Five Hundred and Two: 1 Consistent Pace

Overnight, public opinion exploded.

Morey has since deleted the post, but his social media has been taken over by fans. And the following messages are basically all asking Morey to apologize.

This kind of completely one-sided public opinion is very rare in the NBA.

Morey's message not only affected him personally, but also affected the entire Houston Rockets.

Even many local Houston fans are ashamed of Morey's speech.

"The Rockets have also done a lot of caring actions. Every player of the Rockets is working hard for this cause. So, is the Caring action of the Rockets fake?"

"As a Memphis, I have personally experienced the change that Link's arrival has brought to Memphis. Now that the neighborhood is safer, I no longer have to worry about my kids going to school. Link has helped a lot. People in need, his influence in Memphis is not limited to basketball. It's shameful that you deny everything he does!"

"We ask the league to immediately punish Morey for his remarks. It is very inappropriate to discredit a good basketball game like this."

"David Stern: The league has been involved in the investigation."

After Morey was woken up by a call from the team owner, he immediately checked his social media page. Then, this statistician who was in a good mood last night felt that he was about to be scolded for autism.

He thought that Link would be caught in a dilemma, but now, he has become a public enemy of the whole people.

"Darrell, you're on your own in this matter. David Stern is about to have an interview with you, and I hope you take care of this. We're just coming out of rebuilding, We can't take another blow." On the phone, Alexander gave Morey this response.

The Rockets don't want to make a fuss about things other than basketball.

Morey hung up the phone and looked at his phone, stunned in place.

Third-year Chinese-American players may not want it to be as simple as Morey imagined.

Link was very happy that things could be escalated, which at least told some other people who were hostile to Link, "Before becoming an enemy of me,

You have to weigh yourself. "

Morey's social media account has been temporarily closed because of being scolded too badly, and the NBA has to make a statement because of this incident.

If this is just a personal grudge between Link and Morey, the Alliance naturally doesn't have to come forward. But when things escalate to the level of NBA Cares, the league has to intervene.

It is estimated that the alliance did not expect that if Link said a word casually, he would get a response from so many people.

Because of this incident, ESPN also sent a special reporter to Memphis to conduct street interviews with some residents of Memphis.

After this news was broadcast, it increased the pressure on Morey.

"Morey didn't do anything, but Link, he really helped a lot of kids. He's a good guy, we can all experience that. Morey doesn't have the right to judge Link because he's just a cold-blooded businessman."

"If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to imagine how committed Link was in caring actions. He was helpful, and he once told us that in Chinese culture, helpfulness plays a very important role, and he accepted this since he was a child. So he's very grateful to the people who helped him, and in his opinion, the whole of Memphis helped him."

"We support Link. It's very simple. If someone supports me, I support him. In Memphis, no one can challenge Link. Otherwise, we'll see."

This random street interview surprised the reporters. Memphis, a place where third-rate and nine-religious religions gather, is difficult to agree on a certain matter. But this time, they were almost all on Link's side.

After that, Chinese organizations in many places also spoke out, "Morey's remarks are undoubtedly a malicious smear of the image of the Chinese."

Co-authoring other people to do charity is true, and Chinese doing charity is fraud?

Things are getting bigger and bigger, and it has completely exceeded Morey's expectations.

And what about Link? He wouldn't bother about it. The troubles are left to Morey, and now Link is already thinking about the Grizzlies' next opponent.

"The Cleveland Cavaliers are only 21 wins and 40 losses. Seriously, they are not afraid." When Link called assistant coach Elston Turner that night to ask for a video, Turner responded to Lin grams.

Turner is of course not underestimating the enemy, but he just doesn't want Link to overwork himself. Especially on a fish-belly team like the Cavaliers, if you can save a little energy, you can save a little energy.

But Link smiled and waved his hand, "Of course I know the Cavaliers have a bad record, but didn't they just win the Thunder last game? It turns out that the Cavaliers are not lambs to be slaughtered. No one wants the gutter to capsize. I don't want it to happen to me."

Link is still very apprehensive about the recent state of the Cavaliers, and being able to overturn the Thunder is not just a matter of luck.

Moreover, Link knew that Irving, who failed to single out himself in the All-Star Game, would definitely be very unconvinced.

The heads-up before All-Star training is an informal match. Therefore, even if Link wins, it means nothing.

But the next game will be a real fight. If Link can win again, he believes that everyone from fans to Irving should be completely convinced.

Irving has been in very good form recently. In the last game against the Thunder, facing Westbrook, who was much stronger than him, Irving scored 35 points very efficiently!

And Durant, the three-game scoring champion, only scored 32 points that day.

Irving does have the ability to challenge first-tier stars, so Link must be prepared.

Everyone was young, so Link knew very well that none of them was willing to admit defeat easily.

"I will do my best to give my best performance. Of course I know that the Grizzlies are the No. 1 in the league and their record is unmatched. But the Thunder last game, wasn't the record bad? We won't give up Resistance, we all come to Memphis for the simple purpose of winning!"

On the morning of March 8, the reporters interviewed Kelly Owen, a second-year champion who has recently become very popular, at the entrance of the hotel.

With Oden and Rose dying due to injuries, and Wall and Griffin failing to live up to expectations, Irving has undoubtedly become the most popular No. 1 overall pick in the past five years.

To be an All-Star as a sophomore on a team that's almost at the bottom speaks volumes about Irving's popularity.

And this very popular "new king" was not convinced at all when he was interviewed. Make it clear that the Cavaliers are here to win!

"I will beat him like I did in the All-Star game." Link also showed no weakness. After studying the Cavaliers' video yesterday, Link was very sure of today's game.

The Cavaliers certainly have the ability to burst out, but Irving doesn't have the ability to kill the game alone if he blocks the rest of the Cavaliers steadily.

After Link changed his clothes, he was ready to play to warm up. Although Link did not directly face Owen today, he would inevitably meet in a dislocation.

If you do run into Irving, any stiffness in your muscles will keep you from keeping up with the guy's rhythm. More seriously, it may even be knocked over by Owen.

Therefore, a full warm-up and physical activity are necessary for today's game.

Link put on his Grizzlies training jacket and walked out of the tunnel, with Randolph following Link. However, just as the big black bear ran out, he found that Link in front of him suddenly stopped, so he and Link also collided.

"Damn it, just brake when you say it." Randolph rubbed his chest, and I have to say, Link is really strong now. The collision with Link in the past was nothing to Randolph at all, but it was different now.

"Zach, look." Link still stood there, looking at the stands in surprise.

Randolph looked in the direction of Link's gaze, and was immediately stunned.

I saw all the fans present today, all wearing dark blue Grizzlies T-shirts. And on every T-shirt was the sentence, "Morey, sorry."

Randolph said that one day, the people of Memphis will make Link feel their love too.

It's just that he didn't expect that this day would come so quickly.
