On January 2, a year ago, the defending champion at the height of the sun met the tough Memphis Grizzlies.

It was Kobe's first encounter with link, the first time he felt the magic of the drop off draft.

At that time, link came on the bench, took 13 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, helping the Grizzlies to win. While link's numbers are not surprising at the moment, at the time, Kobe was already surprised by link's ability. After all, he's just a dropout. Besides, it's just been abandoned by the Rockets.

After that, time came to February 7. This time, the Los Angeles team succeeded in revenge and won the Grizzlies. But link took out 18 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists, only one month, he was more improved than the last time!

And then, on January 8, this year. At this time, Kobe has been quite familiar with link, and link has become the new favorite of the league. He not only led the Grizzlies to win the Lakers, but also scored 17 points, 8 assists and 6 rebounds.

Kobe is pleased with link's progress and believes that all those who work hard deserve to be rewarded.

But no matter which one of these games, link's performance and data did not surpass Kobe. Link surpasses Kobe? It sounds like a magic thing that can't be more magical. In front of Kobe, link can get more than 10 points, can show all-round performance, seems to have been a victory. As long as he can do this, the media will not be stingy to use praise.

But surpass Kobe? Neither the media nor the fans want it. In their view, against a player like Kobe, not being blasted is victory. Moreover, link has been constantly improving, every time he faces Kobe, he is gradually getting better.

As a result, just two months later, on March 12, link had 38 points, 12 assists, 6 rebounds and 1 block. Without warning, link has defeated Kobe from the data to the performance! He is no longer satisfied with the gradual progress, but suddenly took a big step forward, frightening everyone!

From the first time Kobe saw link to today, in just a year and two months, that No. 0 has undergone earth shaking changes.

The thought of that makes Kobe feel heartache. He witnessed the growth of link, but it can also be said that he became the background board of link's growth.

"The Lakers may have to give up the game, and sure enough, Mike Brown replaced Kobe Bryant, and he didn't want Kobe to take any more risks. This year's regular season schedule is very intensive, so avoiding injuries is the best way to achieve long-term goals. But the game ended in such a way, Kobe must be very reluctant

Herbie Brown said, wiping his sweat. When Kobe came off the court, brown felt relieved. The war is over, and most importantly, the Grizzlies are the winner.

For grizzly fans, this is a happy ending. The Grizzlies managed to avoid a losing streak after guy was injured. And link also with the outstanding performance, to grizzly fans ate a reassurance.

Now, everyone believes that the Grizzlies won't be killed by injuries or Randolph's decline.

Because, they have link.

See Kobe's end, Hollins also took link down. As link stepped off the court, all the fans stood up and applauded him.

See this scene, sitting on the bench Kobe can not help feeling, grizzly finally ushered in their real soul.

This team, from now on, will no longer be confused.

"Well done, I knew I could trust you."

"What did I say? As long as you untie the shackles, you can play better! "

"You are so handsome today! Believe it or not, in the second quarter, you'll be rolling on TV for a month

On the bench, link was praised by his teammates, and he was very easy to embrace with his teammates. He completely lost the ferocity just on the court.

This guy put away his desire to win again and hid it in the bottom of his heart. But I believe that from now on, no one will dare to release the "devil" in his heart easily.

In the end, the Lakers lost 106-116 away. As long as the Grizzlies down more than 110 points in a single game, it shows that this game is unusual. Today, people know what's unusual about the game.

Link's 38 points and 12 assists is too eye-catching! That's the second high mark link has scored this season, following his 40 point triple double against the bulls.

Kobe is speechless. For the second time this season, he has let a Chinese American score nearly 40 points... And both of them are surnamed Lin.

Two guys who can make it to time magazine.

After the game, reporters rushed into the stadium. Bynum, Kobe and link are the three most popular players today.

Bynum obviously didn't want to be so "popular." he just wanted to go back to the dressing room and hide. Although he scored 24 points and 16 rebounds in the big double, Bynum didn't think he was doing well today.No way, who let him directly sit on the ground in the second quarter, and the mentality behind him also collapsed. These two points, enough to make his today's big double has become dim.

"Shake down? No, it's just that it's too slippery. I just slipped. "

"What? Did you see my ankle twist? No, no, no, nothing... Ankle terminator, bullshit

"I repeat, I didn't get shaken, I just slipped!"

Bynum kept arguing in an interview, but we could see whether it was slipping or shaking. The more he defends, the more journalists like to make a fool of him.

On the other hand, Kobe's mood is much more stable. But there is no doubt that he can only serve as a foil for link today.

"I've said for a long time that link has the ability to carry a team. But it's a pity that the Lakers didn't become link's misery

"Yes, link played very well today. His back technique is very mature. His cross step quick stop mid shot can rank in the top three of the league. I don't deny his excellence, but I'm still disappointed at the defeat

"We're going to win more games and today's defeat is a big blow for us, but it's not the end of the world."

On the surface, Kobe is calm, but his words reveal a reluctant mood. Originally, I wanted to recover one point of All-Star training in the formal competition. I didn't expect that today, link won the bigger one.

With Kobe's character, just think about it and know how much he's holding back.

However, although Kobe is competitive, he also agrees with the strong. He may be one of the few players who can't help smiling after being blocked by a good star or scoring a goal.

So after the game, Kobe still hugged link and patted him on the shoulder.

In the eyes of some fans, it's just a courtesy. But in the eyes of Herbie brown, this seems to indicate the beginning of League renewal...

Pierce, Ray Allen, Garnett, Kobe, Nowitzki, GDP, Nash... These guys who have dominated the League for more than ten years have gradually withdrawn from the ranks of top stars. James, Wade and other players, began to dominate the league.

And link and them, then sat in the original James their position.

The situation of this alliance may change greatly in recent years. Today, it's just a reflection of the general trend.

I just don't know what role the Memphis Grizzlies will play in the league in the future.

Can they be rulers or challengers?

Meanwhile, in the luxury box at the FedEx stadium, the Grizzlies owner, Michael haysley, made a tough decision.

The Grizzlies will change more in the future than people think.
