It was not until the last 1.2 seconds of the game that James made an emergency stop and mid-range shot on Iguodala's head, which allowed the Lakers to take a point.

Unfortunately, Ross made a three-pointer in the last 1.2 seconds and missed the chance to win. The Lakers took away the victory with great difficulty.

"It's really thrilling. Derek Ross' shooting must have shocked all the Lakers in a cold sweat! It's a pity that the Grizzlies were a little lucky. The Lakers took away their ninth straight win from the Federal Express Arena, and the Lakers' four consecutive wins stopped here."

James and Davis embraced passionately, and they finally defeated the Grizzlies and defeated opponents that even the Clippers could not defeat.

Link shook his head. This game is indeed a pity, but it is not unacceptable.

So, when his teammates came out, Link encouraged them one by one.

"We've done a good job, we've had some luck."

Link brimmed with everyone and hugged.

Ross was the last to get out, he lowered his head, his long dreadlocks blocking his face.

"I missed." Ross said dejectedly as he walked to Link.

"It's okay, it's just a game, you've done a good job."

"What a pity, it's up to you in the end, Link." Ross sighed and walked off the court.

Link didn't care too much. Ross is not the kind of person who gets depressed when he encounters a little setback.

I will definitely feel a little disappointed if I missed the final move just now, but if I give him one night, he will be able to recover and get back on the road.

Link also followed his teammates into the player channel. He just hopes that Joggel will not let himself rest for too long.

Half an hour later, Link attended the post-match press conference with Jogel.

However, at the press conference, Link heard a question that made him angry.

"Link, does the defeat in this game mean that the team relies heavily on you? You scored 61 points in the last game and the Grizzlies defeated the Lakers. Once you are not present, the Grizzlies don't seem to win. If the last ball is replaced by you, the results will be different, right?"

After a loss, the double MVP lineup that had just become popular began to be criticized.
