Morey, Rockets and Link, that's a cliché.

Until now, there are still fans who ridicule Link as a "Rocket veteran". Darrell. Morey, the culprit who let Link go in the first place, is often taken out by people to take a round.

However, this is the third year of Link's career, and the Rockets and Grizzlies are not direct competitors in recent years. As a result, the grievances between the two sides have begun to be mentioned less and less.

It wasn't until after the Grizzlies' caring event that Morey's speech put him and Link on opposite sides again.

"That cunning, disgusting crumb."

This was the first sentence that popped out of Link's mouth when he saw Morey's news.

Link has injected a lot of emotion into the Grizzlies' caring actions, whether it's delivering books to orphanage children or fulfilling Lawson's dreams, he does it with real affection.

As a result, this sincere act of care was labeled by Morey as hyping and enhancing his own value, which greatly hurt Link's heart.

To be honest, Link used to have a war of words with his opponents, mostly for the purpose of basketball. Even if a reporter has made disrespectful remarks about Link's skin color in the past two years, it has been discussed with basketball as a starting point.

But this time, Link felt that Morey's rhetoric was entirely a personal attack, one that was completely outside of basketball.

Therefore, when he heard the news, he had nothing but indignation in his heart.

What Morey abandoned after using himself, Link could let go. You could say he was doing what a businessman should do. But this time, Link really thinks that guy is bad.

Maybe it's the pent-up emotions, maybe it's the red eyes, maybe it's the ulterior motives. Whatever the reason, Link would not forgive such an attack.

"Link, no matter what, we want you to take care of this matter properly. We're on a lot of momentum this year and we should focus on the game. I don't know what's wrong with Morey, and I don't want to know. My advice is, leave him alone. If a journalist interviews you, you'd better express your disdain for him. I've got a press release here, which should be enough to get you up with any questions. ”

Grizzlies Chief Press Officer, Kate. Ms. Selene found Link as soon as possible. Her starting point is simple, to think about the team's results. After all, if both sides start scolding each other on the Internet, I don't know how the alliance will react.

You know, though David. Stern is close to retirement. But this old guy still won't allow anything to damage the image of the Alliance.

If Link were to be suspended for his bigoted remarks or something, it would be a big loss for the Grizzlies.

Link took the press release, looked at it twice, and nodded.

Selene let out a big sigh, she thought that Link would refuse with righteous words, but she didn't expect to accept it without saying a word.

In the afternoon, Link trained as usual. To Stevens' relief, Link didn't seem to be affected in any way. He's still in great shape, and he's still the athlete who can score a 40-point triple-double on James' head.

In the afternoon, as is customary, during the media opening hours, the reporters entered the venue.

Based on Link's performance in the morning, today's interview shouldn't be a problem.

Link's expression was no different from usual when facing the reporters. He chatted happily about the team's situation and praised Harris, who had recently joined the team, as if nothing had happened.

Link can pretend nothing happened, but reporters don't.

"Link, what do you think of Darrell, the general manager of the Rockets. What about Morey's remarks? Is what he said true? Or is it just a personal vendetta? ”

In the end, someone still opened this "forbidden zone" that everyone knows well. But that's what the reporters wanted, and when the matter was in a uproar, people desperately needed an answer from the person concerned.

When Link faced this question, he noticed that not far away, Ms. Selene was also looking at him, and nodded slightly.

Link looked at the speech in his hand and was stunned for a second or two. Then, he clenched his speech into his fist.

There are some things that cannot be compromised.

"Me and Darrell. There is no personal vendetta between Morey, but it is extremely offensive and disrespectful for him to insult my personality and the charity of the Grizzlies. Then, I will fight him to the end. Darrell. Arthur must apologize for the matter, and if he doesn't, it's not just an offense to me, it's an offense to Memphis and the charity as a whole, and a denial of the NBA Cares' actions. That's my point. ”

After Link, he nodded lightly at everyone. Suddenly, the reporters exploded. There is no doubt that Link's remarks, indicating that he officially declared war with Morey.

These two guys, who have been secretly standing on opposite sides, have now completely become enemies on the surface.

Ms. Selene rushed to the players' locker room as soon as Link finished the interview. Butler was about to change his pants when a woman suddenly barged in, causing him to run to the bathroom.

"Link!"

"I'm sorry, Ms. Selene. Only this time, I really couldn't compromise. Link waved his hand.

"No, you don't have to apologize. I want to say, you answered brilliantly. You're smart enough to elevate this to the elevation of the entire NBA Caring Action. I believe that Darrell. Morey will pay for what he has said. ”

Link thought he was going to be criticized, but he didn't know that he was praised.

"Make that guy pay, I'm more than happy to do it." Link believes that with his current influence, it is enough for Morey to say sorry.

※※※

Morey saw Link's response to the matter that afternoon, and the righteous words of resistance really made Morey feel ridiculous.

Link, a yellow-skinned guy, actually thought he could argue with himself? He doesn't believe how many people in the NBA will support a Chinese. And the Houston Rockets are also the home team of Chinese fans in the NBA.

Morey then believed that even the Chinese side would not help Link speak.

To put it bluntly, Link is like an orphan that no one wants, caught in the middle.

Apologize? What do you think!

Morey really doesn't like Link, because in his opinion, Link's undrafted pick is entirely because of the popularity of fans and the league. He got an opportunity that didn't belong to him, and of course, he also diverted a part of the "meal ticket" that belonged to the rocket.

At one time, the Houston Rockets were the only home team for Chinese fans. But now, Link's emergence has changed the landscape.

Ordinary people will hold back their hearts when they encounter this kind of thing, after all, the alliance is so big, everyone looks up and doesn't look down.

But Morey is very confident, confident that he will not be punished even if he puts something on the surface.

After all, no one would support a Chinese player who has only played in the league for three years.

As a result, Morey was the next day by his boss Lelis. Alexan woke up with a phone call. At that time, it was not yet dawn, and the time was just after six o'clock in the morning.

In general, it is impossible for Old Man Alexander to call himself so early.

Looking at the noisy mobile phone, Morey, who was full of confidence yesterday, suddenly felt a tightening heart.

There's only one possibility to call so early – to play with fire.
