Two Hundred and Seventy-Five: The Most Special Star Showdown
In the afternoon, the training hall of the FedEx Arena was very lively and the atmosphere was very happy.
Yesterday, Link just scored 10 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists, 5 steals, and 3 blocks. Today, Marc Gasol was selected to the Western Conference All-Star team. The Grizzlies are a double happiness, so everyone was in a good mood during the afternoon practice.
The Memphis media are naturally very proud. Previously, the Grizzlies had only two All-Star players, Paul Gasol and Randolph. Among them, Big Gasol also left the Lakers and failed to become the symbol of the Grizzlies. And Randolph is a halfway entry, not the Grizzlies' own training.
But Link and Pau Gasol are all-star players that the Grizzlies cultivated themselves! Although Link has the identity of a veteran of the Rockets, most people do not feel that the experience in the Rockets has helped Link much.
Although Gasol was acquired by the Grizzlies from the Lakers, he has played for the Grizzlies since the first day he entered the league.
Previously, there were only two All-Stars in team history. Now, with two guys making the All-Star Game in one fell swoop, can the Memphis media be proud?
Link and Jr. Gasol have almost become the full-name idols of Memphis City, and Jeff Austin's mouth is about to laugh. Why? Because Link and Pau Gasol are both his clients!
Suddenly there are two more All-Star-level clients under his hands. If you call Austin, he is willing to go to Guoben now.
Link and Jr. Gasol were both selected as All-Stars, which can be said to be a happy event, which directly resulted in a win-win situation.
Austin even arranged for Nike staff to shoot a set of posters for Link and Gasol that night. It can be said that the action is quite fast. As long as there is commercial value, Jeff Austin will seize it as soon as possible.
Little Gasol originally wanted to shave his beard like a tramp before taking pictures, but was caught by Link, and the Spaniard's plan to shave his beard was ruined again...
As a result, Link and Gasol, both with full-chin beards, completed their first All-Star group photo together.
After shooting the posters in the evening, Austin took two of his clients to a rooftop bar. Austin in a good mood ordered a cocktail for himself, while Link and Pau Gasol, two big guys with beards and bursts of male hormones, only had a glass of juice in front of each of them...
"It's incredible, congratulations! Although I've been saying this all day,
But I still want to congratulate you. You are my pride, the Grizzlies' pride, and the pride of all of Memphis! "Jeff Austin raised his glass excitedly, and Link and Pau Gasol happily picked up the juice and bumped into their manager.
The strength is recognized and the money is made, who will not be happy?
"By the way, what's going on with the Grizzlies recently? Why is everyone growing a beard, are you participating in some charity event? Link, you're not suitable for a beard, it makes you look too old. Mark, you look good with a beard, but it's too long, it's almost catching up with James Harden!"
"Pfft!" Hearing Jeff Austin ask, Link almost spit out a mouthful of juice.
Little Gasol turned his head and looked down at the night view of Memphis from a high altitude, with tears in his eyes.
Quite a bit of "why are there tears in my eyes, because I love this land so deeply".
"There's no reason, we just made a collective bet. If all goes well, after the regular season, all of us will look at least three or four years younger. For Mark, it's probably ten years younger, hahahahaha!"
"I shouldn't have participated in this gamble in the first place, really." Little Gasol shook his head helplessly, no way, who made his hair grow at a terrible rate.
Originally, Pau Gasol had long hair and a beard like his brother. If you have a pair of sunglasses and a motorcycle, it's really too punk.
"By the way Link, do you know Jeremy Lin? He seems to be on fire lately, even more dramatic than when you turned out last season. He only played nine before scoring 25 points against the Nets. He played only 55 minutes in a game, and he was not the point guard planned by the Knicks. Jeremy Lin was just a point guard picked up from the Houston Rockets' abandonment list, and in a few days he's not going to be a point guard. Guaranteed contract is coming to an end. As a result, he made a name for himself. At the end of the game against the Nets, the whole Madison Square Garden was shouting his name. Yesterday, the Knicks played against the Jazz, and he scored 28 in his first start. +8 data, and then it was revealed that he could only sleep on the sofa of his teammates' house because he had no money, this is the script of a Hollywood sane movie!" Jeff Austin suddenly remembered another Asian who is popular in the United States today. player, so he chatted with Link and Gasol Jr.
"Uh... Another rocket abandonment..." Link was speechless, how could the rocket always be able to wade into this muddy water.
"When you say that...it seems to be true. Although he was cut by the Warriors before, he did play for the Rockets before the Knicks became famous..." Austin also found that Morey The face is dark enough.
"I don't know him, and I haven't had much contact with him before. Although we are both Chinese, we don't know each other in private. But I don't think his miracle will stop there." Link looked at the juice in the glass , the more it looks like the main color of the Knicks.
"Do you really think so? In the next game, the Knicks will face the Wizards. The Chinese with the same surname as you will face the No. 1 pick Wall. In the next game, the Knicks will face the Lakers. These two games The game is not easy to play, do you still think he can continue his myth?"
"Yes, I still think he can continue his myth. That guy's outbreak is not accidental, Mike D'Antoni's system is very dependent on point guards, and Anthony can't play and no one can grab the shot, so Jeremy Lin... ....Uh, Jeremy Lin's data will only get higher and higher. But in Memphis on the 12th, everything may not be certain." Link smiled, Lin went crazy, maybe he will be re-evaluated. definition.
After all, he is also sexual.
