Six Hundred and Eighty-Four: To Choose a Pair of Beautiful Stockings

Early the next morning, Link, as always, was the third to arrive at the training hall.

Jimmy Butler came first, Dellavedova second, and Link was always third.

The order of attendance of these three people will not change almost every day.

After the coaching staff and other staff were all present, Link couldn't wait to walk into the head coach's office.

When Link walked in, he found Jogel looking at a report. Undoubtedly, that was Link's physical assessment report during this period.

"How is it? Dave?" Link excitedly sat down at Joger's desk. As long as this was over, he could completely shut Bill Simmons' stinky mouth.

Jogel didn't answer, but sighed. Then, continue to read the report with a frown.

"Tsk, how could this be..." While watching, Joger expressed a similar emotion.

Link began to panic, could it be that something really went wrong with his body? Should not be!

After five long minutes, Dave Jogel put down the report and took off his glasses. He clasped his fingers on the table, showing a serious expression.

"Link."

"Go ahead, Dave."

"Unfortunately......"

"Hey, forget it, the game is important." Link waved his hand, feeling a little disappointed.

"I mean, it's a shame, next year's All-Star Weekend, you might have one less day off. The report says you're in great shape and Judy is taking good care of you. You can go to the slam dunk contest. , Link, go and fly."

Link's expression changed from disappointment to excitement in less than a second. At that moment, what Link wanted to do most was to punch Joger in the face with an old punch.

Well, I didn't learn it, I learned to talk and go around in circles!

But having said that, with the help of Judy Seto, the "secret weapon", Link's physical condition this season is indeed very good. Not to mention, even the feeling of fatigue is much less than before.

To participate in a slam dunk contest with such excellent physical condition,

Surely no problem.

Link picked up the report and rushed out of the office, and immediately called Newell.

Newell screamed on the phone when he heard that Link had decided to enter the dunk contest. In addition, Link also heard a scolding from Newell's wife on the phone, "Did you take the wrong medicine again!?"

"Great, Link! Thank you so much! The slam dunk contest is saved, the 2014 All-Star Game is saved! I will announce the news now, and everyone will be shocked!"

Newell was very emotional. An MVP-level player participated in a slam dunk contest, which has not happened in many years.

Moreover, this is also the first time in NBA history that a Chinese player has participated in the slam dunk contest. Facts have proved that Chinese Americans are not only able to do technical work in the NBA. Chinese people can do things like flying and escaping!

However, Newell's proposal was rejected by Link, "No, can you please not announce this matter for a while?"

"Ah? But...why? This has to be announced sooner or later."

"I know, but I want to announce it myself. Don't worry, John. I'll announce the decision after tonight's game with Space City."

Link didn't want to give the chance to surprise that bastard Bill Simmons to others.

John Newell agreed to Link's insignificant request, and then he waited for the good news.

※※※

The Christmas war is over, but the Christmas break continues. Therefore, the NBA league still arranges some blockbuster matchups to rush to the ratings.

So after the Christmas war, the Grizzlies met their old rival, the Aerocity Legion.

When the two sides met a month ago, the Grizzlies had a 15-game winning streak, tying the Rockets' record for the longest winning streak that year.

But now, that record has been rewritten by the Grizzlies to start a 20-game winning streak. The Houston Rockets will no longer be able to appear on the No. 1 throne in history.

The two sides have had long-standing grudges, and today is just another collision of these grudges.

Today's game will be played in Houston, and Dwight Howard said confidently before the game, "I won't let Link do whatever he wants in the restricted area of ​​Toyota Center, because this is my home court. Pull rod after rebound? Dunk? Link feel free to try."

The Rockets smashed the Spurs in the Christmas game, which seemed to make Howard a little inflated. He seemed to have forgotten who made him dizzy last time with a superb dream dance move under the basket.

As soon as the game started, Howard's cowhide was blown. Because the Grizzlies scored for the first time at the Toyota Center tonight, it was a dunk from Link.

In the first round of offense, Link took advantage of Gasol's cover to break through. Howard chased after Link, but Link's acceleration ability made Howard a little powerless.

In the end, Link completed a one-handed fly dunk without hindrance.

Don't let Link do whatever he wants in the restricted area? clap clap clap!

Link dunked as soon as the game opened, and the fans at the Toyota Center fell silent. Link is in good shape today, and the Rockets are hanging by a thread today.

In subsequent games, Link also frequently performed dunks. Today, Link will never treat any ball that can be dunked gently, and will not waste a single one.

The fans enjoyed it very much, and later even the Rockets fans were mobilized to cheer Link's dunk several times.

When the home fans cheered for the away players, it proved there was not much to see in this game.

"Link has a strong desire to dunk today and is very expressive. If he can participate in the dunk contest, I think fans should be able to enjoy an unprecedented visual feast." Van Gundy, who explained the game, was excited by Link. stand up.

"But it's not realistic. There are almost no big-name stars willing to participate in the dunk contest. Like Bill Simmons said, players of this level like Link and LeBron are just talking, not really participating." Van Gundy His partner pouted, wanting to see Link participate in the slam dunk contest, but he probably won't be able to wait in his lifetime.

Under Link's brutal devastation and Randolph's stunning low-post performance, the Grizzlies defeated the Houston Rockets for the second time this season, 109-100.

Facing the young Terrence Jones, Randolph blasted a large double-double with 23 points and 17 rebounds, venting his grievances against James in the previous game.

Link also scored a double-double of 24 points, 8 assists and 11 rebounds. His dunks made Howard very embarrassed.

The good mood of Houstonians during Christmas was destroyed in an instant. The worst thing was watching a fucking game and having to go through a fretful traffic jam to get home.

No way, who left Houston without a subway?

After the game, the reporter naturally talked about the dunks that Link showed many times today.

"Link, can you tell me why you're so excited today? You haven't had more dunks in a game before this. Is it because you're facing the Rockets? It's because Dwight Howard before the game. provocation to you?"

"No, in fact, I don't care what Dwight Howard said before the game at all. What I did today has nothing to do with Dwight." Link spread his hand and inadvertently gave Howard another critical blow.

"I just want to say, that bastard Bill Simmons better pick a nice pair of stockings right now. Because, I've decided I'm going to the 2014 New Orleans All-Star Game Slam Dunk Contest! By then, I hope Simmons can As agreed, wait for me at the scene wearing women's clothes. Now, you have nowhere to run, bastard!"

After Link finished speaking, the reporter also smiled, he thought Link was joking.

Ten minutes later, the league officials conveniently announced the name of the first player to participate in the slam dunk contest.

And then, basketball fans all over the world climaxed.
