Utah Jazz this season can be said to be a typical example of high open low walk, the beginning of the season, just completed the introduction of their ambition to overthrow the rule of the Lakers. Their record also goes up all the way, it seems that they really have the ability to challenge the defending champion.


    All this, however, is annihilated in the endless conflict between Deron and Sloan. Now, the Jazz news is that either Sloan wants to quit or Deron wants to be traded. The Jazz team''s record began to decline sharply as the team got confused.


    Today, the jazz has fallen to seventh in the West and is close to eighth in the West. All the Western teams are waiting for the jazz to go out, which means one more place for the playoffs.


    The Memphis Grizzlies and the New Orleans Hornets are undoubtedly the teams that most want the jazz to get out quickly, so that they don''t have to fight for eighth place in the West.


    However, it still needs to play hard, a team can not expect to rely on others to win the playoffs. What if Sloane and Deron suddenly shake hands and go up together?


    So, while expecting the jazz to fall behind, the Hornets and Grizzlies themselves did not relax their vigilance. Although link knows that if history doesn''t shift, then the dissolution of the Jazz team will be inevitable, but others don''t know.


    As a result, the direct confrontation between the eighth and ninth in the West has attracted much attention. The Grizzlies won and will be equal to the Hornets. If the Grizzlies lose, then the Hornets will further open the gap.


    For Grizzlies, it''s a turning point game. Although the season is still very long, the rankings will certainly change. However, the Grizzlies'' morale will be better if they are ranked eighth in the West earlier.


    So today, in the Hornets'' home ice king center, link just stepped into the court to feel what is called the atmosphere of fanaticism.


    Crazy shouting fans, men dancing with their T-shirts off, women waving their long hair and people in all kinds of strange costumes... The particularity of this game makes the fans in New Orleans extremely enthusiastic! It''s like the whole iceberg King Center has become the scene of New Orleans Carnival!


    "It''s crazy. It feels like the playoffs." Randolph looked around, and the big black bear was in a frenzy.


    Link didn''t play with Randolph. From the first second into the field, he had been training with trainer Marcus will in all positions. It''s part of link''s warm-up plan today, and he wants to be able to adapt to the feeling of shooting in the interference ahead of time.


    Because he knows it''s bound to be a tough fight. I''m afraid there will not be easy vacancies today.


    There is no need for the fans to set off the atmosphere. Link is also full of fighting spirit today. After all, just yesterday, he was still gushing from the media.


    Cowall''s 60% three-point shooting rate and the Grizzlies'' loss have pushed link to the forefront of the storm.


    Link from the beginning of self doubt, to anger, to now belligerent, psychological changes are very obvious.


    Tony Allen is right. Keep this anger in your head and shut everyone up!


    What''s more, the Grizzlies'' next match is still the Houston Rockets, which link has been so worried about. Before the game against the Rockets, link doesn''t want his form to plummet.


    "Well, what''s the matter with that boy today? Have you ever seen him so fierce? " Seeing link frowning and training hard, Randolph leaned over to Tony Allen to gossip.


    "Hey, don''t make mistakes today, Zach. Otherwise, that guy might eat you as well Tony Allen gave a meaningful smile. Today''s game will be very, very wonderful.


    "New Orleans Hornet and Memphis grizzly bear, this is undoubtedly a focal battle in the West. The strength of the two sides is very close, so if there is no accident, it should be a game that needs four fierce battles to determine the outcome


    Charles and Kenny at the center are in position. T. NT TV has sent out their ace commentary lineup to show that they attach great importance to the game.


    There are a lot of interesting points in this game. First, the Grizzlies are at the forefront of the storm recently. The fighting and drug banning incidents make the fans full of curiosity about the Grizzlies. Second, Chris Paul of the Hornets is a big star. And there is always no lack of people watching the game with stars.


    Third, and most importantly, T. NT predicted that the game would be very exciting. A wonderful game, not necessarily both sides of the game are heroic. As long as the two sides are close, they can usually play a good game.


    But for Barkley, there is a fourth point of the game - link.


    "I believe you already know that, Kenny. Link now seems to have become an integral part of the Grizzlies, who started when Rudy Gay was injured. Now that O.J. Mayo is banned, coach Hollins has chosen to start him. He is definitely one of the most topical players this year. From the Development League to the NBA, his career trajectory can be said to be ups and downsBefore the game began, Barkley brought the topic to link.


    "Yes, link is a topical player. However, in the last game, his performance was hardly outstanding. So now people are talking about one thing - does link''s strength match his chances? Malcolm bellinelli is also a top scorer. If link''s defense is the same as the last game, I believe bellinelli will not miss the opportunity


    Kenny Smith didn''t feel much about link. He always felt that if it wasn''t for his special skin color, link would not have received so much attention. He is an ordinary NBA player, just because of the skin color and myth.


    The attention he receives does not match his strength.


    "Bellinelli? Believe me, not everyone is as lucky as Cowell Barkley smiles. Can''t someone who can defend Kobe be able to get rid of bellinelli?


    While Kenny Smith and Buckley were talking, the starting players were in place. Although link''s performance in the last game was bombarded by the media, Hollins knew that there was no big problem with link''s defense. So today, he still let link start.


    This is also link in the Grizzlies in the third consecutive game starting, link looked at the opposite half, this period of hornets strength is still very strong.


    Ready to jump with Pau Gasol is Emeka okafu, who is not a superstar but has a tough style.


    Power forward is All-Star David West. Needless to say, he was a great help to Paul George during the Pacers period.


    Small forward, is still young tevor Ariza. Ariza followed the Lakers to win the championship, his price and popularity have been rising all the way, is a very reliable 3D small forward.


    And the number two position, also Lin Ke today''s opponent, is Italian guard belinelli.


    Belinelli''s projection is stable, experienced, and rarely makes mistakes. It can be said that he is a player of the same type as kovar. The last game just was a shooter hit angry, today met another shooter, link already can''t wait.


    Of course, if only these guys, the Hornets can not be the biggest threat to the Grizzlies. The real core of this team is the shortest player in the game - Chris Paul!


    At this time, Paul just came out of the shadow of injury, and his state fluctuated greatly, and his sports ability also had obvious degradation compared with before.


    But even so, he is still one of the strongest point guards in the league. A team with Paul and a team without Paul are two levels.


    Link stares at Paul, who is quite young in appearance. Link can''t help but sigh at the thought of the powerless Paul in the Rockets before crossing over.


    Just as link was staring at Paul, Paul just looked up at link. The murderous air in the guy''s eyes even made link feel cold on his back.


    The last person who could make link uncomfortable with his eyes was Kobe.
