One Thousand Two Hundred and Eleven: I Really Can’t Bear It Anymore

ESPN aired this program in prime time. After all, Link's influence made ESPN not worry about ratings at all.

There is no program that attracts more attention than the talk show that Link participated in.

Stephen A. Smith, who hosts this show, is also a very talkative guy. He and Link talked a lot, and most of them talked about important issues that fans want to know.

For example, at the beginning of the program, Stephen A. Smith asked Link: "Why did you only renew your contract with the Grizzlies for one year this summer? Is it because you have no confidence in the Memphis Grizzlies?"

As soon as this question came out, the number of views of the show instantly increased.

"Of course not. I will definitely retire with the Grizzlies. This is the only thing I can tell you." Link smiled, and there can't be any explanation for this kind of thing.

Otherwise, the more you draw, the darker it gets.

"So, what do you think of Dwight Howard joining the Grizzlies? Did the Grizzlies management inform you before signing the contract?" The second question is still exciting.

Many people want to know what Link will think of Howard joining the Grizzlies.

After all, that is his mortal enemy.

Now, Link will answer this question without thinking in front of the camera.

"In fact, I was there when Dwight was interviewing and working out."

The reporters thought that Link would say nice things, but little did they know that he also revealed such a breaking news without reservation!

Sure enough, this kind of program is only interesting if stars who can afford it participate!

"What!? You mean, you and Dwight have been meeting each other since the beginning?"

"certainly."

"You didn't swing your elbows at each other on the training field?" Stephen A. Smith joked with an exaggerated expression.

"No, probably not anymore. Dwight's attitude has been very different and we had a compelling and touching meeting."

Now, the fans were even more confused.

Touching? How touching?

What exactly did Howard say during the interview? This will become another unsolved mystery in NBA history.

Afterwards, Stephen A. Smith also asked many questions related to the Grizzlies' summer personnel changes.

For example, how do you view the departure of young players, what are your expectations for Rose, etc.

Link's answer also satisfied the fans' curiosity. He did not hide it, but spoke out his true thoughts one by one.

In this way, the program went smoothly to the end.

Stephen A. Smith also asked a very standard closing question.

"Last question, Link. What are your expectations for the team next season? In other words, what are your goals?"

This question seems simple, but it is very important.

After all, the Grizzlies were the defending champions last season, but they changed most of their team this summer.

If the goal is set too low, you will be said to have no confidence.

Set it too high, and it would be a shame if you can't complete it in the future.

Many fans thought that Link's answer would be: "At least the Western Conference Finals."

This more compromise answer is the safest.

However, Link stared at the camera confidently and said a few words calmly: "Four consecutive championships."

Without hesitation, speak out with confidence.

It's as if Link doesn't know that the Grizzlies have changed half the team.

The All-Star Dinwiddie was replaced by Rose.

Harris, who was at the top salary level, was replaced by brothers Green and Morris.

Harrell, who was highly regarded by both fans and experts, was replaced by Howard, who was shouted at by everyone.

Conley and Gasol are one year older, and Randolph and Tony Allen have retired.

Just like that, Link still wants to win four consecutive championships?

Link was calm, but no one else was.

Link's expression didn't look like he was joking, and for a moment Stephen A. Smith didn't know how to end it.

Stephen A. Smith and Link have a good personal relationship, so they will definitely not refute or ridicule on the spot.

But even he must admit that this goal is too difficult!

"You are still exactly the same, Link. Four consecutive championships, this is something no one has been able to achieve in modern times. Now there are 30 teams in the NBA, and there are four rounds of playoffs, and each round is a best-of-seven game. Under such rules, no one has ever won four consecutive championships." Stephen A. Smith reminded Link of the difficulty of four consecutive championships.

"Of course I know, so this is something that only grizzly bears can do." However, Link was still "unrepentant" and continued to go his own way.

After the show ended, sure enough, the whole network exploded.

This is the first time that Link has openly stated his goal of four consecutive championships in front of everyone. However, this kind of thing is not acceptable to everyone.

Most people don't think Link is confident. Instead, they think Link is being stubborn and unwilling to admit the fact that the grizzly bears are beginning to decline.

After all, even the greatest "god" has only achieved three consecutive championships twice.

Link may be able to surpass Jordan in other things. He may be able to break the 72-win record. He may be able to achieve three consecutive MVP awards.

But when it comes to consecutive championships, no one thinks Jordan can be defeated.

Sam Smith was the first to stand up and laugh at Link: "He is really an ignorant bastard."

"Next season is likely to be the most competitive season in the NBA in the past ten years! In the Western Conference, the top eight teams are very difficult to deal with! Is it possible that Link really thinks that Howard can still perform like a superstar?"

"And, in addition to the Western Conference, this year's Eastern Conference is not weak at all. In the past few years, there has been a saying that whoever wins the Western Conference Championship is equivalent to winning the championship."

"But it's different now. Even if Link really makes it out of the Western Conference by chance, he may not be able to defeat the Eastern Conference team in the finals. More than a month ago, he just had a hard-fought six games with the Raptors. And next season, the Eastern Conference team will The team will only be more difficult than this year’s Raptors!”

"If Link really achieves four consecutive championships, I will personally congratulate him, really. But this kind of thing will never happen. You will never see me personally congratulating Link in this life."

Sam Smith posted this social media update almost the moment the show ended. It was so timely, as if he was there.

In order to blackmail Link, he probably kept an eye on Link 24 hours a day, and he probably didn't care that much about his wife.

But soon, another, more popular social media update emerged.

This was a response from Link, and it was a very rough and tough response.

It’s been a long time since people have seen Link being so insulting on social media.

"Shut up, don't you understand? Why do you blame me for everything? You signed the contract with Rose, and you did the same thing on my last show."

"Don't worry, I don't need your congratulations. After all, Mr. President Adam Joke and Michael have already lined up to give me the award. You don't even have the qualifications to queue up! I will never be able to do it? Sorry, There's nothing I can't do, just because I'm Link, understand!?"

Link couldn't bear it anymore. He kept telling himself to be a gentle person and set a good example for his daughter.

Since the birth of his daughter, Link has indeed become much gentler than before.

But Sam Smith is totally trying to get his nose in the face!

This kind of person is shameless.

Jordan had said earlier that if Link could win four consecutive championships, he would personally present the award to Link.

Therefore, Sam Smith is nothing in Link's eyes.

Link doesn't want to see any famous reporter at all.

It was also the first time for Sam Smith to be criticized like this, and his face turned green with anger. No player had ever spoken to him like that, not even Jordan!

Link's response made Sam Smith feel extremely humiliated, but he didn't know how to fight back. Because Link's language was so cruel, he was instantly stunned.

Stephen A. Smith, who had just finished recording the show with Link, silently gave a thumbs up after seeing Link’s posts.

This link from Link will definitely piss off a lot of people, but this is Link.

Without the courage to fight against the world, how could Link live so happily in this cruel alliance?

As soon as the goal of four consecutive championships and Link's news came out, the new season will definitely become popular even without publicity.

Whether it is a joke or a miracle, no one wants to witness it with their own eyes.

In this decade, let’s see if Link can rule until the end.
