With what Link knows about N'Golo Kante, he is indeed the kind of player who likes to have a big mouth.

However, Kanter's big-mouth attribute was probably discovered during the rise of the Warriors. To be honest, Kanter's presence in the NBA wasn't really high before that.

As things stand, Kante's big-mouth attribute was actually there from the start. No, an interview made fun of both the Thunder and the Grizzlies. By the way, also provoked Link.

Kanter has nothing to dare to provoke, and in the future, he will not even deal with Durant and James.

Is N'Golo Kante an athlete of the caliber of James and Durant? Of course not. But Kante doesn't care, as long as he sprays hard.

Of course, this guy is not a simple sunspot. He also openly supports his favorite player or team, and in general, he has a clear love and hate. And whether it's love or hate, he will express his opinion unabashedly.

This kind of personality can't be divided into good and bad, but Link thinks that as an adult, especially a public figure, sometimes it's better to keep your mouth shut.

This interview video naturally attracted much attention, and the Jazz did defeat the Thunder last night, which undoubtedly increased the popularity of Kanter's interview video.

"The Utah Jazz are not afraid of strong enemies, and after defeating the second in the West, they will point the spearhead at the first place in the league!"

'N'Golo Kante: I'll be waiting for him in the box.'

"The Jazz are just 0.5 wins away from the Rockets! If the Jazz win their next game, they will replace the Rockets in the top eight in the West! ”

The next day, reports of the Jazz flooded out.

Since Jay's 10-11 season Jerry. Sloan, Delon. After Williams and others left, and the Iron Jazz were completely disbanded, the Jazz team has never attracted so much attention.

After all, the Jazz after the 10-11 season have become an out-and-out fish belly. And they don't have any players in the squad who are particularly noteworthy.

Today's jazz is no longer comparable to the 90s and early 21st century. So it won so much attention overnight, and even the Jazz players were a little unaccustomed to it.

When such a thing happens, the belly black Du is naturally unbearable. In an interview, he said, "Some people are proud when they win a game, but it's good that they can't be in the playoffs. ”

The "some" in Durant's mouth naturally refers to Kanter. However, the scolding does not name people, which is also very in line with Durant's character.

Can Durant not be angry? Yesterday's upset loss to the Jazz was enough to infuriate, and Kante was so arrogant after the game, which is undoubtedly rubbing salt in the wounds of the Thunder.

The Thunder have been upset by weak teams more than once this season, and they just lost to the Cavaliers a while ago. Well, he lost to the Jazz again.

Some media have said that the Thunder's inconsistent performance will cause them to still fail to win the championship this season.

In such a situation, Durant is naturally very angry. So, he couldn't help but go back.

After Durant responded, all eyes were on the Grizzlies.

Unlike Durant, Link was pointed out by Kant by name and provoked. Reporters believe that with Link's mouth, he will definitely make big news.

It's true that Link doesn't like to take the initiative to cause trouble. But the experience of the past three seasons has taught everyone that Link will never spare those who take the initiative to provoke him.

A few days ago, Morey's apology was still hot.

Salt Lake City, as the name suggests, got its name because of its proximity to the Great Salt Lake.

But unfortunately, in the city, there is no way to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Great Salt Lake.

In the streets of downtown Salt Lake City, the most distinctive thing you can see is the religious buildings one after another.

Salt Lake City is the center of the Mormon community, and when the city was founded, its inhabitants were almost entirely Mormons.

The Mormon Church, the Temple, the Museum of Modern Saints, and the city's tallest building, the 28-story Mormon Church office building, certainly don't stand out for the city.

If Link were to judge it, it seemed like a more boring city than Memphis. But don't people also say that what city raises what team?

At the beginning, Jerry. Sloan, Carl. Malone and Stockton, didn't they rely on "boring" blocking and dismantling to beat the whole league.

Of course, that was already a thing of the old sir's past. Now this "new" Jazz team has not inherited Jerry. Sloan's usual style.

The view from the window wasn't so appealing, so Link took a look back at how the Jazz had fared this season.

The Jazz have been similar to the Nuggets this season, believing in team-based offense. Defend? Naturally, it has also lost the toughness of the year.

In the last game, the Jazz were able to win against the Thunder, relying on offense. When a team plays a six-man double-double, and each of them is very efficient offense, even if your twin stars score 50 points, it will be in vain.

Although they rely on offense to eat, the Jazz don't have a particularly strong scorer. The "Yao Ming Killer" of the year. Jefferson is the Jazz's highest scorer per game this season, but only 17.4 points.

As a result, the Jazz's record this season is not very reliable. So far, 28-24, ranked ninth in the West.

However, compared to the previous two years, it is already a big improvement.

Ninth in the West, it's a very delicate ranking indeed. To put it bluntly, this kind of team didn't think far at all, because they couldn't go too far.

The only thing they want is to win the moment and try to make the playoffs!

The "Lotto Champion" is one of the most embarrassing rankings, neither making the playoffs nor getting a high pick. So, any team that finishes ninth, will want to go one step further and change their ranking.

Therefore, it is not difficult for Link to imagine how strong resistance the Grizzlies will face in the Energy Solutions Arena!

This resistance may even be more fierce than in the first two games against the Trail Blazers and Clippers!

When the Grizzlies' team bus arrived at the hotel, a group of reporters gathered outside the bus.

It seems that the role of the Jazz to defeat the Thunder has indeed attracted a lot of attention for them.

Thunder is really miserable.

As soon as they got off the bus, the reporters stretched out the microphones one after another. Local police and hotel security were on standby, using their bodies as walls to create a green path for the Grizzlies players.

Naturally, the local reporters were excited, after all, it had been a long, long time since Salt Lake City had hosted such a blockbuster competition.

Finally, there was a battle of focus, and the reporters couldn't be more excited.

And the next night in the arena, Link felt the enthusiasm of the Salt Lake City fans.

After all, the Jazz haven't made the playoffs for two years in a row. If you don't enter this year, it's the third year. As a long-standing powerhouse in the West, Jazz fans are naturally ? Accept the fact that the Jazz have not been able to make the playoffs for three years in a row.

So this year, the basketball market in Salt Lake City is booming like never before. Everyone wants to be with their teams and witness the whole process of returning to the playoffs.

"Link, you must not save your strength today. I know Gordon, don't look like a little otaku, in fact, he is very strong! Before the game began, Stevens highlighted Gordon to Link. The importance of Hayward.

Stevens did know Hayward, after all, he was his most proud disciple in college.

Hayward's initial draft was actually only in the early part of the second round, but because of following Stevens and Butler University all the way to create miracles, Hayward's draft ranking rose and finally entered the lottery range.

Although Hayward is a white forward, his physical ability is actually very good. If you look at Hayward's balls a lot, you'll even see that his style is a little bit like LeBron's. James!

Link nodded, of course he knew that Hayward was not easy to deal with. To be exact, the whole Jazz is not easy to deal with.

Millsap, Al. Jefferson, Hayward, Favors...... None of them are superstars, but they are all strong players.

Before the start of the game, Link gave a pre-match courtside interview to the media. As Link expected, reporters were eager to hear what Link had to say about Kante.

Even Durant, who has always been "good-tempered", couldn't help but curse, and fans were eager to hear what Link would scold.

As a result, Link was deliberately stunned for a few seconds after listening to the reporter's question.

"I'm sorry you said Ines. Canter? Oh, I can't remember who this man is. I don't know what he said. Did he ever make an All-Star? What the? Haven't even made it to the All-Star Rookie Game? Well, that's not to blame for my loneliness, he's really not famous. ”

Ten minutes later, Link's words reached Kantor's ears.

The Turk is so popular that his face is purple, and at the same time, he is also determined to make Link increase his memory!
