ESPN showed up a map of the survey area on the television.

Among them, the states that supported the Spurs were painted red. Then, almost the entire map turned red.

The states that supported the grizzlies were painted blue, and then there was not a single blue area on the map except for Tennessee, the base of the grizzlies.

It is not an exaggeration to describe this survey map as brutal and bloody, and every state is red in favor of the Spurs.

Link looked at this approval rating and was really speechless.

Of course, that doesn't mean that there is no support for the Grizzlies elsewhere. The rules of this approval rating survey are that whoever has more than 50% support in the state is judged to have full support for the team.

So in fact, in terms of total turnout, the Grizzlies' support rate has also reached 30%, the Spurs' is 56%, and 14% have no obvious inclination.

But even so, the Grizzlies' approval rating is very low.

No way, who made the Grizzlies the championship last season and brutally win 74 this year?

In the history of the NBA, almost all overly strong teams have been enemies of the nation.

Not to mention far away, let's just say that when the Heat Big Three were just formed, they were almost the enemies of fans all over the world. At that time, as long as the Heat lost, many fans would have a collective orgasm.

When Link used to be a fan, he also hoped that other teams could defeat the Warriors. It's not because he hates Curry, it's just that the Warriors are too strong, and Link expects someone to beat them, that's all.

An overly strong team is a threat to the whole league. So, everybody is very keen to see teams like this lose.

So the fact that the Spurs can get such a high support rating does not actually mean that the Spurs have so many fans in the United States.

A lot of people support the Spurs not because they want to see the Spurs win, but just to see the Grizzlies lose.

Link knew that many people wanted to see the Grizzlies lose, but he didn't expect it to be so much.

However, Link did not feel the pressure, and he was very happy to see the results of this investigation.

Link's favorite thing to do is to disappoint people who hate him. And this time, if the Grizzlies can get the Spurs, it will be the disappointment of the people of the United States with the Spurs!

Just thinking about it, Link finds it enjoyable!

Support for it, because soon Link will prove that everyone's support has no effect on the outcome of the game!

Their voices don't matter at all!

Turning off the TV, Link headed towards the training hall.

Four days later, in the Western Conference Finals, Link will make everyone shake their heads and sigh in disappointment.

※※※

On the Grizzlies' training court, all the players are methodically conducting their own special drills.

Soon, they will be brought together to continue the joint training of the small lineup with unlimited defensive changes.

Link's pre-match confidence was not groundless. Because long before the elimination of the Clippers, the Grizzlies were already doing targeted training for the Spurs.

Now, the Grizzlies are incredibly accustomed to the infinite rotation and small lineup play. When it comes to the game, the Grizzlies won't be as overwhelmed as the Thunder.

Training went on as normal, but a loud shout from Dellavedova broke the calm of the training hall.

"Della, what's wrong with you?" Joggle immediately asked, he thought Dellavedova was injured.

"I'm so excited, boss! I'm in the Rookie 2nd Team! Dellavedova, however, held up her phone and jumped excitedly.

Link then remembered that the divisional finals were just around the corner, and now it was time to announce the rosters of the best teams.

The first to be announced was the best rookie team.

His teammates crowded around Dellavedova and looked at his phone screen. It didn't take long for people to discover why Dellavedova was so excited.

Because this Australian, who looks like a marmot, is the only undrafted player to be selected to the best rookie team this year!

Although it is only the best rookie second team, although no player in the best rookie second team can average any of the data per game to get a double, to put it bluntly, it is a general in the short man.

But this is already a great honor for Dellavedova.

Link encouraged Dellavedova to be insignificant, as his 3.3 points and 2.1 assists per game were insignificant on the surface. But he was able to make the All-Rookie Second Team because of his impressive defense.

It is also a success to be recognized for your greatest value.

Link looked at the full list again and realized that the second team of the best rookie was not all "shorty". Because, in it, he saw Janis. Antetokounmpo's name......

It's embarrassing.

The fact that Dellavedova was selected as the best rookie made Link look forward to the next two days even more.

As is customary, the league will continue to announce the All-Defensive Team and All-Star rosters in order for the next two days.

These are also the final two events of this season's NBA regular season awards.

Link really hopes that he can continue to be selected, and if that happens, Link will be able to win all the heavyweight individual honors this year......

Sure enough, at 12 noon the next day, Link saw his name in the best defensive formation!

In the past two years, none of the players who won the Defensive Player of the Year award were selected for the All-Defensive Team. Last season, Gasol Jr. almost couldn't even make it to the best defensive second team! There is no doubt that this is a very embarrassing thing.

After all, the best defensive player is chosen by the media. The best defensive team is voted on by the coach. Therefore, it is inevitable that there will be disagreements.

This year, though, Link ended a two-season accident. Link was named to the All-Defensive First Team alongside Noah, Ibaka, George and Paul.

And because of the presence of Link and George, James has been squeezed into the best defensive second team this year. These two forwards, from the University of Fresno, have teamed up to change the league.

Of course, as always, Link isn't the only player on the Grizzlies to be named to the All-Defensive Team.

This year, Iguodala and Jimmy. Butler was named to the All-Defensive Second Team. In other words, many coaches think their defense is on par with James!

And the most embarrassing thing is Jordan Jr., who once shouted that he was qualified to be the best defensive player, but this time he didn't even enter the best defensive second team.

At this point, Link already has three major honors: Defensive Player of the Year, MVP and Defensive Team of the Year. As long as Link can continue to be named to the All-NBA First Team, then he will become the first player in the 21st century to win MVP+DOPY+ Double Team in a single season!

Unstoppably, Link once again stands at the crossroads of history.

When the league announced the All-Defensive Team and Link was on the list, the world was talking about Link's dominance.

After all, among the active NBA players, James and Howard are the only ones who can be selected for the double-team team for two consecutive years.

The double team represents a player who has been recognized by the league on both offensive and defensive ends, and it is a highly valuable honor. It has always been the top superstars in the league who have the opportunity to win such honors.

It's amazing to have this honor once, let alone to be dominant for two years in a row!

And if Link is named to the All-Match First Team again tomorrow, it won't be as simple as a double-first-team for two years in a row.

Because in the history of the NBA, only superstars of Jordan and Olajuwon have won MVP+DOPY+ double teams in a single season.

In other words, if Link is named to the All-NBA First Team tomorrow, he will become on a par with the likes of Jordan and Olajuwon!

This is no ordinary honor, this is an important step for Link from an active superstar to a historical superstar!

The discussion about Link was so lively that his influence was not limited to the United States, but radiated to the whole world.

That night, many Chinese fans even chose to stay up late to refresh the news page in order to wait for the best results.

Regardless of whether Link is a Chinese national or not, his achievements in the NBA represent the limit of what a Chinese player can do in the basketball world! Therefore, many Chinese fans attach great importance to this.

A Chinese-American historical superstar? It's great to think about!

However, it was Link himself who slept soundly. If someone else had a chance to break this record, they would definitely be excited and couldn't sleep. But Link didn't, he should eat and sleep, as if it all had nothing to do with him.

It's not that Link isn't interested in the accolade, but he knows that his selection to the All-NBA First Team is a sure thing.

Do you still need to see the results? When you wake up, you're sure to make history again.
