Tonight, both Link and Jeremy. Whoever wins, a woman in Memphis has to endure a few centimeters of pain. ”

Jason. Whitelock admitted that he first said this just to make a fuss, and by the way, to tease Jeremy Lin and Link. Of course, this kind of ridicule is indeed discriminatory.

Anyway, he thinks that no one will speak up for the two Chinese players.

As a result, the day after the Knicks' game against the Grizzlies, Whitelock was out of luck.

Jeff. Austin reached out to a few media friends to make the matter hotter. And the wonderful showdown between Link and Jeremy Lin really made the two of them harvest a lot of fans. Among them, there are even many non-Chinese fans.

After all, sane fans are still in the majority, and two players who can play a good matchup, why don't they like it?

So the fans condemned together, and Whitelock was pushed to the forefront. As soon as he arrived downstairs in the office building this morning, he was surrounded by a large number of media.

Faced with the doubts of his media peers, Whitelock didn't pay much attention at first, insisting that he didn't make a mistake and was just joking.

But the impact of this incident, to be exact, the influence of Chinese players, is clearly beyond Whitelock's imagination. This matter continued to ferment over time, fermenting to the point that even the entire Fox Sports was affected.

At this time, Whitelock realized that Link and Jeremy Lin were no longer bullies he wanted to bully.

So, in the afternoon of the same day, Whitelock finally apologized under the pressure of public opinion, and his attitude was completely different from that of the morning.

It's a pity that his apology was too late. Immediately after the apology, Whitelock received a letter of dismissal from Fox Sports.

"We are disappointed by your remarks and have decided to fire you so as not to negatively impact the company."

When Whitelock saw this, he almost couldn't hold back his tears. This guy would never have imagined that he would be burned in a moment's hesitation.

After the dismissal of Whitelock, Fox Sports also publicly apologized in an official capacity, and the matter finally subsided.

Jeremy Lin didn't expect this matter to ferment so much, and later learned that it was Link who deliberately contacted his manager to make things bigger.

Jeremy Lin smiled and shook his head after learning the truth, Link is not only on the basketball court, but also off the basketball court, but also really strong.

It's easy to say anything if you don't provoke him, but if you provoke him, he will take revenge. That's how the game is, so is life.

This is the end of this matter. But Link is still playing seriously, and Jeremy Lin continues to create his magic. The yellow storm that swept through the alliance continues to rage.

On Feb. 14, the Grizzlies beat the Rockets by 10 points at home. Link's 17 points, five rebounds and six assists remained strong. On the same day, Jeremy Lin beat the Raptors by 27 points in Toronto, and although the magic was interrupted by Link, it was not ended.

On the 15th, the Grizzlies faced the Nets back-to-back. In this game, Mayo scored 17 points and shot 37.5% of his three-point shooting, which was a strong response to the Grizzlies' abandonment. Delon also scored 26 points, and the Nets' backcourt pair looked unstoppable.

However, the Grizzlies relied on the performance of 5 players scoring double-doubles and 3 players scoring 20 points, with a difference of 5 points, and took out the Nets without danger.

The Nets' defense is simply better than nothing, especially the outside defense, which is all ATM. Marchand. Brooks, Mayo, and the already aged DeSean. Stevens and others are big colanders on the defensive end.

In this kind of defense, Guy and Tony after the comeback. Allen scored 25 and 23 points, respectively. Link scored 20 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, made 10 of 13 shots, and scored 20 points without relying on free throws, disgraced Mayo.

On the other side, Jeremy Lin led the team to a home win over the Kings and won another game, bringing the Knicks' winning rate to 50%!

The two crazy forests were not affected by public opinion and were still striding forward.

So a day later, Link received a message from Jeff. Austin's phone, "You and Jeremy. Lin is going to be featured in Time Magazine! ”

※※※

On the morning of the 17th, Link received the Asian edition of Time magazine from Austin.

As with the original history, Jeremy Lin is one of the cover characters. A photo of him holding the ball and making a layup against the Lakers occupies the right half of the cover.

That's right, just the right half. And the left half, this is different from the original history.

The left half is a photo of Link celebrating a three-point goal in advance! This issue of Time magazine has two cover characters, Link and Jeremy Lin!

The cover does not have too many annotations, and directly uses the word "LINSANITY" as the title. But at this time, the word "Lin Crazy" no longer refers to Jeremy Lin alone, but also to Link!

Link and Jeremy Lin have become a whole new meaning of the word "Lin Crazy". This word is no longer exclusive to Jeremy Lin alone.

The Chinese players upturned the entire NBA, which naturally caused quite a stir. It's just that in this history, it's not just Jeremy Lin who caused a sensation, but also Link!

Link looked at the magazine in his hand and smiled with satisfaction. He did not snatch the name of "Lin Crazy", but "shared" the title.

But this is not bad, after the influence gradually increases, your value will also be greatly increased.

Link, who was in a good mood, was smiling all the way through his afternoon training, and the number of reporters who came to the Federal Express Arena for interviews during the media hours between training sessions was at an all-time high.

Today, not only local Memphis reporters, but also many European and Chinese reporters travel thousands of miles to ask Link a few questions.

Originally, being featured in Time magazine means that your influence is no longer limited to the sports world.

Of course, as always, Link didn't float. Competitive sports are cruel, no matter how good you are now, as long as you can't do it, all the glory will disappear.

If you are on the cover of Time magazine today, if you smash your performance tomorrow, you will still be questioned.

So, in the afternoon confrontational training, Link was as serious as ever.

Chris sitting in the office. Wallace is very pleased that Link's arrival has allowed the Grizzlies to achieve both basketball and business progress.

The Grizzlies are no longer an unpopular team, and this season, the average ticket price of the Grizzlies has increased by 111.3% compared to last season!

And the progress in basketball, needless to say. Last season they were still worried about the playoffs, but this season, the Grizzlies are aiming for a top-four finish in the West.

Just as Wallace was congratulating himself on his decisive move to take Link, the landline in his office rang.

Wallace glanced at the caller ID and frowned.

The phone call came from the Union office.

※※※

After changing his clothes, Link walked to the administrative area of the basketball arena and went straight to the team's general manager, Chris. Wallace's office went away.

To be honest, Link doesn't usually have much contact with management. After all, at this stage, he just wants to play well. Generally, those who have more contact with the management are Kobe, James, and Wade who are enough to influence the development of the team.

Link didn't know why Wallace suddenly wanted to see him, could it be related to his appearance on the cover of Time magazine?

When Link walked into the office, sure enough, Chris. Wallace was holding a copy of Time magazine in his hand. The Grizzlies players were able to appear in magazines of this level, and Wallace was naturally happy.

"Congratulations, Link, this is a great feat!" When Link came in, Wallace got up and hugged him, extremely warm.

"Thanks, Chris. But you didn't just want to congratulate me, right? Link sat comfortably across from Wallace, and he remembers the first time he met Wallace, he was here to sign a ten-day contract.

At that time, Link was so nervous that he was afraid that Wallace would suddenly regret "returning the goods". But now, facing Wallace again, Link is relaxed.

Therefore, in this alliance, the strength is stronger, and the waist rod must be a little harder.

"That's right, it's not just congratulations. In fact, I have one thing I'd like to ask for your opinion on. An hour ago, I received a call from the Union office. Thanks to Hawks player Joe. Johnson was injured unexpectedly, and the league needed to bring in another player to replace him in this year's All-Star Three-Point Contest. The first thing the league wants to invite is you, and they think that your popularity and strength will bring a lot of attention to the three-point contest. So they asked me to ask if you would like to. ”

"Alliance, and ask me if I'd like to?" Link smiled.

There are some players who can't go to the game if they want to, and whether Link goes or not depends on the mood.

This card is bigger, it's different.
