Western Player of the Month, it seems that the value of this honor is not particularly high. After all, there are 6 opportunities to become the Player of the Month in a season. And the opportunity to become an MVP or be selected for the Best Team is only once in a season.

But it seems that there is no great award. The Grizzlies have never won any player before Randolph.

Sean Bathir has never been the best in his career so far. A little longer goes back to the Grizzlies' period in Vancouver. The Grizzlies' first star in the true sense, Sharif Abdu Rahim, has never scored the honor of being the best player in the month. Paul Gasol won the best player in the West, but Gasol was already a member of the Purple and Gold Army at that time.

Therefore, the previous season, Zach Randolph won not only the best honor of his first career, but also the first Grizzlies player to receive this honor.

After all, there are too many "monsters" in the West, and it is not easy to stand out among so many birds and beasts. Although there are six opportunities in a season, it seems that there are many. But with more NBAs in various fields, this opportunity is not enough.

Moreover, the Grizzlies have always been a team without big-name stars.

It only took 16 years to start the team to usher in the first month's best player in team history. The Grizzlies are really struggling in this regard.

But now, just a year later, the second Grizzlies player to win the best of the month is here.

As the media predicted, Link will lead the Memphis Grizzlies to do a lot of things they have never done before. Link's appearance has allowed the Grizzlies to improve several times faster than before.

"It deserves it. With his personal data very well played, Link also led the Grizzlies to have extremely outstanding results. At least in November, he is indeed the best player in the West."

"Link won the game in a head-on battle with James, Durant, Anthony and Kobe, and others. So, he won the best of the month, and I think no one would feel it was wrong."

"Link and the Grizzlies have already walked on a highway this season, and believe me, they will set more records for the rest of this season."

Randolph looked at the news about Link on his phone and sighed earnestly, "Hey, I finally have someone to succeed. I haven't wasted my good intentions."

"Puff!" Link, who was changing his jerseys, was almost choked to death by Gatorade. The shamelessness of the Big Black Bear is increasing! Some successors have made it happen!

"Good intentions? What are your good intentions? Are you good intentions for his girlfriend's affairs?" Tony Allen on the side couldn't stand it anymore. Randolph's most active thing every day was to guess whether Rachel and Link had a scoundrel.

"That's right, it seems that you stayed here every day to practice with me. Speaking of which, you are about to have a second son, and you are not planning to marry your girlfriend." Link was a little confused about Lao Hei's concept. In their opinion, getting married after a husband and child is a routine operation.

Many NBA stars are like this, and there are even those who don’t plan to get married and have a bunch of children to put them on first, such as the man who once could only exchange James.

"Me? I'm not ready yet, after all, I'm still young."

Link and Tony Allen unified Randolph and made their middle fingers, and everyone laughed.

The Grizzlies' locker room atmosphere is very relaxing. After all, since the beginning of the season, the Grizzlies can be said to have been completely smooth sailing. From team record to personal honors, they are all the best in history.

But soon, in San Antonio, the Grizzlies suffered their first blow after December.

On December 2, in San Antonio, the Spurs played very hard. It seemed to be to make Link's new best of the month, Duncan and Parker completely played a rebirth.

"French retro sports car" Parker scored 30 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists in the game, and "No. 21 rookie" Duncan scored 27 points and 15 rebounds and double-double in large numbers. The unexpected outbreak of these two guys made the Grizzlies eventually lose their first match in December by 4 points.

99-95, the Spurs ended the Grizzlies' four-game winning streak at home.

When Stevens was interviewed by reporters after the game, he kept shaking his head. This was perhaps the most frustrating game he had played since coaching the Grizzlies.

After all, it was a pity to lose this game. Because the Grizzlies did not play badly, the Spurs performed too well, and they were better than they were in normal condition.

The Grizzlies also scored in double digits today. Link still scored 20 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists under the death of Leonard. In addition, Conley also sent 18 points and 12 assists, and Randolph had 17 points and 12 rebounds.

It is the most uncomfortable to perform so well and lose without losing.

"We have done a great job. As long as we can continue to maintain this state, I believe we can get out of the shadow of failure soon." In the end, Stevens left only this sentence, and regretfully turned around and left the Att Center, ending his first showdown with Popovich.

Although the defeat in this game is a pity, it also reminds the Grizzlies players that it is not that easy to win a championship banner in the West.

No matter how good your current record is, don’t feel stable.

And Stevens is also very clear that if he cannot find a solution to the Spurs in the regular season, it would be a dream to rush out of the West.

However, although he lost the ball, the Grizzlies still ranked first in the league with a record of 13 wins and 2 losses.

It seems that this is an ordinary defeat, and any team will lose in the regular season, not to mention that the Grizzlies lost to a strong opponent like the Spurs.

But in some people's opinion, the Grizzlies' defeat in this game is not that simple.

"I've never been an All-Star, but maybe, can I beat Player of the Month?"

This simple passage appeared on the social media of the Hawks' striker Josh Smith. Later, it was reprinted crazily by the media and became popular on the Internet.

"It seems you have a new enemy?" Sitting on the team bus to the airport, Randolph looked at his phone and stood up disdainfully and smiled.

"Josh Smith has always been a trash talker, so he doesn't have to pay attention to him. Every time he competes with him, he can nag all night." Iguodala, who once played for the 76ers and had to fight the Hawks four times a season, waved his hand. He really knew Josh Smith's character very well.

Hawks center Al Horford said in an interview that "Josh has too much trash talk in the game."

Link didn't care too much, after all, the Grizzlies' opponent in the next game is the Hawks. Today, the Grizzlies lost the ball, and the opponent took the opportunity to mock the influence of their mentality, which is normal.

This is NBA, and the players are willing to do anything for victory.

But thinking of this, Link checked the Hawks' recent record. If he didn't check, he wouldn't know. After checking, he found that Josh Smith was so tempered, but there was a reason.

"Uh, I think Josh may not be a joke with me." Link curled his lips.

The Hawks' current record is 11 wins and 5 losses, third in the East! Second only to the two popular teams of the Heat and the Knicks. Moreover, since November 16, the Hawks have never lost the ball, and now it has won 7 consecutive games! Compared to the Grizzlies' nine consecutive wins at the start of this season, there are only 2 games missing.

During this period, the Hawks even defeated the Clippers and the Nuggets. After Joe Johnson left, the Hawks seemed to play even better.

Josh Smith has never been selected as an All-Star and is called "the strongest player outside the All-Star". I believe this season, Josh wants to take advantage of the opportunity to become the only offensive core and attack the All-Star lineup.

If you can defeat Link, you will definitely leave a deep impression on people.

People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. Before Durant, Josh Smith was already a little unable to hold on and wanted to challenge Link's Player of the Month.

Does Link want to be face-saving? Losing to Old Dengtou and the Sports Car was a feud between me and the Spurs. Duncan and others were able to perform so well because of the fact that there were some historical problems left over from the Spurs and the Grizzlies.

After all, the Spurs have been eliminated by the Grizzlies for two consecutive years, and it is normal to be excited to meet the Grizzlies.

But where can you, a forward who plays in the East, come to join in?

After all, I have only been the best for a month. Is it okay to give some respect?
