Five Hundred and Ten: He Is Really Not Famous

From what Link knows about Kante, he is indeed the type of player who likes a big mouth.

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

Judging from the current situation, Kanter's big mouth attribute was actually there from the beginning. No, in an interview, both the Thunder and the Grizzlies were ridiculed over and over. By the way, he also provoked Link.

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

Is Kanter an athlete at the level of James and Durant? of course not. But Kanter didn't care at all, as long as he sprayed hard.

Of course, this guy is not just a black person. He also publicly supports his favorite players or teams, and generally speaking, he has a clear love-hate relationship. And whether it's love or hate, he will express his views unabashedly.

This kind of character 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 has naturally attracted much attention, and the Jazz indeed defeated the Thunder last night, which undoubtedly increased the popularity of Kanter's interview video.

"The Utah Jazz are not afraid of strong enemies. After defeating the second in the west, they will directly target the first in the league!"

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

"The Jazz are only 0.5 games away from the Rockets! If the Jazz win the next game, they will replace the Rockets and reach the top eight in the Western Conference!"

The next day, reports about the Jazz poured in like a flood.

Since the 10-11 season when Jerry Sloan, Deron Williams and others left, and the Jazz disbanded completely, the Jazz have never attracted so much attention.

After all, after the 10-11 season, the Jazz has become an out-and-out belly. And they don't have any players who deserve special attention.

The jazz of today is no longer comparable to that of the 1990s and early 2000s. So it won so much attention overnight that even the Jazz players are not used to it.

When such a thing happened, the black-bellied Du was naturally unbearable. In an interview, he said, "Some people are complacent when they win a game, but fortunately such people can't appear in the playoffs.

"

The "some people" in Durant's mouth naturally refers to Kanter. However, scolding people without naming names is also very in line with Durant's character.

Can Durant be angry? Yesterday's upset loss to the Jazz was enough. Kanter was so arrogant after the game, which undoubtedly rubbed salt on the Thunder's wound.

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

The outside world has already said that the Thunder's unstable performance will cause them to still not be able to win the championship this season.

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

After Durant responded, all eyes were on the Grizzlies.

Unlike Durant, Link was provocatively pointed out by Cante by name. The reporters believed that with Link's mouth, he would definitely be able to make big news.

Indeed, Link did not like to take the initiative to cause trouble. But the experience of the past three seasons tells everyone that Link will never forgive those who take the initiative to provoke him.

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

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

But it is a pity that in the urban area, it is impossible to aim at the beauty of the Great Salt Lake.

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

Salt Lake City is the central city of Mormons. When the city was built, almost all the residents were Mormons.

The Mormon Church, the Temple, the Museum of Modern Saints, and the 28-story Mormon Church Office Building, the tallest building in the city, undoubtedly do not highlight the characteristics of the city.

For Link's assessment, this seems to be a more boring city than Memphis. But don't people also say that what city raises what team.

At the beginning, Jerry Sloan, Karl Malone and Stockton played all over the league by relying on "boring" pick-and-rolls.

Of course, that was already a past event that belonged to the old jazz. Now this "new" jazz has not inherited the consistent style of Jerry Sloan.

The scenery outside the window was not attractive enough, so Link reviewed the situation of the Jazz this season in his mind again.

Similar to the Nuggets this season, the Jazz believe in a team offense. Defense? Naturally, the toughness of the year has also been lost.

The last game the Jazz could win over the Thunder was on offense. When a team has 6 players scoring in double figures, and each of them is very efficient offense, even if your Gemini combined to score 50 points, it is wasted effort.

Although relying on offense to eat, the Jazz do not have a particularly powerful scorer. The "Yao Ming Killer" Al Jefferson was the Jazz's highest scoring player this season, but it was only 17.4 points.

Therefore, the Jazz record this season is not very reliable. Played so far, 28 wins and 24 losses, ranking ninth in the Western Conference.

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

Ninth in the West, this is indeed a very delicate ranking. To put it bluntly, this kind of team didn’t think far at all, because they couldn’t get far if they thought too far.

All they want is to win the moment and get into the playoffs!

The "lottery champion" is the most embarrassing ranking, neither making it to the playoffs nor getting a high draft pick. So, any team that ranks ninth will want to go a step further and change its ranking.

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

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

When the Grizzlies team bus arrived at the hotel, there was a dark crowd of reporters outside the bus.

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

Thunder is really bad.

As soon as they got off the bus, the reporters extended their microphones one after another. Local police and hotel security guards stood by, using their bodies as walls to open a green passage for the Grizzlies players.

The local reporters are naturally very excited. After all, Salt Lake City has not hosted such a big game for a long time.

There is finally a battle of focus, and the reporters should not say how excited they are.

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

After all, the Jazz haven't made the playoffs for two straight years. If you don't enter this year, it will be the third year. As the Western Conference has always been a powerhouse, Jazz fans naturally? Accept the fact that the Jazz failed to reach the playoffs for three consecutive years.

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

"Link, you must not preserve your strength today. I know Gordon, don't look at him like a little otaku, but he is actually very strong!" Before the start of the game, Stevens emphasized Gordon Haiti to Link. The importance of Ward.

Stevens did know Hayward, after all, he was his favorite student in college.

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

Although Hayward is a white forward, his physical confrontation ability is actually very good. If you watch Hayward's ball a lot, you'll even find his style a bit like LeBron James!

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

Millsap, Al Jefferson, Hayward, Favors... They are not superstars, but they are all powerful players.

Before the start of the game, Link accepted a pre-match courtside interview with the media. As Link expected, reporters couldn't wait to hear what Link had to say about Kanter.

Even Durant, who has always been "good-tempered", couldn't help cursing. Fans wanted to hear what Link would say.

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

"I'm sorry, you mean Ines Kanter? Oh, I can't remember who this guy is. I don't know what he said. Did he make an All-Star? What? Not even an All-Star rookie game. Entered? Well, it's no wonder I'm ignorant, he's really not famous."

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

Turk was so popular that his face turned purple, and at the same time he was determined to make Link's memory up!
