Four Hundred and One: "Old Friends" In Oklahoma

The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: [February Tian Novels Network] The fastest update! No ads!

The Grizzlies started with five consecutive victories, and to be honest, they haven't caused any uproar. But since defeating the Heat, the Memphis Grizzlies immediately became hot.

In ESPN's latest combat effectiveness index rankings, the Grizzlies surpassed the Miami Heat with the Big Three and the Los Angeles Lakers with the F4 combination, ranking first in the league!

This is also the first time in the history of the Grizzlies that they have ranked first on this list!

Charles Barkley said in a program on T.NT TV, "The Memphis Grizzlies have made great progress in the past two years. When Rudy Gay was traded away, countless people thought the Grizzlies were crazy. Right now, they're crazy enough that even the defending champions will get slaughtered by the Grizzlies."

In short, after defeating the Miami Heat, the Grizzlies became popular overnight. The 6-game winning streak and the massacre of the defending champion have made more and more people start to face up to this team that has no sense of existence in the past 20 years.

Link got up the next day and saw that almost all the media were praising the Grizzlies, so he was naturally in a good mood. He even received a text message from Kobe. Uncle Snake said that he couldn't wait to play against Link, who had improved a lot.

Link replied to all the congratulatory text messages one by one, and then ate breakfast and prepared to go out. Just then, Link received a call from his manager, Jeff Austin.

"Link, can you hear me?" Austin's opening remarks were a little strange.

"Of course, what's wrong?"

"I'm in Greece now, and I'm afraid that the international long-distance signal is not good."

"Oh, let's make a long story short, Jeff." Link curled his lips. It's the end of 2012. Is Austin really going to attack a Greek criminal?

"Aren't you curious about what I was doing in Greece?" Jeff Austin was very surprised by Link's calm reaction.

"What else can you do? Isn't it just looking for the next star of hope. Everyone knows that you like to explore the international player market."

"Hey, you're smart. Do you know how amazing this guy I'm looking at is? He's like a second Kevin Durant. He has the body of a center, but at the same time has the mobility of a small forward. The passing ability of the point guard. God, don't know where these guys come from."

"Who? Can you read his name?" Link smirked, that string of letters must be enough for Austin to drink a pot.

"Uh...his name is...Giannis Adetto...Artet...Arttocum...Okay , I still can't pronounce his name fluently, but I promise next June, the whole world will know this new basketball star."

"Hahaha, I'm afraid his name wasn't made by messing up the alphabet and combining it randomly. Well, Jeff, tell me, what do you want me to do? I'm going to go to the training hall. In the afternoon, I have to fly to Russia Where's Krahoma City?" Link checked his watch, and the joking time ended.

"Calling you is related to Oklahoma City. Nike invited you to the local children's welfare home in Oklahoma City in the afternoon, play basketball with the children, and give them a few pairs of Nike sneakers. You know, You're one of the faces of Nike now."

"Okay," Link nodded, "no problem, as long as they can wait for me to finish training."

Participating in commercial activities and charity activities is already a common thing for Link.

"But... this afternoon's event, there is a special place..."

"Uh...just say it directly." Hearing Jeff Austin added a but, Link knew it must be something bad.

Do you want some female athletes to walk with you? That's not a bad thing.

"Nike also invited local Oklahoma City star Kevin Durant to travel with you, so...enjoy your afternoon,

Link. "

Link: "..."

Going to a commercial event with Kevin Durant? Link slapped himself, he was still thinking about female athletes just now, wake up!

Thinking of Durant's gloomy face looking at him, Link believed that he would have a very, very "happy" time this afternoon.

※※※

Oklahoma City, where Link's professional basketball dream began.

His sweat was poured here, and his best brother was buried here. Of course, after entering the NBA, Link also forged an indissoluble bond with Oklahoma City.

Because by accident, he became a sworn enemy with the city's most prestigious basketball player. And in the playoffs, the Thunder and the Grizzlies also met for two consecutive seasons.

The city of Oklahoma seems to have endless stories with Link forever.

But Link never expected that he would encounter such a fucking thing when he came to Oklahoma City this time.

When Link and Durant got into the same car, Link just felt uncomfortable. If I go to shoot commercials with other people, maybe I can chat a little bit. But with Durant... no conversation at all.

"You two are quite shy. You should be more enthusiastic when facing the children later. You are their heroes!" The female assistant assigned by Nike to Durant and Link gave this message in the car. The striker, who didn't say a word, cheered up.

Link smiled awkwardly and nodded, what's the matter with being introverted? Can't you see how delicate the atmosphere in the car is?

Finally, at the entrance of a local children's welfare home in Oklahoma, the two got out of the car, and they could finally be separated for a while.

Link was very enthusiastic about the children. He gave the children a lot of free food and a few pairs of Link special edition sneakers. As an undrafted pick, Link knows that every little dream is actually very big. Therefore, I am very enthusiastic about treating these small children who don't know what they can do in the future.

Durant has a lot of face, and he sent signature shoes directly. When delivering the shoes, he didn't forget to give Link a playful look.

It seems to be saying, "I have given away signature shoes, but you are still giving Kobe the sixth generation."

"Tanima has a dark belly! He even wants to win me by giving him shoes!" Link was speechless. Although Durant doesn't talk much, he can sometimes piss people off.

Afterwards, the two played basketball with the children in the orphanage for a while. Link basically made kids score, and even dunked a kid in his arms.

As for Durant, he directly started the "Fuck Your Basketball Dreams" performance. For a child's layup, Durant is a volleyball hat as soon as he stretches out his hand. Link covered his forehead, does Lao Mei like playing tricks so much?

Link felt that if he had been abused by NBA stars like this when he was a child, he probably wouldn't want to play basketball anymore.

After two and a half hours of "suffering", today Nike's commercial charity event finally came to an end. Link actually had a lot of fun with the children, and the reason why he felt "suffering" was because it was too awkward to work with Durant.

During the event, Nike naturally took several photos of Durant and Link. In one of them, Link and Durant face the camera back to back with arms crossed.

This photo looks like it's "Hi duo", but Link and Durant only know how stiff their smiles are. After the final product came out, looking at the bright smiles of himself and Durant in the photo, Link couldn't help feeling the terrifying ability of the million retouchers.

"Shall we have dinner together at night? The two of you can also chat for a while longer." After the event, a proposal from a Nike staff made Link and Durant wave their hands in fright.

"Uh... Forget it, we have a tactical meeting tonight." Link quickly made an excuse.

"I'm not going either, I have to...water my cactus today. Yes, I have to water every day, but it's troublesome."

After Durant finished speaking, Link's first reaction was, "Damn it, you also grow cacti?"

The second reaction was, "Your cactus needs to be watered every day? It's already dead, what kind of excuse!"

The Nike staff smiled awkwardly before waving goodbye to Link and Durant. I believe he has already heard Durant's clumsy excuses, so he didn't embarrass the two anymore.

In the end, only Link and Durant were left standing on the street. The two let out a sigh of relief, now that there are no outsiders, they can finally tear off their masks.

"You guys still have a tactical meeting so late? For tomorrow's game?" Durant looked warily at Link beside him.

"You're watering the cactus so late? You're watering the cactus, we're going to have a tactical meeting."

"Tch, no matter what, I won't let you win tomorrow. I know, you beat LeBron yesterday, and we lost to LeBron in the finals last season. But basketball is not just about size, don't worry, tomorrow The result of the game, compared to last season's Western Conference Finals, will not change."

After Durant finished speaking, he was about to leave coolly, leaving only Link with a handsome back. The previous season, the Thunder were eliminated by the Grizzlies in the first round. Last season, the Thunder struggled to win until the tiebreaker, and Link's performance was perfect.

In Durant's view, he must completely overwhelm Link in both personal performance and team victory to be considered a winner! Therefore, it is also excellent to use a handsome back to give Link a little oppression before the game.

"Hello, Kevin."

"Huh?" Durant stopped, turned his head, and faced Link with only half of his face and a wide back.

It's so handsome!

"Your excuse just now was really clumsy. Eh? Don't be angry? I'm just telling the truth, hey..."

Durant got into the car angrily, such a handsome picture was ruined by that idiot!

It seems that only tomorrow will be on the basketball court, goodbye!
