On January 7 and January 8, we played the Suns away first, and then immediately flew to Sacramento to play the Kings. After a day off on the 9th, we played the Warriors away on the 10th, and finally returned to home court, facing the Spurs back to back. The 13th had a second break, and then the 14th and 15th against the Mavericks and the Clippers.

8 days, 6 games. Although this year is not a shrinking season, the Grizzlies still encounter this abnormal schedule.

Three consecutive rounds back-to-back is not only a test of the strength of Grizzlies players, but also an assessment of the physical fitness of the Grizzlies.

In 82 regular season games, it is actually not too much to say. But this unreasonable arrangement is the culprit that caused the players to be injured.

The Grizzlies have been playing this season so far, and the lineup has been very healthy. Therefore, Stevens does not want to see people injured during 8 days and 6 games.

So, the next week is indeed very difficult for the Grizzlies. They must stay healthy while ensuring their winning rate.

Link complained in his heart that he had finally established a relationship with Rachel, but now he was fine. His busy work made him have no time to take care of his girlfriend. The entire Grizzlies team entered a tense state of preparation. In the blink of an eye, the first game of 6 games in 8 days was already here.

In Phoenix, I wonder if the Grizzlies were too nervous and actually got out of the way, and they were so angry that they were blown up by the sun.

"I think even Suns fans didn't expect them to win a victory today. The Grizzlies' offense was very tight today and it was not natural at all. The Suns have lost five consecutive games recently. Unexpectedly, they ended this tragic losing streak record in the powerful Grizzlies."

The local commentator shook his head. The biggest problem for the Grizzlies today is that they are not decisive enough on the offensive end. They want to complete the attack according to tactics, which actually makes the Grizzlies lose many opportunities that have already appeared.

"The Grizzlies' performance is one aspect, and the Suns' performance today is also very good. Five of them scored in double digits, and Scola and Dragic contributed 21 points and 20 points respectively! The explosion of the Sun burned the dozing Grizzlies today."

Link "only" scored 21 points today, and also sent 4 assists and 6 rebounds. But when the Suns team exploded, the Grizzlies still lost a game that shouldn't have lost by 5 points.

The first game of the Devil's schedule lets the Grizzlies players know how difficult this week is. As long as you nap, others will immediately cut your throat with a dagger.

After the game, Link was only able to send two text messages with Rachel, and then followed the team on a journey to Sacramento.

Now, the whole world is watching the game between the Grizzlies and the Kings. After losing to the Suns, the Grizzlies have not been questioned too much. After all, it is inevitable that they will fail in the regular season. If you lose once a game, the media will not be too serious.

But if the Grizzlies lose to the Kings in a row, Link believes that he and his teammates will be flooded by the media in minutes.

It is true that the Grizzlies are now the number one in the league, but one situation that the league must face is that most people are waiting for you to lose, waiting to see your jokes!

Before the game against the Kings began, Stevens told everyone, "Let your pressure go, don't think so much! The Kings are just the bottom team in the West, and their management wishes the team lost a few more games! As long as we perform normally, we will get a day off! Hold on, and the Devil's schedule will almost end one-third!"

Stevens' "chicken soup" played a role, and the Grizzlies players did absorb "nutrition".

In the game against the Kings, the Grizzlies played so much that the reporters who were ready to squirt were disappointed.

This game, if you use a word Charles Barkley used when he explained this game, is massacre!

In the whole game, the Grizzlies restricted the Kings' shooting percentage by only 36.8%, forcing the Kings to make only 5 of 21 three-pointers.

On the other hand, the Grizzlies themselves shot 55% of the three-point shooting percentage and the overall shooting percentage was 48.8%. Nick Young got another draw today, making 10 of 11 shots in the game, 6 of 7 three-pointers! In just 26 minutes of appearance, they scored the highest 26 points in the game with incredible efficiency!

After the game, Nick Young was directly carried by Randolph. If you don’t know, you thought he was the Grizzlies’ top player now.

The same thing, if you are strong, I, Nick Yang.

However, this is exactly the value of players like Nick Young. Occasionally, he can perform such an incredible performance even if he is worthy of his contract.

113 to 81, the Kings were so beaten that they wanted to withdraw from the game. Kings coach Kees Smart probably was wondering why the solar energy encountered a bad thing, and only the blood was left when the Kings came to the Kings.

Due to Nick Young's relationship, Link only scored 17 points today, grabbed 7 rebounds and sent 5 assists. However, as long as the Grizzlies win the ball, his personal data is slightly lower than usual, which is not unacceptable.

After the game, Link and Cousins ​​had a short chat and had to leave Sacramento.

Although there was no match the next day, the Grizzlies players could not relax. They will say goodbye to Sacramento early tomorrow morning and take a flight to the Bay Area.

In the game against the Warriors, the Grizzlies played much harder than the last one. After all, the Warriors and the Kings are not at the same level.

At the beginning of the season, people were not optimistic about the Warriors who lost Ellis. However, now, the Warriors are firmly in the top six in the Eastern Conference with a record of 22 wins and 11 losses.

In this game, the Warriors kept biting the Grizzlies until the end. Today is the first time that the Grizzlies encountered the "elevator door tactic" that was banned by the league in the future.

Relying on Mark Jackson's elevator door, Curry and Thompson made a splash today. One 24 points and the other 20 points, the power of the Splash Brothers has been initially revealed. Link was blocked by Boggart and David Lee who acted as the elevator door several times, and could only watch Thompson easily shoot.

Fortunately, the league's first place finally relied on a more stable attack and won in the Bay Area without any danger. 94 to 88, the Grizzlies almost made a second defeat.

Today, the Grizzlies' offense brought the word "equality" to the extreme. The team has 30 assists, and there are three players with more than 5 assists alone. Link has 6 assists, Conley has 6 assists, and Gasol Jr. has also scored 5 assists.

Under such an offense, the Grizzlies played very efficiently and also performed in double digits with 5 players. But the disadvantage of this game is that the scores of a single player will not be too high.

So, after continuing the 17 points in the last game, Link scored again today without 20.18 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists. Link's data cannot be said to be bad, but compared with the explosive data in December, it seems that something is worse.

Popovich watched the game throughout today, and he admired the Grizzlies' team attack very much. But Popovich was not here to watch the Grizzlies, but to find a way to defeat the Grizzlies.

In Popovich's view, the Grizzlies' team attack was a compromise made by Stevens to save players' physical strength.

If you share the offensive pressure, a single player doesn't have to work so hard to score. After all, this is the third game the Grizzlies have played in four days, so it is definitely fake if they are not tired.

Since that's the case, then Popovich will prescribe the right medicine!

In the next game, he decided to strictly implement man-to-man defense! Let Link fight Leonard head-on, block his passing route, and force Link to score in the most difficult way.

After playing like this, Popovich believes that in the second half of the game, when Link is exhausted and the rest of the Grizzlies can't open it, the Spurs will be able to do whatever they want.

The Federal Express Arena is destined to be unable to be captured? Popovich doesn’t believe this evil!
Chapter completed!
