452: Both were selected
New truths? I can't believe that this sentence is actually from Paul. Pierce's Mouth. ”
The next day, all of the Grizzlies players returned to Memphis in triumph. As soon as they got off the plane, a bunch of reporters came over to interview the players who had just won the game.
As soon as Link stepped off the plane, he heard several reporters talking about the nickname "New Truth."
Seriously, seeing Pierce leave after the game yesterday, Link thought he was going to have a war of words with Pierce on the Internet.
After all, Pierce has never been soft. Link still remembers that after Pierce retired, he immediately became a big troll, and anyone dared to scold.
But I never expected that Pierce would actually say good things about himself this time.
Link is not averse to such a title, after all, who doesn't like to earn respect?
With 33 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, Link's stats yesterday were very dazzling, but they were far from amazing. What was really amazing was his complete victory in the duel with Pierce!
Pierce, who also scored 17 points in the first half, only scored 2 points in the second half when he met Link. This huge gap undoubtedly makes reporters talk about it.
Pierce, known as one of the best small forwards in the league, also lost to Link, and reporters no longer know how long this guy can wreak havoc in the league.
Link got the Grizzlies off to a great start to 2013, and reporters were naturally excited. After all, so far, the Grizzlies are still firmly in the first place in the league. If the Grizzlies can maintain this ranking, they will set another all-time team record!
You know, the Grizzlies' best record before was only the third place in the West created last season.
So today, the Grizzlies players who just got off the plane were surrounded by reporters.
Link is getting more and more excited now that he is getting more and more excited, but to his surprise, Tony. Aaron seemed to be more excited today than he was.
When Link arrived at the training gym in the afternoon, he found Tony. Aaron was already in the arena. Of course, Tony. Aaron was not practicing, but kneeling on one knee on the basketball court, and Link walked in just to see this scene, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
"What are you doing? Is this a church? Link jokingly looked at his Tony teacher, when did this guy become like Randolph and do things that ordinary people don't understand.
"Hey, speaking of which...... Didn't we play at home the day after tomorrow, I think ......."
"The day after tomorrow? Well...... The Portland Trail Blazers, they're not easy to deal with. What do you want? Apply to defend Aldridge. ”
"Damn, don't you only have a basketball in your head, I'm afraid if you uncover your skull, it's a ball inside. I wanted to be in before the game started that day...... Propose to my girlfriend! ”
"Bang bang......" Link's basketball fell to the ground, and he looked at Tony in surprise. Alan.
Have you ever seen what it looks like to be shy about this fierce player who "prevents Kobe from crying" on the court? Link saw it today!
"I can't see it, it's quite romantic! Talk to the gym staff and let them prepare the perfect scene for you! But even if you propose, you don't need to practice getting down on one knee......"
"I don't want to go through the process! I can't tell the staff at the stadium, though. You know, when there are too many people, any news is easy to leak out. I want to surprise her, and I must not let her know in advance. So, it must not be leaked to anyone. ”
"Hmm...... Then, you can propose to her in front of the camera before the start of the competition, when the reporter interviews you! In this way, the whole United States can witness your love for her! Link admires himself, he doesn't have a girlfriend, but he has a lot of ideas.
"You're still a clever kid, but how do you get the reporter to cooperate with me?"
Tony. Aaron spread his hands, and the man wanted to propose, which was more troublesome than playing ball.
※※※
After the evening practice, Link happily looked at the progress bar that was about to fill up.
If you continue to practice like this, you will be able to upgrade 100% by the end of January. Now that he is now, he can easily beat Pierce. How strong can it be after leveling up? Link couldn't wait for it.
If Stevens hadn't given the death order, the training hall would have to be closed by the time it was time, and Link estimated that he could have advanced a little earlier.
After driving home, Link kept thinking about Tony. The matter of Aaron's marriage proposal. How do you get journalists to cooperate with you? It's very simple, just tell the reporter in advance.
But Tony. Aaron was so careful not to let the reporter know in advance...... These two conditions are in conflict with each other.
Unless you can find a trustworthy journalist, it is dangerous for any news to leak out in advance.
Before Link could figure out what to do, his phone rang. A look at the caller ID is Jeff. Austin.
"Hahaha! You've made it kid, you've made it outright! ”
As soon as the phone was connected, Link didn't even have time to say "Hello", Jeff. Austin let out a joyful laugh that shook Link's ears and almost made his ears ring.
"Damn, what's going on?" Link hurriedly took the phone away and turned his finger to his ear.
"What's going on!? In December's Player of the Year Poll, you beat the second-ranked Chris. Paul, keep going for the next year! The All-Star starting lineup voting is also out, and you're ranked third out of all players with 1098797 votes, making you the starting forward for the Western Conference Stars for the second year in a row! Don't ask, I know what you're asking! Kevin. Durant has 100,000 fewer votes than you! In the West, you're second only to Kobe Bryant in your votes! And you are the second Asian player in NBA history to have more than one million All-Star votes after Yao Ming! Hahaha, you're a real star now, good boy! ”
Link's eyes widened as he listened. He hurriedly hung up the phone and looked at the relevant news.
December Western Conference Player of the Month, Link and Chris. The difference in votes between Paul is not huge. After all, Paul led the Clippers to a 16-0 record in December, which was perfect!
The Grizzlies didn't have a bad record in December, with a 14-1 record. Although he lost a fly in the ointment, Link's stats were more impressive than Paul's.
So in the end, it was still Link who won this honor! Although the difference in the number of votes is not large, the first is the first!
To be able to win the Player of the Month award in the West at a time where all the beasts are gathering is a great achievement. The last time someone could do this was Kobe Bryant in the 08-09 season. Bryant!
And the All-Star voting also proves how explosive Link's popularity is. In the final voting results, Kobe Bryant surpassed James to become the vote king, but Durant and Griffin failed to counterattack Link.
With more than a million votes, this is not something that any random player can do. This year, the All-Star votes exceeded one million, and there were only 5 votes at full. The other four are Kobe, James, Durant and Anthony.
And now, Link is on an equal footing with those names.
Even the popular "Flash" Wade has less than one million votes this year.
Having been recognized for both strength and popularity, Link is now extremely proud. Who said the small ball market can't produce superstars? The number of all-star votes has exceeded one million, this is the treatment that only superstars have!
Link was on top of him when the phone with his private number rang. Needless to say, it was a text message from Rachel.
"Congratulations, Link! I'm so proud of you that both the Monthly and All-Star starters were selected! The day after tomorrow, I will go to the scene to interview you! See you then! Don't forget to leave me an interview time! ”
Link was just about to reply to Rachel when something suddenly came to mind.
Trustworthy journalists, isn't this just found?
