The problems the Grizzlies encountered after losing Randolph and Iguodala were naturally seen by others.

In the NBA, it is never a secret to how a team is in shape. Any problems you expose during the game will be presented in the game video in a variety of ways.

And these problems are likely to become a breakthrough for the other party to defeat themselves.

It is precisely because of this that Dwight Howard is so arrogant. He believes that the Grizzlies can make a fuss in the three-second zone if they lack the inside reserves.

He not only wants to win, but also wants to win with gorgeous data!

What's more, the Grizzlies still play back-to-back away games, which greatly enhances Howard's self-confidence.

Howard, who entered the league as a high school student, is now almost 30 years old. He knows very well that as he grows older and the invasion of injuries, his physical condition is getting worse and worse. He is likely to never be able to find his magical period again, and his peak is likely to end.

He longs for honor and championship, so he wants to seize the victory at the peak. In Howard's view, this year is the best opportunity.

Therefore, Howard is extremely irritable this season. His desire for victory has made his hostility to his opponents reach an unprecedented level.

Not a month after the season started, Howard had clashed with his opponents on the court many times. Among them, there were big players like Garnett and Kobe.

Howard completely changed, and he was no longer the sunny boy from the Orlando period. He became even more violent, dark, and bloodthirsty.

He was never angry before, but now he started to squirt trash at his opponent. He used to laugh, but now he started to push and shovate on the field.

In order to win, even if it is done this, Howard believes that it is understandable.

And this time, Howard drew his anger to Link.

Is there anything that can prove yourself better than defeating the strongest opponent?

The Rockets have won more than five consecutive victories three times in history, and have reached the finals three times. Howard believes that the Rockets can continue this record this year!

As long as you can step on the Grizzlies under your feet, the finals will no longer be a fantasy!

The defending champion will always become the number one target of other teams...

Although the season has just begun, Link still feels extremely tired after a series of away games.

"Zach, get up!" Link opened his eyes and shouted habitually.

"Ah? Zach?" Toby Allen sat up from the bed with a confused look on his face. Only then did Link realize that the one who slept with him today was Tony Allen Randolph who had returned to Memphis for treatment due to injury...

Link shook his head. He was really not used to the days of missing major generals. In the past two seasons, injuries have basically never appeared on the Grizzlies. Even if there are, they are only minor injuries that are missing for two or three games.

This year, all teams in the league suddenly had serious injuries, which is indeed very weird.

However, when thinking of the Thunder and the Pacers, Link instantly felt that the Grizzlies were not miserable. At least the Grizzlies still have the strength to compete for the championship, while the Thunder and the Pacers even hang in the playoffs this year...

After washing up, Link wanted to go to the hotel gym to exercise as usual, but when he walked to the gym door, he was stopped by the hotel security guard.

"Ms. Judy Seito told me that no Grizzlies players should be allowed to enter. So, I'm sorry, Mr. Lin."

"Uh... Grizzlies players can't enter?" Link scratched his head awkwardly. At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps came from behind Link.

"Link, go back and have a good rest! The game is coming tonight. You need to save your energy and relax your muscles." Judy Saito had long guessed that there would be players coming to the gym, so he rushed to the gym when he got up.

The Grizzlies' two consecutive serious injuries have made the entire medical team very nervous. Although injuries in the competitive sports arena are inevitable and unpredictable. However, the entire medical team is still quite self-blame, so they have formulated a series of strict player protection plans.

The most important one is to avoid overwork from players.

Apart from normal training, the medical team does not recommend any extra training for players. Chief team doctor Moon even gave Jogel a suggestion list for players' playing time, hoping to appropriately reduce the playing time of players to play a protective role.

After all, this is just the regular season, so there is no need to fight to lose ammunition and food. No one is available in the regular season, which is better than no one is available in the playoffs.

"I... just want to have a simple morning run." Link curled his lips. He felt that Saito's reaction was too exaggerated.

"That's not OK. Link Zach and Andre are already in the hospital bed, and you don't want to join them either." Saito's attitude was very firm. From now on, she would not allow any more players to be injured.

Link shook his head helplessly and had to return to the hotel room. From now on until he entered the Toyota Center to prepare for the battle, he and everyone else on the Grizzlies could only sit in the room and wait.

"Don't be anxious, Link. It's not bad for you to rest before the back-to-back battle. If you feel bored, you can go to social media to reply to your number one fan Dwight Howard." Tony Allen sat leisurely on the bed and shook his phone at Link. He was not anxious at all.

"Dwight Howard? What did he say?" Link then took out his cell phone and looked at the recent speeches of various stars on social media.

Since the Grizzlies were still in Oklahoma City last night and flew to Houston overnight, Link had no idea what Howard said in an interview.

After Tony Allen's reminder, he went to social media and found out that Howard was so arrogant.

Of course, in addition to Howard, there are many reporters who are more excited than before. Because in the game between the Grizzlies and the Thunder yesterday, they seemed to have seen a crack appearing on the armor of the Grizzlies, the "invincible battleship".

"Will the Memphis Grizzlies with injuries start falling from the altar?"

"The Thunder, without Westbrook and Durant, almost made a comeback, which shows that the Grizzlies' dominance has been greatly reduced!"

"The Grizzlies' good luck is over, and it turns out that even God doesn't want to see the Grizzlies establish dynasty."

And, Dwight Howard's words, "It's time to change the dynasty."

"Well... I didn't expect it to be so lively. If I remember correctly, we won the game last night." Link looked at the media's sarcasm and suspected that his memory was confused.

The Grizzlies not only won, but also won 10 points. Why did they come to social media and the media's mouths and look like they lost the ball?

"Maybe, now we can win 10 points to a narrow victory?" Tony Allen spread his hands. Yesterday's game was indeed quite thrilling, but the result was not bad.

"Interesting, do people in Houston really think winning a six-game winning streak is equivalent to winning the championship? Tonight, they have to see the level of the championship." Link looked at the screen of his mobile phone and found that he could not sit still.

So he entered Howard's social media homepage and left a "friendly" message under the video he was interviewed last night.

"The reason why the Houston Rockets were able to win six consecutive games was because the last San Antonio Spurs had neither Duncan nor Ginobili. Like us, the Rockets defeated almost all the teams in the remnants. The illusion of winning streak made them complacent, but with a complete lineup, they defeated opponents with incomplete lineups, which is not something to be proud of. Houston fans don't worry, we can let the Rockets face reality tonight and let your boys dispel the unrealistic fantasy sooner. By the way, Dwight, your trash talk is really bad."

After Link replied, he lay back on the bed with satisfaction.

"What? Are you willing to rest now?" Tony Allen smiled at Link.

"Well, let's leave your strength until the night to deal with the Rockets. Since they think the 10-point difference is too small, let's make them lose a little worse."

Link closed his eyes after he finished speaking.
