This game was originally a perfect debut for Josh Smith with the Rockets.

But in the end, it became the perfect return battle for Iguodala.

This game was originally a joke to see the starting point of a new hope, but in the end, the Houston Rockets could only be ruthlessly trampled by the Grizzlies' iron hooves.

After Josh Smith broke down in the third quarter, the Grizzlies' plan was officially announced to be successful.

Link pulled the score away, and Iguodala held down the Rockets' bench.

The Grizzlies completed both of the upper and lower parts perfectly.

Iguodala turned the tide and lived up to the team's expectations for him.

The words he said to Link at the Christmas party were all heartfelt words.

In the fourth quarter, the Rockets also launched a fierce counterattack. However, under Link's suppression, the Houstonians were unable to approach the score.

When the live camera shot swept across the face of the joke again, he couldn't even maintain his smirk.

I really can't laugh when I saw the Rockets being beaten like this!

117 to 111, the Memphis Grizzlies defeated the Rockets at home and successfully won the Christmas game!

Link had 32 points, 8 assists and 8 rebounds in the game, plus 3 blocks, making him the well-deserved best in the game.

But after the game, some people focused their attention on Iguodala.

11 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. Iguodala's data seems nothing great at first.

But Josh's performance of 1 of 9 shots in the second half fully reflected Iguodala's value.

This means that after Iguodala returns, the Grizzlies' rule over the league will be stronger!

After this game, the Grizzlies have won the tenth straight win since Link's return.

Half an hour ago, the Warriors, who were also playing the Christmas game, lost to the Clippers with a score of 86 to 100.

In other words, the gap between the Warriors and the Grizzlies has further widened!

The Grizzlies not only regained the throne of the West, but also had a tendency to widen the gap.

The Christmas War failed to stop the Grizzlies from raging, and the entire 2014 period, the Grizzlies would hardly be stopped.

After the game, Rockets coach McHale accepted the interview with a helpless look on his face, "We did not do well in execution. They got more shooting opportunities than us in the last moment, and we did not do well in execution."

McHale said as he shook his head. This game was indeed a huge blow to him.

At first, McHale thought that Josh's signing would greatly improve the Rockets' wing strength.

As a result, Link still penetrated the entire wing.

At first, McHale thought the Rockets could really pass the Grizzlies.

As a result, the Grizzlies came from behind and dominated the entire second half.

Looking at McHale's down-and-out figure, the reporters couldn't bear to continue asking.

Give the other party hope first, and then tear it apart with your own hands.

This approach is much crueler than not giving the other party hope at the beginning.

But McHale is not the most depressing and depressing person today, and it is Adam. A joke.

In the routine interview after the game, the reporters naturally would not let the NBA president who was present in person.

The joke seemed unhappy at first, but after seeing the reporter and the camera, I squeezed out a smile again.

"Mr. Joke, are you still satisfied with the result of this Christmas battle?"

"Of course, I believe the fans are also very satisfied. The Rockets and the Grizzlies played a wonderful game, and the two sides decided the winner almost at the last moment."

On the surface, the president seems to really like today's game. But in fact, his inner voice was, "I'm so satisfied!"

"Before this game, you launched the All-Star voting reform. People say that this reform is to curb Link's excessive vote count, is that true?"

"Of course not. Such reforms are to make All-Star voting fairer, not targeting a player, hehe. Link is a great player, and I believe he can achieve good results no matter what voting rules."

The expression of the joke was already quite stiff. I laughed and said something against my will. Not everyone could do this.

"The last question, do you think the Grizzlies have the potential to create a three-game title this season? If the Grizzlies do, they will be the first small-market team to build a dynasty. Will that affect the league's box office and revenue?"

Hearing this question, the joke took a breath.

The small-season team has won three consecutive championships, leaving the NBA's focus forever in Tennessee and Memphis?

I dare not think about the jokes, this is simply a nightmare for him!

※※※

In NBA history, only three teams have completed the miracle of three consecutive championships.

Among them, two are traditional giants with a long history such as the Celtics and the Lakers. The other is the Chicago Bulls led by the "God".

Boston and Los Angeles are undoubtedly the largest NBA market. Although Chicago is not as good as the previous two places, it is also a big football market.

And because of Jordan and Rose, the Bulls' popularity is not low at all.

Where is the Memphis Grizzlies? They are like a group of outbreakers. After accidentally digging Link's "gold mine", they suddenly become rich.

No one wants to admit their status and identity, and no one believes that a small-market team, a "exiled team" who was forced to move from Canada to Memphis because of their poor performance, could succeed.

But the fact is that they are getting closer to success.

After winning the Christmas game, the Grizzlies scored a 10-game winning streak.

Although it was 6 games less than the Warriors' previous 16-game winning streak, it was enough to cause huge panic.

Just the day after the end of the Christmas war, the NBA officially announced that the reform system of the All-Star voting had been passed.

Starting next season, the NBA All-Star Weekend voting will no longer be entirely subject to fan voting. The media and players will each get 25% of the decision.

The voting result was that 27 teams agreed to pass, and 3 teams rejected it.

Once again, the league changed the existing rules in order to limit a player.

"Damn joke, this rule is purely disgusting." Iguodala looked at the news push on her phone and couldn't help but complain.

"That's right, Link has only won the ticket king for three consecutive years, and there are more people who have won the ticket king than him." Tony Allen, with one eye on his shoulder, did not forget to read the news.

"Who told Link to be a good kid? Hey, Link, what do you think?" Randolph looked up at Link, but Link didn't care about this freshly released news at all.

"What do you think? It doesn't matter. He disgusted me, and I can disgus him. Yesterday's Christmas Eve, the President must have had a very happy life."

Hearing Link say this, the entire locker room burst into laughter.

Now, the alliance has designated them as villains. Since that's the case, let's just turn it over!

Whoever disgustes whom is not sure!

After Christmas, the Grizzlies have two games to play, against the Heat and the Spurs.

Taking advantage of the momentum of Iguodala's return, the Grizzlies won another two-game winning streak.

In the game against the Heat, Bosh was injured and Wade led the team alone was unable to resist.

In the game against the Spurs, Parker, Ginobili and Leonard were all out due to injury, so both sides did not play overtime again.

Link played for 33 minutes, made 10 of 13 shots, made 4 of 5 three-pointers, and scored 30 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists with super high efficiency of 76.9%!

In the end, the Grizzlies also beat the Spurs by 13 points!

After these two games, the Grizzlies' 2014 schedule is over.

Although Link also missed several games in December, he averaged 30 points, 10 rebounds, 9.7 assists per game, which is enough to win the Western Conference Player of the Month in the second month!

Link is only 0.3 assists away, and he averages triple-double in December. This kind of abnormal data is unreasonable if he doesn't take the best of the month.

Harden's 30.6 points, 6.0 rebounds and 7.1 assists are exaggerated enough, but he is like Curry last month.

Although it is excellent enough, Harden is still a little worse than Link.

In a few days, the league official will give Link the best of the month a second time.

The joke was about changing the alliance storefront, but Link was getting more and more popular. After Link won the best of the month in a few days, Xiao Hua would inevitably be disgusted again.

A mere All-Star voting restructuring is not painful at all.
Chapter completed!
