Six Hundred and Seventy-Five: High-Standard Treatment (Four/Five)
What is the most classic picture left of the Grizzlies-Lakers game?
Link deducted Gasol? Kobe rolled over on Link's head? Or "Lakers cornerstone" Thackeray exaggeratedly waving a towel?
neither.
In the last few minutes of the fourth quarter, the photo of Link pulling Kobe Bryant off the ground was one of the most beloved shots of the game.
Countless fans compared the photos of Link pulling Kobe Bryant and Kobe pulling Jordan together, and found that the history is so similar.
The Grizzlies' victory over the Lakers is also equivalent to proving to people that everything is OK for the defending champion.
Losing to the Thunder doesn't mean the Grizzlies will collapse all the way.
As for Link...even a guy like Bill Simmons who can smack people as an art can't be too picky about a player who hits 45 points in a game.
At 21-1, the Memphis Grizzlies are back on track. However, that loss was somewhat irritating. Link was surprisingly calm when asked if he "would be upset about the loss to the Thunder."
"It's really annoying that the undefeated golden body is broken by the Thunder, but it doesn't mean that the Thunder team has won a real victory. To be honest, the loss of that game will not have any impact on me. In the end, who will have the last laugh, It also depends on the competition in the playoffs. Even if the Thunder can win us 10 times in the regular season, it will not make any difference. You see, don’t we feel good in our hearts?”
Kobe pouted, this guy Link is really shameless when he talks nonsense.
If the loss against the Thunder really didn't affect Link at all, Link would not have been so angry yesterday.
This kid is so bad!
It looks like it doesn't matter on the surface, but it is estimated that in my heart, I have killed Durant thousands of times!
In any case, this match with Kobe and Kobe's attitude towards Link after the game made Link attract countless fans. It seems that Kobe decided that Link was the next disciple to take over his own control of the league.
To this end, Link's popularity continues to soar. He believes that after the results of the second round of All-Star voting come out, he will still be able to hold the top spot.
At that time, Link was very much looking forward to how Bill Simmons would respond.
After the battle with the Lakers, the Grizzlies swept away the previous haze and began to kill in the league again.
The Timberwolves and Pelicans were the first to suffer.
Not to mention the Timberwolves, Kevin Love once again scored 30 points, 9 rebounds and 3 blocks, and the Timberwolves lost again without any suspense. The VIP member of the Air Chop Club is none other than Love.
The Pelicans, on the other hand, had a great game against the Grizzlies early in the season. But a few days ago, Anthony Davis was injured again, which made the prospects of the Pelicans less optimistic.
Without Anthony Davis, the Pelicans naturally lost their only fulcrum against the Grizzlies. Therefore, the second meeting between the two sides this season is far from exciting, and the Grizzlies won easily.
After the game with the Pelicans, the Grizzlies have achieved a proud record of 23 wins and 1 loss. It's almost 2014, but there is still no team that can shake the Grizzlies' status.
Link was winning almost all the time, not even losing the gamble with Jordan.
The better the Grizzlies are now, the happier the league is. Because the more the Grizzlies win, the more the fans can't wait to know, "Whether the Miami Heat can continue to compete with the Grizzlies."
And the answer to this question will be revealed in the Christmas battle carefully prepared by the alliance!
The Grizzlies' recent outstanding results have made this Christmas battle extraordinarily high-profile.
That's right, on December 25th, in the traditional NBA Christmas battle, the Memphis Grizzlies finally appeared!
This is the first time the Grizzlies have participated in the Christmas battle in the history of the Grizzlies, and their opponent in the Christmas battle is the "old friend" Miami Heat in last season's finals!
After the game with the Pelicans, the NBA officially announced the short-sleeved jerseys used by the teams in this Christmas game. The Grizzlies' short-sleeved jerseys were snapped up as soon as they were released, especially the No. 0 one, which has now topped the jersey sales list!
The jersey sales of James, Durant and Kobe are all under Link at this time!
Tickets for the Christmas fight have been sold out, even though the average ticket price is almost five times the usual price!
**The usual five times more expensive tickets, this kind of thing was unimaginable in a small market like Memphis before. Once, the Memphis government proposed a policy of exchanging weapons for tickets, and there were often empty seats in the Federal Express Arena.
But now, the Grizzlies ** usually five times more expensive tickets, has been madly grabbed by fans.
The NBA officially defined this game as the focus of the Christmas game. A week in advance, ESPN was already doing a special program for this game.
This lively atmosphere made fans use the title of "the most high-profile Christmas battle in history" in the game between the Grizzlies and the Heat that has not yet started.
And all of this is because of the Grizzlies' 23 wins and 1 loss, all because of Link's incredible performance. On Christmas Day, of course, people want to see the best teams play against the most high-profile teams. Want to see the best players, against the best players.
Now that even the blind can see what Link can bring to the league, it can be said that without Link, this year's Christmas fight would be quite bleak.
Link still remembers that in the original history, the Grizzlies did not participate in this Christmas game. The Heat's opponent is the Los Angeles Lakers.
As a result, because of Kobe's re-injury, the highlight of the Christmas battle between the Lakers and the Heat eventually became tasteless. ESPN had to put Nick Young on the billboard, but who would want to watch Nick Young play against James on Christmas Day?
Therefore, that year's Christmas battle was simply a scene of a rollover in ratings, and the league almost didn't cry.
However, in this history, because of Link's existence, the Christmas battle that had no sense of existence at first has been transformed into the most high-profile Christmas battle in history.
Link didn't have much feeling for this game. It would be nice if the Grizzlies could play the Thunder on Christmas Day. In this way, Link can give back double what Durant did.
But the opponent is the Miami Heat? To be honest, Link just wanted to treat this game with a normal heart.
It is not a happy thing to have to work overtime without a holiday for Christmas.
Now, it's a week before the Christmas fight, but the league is already building momentum for the night.
On the 18th, Link was notified by the league that it was necessary for Link and other superstars to gather in New York to shoot a promotional advertisement for the Christmas battle.
Link can't refuse to shoot an advertisement for the official league. So, I can only go to New York single-handedly.
But throughout the trip, Link didn't feel tired at all. Because the Alliance has managed almost everything for Link, the treatment he received is all the highest standard!
Private charter for the flight, with the entire crew serving Link. When he arrived in New York, a staff member picked him up immediately, but Link didn't wait even a second.
The hotel is next to the NBA headquarters, next to the Olympic Tower at 645 Fifth Avenue in New York.
The league has arranged for Link a 24-hour assistant, who can be contacted at any time if there is anything.
After this set, Link was a little confused. Is this Nima here to shoot an advertisement or to be an emperor? It's not that Link did not shoot official advertisements for the league before, but he has never had this kind of treatment!
Link didn't think about it anymore. It was probably because he was famous and the treatment he received was different?
As a result, Link got the answer early the next morning.
Early in the morning, Link had just finished the breakfast delivered by the waiter and was preparing for the afternoon commercial shooting. Just then, Link's phone rang.
Caller ID is a pass number, which means that the call is an unfamiliar number. After Link answered the phone, a middle-aged man's voice came.
"Hi Link, I'm John Newell, the NBA's chief advisor. Are you still used to it in New York? Is there anything wrong with it?"
Link was stunned, what's going on? Are the chief advisors of the alliance concerned about their own lives?
"I'm fine, thank you for your concern."
"Then I'm relieved, that's it, Link. If you have time, I'd like to speak to you individually on behalf of the league before the ad shoot. To be precise, we have one thing we want to ask of you."
Chief advisor, on behalf of the entire alliance, do you have something to ask yourself?
Link is now the second monk and can't figure it out, so he can only politely agree first.
