One Thousand Two Hundred and Thirty-Nine: Don’t Be Discouraged Yet

The commercial was shot in Memphis because the league needed to shoot some street scenes in Memphis to show what Link's city looks like.

When a star becomes popular, it not only drives him and his team.

But together with that city, it will also become more and more attention-grabbing.

A very simple example, before Link appeared, the restaurants around FedEx Arena, even if they were high-quality and low-priced, could not attract many customers on game days.

In the past few years when Link has become popular, these restaurants are often full even if the prices are increased tenfold.

This small phenomenon is actually enough to illustrate the changes that Link has brought to the city.

When it comes to Link, Memphis is definitely an unavoidable factor.

Therefore, Luke Doncic arrived in Memphis one day before anyone else on the Mavericks team.

As soon as he saw Link, Doncic warmly opened his arms and hugged Link.

Doncic has always admired Link very much. To be precise, how many young people in this league dare to disrespect Link?

"I'm so glad to see you, Link! Come on, let's take a selfie and post it on social media!" After the hug, Doncic immediately took out his phone and prepared to take a selfie.

"Um..." Link is really not used to dealing with these young players. In the past, when he and James were filming commercials, there was no way the other party would suddenly take out their cell phones and take selfies at any time.

To be precise, Link had never seen James using his mobile phone in places without WIFI.

"Come on, many fans are waiting to see it!" Doncic put his arm around Link's shoulders and raised the phone without waiting for Link to agree.

"Are you sure, I only took one photo, not a hundred." Link asked carefully. He was really afraid of Dongcic.

"Of course, just one picture!" Doncic said and pressed ten consecutive shots...

Doncic was also very talkative in the car.

He told Link all the interesting things he encountered this season. This guy is completely familiar with it. Looking at his relationship with his Mavericks teammates, you can tell that he is definitely a social butterfly.

Cultural barriers after foreign players come to the United States? No,

In this generation of players, you basically don't see such problems anymore.

The shooting scene of the commercial was in a street court in Memphis. After arriving at the shooting scene of the commercial, the director began to explain the details of the commercial shooting to Link and Doncic.

Generally speaking, Link needs to dribble from the midfield, and then make a series of dazzling moves to reach outside the three-point line.

In the later stage, some special effects will be added to this section to include Link's opponents, creating a feeling that Link is really breaking through with the ball.

After passing the last person, Link should throw the ball directly into the air.

The camera then turned to Doncic. As his successor, he caught the basketball in the air and dunked it in.

At this point, the ad ends. Link's alley-oop pass to Doncic, allowing Doncic to dunk, means handing over the league to Doncic, highlighting the theme of inheritance.

The ad as a whole is very simple, at least much simpler than the Christmas war ad that used basketball to play Christmas songs.

Link still remembers that James always missed in the middle. As long as one person misses the mark in that commercial, the music will become incoherent and the entire commercial will have to be shot all over again.

Later, for the sake of advertising effect and to save time, the director directly canceled the part where James shoots.

On the last note, he just rushed out and dunked the ball in...

Thus, there was the classic Christmas war advertisement of that year.

Doncic looked at Link and nodded, indicating that he fully understood.

Then, the filming officially started.

Although Link is a forward, his dribbling movements are no worse than those of a defender, and he is very good-looking.

After passing a bunch of "opponents", Link passed the ball to Doncic as required.

Doncic leaps high, and his physical fitness is definitely the best among white people.

Many people say that Doncic's physical fitness is poor, and some Chinese fans even asked: "With the same physical fitness, why is Ding Yanyuhang not as good as Dongcic?"

First of all, Doncic's physical fitness is definitely underestimated. He is a power monster with terrifying core strength and strong resistance.

Although the speed is not top-notch, breaking through during confrontation can basically ensure that the movements are not deformed.

You know, Doncic is still so young, and he still has a lot of room for improvement physically in the future.

Secondly, Doncic's jumping and speed may not be the best in the league, but they are not even close to being bad.

You can't say that he can't jump as high as LaVine or run as fast as Wall. His running and jumping ability is just scumbag.

Although people already have high praise for Doncic, Link believes that he is still an underestimated young man.

"boom!"

When Link was stunned, Doncic had already smashed the ball into the frame.

He looks handsome, plays well, and is funny. It's no wonder Doncic is so popular now.

"It's great, that's how it feels! Next time, let's do it with more power!"

The advertising director laughed happily. They are indeed two super geniuses, and they are also geniuses in shooting advertisements.

After several times, the commercial was basically shot.

Link and Doncic rested for a while and chatted again on the sidelines of the basketball court.

At this time, a crowd of fans had gathered around the street court on three levels inside and three outside.

They always cheer from time to time. After all, Link and Doncic are almost the two most popular stars in the league now.

Doncic always greeted reporters from time to time, and every time he waved to the crowd, there was a scream.

"I didn't expect that I was so popular in Memphis." After Doncic caused the crowd to scream again, he poked Link with his elbow as if to show off.

"Tch, you're called popular now? How about we make a bet?" Link raised the corner of his mouth. It was time to teach the young man a lesson.

"Oh? What kind of bet?"

"We will go out together later. Look how many people surround you. As long as the number of people surrounding you is more than half of mine, I will count you as the winner."

"Hahahaha, what's the benefit of me winning?" Dongcic smiled. He didn't expect Link to be so playful.

That's because Doncic didn't stay with the Grizzlies, otherwise he would know what a popcorn traffic jam is every minute.

When it comes to being playful and noisy, the Memphis Grizzlies are definitely the best in the league.

"Benefits? You really think you can win. Well, if you win, I will consider giving you three goals tomorrow."

"Hahahaha, okay, I will do what I said." Doncic stood up confidently and smoothed his hair.

Although this is Link's home court, Doncic believes that with his popularity and charm, there won't be even half as many people coming to him for autographs as Link!

Link also stood up with a teasing smile.

Doncic is still young!

The two walked towards the outside of the stadium as the fans screamed louder and louder.

Doncic had already started to wink at a few fans, and he also took out a pen from his pants pocket and was about to start signing autographs.

But the moment Doncic stepped out of the court, the crowd suddenly moved to the other side, so crowded that Doncic almost fell down.

When he regained his balance, he found that there was no one in front of him!

All the fans gathered around Link.

"???"

Doncic looked confused. It was so embarrassing. There was no one there! ?

It is said that Link has a great influence in Memphis, but this is too big!

At this moment, a little boy who looked to be only two or three years old walked up to Doncic.

Doncic almost cried, and finally a fan came up to him.

Doncic squatted down and was about to give the little boy an autograph when a middle-aged man suddenly rushed out and picked up the child: "Link is over there, you got the wrong person, silly boy!"

Doncic turned to look at the little boy who was taken away by his father, and suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing through him.

So true!

So, Doncic watched Link sign autographs for the fans for a full half hour.

In the end, security personnel came forward and the fans dispersed.

Link looked at Doncic, who was sitting alone in the court, and made a scissor hand gesture.

"How's it going? How many signed?" Link also sat next to Doncic and patted him on the shoulder.

"0.5. Just when I was about to sign, the child was taken away."

"That doesn't count. Maybe the kid didn't know who Link was and who Doncic was, so he went in the wrong direction." Link wouldn't comfort Doncic, he was here to make a last-ditch kill!

Doncic glanced at Link and felt like he had been hurt ten thousand times.

"Okay, don't be so discouraged, kid." Link said, staring at the sky thoughtfully, as if thinking back to his time as a rookie.

Doncic swallowed. Could it be that Link was about to start giving him chicken soup?

Say something nice like "Boy, don't give up"?

Doncic is looking forward to it. What young man wouldn’t want Link’s encouragement!

As a result, Link looked at the sky and said leisurely: "It's too early to be discouraged now. There will be something more devastating than this in tomorrow night's game."

"puff!"

Doncic almost lost his seat. Sure enough, even if he is about to retire, Link is still the number one villain.

The kind that can't be washed clean.
