A year ago, on January 2, the defending champion Lakers, who were still in full swing, encountered the difficult Memphis Grizzlies.

That was the first time Kobe had fought with Link, and the first time he felt the magic of the undraft.

At that time, Link came on as a substitute, scoring 13 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, helping the Grizzlies win a big victory. Although Link's data is not amazing now, Kobe was already surprised by Link's ability at that time. After all, he was just a undraft. Moreover, it was a undraft that was just abandoned by the Rockets.

Afterwards, the time came on February 7. This time, the Lakers successfully took revenge and beat the Grizzlies. However, Link scored 18 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists. In just one month, he improved more than the last time!

Then, it was January 8 this year. At this time, Kobe was already quite familiar with Link, and Link became the new darling of the entire league. He not only led the Grizzlies to win the Lakers, but also scored 17 points, 8 assists and 6 rebounds at the same time.

Kobe was delighted by Link's progress, and he believed that all those who worked hard deserved the reward.

But no matter which game in these games, Link's performance and data did not surpass Kobe. Link surpassed Kobe? This sounds like a magical thing that can't be more magical. In front of Kobe, being able to score more than ten points and being able to perform omnipotently seems to be a victory. As long as he can do these things, the media will use praise without hesitation.

But surpassing Kobe? The media and fans do not want to. In their opinion, against players like Kobe, if they are not beaten, they will win. Moreover, Link has been making continuous progress, and every time he faces Kobe, he is gradually getting better.

As a result, just over two months later today, on March 12, Link scored 38 points, 12 assists, 6 rebounds and 1 blocked. Without any warning, Link defeated Kobe from data to performance! He was no longer satisfied with progress in progress, but suddenly took a big step forward, scaring everyone!

From the time Kobe first met Link to today, in just one year and two months, the 0th day had undergone earth-shaking changes.

Kobe felt heartbroken when he thought of this. He witnessed Link's growth, but it can also be said that he became the background board for Link's growth.

"The Lakers may have to give up the game. Sure enough, Mike Brown replaced Kobe Bryant. He doesn't want Kobe to take risks anymore. The schedule of the regular season this year is very intensive, and avoiding injuries is the most beneficial way for long-term goals. But the game ends in this way, Kobe must be very unwilling to accept it."

Hubby Brown said, wiping his sweat. When Kobe walked off the court, Brown felt relieved. The war finally ended, and the most important thing was that the Grizzlies became the winner.

For Grizzlies fans, this is undoubtedly a happy ending. After Guy was injured, the Grizzlies still successfully avoided losing streak. Link also gave Grizzlies fans a reassurance with his outstanding performance.

Now, everyone believes that the Grizzlies will not die due to injuries, nor will they be ruined because of Randolph's decline in form.

Because, they have Link.

Seeing Kobe's end, Hollins also took Link down. When Link walked off the court, all the fans stood up and applauded Link.

Seeing this scene, Kobe, sitting on the bench, couldn't help but sigh that the Grizzlies finally welcomed their true soul figure.

This team will no longer be confused from now on.

"I did a pretty job, and I knew I could trust you."

"What am I talking about? As long as you untied the shackles, you can fight better!"

"You are so handsome today! Do you believe it or not? The ball you beat Bynum in the second quarter will be played continuously on TV for a month!"

On the bench, Link was praised by his teammates, and he hugged his teammates very casually, completely losing the ruthlessness he had just on the court.

This guy put away his desire to win and hid it in his heart. But I believe that from now on, there will be no one else who dares to easily release the "demon" in his heart.

In the end, the Lakers lost 106-116 away. As long as the Grizzlies scored more than 110 points in a single game, it means that this game is unusual. Today, people know what the game is unusual.

Link's 38 points and 12 assists were really eye-catching! This is the second highest score Link has ever won this season after continuing to play against the Bulls.

Kobe was speechless. This was the second time this season, and he had a Chinese scored nearly 40 points, and both of them were named Lin.

They are worthy of being two guys who can appear on Time magazine.

After the game, reporters couldn't wait to pour into the stadium. Bynum, Kobe and Link became the three most popular players today.

Bynum obviously doesn't want to be so "popular". He just wants to go back to the locker room to hide. Although he scored a large double-double of 24 points and 16 rebounds, Bynum would not think he performed well today.

There was no way, who made him sit directly on the ground in the second quarter, and his mentality was broken later. These two points were enough to make his big double-double today dull.

"Shake it down? No, it's just that the ground is too slippery, I just slipped."

"What? You saw my ankle twisting? No, no, what is the ankle terminator, nonsense."

"I'll say it again, I'm not shaking, I just slipped!"

Bynum kept defending himself during an interview, but everyone could actually see whether he slipped or shook. The more he defended, the more the reporters loved him to make him foolishly.

On the other hand, Kobe's mood is much more stable. But there is no doubt that he can only serve as a foil for Link today.

"I have said a long time ago that Link has the ability to carry a team. But unfortunately, the Lakers did not become Link's suffering."

"Yes, Link played very well today. His back-to-body skills are very mature. He made the mid-range shot with cross-step and his level is even more in the top three in the league. I don't deny his excellence, but I'm still disappointed with the loss."

"We'll win more games, and today's defeat hit us a big blow, but it's not the end of the world."

Kobe was calm on the surface, but his words revealed a feeling of unwillingness. He originally wanted to regain the revenge of losing in the All-Star training singles in the official game. Unexpectedly, Link won even bigger today.

With Kobe's personality, just thinking about it can tell how frustrating he is.

However, although Kobe is competitive, he also agrees with the strong. He may be one of the few players who can't help but smile after being blocked or scored by a star with good relationships.

So after the game, Kobe still hugged Link friendly and patted Link on the shoulder meaningfully.

To some fans, this is just a politeness. But in Huby Brown's view, it seems to herald the beginning of the league's renewal.

Pierce, Ray Allen, Garnett, Kobe, Nowitzki, GDP, and Nash, who have been in the league for more than ten years, have gradually withdrawn from the ranks of top stars. Players such as James, Wade and others have begun to dominate the league.

And Link and the others took the position of James and the others.

The situation in this alliance may change dramatically in recent years. Today is just a reflection of this big trend.

I just don’t know what role the Memphis Grizzlies will play in the league in the future.

Can they become rulers or challengers?

At the same time, in the luxurious box at the Federal Express Arena, the already gray-haired Grizzlies owner Michael Hayesley also made a difficult decision.
