The third game of the series between the rockets and the Grizzlies is absolutely a shame for the Rockets.
38, 116 to 78. Three more points, the Rockets nearly set the team history playoff record for the biggest loss.
Three games in a row, the Rockets have been hit with no strength to fight back. Throughout the first round of the playoffs, only the heat battered the Bucks as thoroughly as the Grizzlies abused the Rockets.
The thunder battered the seventh place Lakers, but that was mainly because they lost Kobe. And bucks and rockets, are a neat lineup.
For this, link is quite sorry. When he came to the world, not everything could change. For example, he has reminded Kobe more than once to be careful and do what he can.
As it turns out, Kobe still has a broken Achilles tendon.
But it's not impossible for link to change anything. For example, after game 3 with the Rockets, link received a rumor that "the rockets and Morey may be going their separate ways."
In the NBA, most things are secrets that can't be hidden. After all, Alexander and Morey can't be alone all the time. As long as they get in touch with others and behave differently in front of others, the news is bound to leak.
To say the least, even if the news is not leaked, it is likely that Alexander deliberately let people "leak" the news.
The message is very clear: "rocket general manager position is about to be vacant, please come and apply."
For Kobe's injury, link felt sorry. But for the rumors of Morey's dismissal, link is very happy.
He never liked Morey, even when he was a fan.
The Rockets are China's home team in the NBA, but the Rockets have benefited the most in China. Does Morey really like China and its players? That's not necessarily true.
The image of Morey merchant is deeply rooted in link's mind. It's not that businessmen are bad, but in the basketball world, pure businessmen may not be able to manage a team well.
NBA is a business, but not just a business.
What's more, now that link has gone through Morey's abandonment and smear, he is even more disgusted with the guy who only has interests in his eyes.
Seeing the possibility of a break-up between the rockets and Morey, link just wanted to clap his hands. Without him, the Rockets might have developed better.
Link doesn't know what role he played in Morey's dismissal, but he believes he is at least a fuse.
After the third game, the Grizzlies stayed in Houston. Although the world knows the Grizzlies are going to make it, they have to finish Game 4.
In Houston, the Grizzlies have shifted their focus to the clippers and the Nuggets. Both the team and the Nuggets are in training.
The clippers and the Nuggets will win, link is not sure. In the first two games, the Nuggets actually won twice in a row in Los Angeles. But in game three, in Denver, when everyone thought the Nuggets were going to get match point, the Clippers won.
As it turns out, the Clippers are not such a good team. After all, they have Paul in, and Paul's competitive spirit and Kobe are almost the same level.
Paul won't give up until he's completely killed.
Can the Clippers go back in two consecutive innings? Even link began to look forward to it.
The playoffs are in full swing, and the high-profile NBA regular season awards are being announced one by one.
This time last year, link received his first regular season award of his career, the fastest growing player.
This year, the fastest growing player award went to another player from Fresno University.
Link immediately called his good brother Paul George to express his congratulations. A small Fresno University began to attract attention because it produced the fastest growing players for two consecutive years.
Granger's injury has given the third grade George more room to play. This season, George's average playing time has increased from 29.7 minutes last season to 37.6 minutes. The average score, rebounds and assists increased from 12.1 points, 5.6 points and 2.4 times in last season to 17.4 points, 7.6 points and 4.1 times in this season.
With George's excellent performance, the Pacers also entered the playoffs this year with third place in the East!
Indeed, the Pacers were third in the East last season. But this year, with the Pacers able to keep third place in the East without star Michael Granger, George's value is clear.
After the fastest progress award, J.R. Smith of the Knicks won the best sixth man award.
In the first half of the season, Clippers' Jamal Crawford has been the most popular award. However, since March, J.R. has suddenly opened invincible mode. Since March 6, J.R. has been able to contribute 23 points per field and hit 47%. Together with Anthony Anthony, he won 13 straight games for the Knicks at the end of the season, finishing second in the East.
Although the best sixth person award has nothing to do with link, link is still vaguely happy. If the Grizzlies face the Clippers in the next round, at least Grizzlies will not be the best substitutes in the league, but just the second best substitutes.Today, April 29, in addition to the Grizzlies and rockets in the fourth game, is also the best defensive player announced the day.
So early in the morning, the Grizzlies gathered in Gasol's hotel room, waiting for the results to be announced.
This situation is very similar to the scene in February when people were waiting for Randolph to be selected into the all star lineup.
It's not hard to see how cohesive the team is. It's about your teammates, it's about you. When a teammate wins a prize, it's like winning a prize.
At ten o'clock in the morning, grizzlies defense coach Dave Joel got a phone call. He just said a few words and didn't say much, so the players didn't know what the call was about.
After hanging up, Dave Joel sighed and then tiptoed to pat Gasol on the shoulder.
"Keep up, mark. You're the best defender I've ever seen and you've done well enough
It was disappointing to see Joel say that. But the next second, Dave Joel couldn't help laughing.
"Why are you so depressed? I didn't say mark didn't win the prize! Congratulations, this afternoon, you can see your best defender trophy
The Grizzlies were stunned for a second, and then they all jumped up.
Joel received a notice saying, "the vote is out, mark Gasol has become the best defensive player of the 12-13 season! Let him be ready. In the afternoon, we will hold a press conference for him and give him awards! "
Grizzlies general manager Chris Wallace's words, Joel remember every word clearly!
Before the fourth game with the Rockets, Pau Gasol won the best defensive player award. For the Grizzlies, this is undoubtedly a very morale boosting thing.
After link, mark Gasol became the second Grizzlies player to win the regular season trophy!
Link is also happy for Gasol, this was originally sent to Memphis as a second round show, finally proved his ability.
In the evening, the Grizzlies were all excited. The rocket, which has lost its morale, is naturally unable to resist. After the game, Randolph couldn't help but break into the camera when Gasol was interviewed.
"This victory is a gift from us. I hope you like it, man." After that, Randolph and link raised four glasses of water and poured them on Gasol's long hair.
Gasol instantly turned into a "Tramp", but his smile did not diminish.
Game four, victory. It also means that the Grizzlies successfully eliminated the Rockets with a 4-0 aggregate score, becoming the first team to advance to the second round of the playoffs this season.
Link said 4-0 is 4-0, and he did what he said.
The Rockets have been waiting for four years, but they still haven't been waiting for a playoff victory. However, due to the fact that Morey has been fired, the rocket's operation this summer has made people look forward to it.
As for the Grizzlies, with link as a superstar, they have one more best defensive player. It's hard to predict how strong they are.
But just after the Grizzlies eliminated the Rockets, there were more voices saying Gasol didn't deserve the award.
Many media began to voice questions about Gasol's ability, but they thought the reason why Gasol didn't deserve was very simple. "As a best defensive player, mark Gasol's defense data is very ordinary, and he may even be unable to enter the best defensive two sets."
The title of "the best defensive player in the water" was put on Gasol's head overnight.
