After the Grizzlies won seven games in a row, link regained the first place in the MVP rankings.
Link still remembers that when he was first on the MVP list for the first time in his career, the world was questioning him and saying he was not worthy.
But this time, few people jumped out and said that link was unworthy.
If link doesn''t deserve it, no one in the league is worthy of the position.
This time, the reason why ESPN ranked link first is very simple.
"Winning is the goal of a basketball game, three pairs is not."
Obviously, Westbrook averaged three doubles per game, and fell behind in a series of games with high gold content led by link.
What''s more, Westbrook''s two games with link proved that his triple double does not necessarily bring victory to the team.
Thunder''s current record of 25-19 is not satisfying.
It has become more and more obvious that Westbrook deliberately brushes three pairs.
So, no doubt, link regained the first place in MVP!
Although this is only the list drawn up by ESPN, it does not represent the final result of MVP selection.
But being able to stay ahead of the list undoubtedly proves that link is now the closest person to MVP.
Link''s return to the top of the MVP list is a popular hope. Even warriors fans can''t find link''s fault.
We should have achievements in war and data in data. Even in terms of his personal performance against other superstars, link still dominates.
Westbrook is not willing to, so far in his career, he has not won a regular season MVP.
How can you prove that you are better than Durant if you don''t get the regular season MVP?
But unfortunately, Westbrook''s opponent is too strong. Even three doubles per field does not shake link''s position.
While fans around the world are cheering for link''s return to the top of the MVP charts, link has no time to be happy.
On the night after the fight with the knights on the 20th, the Grizzlies flew nonstop to Toronto.
On the 21st, they will play a back-to-back game with raptors in Toronto.
As it is winter, the temperature in Toronto is frighteningly low.
In the middle of the night, from the airport to the hotel, it has to go through several changes from air-conditioned to air-conditioned.
The frequent alternation of heat and cold is really a torment.
So, the next morning. As link returned to No. 1 in the MVP rankings, chief team doctor Maun also told the team: "link has a high fever and may miss tonight''s game."
"It''s a damn schedule. It''s good that the others are OK." Joel shook his head when he heard the news.
From Memphis to Toronto, it''s a two and a half hour journey, 1280 kilometers.
He couldn''t figure out why the League should arrange such a long-distance back-to-back competition. Moreover, there are two places with great temperature difference.
In fact, from a basketball point of view, back-to-back games really don''t make any sense.
But NBA has always been a Business League. In order to enrich the schedule and harvest more US dollars, back-to-back games have become a common practice.
To put it bluntly, the back-to-back game is not for basketball, but for business value. As a result, players will definitely feel uncomfortable playing back-to-back.
"In fact... We have a couple of players who have a cold, but we haven''t got a fever. So strictly speaking, other people have business. I think you have some colds, too, Dave
Munn turned his mouth. Although it was just a common cold, it was quite distressing to see so many people hit.
Joel touched his nose, which was flushed with paper, and grinned sheepishly. "I can''t help it. It''s really cold in Toronto."
As for link, he also agreed to a truce tonight.
With a high fever and a weak body, link felt that it was more difficult than the cleft clavicle.
Although the bone crack is painful, it can make the strength at least, and the tolerance will pass.
But now link even up to pick up a glass of water is too troublesome, all over soft!
Besides, it''s just a regular season, and the Toronto Raptors and Grizzlies are not enemies. So it doesn''t matter if you miss one.
Link came out with an injury after a bone fracture because he was in the playoffs and couldn''t help it.
But in fact, link is still very important to this season''s regular season.
He wanted to challenge his 74 win record again.
This year, the Grizzlies are in good shape and the lineup is perfect, which is the best chance to challenge the record.
But it has to be said that this is a very hard record to break.
74 wins, which means the Grizzlies only lose eight games a season.
The Grizzlies have lost four games this season.In the next three months, I lost less than four games, which is a fantastic thing to say.
But... What''s the need to break something that''s easy?
It''s not easy to surpass a guy like Jordan and become the No.1 basketball star in history?
Jordan''s promotion of the entire league and the spread of basketball, is the modern player in any case can not be compared.
Therefore, if you really want to surpass Jordan, you have to play better than him and make up for the lack of historical position with the achievements.
Jordan only won 72 once. OK, I''ll take it twice, three times!
Before that, link has won 70 and 74, but that''s not enough.
If he can lead the Grizzlies to win 70 + Games three times, he believes that the distance between himself and Jordan will be closer.
Of course, it has to be based on the health of your teammates and yourself.
If everyone is tired, link also requires everyone to break the record and cause injuries, which is certainly not worth the loss.
Link won''t lose the championship for the regular season.
So today''s game, link can only wait and see.
Naturally, it''s the best that the team-mates can take the Raptors, but if the others can''t make a decision...
link will have to decide whether to play or not.
So, although he agreed to a truce tonight, link still told Joel not to put himself on the injury list.
From now on, every victory is very important for link.
De rozan and Lori sat in the dressing room without saying a word.
The Toronto Raptors have lost four games in a row recently, and their record has become 28-17. They have been overtaken by Boston Celtics and dropped to second place in the East.
This is what Raptors don''t want to see.
Regular season division 1? That''s not the real goal of raptors.
The reason they want to be number one in the East is that they don''t want to meet the Cavaliers early in the playoffs.
James''s rule in the East has left all teams desperate. Every promising Eastern team wants to avoid the Cavaliers in the playoffs as much as possible.
If the knight was killed ahead of time, it would be a great joy.
And if the Cavaliers finally make it to the division finals, they have the chance to compete with the Cavaliers for the finals.
And the only way to avoid knights is to get the East first!
Whether it is the second or third, it is inevitable to meet the knight in the second round.
James is not very keen on winning the regular season, but he will make sure the team is in the top three.
Therefore, only to get the East first, to ensure that before the division finals do not meet the Cavaliers.
Of course, division four and five can also avoid meeting the Cavaliers in the second round. But besides putting on bad teams, who is willing to lose on purpose?
And if the loss of this degree is not sure, it can be completely overturned.
The situation is very serious for the Raptors. They want to go as far as possible in the playoffs this season. The first ranking in the East is the basic condition.
And the four consecutive defeats that just passed gave them a blow in the head.
So as the two leading Raptors stars, Lori and Derozan are under great pressure.
If they lose to Grizzlies again today, they will lose in a row for five!
Just then Lori suddenly raised his head and looked at drozan, a little excited. "There''s a chance, DeMar! According to the news, link may miss the game because of his fever
Hearing what Lori said, drotsan raised his head slightly and clenched his fists.
