Link actually didn't want to steal the name of "Lin Crazy", after all, he and Jeremy Lin had no grievances. Just feeling like you're right in the middle of it is sure to be very interesting. When it comes to Lin Crazy in the future, people will not think of Jeremy Lin alone, but two!

Therefore, he is also looking forward to the race of the number 12. Not just Link, but most of the fans, commentators and even the players, expressed their anticipation for the game.

"There has never been such a matchup in the NBA, two Chinese Americans have collided, and this is likely to be an encounter between the ancients and the since."

"It's hard to imagine that one day, yellow-skinned players will actually rule the league. I'm looking forward to this fight, it feels very different to me. ”

"Lin VS Lin, undrafted vs undrafted, the stories of both of them are too legendary. Legends meet legends, it must be very exciting. ”

On the web, the game between the Knicks and the Grizzlies has attracted a lot of attention. also said that they would send their strongest "three-person celestial group" to the scene to explain the game.

Bryant also said he would come home that day and watch the matchup carefully. Because he thinks that Link and Jeremy. Lin is a good player. The game between the best players is worth watching.

In short, the whole league is like a holiday, and for everyone, the 12th is like a super party.

But among them, there are also some not very friendly voices.

"Watching two Chinese people play, won't they fall asleep?"

"Nobody wants to watch this game, I can't even tell who is who."

"Isn't there a better game to watch on the 12th?"

The remarks of these fans, while unfriendly, have not yet attracted much attention. After all, none of them are any, and no one cares what they say.

But what Link never expected was that even some official media staff made some low-level mistakes.

One hour before the start of the match on the 12th, a tweet exploded on the Internet.

This tweet comes from Fox Sports reporter Jason. Whitelock, who he thought was a humorous joke, made Link very popular.

"No matter which Lin wins tonight, there's a woman in Memphis who has to accept the pain of being a few centimeters shorter."

"This guy is sick." Link looked at this popular tweet, and he really felt that some sports reporters in the United States were really anti-intellectual.

Saying such low-level remarks, he is still complacent?

"Fox's Whitelock? I know that guy, he's just a stupid beep and often sends some sensational messages. Last year, he also said I needed to apply to the league for a bigger jersey because I was too fat. Randolph shook his head as he spoke, some reporters attract attention with all kinds of mentally retarded remarks.

Link listened to Randolph's words and sent a text message directly to Jeff. Austin, let him deal with this boring guy. Then, Link put his phone in the locker and officially started to prepare for the game, focusing on the game itself!

Putting aside the topic of "Lin Madness", the Grizzlies really have to be more careful in the face of the Knicks, who have just won five in a row. This game is an important game not just for Link, but for everyone on the Grizzlies.

Against an opponent who has just won five in a row, who can take it lightly?

"I hope you don't get influenced by public opinion, it's just a normal regular season. It's just that our opponent has just won five in a row. So, what we have to do is stay focused. The Knicks are missing Anthony, but their offense is more fluid. We have to play our best defensive form at home, otherwise D'Antoni's system will allow the score to be pulled away quickly! ”

Before the game began, Hollins emphasized to the players the general idea of dealing with the Knicks.

Indeed, the tactics that D'Antoni is now using with the Knicks are a bit like the Suns back then.

The Knicks relied on Jeremy Lin's blocking tactics of constantly breaking through with the ball, finding scoring opportunities by himself, and creating gaps for teammates to shoot, scoring points in constant transformation, misalignment, and running.

When such tactics are paired with Novak, Beal. Pitchers like Walker and Shambaugh are hugely powerful. When Jeremy Lin won his first game against the Jazz, most people only remember the 28 points and 8 assists of the amazing Chinese, but few people remember Novak and Beal. Walker's 8 three-pointers combined!

The Knicks are an offense-oriented team, supplemented by the "boxing champion" Tyson. Chandler's defense.

So as long as they can contain the Knicks on the offensive end, the Grizzlies basically win half of the game.

Because as we all know, Mike. D'Antoni isn't a coach who is good at tuning defense, and the Knicks guys aren't any good defensive players except for Chandler.

Tough defense, that's what the Grizzlies need to stick to. As for the Grizzlies' offense? Hollins believes the players can handle it themselves.

One hour later, Link was in his assigned position as a starter. Looking at the stands that sat in the stands, looking at the reporters from various countries on the sidelines, and looking at the comic group on the commentary stand, Link was still a little proud.

It has to be said that it is an honor for him and Jeremy Lin to make a game so high-profile as Asian players.

You must know that the so-called "Chinese derby" that was hyped by the Chinese media back then was basically self-congratulatory, and people in other places didn't think how exciting Yao Ming could be when he met other Chinese players.

And today's meeting, even regardless of Asian identity, is indeed a strong dialogue.

Thinking of this, Link glanced at the No. 17 standing at the very back of the Knicks. Just how crazy Lin is crazy, Link can't wait to understand.

"There are still some changes to the Knicks' starting lineup, Chandler is back to play the No. 5 position, Amaré. Studemire also returned to the team to continue his activities in the fourth position. The No. 3 position is Fields, and the shooting guard is Beal. Walker. And the No. 1 position is still played by Jeremy. Lin is responsible. The biggest feature of this lineup is the return of Stoudemire, and I don't know if his addition will make the Knicks' firepower more intense. ”

Before the start of the game, Kenny. Smith gave a quick overview of the Knicks' starting lineup. On the Grizzlies side, there is basically no need to be introduced, it is still the same, and it has basically not changed since the beginning of the season.

The referee blew the whistle, and Mark, who had just been selected for the All-Star Game, blew his whistle. Gasol got the basketball from Chandler's head. It can be seen that Gasol Jr. is also excited today. After all, his selection as an All-Star, like Link, has also encountered some skepticism. In the last game against the Timberwolves, his 12 points and 8 rebounds were not so impressive.

Therefore, Gasol is also very keen to prove his ability today.

The Knicks immediately retreated, and in fact, the Knicks' defense in these games was not bad. They were willing to bend down defensively in a way that Anthony didn't have when he was there.

But this defense can only be said to be not bad at best, not excellent.

As soon as he came up for the first attack, Link took Randolph's cover and broke through, and went straight to the penalty area!

Tyson. Chandler is waiting for the battle, and last season's Western Conference Finals match made "The King of Fighters" know that Link is strong, and he is by no means the kind of small character that can be defeated casually.

Chandler's eyes were fixed on Link, just waiting for Link to jump!

However, Link, who was staring at the basket, suddenly flicked his wrist and sent the ball to Mark. Gasol in his hands. Chandler knew that something was wrong, and he was attracted to Link, but he missed his own counterpoint!

"Damn!" Chandler immediately blocked it, but Gasol Jr. calmly threw it before then.

The basketball grazed Chandler's fingertips and flew towards the Nets, then hollowed in, and the Grizzlies scored first!

'Nice assist, Link's mind is as clear as ever. He is not greedy for merit, and he is not affected by the media hype. It's really commendable to continue to do what's good for the team. ”

After the goal, Gasol touched Link's head in gratitude. Link was speechless, and Gasol had learned the same bad habit. If you are touched by a black and white bear, Link is really afraid of baldness.

The next shot, the Knicks had Jeremy Lin in control. D'Antoni's system did suit Jeremy Lin too well, and Lin just needed to play with the ball to be powerful, but after that, none of the coaches he met would let him do that.

Seriously, if D'Antoni hadn't been unavailable, he wouldn't have let Jeremy Lin do that in the first place. But Jeremy Lin caught up.

Jeremy Lin borrowed Studemire's cover to get into the box quickly, and his speed was the envy of Link.

Don't look at Jeremy Lin as a yellow-skinned player, but his acceleration ability is still good. It is said that during the physical test, Jeremy Lin's speed was almost the same as Wall's.

Jeremy Lin plunged headlong into the penalty area, and Gasol Jr. immediately arrived to delay, but he could only follow on his side, and it was obviously very difficult to keep up.

Despite this, Jeremy Lin was forced to slow down a bit, but it was enough to shake off Gasol Jr.

So, Jeremy Lin riveted his strength and prepared to go to the basket! In the previous games, he has scored a lot of goals in this way.

Gasol Jr. jumped up, but obviously couldn't reach the basketball, he was overtaken by Jeremy Lin too much!

Just when everyone thought that Jeremy Lin was going to successfully take out the response ball, Link killed him from the side in time, jumped high, stretched out his long arms, and slapped Jeremy Lin's layup back!

"One cap! From Link! Hahaha, it's so exciting, I didn't expect the showdown between the two to be staged so early! O'Neill exclaimed exaggeratedly, Link's block was really merciless!

"Don't make Memphis too simple, man." After Link landed, he smiled and said his first words to Jeremy Lin.

Jeremy Lin smiled and shook his head, he knew that Link was not malicious, but he was still very unwilling to be bloody.

At this time, several fans in the stands raised their number plates. Put their cards together to form a sentence.

"In Memphis, we have a crazier forest."

Lin is crazy in Memphis, not necessarily crazy.
