094:Before the Great War (6/40)

The moment Link broke through with bad luck, the look of horror on Belinelli's face impressed Link. He seemed to be able to see every bead of sweat on the Italian's forehead, and he could see every change in his expression.

In the end, Belinelli fell to the ground and Link jumped to shoot. Chris. Paul panicked and came out to make up for it, but to no avail.

The ball goes in, and the red light goes up. Link suddenly heard the alarm clock ringing, and opened his eyes suddenly.

At this point, Link doesn't have Belinelli in front of him, there's no Chris. Paul didn't have a red-lit rebound, just white walls.

Link smiled, he had actually experienced the lore scene of last night again in his dream. I have to say that even if it's just in a dream, Link can reminisce about that kind of wonderfulness.

After playing in New Orleans yesterday, the Grizzlies rushed back to Memphis overnight. Since everyone was very tired, Link slept very deeply yesterday as well.

Thinking about it now, Link thinks last night was incredible. Shake Belinelli and then Chris. A superstar like Paul has a stunner on his head. In the past, Link could only perform feats like YY in NBA2K games. But now, he's really putting on that wonderful moment.

I have to say that the feeling of killing the game is definitely the most enjoyable feeling in the world.

After waking up, Link turned on the TV and listened to sports news while making himself breakfast.

When he used to play in the Development League, Link would settle breakfast with two slices of toast for convenience. But now that you're in the NBA, you can't be so sloppy about what you eat.

Following the advice of a dietitian, Link now has to eat eggs and milk in addition to toast. Just as Link was taking milk from the fridge, he saw yesterday's top five balls actually playing on TV.

Link stared at the TV screen expectantly, thinking to himself that his lore yesterday should have taken a spot in the top five, right?

However, he looked at the first four balls, but there was no sign of himself. Just as Link was about to look away in disappointment, he finally saw himself on the TV wearing the Grizzlies No. 0 jersey on the first goal of the top five yesterday.

"First ball, watch the rookie striker shake down the opponent and kill the game on the head of the 'Queen Bee'!"

The introductory words of this goal are very simple, but they are enough to sum up the excitement of this lore.

Link smiled, it was the first time of his career that he had a top five finish. I believe that now, my fame must have soared rapidly.

After watching the top five, Link was satisfied and began to make breakfast. The TV was still on, so Link could hear the sports news.

"The focus battle on January 21 will undoubtedly belong to the Grizzlies vs. the Houston Rockets. What Link said in an interview with the media last night already made his attitude clear - I hope you can understand that I am very open to everything. None of that, though, stopped me from holding grudges. Link has already provoked the Rockets who once abandoned him head-on, and the Houston Rockets don't want to continue to be pulled apart. So, trust me, it's going to be another good game. ”

"Is there anyone still questioning Link's abilities? He has what it takes to create a great game. Therefore, No. 21 does not miss the matchup between the Grizzlies and the Rockets. At that point, that game could be as exciting as the just-concluded Grizzlies vs. Hornets. ”

Hearing the sound on the TV, Link drained all the milk in the glass in one gulp, and then quickly walked out the door.

Houston Rockets, this is really a team name that makes Link feel energetic as soon as he hears it.

※※※

On the training ground today, his teammates were still discussing Link's brilliant stunner yesterday. In Memphis Grizzlies, this kind of thing is usually done by Rudy. Guy to finish. And yesterday suddenly changed people, and everyone still thinks it's quite fresh.

As a result, Link was also sought after by his teammates today. At noon, I was touched by all kinds of heads......

Now Link kind of knows why most of the black players are either slick or bald. Because that way, you don't have to be afraid of being touched on the head. Ginobili first entered the league with long hair fluttering, but then he didn't honestly shave his board.

As soon as the media opening time arrived, a crowd of reporters immediately flooded the training ground of the Federal Speed Center. Everyone was stunned, this was probably the most lively media opening session of the season so far.

Once upon a time, the Memphis Grizzlies were a team that no one cared about, no traffic, no highlights, so there were not many reporters willing to come to the training gym to interview.

But this time, watching the piles of reporters come in, Link felt like he was back in Houston, back at the Toyota Center. It was only there that he had seen so many journalists in the training ground.

What was even more unexpected for Link was that after the group of reporters entered, most of them walked directly in front of him. One by one, the microphones were stretched out, and the reporters seemed to be eager to shove the microphones into Link's mouth.

Link stepped back again and again, looking confused. Although it is not the first time that he has been interviewed by reporters, as an undrafted pick, Link is really the first time that he has been sought after like this.

"Link, what do you want to say about tomorrow's game?"

"Did Morey's decision make you hold a grudge? Do you think you can help the Grizzlies win? ”

"If tomorrow the game goes to the last moment again, will you still be responsible for killing the game?"

Before Link could react, the reporters threw out a whole bunch of questions. It seems that last night's lore and remarks did bring Link great popularity.

But for now, this popularity is not a good thing for him......

Meanwhile, in Houston, there are also many reporters in the training hall at the Toyota Center. But unlike the Grizzlies, the Houston Rockets have never lacked attention, so the Rockets players have long been accustomed to this situation.

"I knew the draft loser was great, and I knew he had a lot of potential when I worked with him. I'm definitely going to give 100 per cent strength to deal with him because he's really dangerous. Battier replied with a smile at the camera.

"I just want to care about my own players, I only care about winning." And Rockets coach Rick. Adelman is clearly not as patient as Battier.

At the mention of Link, Adelman was heartbroken. When Link's 10-day contract expired, he suggested that Morey continue to renew Link's contract. Although Adelman had basically only let Link go for a few minutes at that time, he still saw Link's potential.

The result? As a result, Morey's guy who only knows how to shoot eyeballs actually let Link go! At the time, Morey's explanation to Adelman was: "His commercial value has almost been drained, and there is no need to keep him." ”

The rest of the story is known to everyone, Link was acquired by the Grizzlies, the direct rival of the Rockets. Now, the Grizzlies are in the top eight in the West with a 23-19 record, and they are on a season-longest seven-game winning streak. The Houston Rockets, on the other hand, were overtaken by the Grizzlies. And now they are only 20-23, and they have gradually been distanced by the Grizzlies.

As a result, Adelman was impatient at the mention of Link by reporters. But it's not that Adelman is unhappy with Link, it's that he feels pity! Such a good player, stunned to be given to the opponent! If Link had been left behind, he might have been the one who would have made it to eighth in the West now!

Thinking of this, Adelman glanced at the general manager's office on the second floor. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, he spotted that Morey's office was also filled with reporters.

"Cut, I must be talking nonsense to the reporters again." Adelman snorted, he could even guess what Morey would say.

"I respect Link, I knew he was a great player when he was at the Houston Rockets, but our plans were different at the time."

"Link worked hard when he was in Houston and we taught him a lot."

"Hate? Link would never hate the Houston Rockets, we get along like family. ”

Morey can say anything to the camera, but he will never say what he thinks at the time, "Link has no commercial value to us anymore." ”

The thought of Morey's hypocritical face made Adelman sick. So instead of continuing to pay attention to the general manager's office, he turned his attention to Kevin, who was being interviewed by the media. Martin.

This season, Kevin. Martin is undoubtedly the star of this "civilian rocket". He averaged a team-high 23.5 points per game this season.

At the time of today's training, Kevin. Martin is in great form. He hit 15 three-pointers in a row in shooting drills, and he scored 30 points in practice games lightly! That's right, 30 points in a training match of just 20 minutes!

The Rockets have won three in a row recently, which has a lot to do with Martin's excellent form. Adelman believes that Martin will definitely be an important weapon for him tomorrow.

Respect Link is respect, but the game, Adelman still has to win.
