Before the Christmas game, photos of Grizzlies' players gathering were posted on social media by Gasol.

For a time, they became computer wallpapers for countless Memphis people.

Link and the others' photos are indeed very different from those of the players in the ordinary sense. The "bandit spirit" revealed by the Grizzlies is very consistent with the team's villain temperament.

In fact, this photo is full of bandits and is not just because everyone is wearing suits and holding cigars, nor is it just because of black and white filters.

But because the group of people who took the photos didn't look like good people.

Needless to say, Randolph has never been involved in the word "good guy".

Old Carter, who holds cigars in both hands, also looks somewhat like an "old society".

Even Delavidova, who wore a pair of sunglasses, looked like a mafia. Of course, he was more like a bodyguard next to the boss.

Not to mention Link sitting in the middle, the "No. 1 in the league" selected by espn is really unstoppable. If he doesn't have a bit of villain temperament, he will really not be able to suppress this title.

What's more, there is a footnote to "Memphis Gang" at the bottom of this photo. Those who don't know about it thought it was stills of a movie called "Memphis Gang".

This photo is very popular among fans, not only in Memphis, but has caused crazy reprints around the world.

Fans even called it "the most classic photo in the history of the Grizzlies."

However, the league certainly doesn't like this kind of photo full of "negative images". The Grizzlies and Link are now like the most naughty kid in the same class.

But the most annoying thing is that this naughty child has the best grades...

It is really not easy for this "class teacher" to punish him.

Now, after the Christmas party, the Grizzlies immediately won another victory.

On December 23, the Grizzlies faced the Utah Jazz, who are currently 8 wins and 20 losses at home.

After three quarters of not too fierce fighting, the Grizzlies easily brought the Jazz closer to the No. 1 pick.

The Jazz's lineup has actually begun to take shape, with powerful players such as Hayward, Gobert, Ingles, Hood, and Favors in the team.

But if this lineup wants to exert its power, it may have to grow for a few more years.

Faced with the Jazz who had not yet grown up, the Grizzlies players were very comfortable even though they had just attended the party last night. They decided the winner in just over three quarters.

Link got off the court after half of the three quarters. His data at that time was 24 points, 5 rebounds, and 6 assists.

If there is only one or two data apart from triple-double, Link may really go up and brush it up.

But when the data was much worse, Link gave up the idea of ​​brushing data in garbage time.

He is not Ricky Davis, and he has more opportunities to get a triple-double in the future.

Besides, Link is now the first in the league in the record of consecutive triple-doubles, so there is no need to stubbornly hold on.

Therefore, Link's record of consecutive triple-double was officially interrupted in this game, and it was frozen in 10 games.

But even so, it is considered a record that is almost impossible to break.

Unless a data brush like Chamberlain appears in the future, or Link himself breaks the record.

Otherwise, this record will likely be kept sealed.

Although Link's consecutive triple-double record was interrupted, people do not think that the days when Link ravaged the league would end.

After the Grizzlies defeated the Jazz, they have achieved the longest nine-game winning streak!

And because of the same day, the Golden State Warriors also lost to the Los Angeles Lakers.

In other words, the Grizzlies were able to return to the throne of the West after nearly a month!

He has done all the promises that Link made when he came back

Not only did he lead the team to win the Warriors, he also quickly regained the No. 1 in the Western Conference. During this period, he also broke so many records.

The magic of the Warriors became eclipsed in front of the Grizzlies. Since Link came back, the Grizzlies have not lost the ball, as if there is no one in the league to stop the Grizzlies.

Now, the whole world's eyes are on the Houston Rockets.

In the Christmas battle, they were the only hope to stop the Grizzlies from winning 10 straight and continuing to rage.

※※※

When talking about the Houston Rockets, people will think of Link's single game 63 points like a god descending to earth.

If you want to select the biggest background board so far this season, the Rockets are definitely the champion. Because when it comes to the Rockets, Harden, Howard and McHale, they all have to rank behind Link's 63 points.

So many people have forgotten that the Rockets and Grizzlies have played so far this season, and the total score is actually 1-1. Both sides have beaten each other once and have not shown a one-sided trend.

But the Rockets won the game, Link didn't play.

But this does not mean that the Rockets can't beat the Grizzlies with Link. After all, they are one of the few teams in the league that have lost more than double-digit games.

Until now, the Rockets' record is 20 wins and 7 losses, second only to the Grizzlies and Warriors, ranking third in the West.

After the early stages of the season, the Rockets began to gradually make efforts. In December, they launched a six-game winning streak and found their own way to win.

Howard became more and more blue-collar, while James Harden gained more fire rights.

Under such circumstances, Harden lived up to expectations and played super-giant data.

Since December, Harden has averaged 30.6 points, 6.0 rebounds and 7.1 assists per game.

He and Curry are the biggest obstacles to Link's successive month-best path this month.

Harden, who was in a super giant state and Link, who fought all over the world after his comeback, are completely worthy of a stage like the Christmas battle.

Of course, the Rockets also know that it is difficult for the Rockets to compete with Link alone by Harden.

Link scored 63 points because the Rockets' forward line was too weak, and almost no one was available except Ariza.

So poor Zaza was beaten up by Link.

Houstonians are very clear that if they really want to make a difference this season, they must improve their roster level against the Grizzlies.

So the day before the Christmas game began, on Christmas Eve, the Houston Rockets suddenly announced a surprise news.

"Josh Smith, who was just cut by the Detroit Pistons on December 23, received a one-year contract from the Rockets. Both sides signed a lightning contract, and McHale said that Josh will make a direct appearance in the Christmas battle the next day!"

As soon as this news came out, the Christmas battle between the Grizzlies and the Rockets seemed to have another highlight!

After signing a big contract with Detroit, Josh did not make the right value. Finally, Van Gundy could no longer bear it and directly cut Josh, who had two years left to contract worth 26 million.

The remaining salary of his penis will be paid in installments for five years.

Although Josh has proven to be unable to be a good star in the Pistons and cannot be a good leader, the Rockets are more than enough to sign him to play a substitute!

After all, just a year or two ago, Josh was considered one of the best small forwards in the league.

Now that the Rockets have won Josh, they have undoubtedly greatly supplemented their combat power, especially the combat power of the flanks!

McHale wanted Josh to appear so soon, and it was obviously to deal with Link!

It was at this critical moment that Tony Allen had just been exposed to a right cornea abrasion during training.

That is to say, the Grizzlies will miss a strong substitute wing in the next game.

Ariza and Josh joined forces, coupled with Tony Allen's accidental injury, all of these factors seem to really solve the Rockets' wing problem perfectly.

The Rockets' victory over the Grizzlies who owned Link seems to be no longer a low probability event.

League President Adam. Joke immediately announced that he would visit the Federal Express Arena on Christmas Day to watch the game between the Grizzlies and the Rockets.
Chapter completed!
