Eight Hundred and Seventeen: The Best Leader of the League?

The latest website: Link would never have imagined that the departure of Mike Miller and Nick Young would actually make him the object of discussion once again.

These two transfers, which have nothing to do with Lin Ke, have made the fans find some kind of connection.

So, one day in mid-July, a fan summed up all the discussions into an article and posted it on social media.

Subsequently, the article spread like a virus on social networks!

"When Nick Young joined the Grizzlies with the 'tumor' moniker, who would have thought he would land a $20 million contract in his career? People say that Mike Miller has played this season. He is about to retire, but he is still looted by various teams. Push the time forward again, Vasquez, Speights and other players, all because of playing in the Grizzlies, got what they wanted before. Unthinkable big contracts. Most of the players who came out of the Grizzlies have a higher value!"

"For now, let's focus on the players who haven't left Memphis yet. Jimmy Butler, a late first-round pick, but if he is on the free agency market now, his annual salary will definitely be more than Ten million. And Jordan Hamilton, who was drafted late in the first round with Butler? Does anyone remember this guy? He was long forgotten by the NBA!"

"Matthew Dellavedova, an undrafted, average-looking Australian point guard who doesn't seem to have any flashes. But he was the second point guard on a championship team last season, and he played well. Not bad. Now, there's no basketball fan out there who doesn't know Dellavedova."

"Having said so much, I just want to express one point - Link is a super good leader! Well, you may think it's ridiculous, why this article, which is clearly describing the Grizzlies role player, suddenly mentions To Link. In fact, this is the beginning of an article about Link. Those previous examples are just to set off Link's greatness."

"After LeBron went to Miami, obvious players like 'Dragon King' Bosh were completely reduced to tools without a sense of existence. Wherever Stephen Marbury went, there were disasters. When Howard was in Los Angeles, he directly destroyed Lost a giant. Not all star players can make their teammates better, but Link did it!"

"Almost every player who plays next to Link has become better than before. Whether it's Nick Young with a big contract, or Butler and Dellavedova coming back from the low pick. In Memphis Grizzlies, with Link, they have all achieved success. These players have taken completely different life trajectories before joining the Grizzlies and after joining the Grizzlies. It may not be enough for a star to win a Grand Slam of personal honor. To prove his leadership qualities. But a star can make everyone who comes to this team better, then he is undoubtedly a good leader! And Link,

Such a player! "

When Link saw this article, he smiled to himself. After being a professional player for so many years, this is the first time that I have seen such a hype about myself.

However, Link estimates that most of the comments below the article must be attacking himself, or complaining about the author of this article.

But surprisingly, most of the comments below the article agree with the author's point of view!

"A leader who can make everyone around him better is really rare in this era."

"Except for Guy and Mayo in the early days, you hardly heard of any teammates Link had had conflicts and scandals with."

"Almost all the players who have been transferred out have a high opinion of Link."

"Now, we may understand why Zach Randolph is willing to take a pay cut. Sometimes, a good team leader has an irresistible personality!"

"Hahaha, this article came out at the right time, it just slapped LeBron who was jumping around."

Link was stunned. He, who had been used to being a villain for a long time, suddenly became a decent guy, which caught him off guard.

Naturally, there were also scoldings of Link in the comment area, but this time, these scoldings of Link were completely drowned out by those compliments.

In an instant, the concept of "the best team leader" was fired all over the basketball world.

Link did not expect that he, who was scolded so badly during the season, would be "washed out" in the offseason.

But later Link discovered that this was not because the fans suddenly fell in love with him, but because it was all set off by his peers!

After James made his own decision 2.0, it was almost met with resistance from fans all over the world. Except for some diehard James fans, most people expressed disgust with James' approach.

Looking at it again, there has never been any trouble. Link, who renewed his contract with the Grizzlies on the first day of the transfer market this summer, is quite a stark contrast between the two.

Although the Grizzlies are the winner this year, fans also believe that even if the winner is replaced by the Heat, with Link's character, he will still renew his contract with the Grizzlies as soon as possible!

Link is a bit dumbfounded. No matter how hard he tried to maintain his image last season, he couldn't get rid of labels like "villain" and "bad guy".

This summer was good, I obviously did nothing, and was enjoying my vacation leisurely, but suddenly "turned positive".

Again, thank you for your support!

And Nick Young, who had clearly left Los Angeles, did not forget to give Link a "God Assist" after this incident.

Nick Young played in the Grizzlies for two years, and was the only player who didn't give Link any assists in those two years... But after he left, he "assisted" Link once instead.

"I saw the discussion, and I'm so happy that his greatness and excellence have finally been discovered. In fact, Link is indeed the greatest leader in this league. He always leads by example, always has the ability to squeeze all of us together Together. With Link, the Grizzlies practice hall is always full of energy. I will always love him and he will always be my brother."

Nick Young expressed his views on Link on social media, which undoubtedly added fuel to the fire and made Link even more fire!

The former teammates took the initiative to stand up to prove Link's greatness, which made Link's title of "great leader" completely solid.

Link is not used to seeing himself become a national idol now.

Of course, the title of "great leader" not only made Link a fan favorite, but also gave the Grizzlies some benefit in recruiting free agents.

When Vince Carter contacted the Grizzlies, he was very concerned about this matter, "I really want to see what I can do with Link."

"Trust me, Vince. Whether it's a veteran or a teenager, as long as you play next to Link, you are almost always reborn, even you. Those years in Orlando and Dallas made you fade out of people. Vision. But now, as long as you sign this contract, you'll get back everything you ever had. We need you, and Link needs you, Vince!"

Chris Wallace never imagined that one day, Link's leadership would become one of the conditions for the Grizzlies to attract free agents.

Carter was still a little hesitant about going to a place like Memphis, but when the topic of Link's leadership became hot, Carter was instantly attracted.

He really wanted to see what kind of magic Link had. He also wanted to see how good it would be to play next to Link.

Looking at the contract on the table, Carter raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "I'm very happy to be partnered with the best leader in the league."

An hour later, the Grizzlies officially announced that they had signed Vince Carter, a half-human half-god, for a three-year contract of 9 million, which was far below the market price.

Next season, the seasoned veteran is about to help Link move toward a three-peat. After signing Carter, the Grizzlies' operation this summer has basically come to an end, and their roster has been quite saturated. Unless there are special circumstances such as injuries, there is no need to make any further changes.

It is said that the Dallas Mavericks wanted to use a three-year, 12 million contract to keep Carter, but Carter refused.

However, people are not surprised.

"What else can I say? Link's charisma, of course, is bigger than the $3 million charisma."

Chris Wallace said proudly in an interview with reporters.
