On the night of January 13, the lights of the FedEx stadium came on again. After the San Antonio Spurs the day before yesterday, the Grizzlies have another opponent from Texas, Dallas Mavericks.
Today, the live camera is always on the Grizzlies'' bench from time to time. Because in that group of substitute players, is sitting the Grizzlies'' biggest star - link.
Link appeared on the sidelines in a dark blue casual suit today, and Stevens let link take turns today. Of course, the external rule is because of injury and can not play.
In fact, link is in good health. It''s just that he watched link''s last game too hard. In order to let him rest and protect, Stevens let him take a rest in rotation. However, in order to hide people''s eyes, Stevens left link on the injury list.
Even so, link is still the most watched player in the game today. The camera will give him a close-up whenever he has a chance.
It''s a superstar treat.
Although link didn''t play, grizzlies still controlled the Mavericks at home today. The Mavericks have been really miserable this season. They are only 12-23, and they are going to miss the playoffs.
Missing the playoffs is a big blow to the Mavericks. After all, since Mark Cuban took over the Mavericks in 2000, the Mavericks haven''t been absent in the playoffs. It''s been like this for more than a decade.
It would be a very sad thing for Dallas fans if they were suddenly cut off this year.
But that''s what the NBA is like. No team can stay alive forever. Mavericks this season''s lineup, also does not have what competitiveness.
Dirk Nowitzki, 34.5-year-old "silver corner king", has been unable to reappear his glory two years ago. His average 17.3 points per game this season is the new low since rookie season.
The grizzly old general O.J. Mayo is Kuban''s hope to make the Mavericks rise. Even Dirk has publicly said that he is willing to make way for Mayo.
At the beginning of the season, Mayo did well. But as the season went on, Mayo began to do what he had. Now, 15 points per game, efficiency is not as good as old dirk. As a rookie, average 18.5 points per game. Mayo''s performance this year can still only be described as "disappointing".
Then, who is left of the Mavericks? Carter, 35, Marion, 34, Darren collison, Carman, who is no longer at the top... It''s almost impossible to use this lineup to break out in the West.
So today, even if link doesn''t, grizzly bears have a crush on the calf. Randolph went all out to shoot down a double double with 24 points and 16 rebounds. Two years ago, Dirk beat Randolph out of his temper. Now, Feng Shui turns around.
Conley also played well today, 17 points, 6 assists and 3 rebounds. Although he''s still out of action in the Western Conference this year, Conley is a real player.
People say Josh Smith is the strongest player outside the all star. But in link''s opinion, the title should belong to Conley.
Gasol 14 points, igordala 11 points, link rotation, but Grizzlies in the home 104-83 gap, easy to slaughter cattle.
After the game, Lin Ke, who didn''t play for a minute, became the target of reporters.
"What do you think of your teammates today?"
"Will you be under pressure for a back-to-back clipper tomorrow?"
"Can you hold on to the last game of the 8-day-6-war?"
Lin Ke was speechless, and he was rarely "lazy" for a day, but eventually he could not escape the pursuit of reporters.
But fortunately, at least after link went home, he didn''t have to worry about being harassed by reporters. Because during the day, link has bought his new house in Ariel.
A villa by the lake, which link called "as luxurious as a castle", has become link''s new home.
After seeing Randolph and the real estate manager yesterday, link fell in love with the house.
The house is just by the lake. It''s three stories high. It''s very imposing. Although it''s not as exaggerated as Kobe and Jordan''s mansion, it''s just a villa, but it''s enough for link to build half a basketball court, a gym and a garage that can hold four cars.
The balcony faces Lake eileer. It''s cozy. There are too many rooms. It''s comfortable. The living room is full of French windows, which is extremely big and magnificent!
The backyard near the lake is full of all kinds of plants, and there is a special person to help tidy up. Plus a series of services, such as intercepting strangers, security work, and helping with cleaning, costs 1000 dollars a month for community services.
But link thinks it''s worth it.
Of course, as Randolph said, link also bought a small boat to put in the backyard, ready to go fishing in the lake. Link has seen it. The lake is very clear and the water quality is very good. In summer, it''s OK to go swimming directly. It is said that in summer, the community will hold triathlon competition, and link seems to have found a new way to exercise physical fitness.The only drawback to living in Ariel is that it''s too far from downtown, so you have to drive 40 minutes a day to get to the FedEx stadium. But on the whole, there are still flaws.
In the end, everything was done, and it cost link 800, 000. For most people, it''s astronomical. When link played in the Development League, his salary was only 120000 a year. He couldn''t afford to buy such a house even when he was gray.
But for link now, it''s just a drop in the bucket.
During the day, link has been asked to help himself move. Now go back and check in directly.
Link was very excited at the thought of living in a new home. Now, it looks like a superstar.
As for tomorrow''s race against the Clippers... Chris Paul was injured and the Clippers lost their captain. Although the Grizzlies are eight days and six games, link has been resting for two days.
He believes that tomorrow''s game, there will be no problems.
Although it was winter, link still heard a few bird calls in the morning. When we got to bed together, there was a wide lake of ellier outside the window, and all of us felt refreshed.
The house is equipped with floor heating, so link won''t stay in bed because of the cold. He got up earlier than usual in his new home.
However, because the house is too big, link''s previous furniture is not enough. The whole house looks empty and always feels a little lonely.
Turn on the news, there is a sound at home. Link is frying eggs, listening to the sports news and thinking about tonight''s game.
"ESPN released a forecast ranking of the best defensive players yesterday, with LeBron James number one, grizzly center mark Gasol second, and Tyson Chandler last season third. In fourth place was clipper center Andrew Jordan. LeBron is the only front court player in the first four, while mark Gasol is in the top three for the first time. He has made great progress in defense this season and has become the backbone of the Grizzlies'' best defensive team
After hearing the ESPN news, link was happy for Gasol. Indeed, it''s time for Pau Gasol to let others realize his strength. It''s not link himself who has made such an outstanding record this year.
If Gasol is happy, there are people who are angry.
In the afternoon, link saw that good media were questioning the accuracy of the prediction ranking.
"Mark Gasol? The main center with less than 8 rebounds per game
"It''s funny that mark Gasol is ahead of Tyson Chandler."
"If it wasn''t for the Grizzlies'' system, what would mark Gasol''s defense do?"
"It''s because of link that it''s the fire."
A variety of questions have been introduced, but the most striking one is from clipper center Andrew Jordan.
"Tonight, I will prove that I should be above mark Gasol. I can beat him if I play defense
Then link found that the cheerful mark Gasol had been quiet all afternoon.
Some people are either destroyed in silence.
Or, in silence.
Link only hopes that Pau Gasol belongs to the latter.
