Three Hundred and Two: A Sudden Change in Calm

"Link played very well today, and his post-up technique is very mature."

"I said a long time ago that Link is fully capable of carrying a team."

"Link's cross-step emergency stop and mid-range shot can rank among the top three in the league."

The day after the game between the Grizzlies and the Lakers, Kobe Bryant praised Link, which became a hot topic among fans. There are not many young players in this league that Kobe can spontaneously and publicly praise, and it is even rarer that Kobe can use so many compliments at once.

No matter how much the media quarrels with Link, some people will feel that there is water. However, when Kobe also stood up and blew Link, everyone had to accept it.

After all, Kobe is not a person who likes commercial praise. If it wasn't for Link's strength that he really appreciates, he wouldn't say those words.

What's more, Link's performance yesterday was obvious to all. If anyone still jumps out today and says that Link can't take on the important task, they are really talking nonsense with their eyes open.

In addition to Kobe's praise for Link, Bynum's defense in an interview after the game was also hotly discussed by fans.

It's just that Bynum's words were not recognized by the fans, but were crazily complained and ridiculed by the fans.

Someone even posted a watermelon rind all over the floor on the picture of Bynum being swayed, and then added a text, "Really, I really slipped and fell."

This guy Bynum is indeed too immature. Indeed, in many cases, it is difficult for you to judge whether a player was shaken, knocked down or slipped.

But yesterday Bynum's ball was an exception. It was obviously because of an unstable center of gravity that he was knocked down, and anyone could see it.

Faced with this kind of thing, even if Bynum does not respond, it is better than madly defending himself.

Now comfortable, Bynum not only successfully selected the top five, but also became the object of ridicule by fans all over the world. He succeeded in making this matter more and more popular, as the saying goes, he dug a hole and jumped on his own.

Looking at these ironic news, Link's heart is full of a sense of accomplishment. Yesterday's game was indeed too timely to win.

However, Link didn't have much time to reminisce about last night's victory, because at this time, he had already boarded the flight to Denver Plateau. With back-to-back matches, the time for Link to enjoy the victory has been shortened. Thinking that there is still a tough battle to be fought tonight, Link can't be happy.

Let's enjoy together after these two games are won.

The Denver Nuggets are not underdogs. So far this season, their record of 23 wins and 18 losses has allowed them to sit firmly in the top eight in the Western Conference. The rise of Ty Lawson, Gallinari, Faried and others gave the Nuggets the capital to challenge strong teams.

Therefore, although the Lakers have just won, the crisis of the Grizzlies has not been lifted. The test for Link is not over yet.

※※※

If we say that after yesterday's game with the Lakers, there was still a stubborn "Lin Hei" who was spraying Link. So today in the fight against the Nuggets, Link directly sealed everyone's mouths.

The last time they played against the Nuggets, the Grizzlies narrowly lost by 1 point. Link also let Brewer, who is good at counterattacks, score high points.

Today, the Nuggets are equally difficult to deal with. As a team with no offensive core and everyone is a soldier, the characteristic of the Nuggets is that every night, there is one person who may become a superstar. Today, this person is undoubtedly Ty Lawson.

Lawson made consecutive shots and passes today, scoring 18 points and 8 assists. Several times when the Grizzlies opened up the score, it was Lawson who stepped forward and stabilized the situation.

So, the game reached a critical moment again. In the last 13 seconds of the game, the two sides tied at 91 and the Grizzlies had the ball.

At the last moment, Link once again demonstrated his ability to carry the team, leaving everyone speechless.

In the last 13 seconds, the Grizzlies set up a three-pointer tactic for Link. Hollins guessed that the Nuggets would stick to the basket, after all, the Grizzlies could win with just one more point. So he did the opposite and decided to play a three-pointer.

after all,

He may have a three-point leader who broke the scoring record in the All-Star Three-Point Contest.

At the last moment, Link threw away Gallinari through superb off-ball running, and then calmly made a three-pointer in the last 1.8 seconds of tremendous pressure.

At the same time as the red light flashed on the backboard, the basketball hit the net. Link beat the Nuggets with a three-pointer in the away game. He scored 31 points and led the Grizzlies to two consecutive victories!

In the last game against Biao Bryant, this time he stood up and beat the Nuggets again. Link's performance in back-to-back games was perfect.

Now, no one will jump out and question Link's fineness. In just two games, he proved that his strength is worthy of his team status.

Grizzlies general manager Chris Wallace watched the game with owner Michael Heisley at his home. Seeing the scene where Link succeeded in the lore, Wallace, a middle-aged man, yelled enthusiastically. With a sound.

Heisley also applauded the moment Link succeeded in the lore. But it can be seen that this guy's attention is not all on the game,

Today, Heisley specially invited Wallace to watch the game at home, and Wallace still felt strange. But throughout the game, neither side exchanged anything special.

But as soon as the game ended, Heisley really said, "Chris, I actually called you today, and I have something to tell you."

Wallace wasn't surprised, he knew Heisley must have something else going on. But what exactly it was, Wallace had no clue.

"I'm listening, Michael, if you have anything to say, just say it." Wallace nodded, and then turned off the TV very tactfully. It's a pity that Wallace couldn't hear Link's post-match interview.

"You know, I'm 75 years old, and my health has been terrible for the past two years. A lot of things around me, including basketball."

Wallace was shocked, what does this mean! ? But he didn't interrupt Heisley, and continued listening.

"Every once in a while, reporters will come to me and ask me if the team will trade this, trade that. Every once in a while, I have to worry about the team's revenue. The first year of taking over the Grizzlies, I lost 40 million. So, I decided to move the Grizzlies to the United States. However, things did not go as smoothly as I thought. But before, I could continue to operate with my blood and my love for basketball My own team. But now, I don’t have this idea, Chris. When I think about the operation of the team, when I think about the construction of the team, I feel a headache.”

"So you mean..." Chris Wallace swallowed, he didn't expect this ordinary night to become so extraordinary.

"Last season, the Grizzlies made it to the Western Conference finals in one fell swoop. This season, we also produced a Superman balloon star like Link. I can't believe that one day the Grizzlies will have an All-Star starter... .Our market is getting better and better, and the team's market value is also soaring. So..." Heisley paused, and it was obvious that he was also having a hard time saying this decision.

"So, I decided to take advantage of this and sell the team at a high price while the iron was hot. I was going to quit, Chris. I know, we have only just started to improve recently, but my body is no longer allowed to play with the team. This matter I thought about it for a long time and this is my final decision."

"Boom!" Chris Wallace felt his brain explode suddenly. The boss suddenly said that he wanted to sell the team. As the general manager, he was not ready for such a thing!

Chris Wallace doesn't know what will happen recently, but he is sure that the days of calm are over.

If the team really changes the owner, it means that the Grizzlies may usher in huge personnel changes, from management to coaches to players, will be affected.

Heisley's state was exactly the opposite of Wallace's. The old man smiled serenely, as if he had let go of a big stone in his heart. Now, he is finally relieved.
