1121: The Real Union Facade

86 to 82, the shooting percentage of both teams is less than 40%.

Just looking at the score and hit percentage, you can never imagine how exciting the game between the Grizzlies and the Spurs was.

So the next day, many fans who missed the game called for a loss of blood.

Although there are videos to watch, watching videos while knowing the results of the game is completely different from experiencing live broadcasts.

Not long ago, Link defeated the Raptors with a long three-pointer, and he took a layup from the air and presented a visual feast to the fans.

Stephen A. Smith, the "Lin Chui", said on his social media without hesitation: "The NBA has half of the exciting scenes this season, and it is the most exciting half!"

A game against the times, with low hit rate and no smooth offense has become a hot commodity in the hearts of fans.

Facts have proved that rules and times do not necessarily change the viewing of basketball games, only stars can do it!

Of course, Link was not the only one who became popular after this game.

Leonard, who forced Link to "use his big move", also occupied a place in the hearts of fans.

Previously, because the Spurs themselves received little attention this season, Leonard's popularity has not been very explosive.

But now, when people suddenly realize that Leonard is so powerful, it is a foregone conclusion that the popularity soars.

Everyone thinks that Leonard is now the most underrated player in the league. A player who can fight Link to the end but loses will definitely not be simple.

A double shot is about this kind of game.

Of course, Leonard certainly wouldn't be happy about such a thing.

No matter how many people admit you, you can only rely on yourself when you go to the basketball court.

When no one admitted it, Link won the championship too.

What Leonard cares about is not recognition, but victory.

But no matter how much he wants to win, he can only wait for a while with unwillingness.

After the game, the Grizzlies got a day of breathing time. Before the All-Star Game begins, the Grizzlies have four games to play.

Among them, there is another game facing the Warriors.

However, for Link and the Grizzlies, they will no longer feel special when facing the Warriors.

After all, they have won the defending champion twice this season, and both of them have beaten the Warriors particularly badly.

Even if they really lose next time, the Warriors will still be behind 1-2.

Overall, the Grizzlies players are very relaxed at this time.

At this stage of the season until February, most teams are exhausted.

The relaxed mentality of the grizzly bear is quite rare.

During training this afternoon, a photography team walked into the Grizzlies' training hall.

This team was sent by the league official, and they hope to shoot an All-Star Game promotional advertisement for Link.

Perhaps it was Link who said to the camera, "Welcome to the 2017 NBA All-Stars."

Link shot this simple advertisement during the training interval. What surprised him was that the joke of the league president Adam actually came to the scene.

And, just now, I was waiting silently with the photography team for Link's training to end.

"Thank you, Link. You have contributed so many wonderful games and pictures to the league this season. I believe that with your invitation, there will definitely be more people paying attention to the All-Star Weekend."

As soon as Link finished filming, he came up to shake hands with Link.

"I didn't expect you to come, Mr. President. To be honest, I thought you would go to Oakland to shoot Kevin." Link smiled, and after hearing the joke, his face was full of dark lines.

Everyone is adult and knows what each other means.

Link just now was sarcastic jokes that he had been suppressing himself and was crazy about complimenting the Warriors.

Although Link has been in the United States since he was born, most people are still treating him as a foreign player due to his skin color.

It’s like although Olajuwon played for the Dream Team back then, both the fans and the "Da Meng" themselves still regard him as a foreign player.

Does the NBA allow a foreign player to be the face of the league? Obviously, they don't want to.

What's more, he is a league appearance who always speaks rudely, does not restrain himself on the court, and is not easy to "discipline".

In other words, NBA has been struggling and swaying left and right.

In NBA history, there are only a few examples of foreigners almost becoming alliance facades.

For example, Nash, Dirk and Parker, the past.

But although they have enough honor and strength, their popularity is not that high. The sales of jerseys have never reached the top, and their commercial value is far less than that of American players.

Therefore, they naturally cannot become the alliance facade.

But at this time, Link became the breaker.

This season, thanks to the league's popularity, Link has increased unprecedentedly in terms of business value and popularity.

The fans' love for him is far greater than their disgust.

NBA is always a business alliance, and there is no reason to not make money. Therefore, when an influential foreign player appears, they will also make concessions.

Now, the joke has made concessions.

No matter how he doesn't like Link, no matter whether he has introduced the new All-Star voting rules collectively despised by fans in order to curb Link, he must now turn around and push Link to the league's position!

To put it bluntly, Link is now the player who can help the league make money the most. If the joke is not done, no one else will agree.

Therefore, although I heard that Link was mocking himself, the joke still accompanied him with a smile.

"Hahaha, you are the most important player in the league. Of course we are the first to come to you. I hope you and your team can continue to perform well. I am optimistic about your prospects this season."

As he said a joke, he patted Link on the shoulder.

The forced smile on his face was simply funny.

"In fact, I'm here for something. We hope you can participate in the All-Star Weekend Skills Challenge next year. I believe that fans will be very happy to see this. And if you win, you will also be the first player in NBA history to win three individual events. Trust me, it will be more beneficial to your publicity."

Then, the joke also asked Link to his attitude very low!

This may be the first time in NBA history that the league president personally invited a player to participate in the All-Star individual event.

The joke is very clear. As long as Link participates in the individual competition, there is no need to worry about the ratings of that All-Star.

"Okay, what's wrong?" Link shrugged and nodded slightly.

The president has licked it like this, and there is really no reason to refuse.

Soon, Joke left the Federal Express Stadium with the league's official photography team. Link undoubtedly became the key promotional target of this All-Star Game.

As long as you have strong strength, the league president can't beat you up!

It turns out that Jokes decide to give in now is a very clever choice.

Because the day after the commercial was filmed, the Grizzlies broke the record again in the match against the Suns.

In this game, facing the reconstruction of the Suns, the Grizzlies won 19 points without any blood.

Grizzlies' player development consultant and former Suns legendary star Steve Nash kept shaking his head during the game.

On the one hand, he was very happy to see his team win. But on the other hand, he felt a little sad when he saw the team that he had dedicated everything he had been pressed on the ground like this.

Devin Booker once again failed to challenge Link. It turns out that these newcomers still have a long way to go before threatening Link's status.

After winning this game, the Grizzlies' record turned into 50 wins and 4 losses! This made the Grizzlies the fastest team in NBA history to win 50 wins!

In this record, the Grizzlies left the Warriors and the Bulls far behind.

On February 8, you can win 50 wins in just 54 games, which is likely to be a record that no one can break afterwards.

With the Grizzlies breaking records, Link's All-Star promotional advertisements have also become extremely popular.

Under his star effect, this year's All-Star Weekend will definitely make a lot of money again.

Now, it seems that everything is moving in a good direction.
