Before the new season even started, Link's popularity had already been hyped.

In the summer, Link's $300 million contract extension to Nike shocked the world's jaws.

Then, the video of Link hammering Durant in Rock Park became popular all over the world.

Subsequently, Link's training camp, which was unanimously praised by stars from all walks of life, made Link lie down and also made headlines.

Then, Link's outstanding performance in the pre-season made fans can't help but want to get a glimpse of how far Link can go in the whole game.

Finally, ESPN's ranking of the top 50 stars in the 13-14 season made Link's popularity completely break through the sky.

Link has been in the spotlight all summer. So, while it's still two days before the start of the new season, Memphis has already come alive.

Countless sports reporters gathered here, and between the buildings, there were posters for the Grizzlies for the new season.

Fans spontaneously wait in front of the Federal Express Arena every day just to catch a glimpse of the stars at the end of practice.

No other season has been as buzzing as this year.

Link watched the increasingly lively atmosphere, but he was not carried away by his super popularity.

He worked hard every day to prepare for the fight, and if he lost the opening game in the eyes of all the people, it would be too painful to fall.

As is customary in the NBA, at the start of the new season, they will definitely schedule a few key battles in the first few days to quickly attract the attention of fans.

Although the Grizzlies' opponent in the first game was not the Heat, the Spurs were also difficult to deal with.

Leonard is in the third grade, and in the original history, he won the FMVP this season, and his strength should not be underestimated.

Danny. Green has become one of the best 3-and-D players in the league and will definitely cause huge problems for the Grizzlies.

And although the GDP trio is quite old, it is still strong. This season's Spurs have championship-level strength.

So this first battle is definitely not easy.

Link is very jealous of Leonard's defense, but he can defend James from being temperless.

What's more, the overall defense of the Spurs is also quite tough.

Last season, the Spurs lost to the Thunder, which was a deviation from the original history. If the Spurs and Grizzlies meet in the Western Conference Finals as they did in the original history, Link believes that their Western Conference Finals will definitely not be so easy.

You know, in the past three years, the Spurs have been eliminated by the Grizzlies in two of them. Such a thing will undoubtedly greatly increase the desire of Spurs players to win. In the opening game, the Spurs may play at a higher level.

While Link was preparing for the opener, the voices of doubt never stopped.

"Grizzly bears actually have 5 people on the top 50 list, sure enough, just look at this kind of list, don't take it seriously."

"ESPN is licking the grizzlies too much now, and I wonder if ESPN will feel a pain in the face after the halfway point of the season."

"In the first game of the opener, the Spurs will let the Grizzlies know that they are by no means as strong as ESPN boasts."

"We've only had two players named to the top 50 for the new season, but I'm sure Spurs will win."

Championships have always been the most hated, and champions who are not hated generally have no sense of existence.

For example, after winning the championship in 11 years, the Mavericks, although they are the defending champions, they are not the public enemy. Because everyone knows that the odds of the Mavericks successfully defending their title are close to zero.

The more hated the championship is, the more intimidating they prove. After all, who wouldn't want their team to be champions?

Link didn't care about the voices, he was used to it. After the opening game, Link believes that the media that are now the most scolding will be dumb in an instant.

The two days passed quickly, and on October 29, Link felt like it was yesterday to win the championship. But the pace of the 13-14 season has been pressed.

Today, the NBA has scheduled three blockbuster opener matchups. The Eastern Conference champions Heat will face the Bulls after Rose's comeback on the road, and the Los Angeles Lakers, who have the strongest box office appeal, will face the city rivals Clippers.

And the finale is the matchup between the Grizzlies and the Spurs.

The Heat and the Bulls, as well as the Clippers and the Lakers, to be honest, have a huge difference in strength between the two sides. It's just because of all kinds of gimmicks that it will be arranged as the opening game.

But the Grizzlies and the Spurs, this is a real powerhouse conversation.

Two hours before the start of the game, the scene was already packed. The Spurs players came in early to warm up, and they were more than willing to let the Grizzlies experience what it means to be hot and dead.

And from the first second he stepped into the court, Link had been staring at the empty dome of the Federal Express Arena. After today, it will no longer be empty.

"Link, what's the fuss? New sneakers don't fit? Randolph walked up to Link and patted him on the head.

"No, it's just that I haven't been back for a long time, and I still feel a little uncomfortable, haha. Zach, in a minute, the championship pennant will be raised. Link said, moving his feet in Link's basketball shoes.

Today, the opening day, is also the day of the release of Link's first-generation signature shoes. There are long queues at major Nike stores in the United States, and many people have set up tents in front of the store a day in advance.

Link's sneakers are designed with a mid-top, which keeps wrapping without making them too bulky. The full-palm Zoom Air support makes the shock-absorbing effect of this pair of sneakers very rebellious.

Link's signature shoes are cutting-edge, making them perfect for both playing and everyday wear.

Of course, the most striking thing about Link's signature shoes is the letters engraved on the edge of the sole——. P Zeke。

This design is what Link insists on keeping, and it is the most striking feature of his signature shoe.

Some people say that Link is completely shameless in consuming the dead. But Link didn't care about the voices, because they didn't even know the place of Epshaw in his heart.

No matter what, the road under his feet will go down with Upshaw.

So now, there are countless cameras on the sidelines with Link's feet. After all, this is the first time that Link's generation of sneakers has appeared in an NBA game.

Link didn't care too much about his shoes, but looked forward to the moment when the championship pennant was raised at the Federal Express Arena.

As the player who did it all, it was Link's moment of glory.

Before the start of the game, the fans stood up and the lights were turned off. Only one spotlight remained, aimed at the dome of the Federal Express Arena.

Then, to the cheers of the fans, an NBA championship pennant and a Western Conference championship pennant were raised. From now on, the history of the Memphis Grizzlies will no longer be a blank.

Link looked at the only light in the arena in the dark, looked at the two pennants, and instantly felt that all the efforts were worth it.

He did not continue to live in the history of others, he himself made history!

So much so that when Pera presented the championship rings to the players, Link was not so excited.

But to be honest, this championship ring of the Grizzlies is still very beautiful. In addition to being set with diamonds, the ring is also made of sapphires to polish the front of the ring into a Grizzlies logo, similar to the Bulls' championship ring in '93.

Each ring also has the player's name and jersey number on it, so each ring is unique.

Link kissed the ring, then looked at the pennant above his head.

He felt immensely proud and accomplished. Cal. Ma Long, Aaron. Iverson, Charles. Barkley, Elgin. Baylor, Reggie. Miller, Patrick. Ewing...... Countless great stars have never had a championship ring of their own in their lifetimes.

And Link only took three years to stand on top of the world. This sense of accomplishment is enough to make people intoxicated.

Amid the cheers of the fans at the scene, Link handed over the ring to the staff for safekeeping. He then took off his training clothes, stepped onto the court, and touched the hardwood floor beneath his feet.

A championship ring, great, but not great enough. His career goes on and his ambitions are not yet satisfied!

Let him pass the past honors, from now on, everything is a new journey!

First of all, let those yin and yang weird media take a look. I am ranked first in the list of the top 50 stars in the new season, is it enough to qualify!

Grizzly Bear 0, who had tasted the championship for the first time, stepped into the fray again, and the San Antonio people felt as if their legs were shaking.
