The Grizzlies started with five consecutive victories before, to be honest, but they haven't caused any uproar yet. But since defeating the Heat, the Memphis Grizzlies have immediately become popular.

On the latest combat effectiveness index rankings of espn, the Grizzlies surpassed the Miami Heat, which has the Big Three, and the Los Angeles Lakers, which has the Big Three, and ranked first in the league!

This is also the first time in the history of the Grizzlies rank first on this list!

Charles Barkley said in a show on T.nt TV, "The Memphis Grizzlies have made great progress in the past two years. When they traded Rudy Guy, countless people thought the Grizzlies were crazy. Now, they are indeed crazy, so crazy that even the defending champions will be slaughtered by the Grizzlies."

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

After getting up the next day, Link saw almost all the media praising the Grizzlies, and naturally he was in a very good mood. He even received a text message from Kobe, saying that Uncle Snake said he could not wait to fight with Link, who had made a lot of progress.

Link responded to all the congratulations one by one, then ate breakfast and prepared to go out. At this moment, Link received a call from manager Jeff Austin.

"Link, can you hear it?" Austin's opening remark was a little strange.

"Of course, what's wrong?"

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

"Oh, let's talk about it for a long time, Jeff." Link curled his lips. It was the end of 2012. Is Austin really going to attack a Greek black man?

"Aren't you curious about what I'm doing in Greece?" Jeff Austin was very surprised at 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."

"Hehe, you are smart. Do you know how amazing this guy I am now? He is simply the second Kevin Durant. He has the figure of a center, but he also has the mobility of a small forward and the passing ability of a point guard. God, I don't know where these guys came from."

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

"Uh his name is Jannis Adeto Attendo Koum Okay, I can't read his name fluently, but I promise that the whole world will know this basketball star in June next year."

"Hahaha, his name is probably not a random combination of the alphabet. Okay, Jeff, say, what's the matter with me? I'm going to go out to the training hall. In the afternoon, I'll have to take a plane to Oklahoma City." Link looked at his watch, and ended the time of joking.

"Call you call is related to Oklahoma City. Nike invites you to go to the local children's welfare home in Oklahoma City in the afternoon to play basketball with the children, and give them a few pairs of Nike sneakers. You know, you are one of the Nike shops 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 there is a special place for this afternoon's event."

"Uh, just say it." Hearing Jeff Austin adds, but Link knew that it was not a good thing.

Could it be that some female athletes want to walk with me? That's not a bad thing.

“Nike also invited Oklahoma City local star Kevin Durant to accompany you, so enjoy your wonderful afternoon, Link.”

Link: ""

Going to participate in a commercial event with Kevin Durant? Link slapped himself in the face. He was just thinking about female athletes, just now, let’s wake up!

Thinking of Durant's gloomy face when he looked at him, Link believed that he would have a very, very "pleasant" life 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 formed an indissoluble bond with Oklahoma City.

Because he accidentally became a mortal enemy of the city's most unfamous basketball player. In the playoffs, the Thunder and the Grizzlies also met for two consecutive seasons.

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

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

When Link and Durant got into the same car, Link felt uncomfortable. If he went to shoot an advertisement with others, he might have a few more talks. But he had no choice but to talk to Durant.

"You both are quite introverted. It's better to be more enthusiastic when facing the children later. You are the heroes in their hearts!" Nike's female assistant sent by Durant and Link to cheer up the two forwards who didn't say a word in the car.

Link smiled awkwardly and nodded. What's going on in this hurdle? Can't you tell how subtle the atmosphere in the car?

Finally, at the entrance of a local children's welfare home in Oklahoma, the two got out of the car and were finally able to separate for a while.

Link was very enthusiastic when facing the children. He gave them a lot of free food and a few pairs of Link’s special sneakers. As a loser, Link knew that every little dream was actually very great. Therefore, he was very enthusiastic about these children who are small now but who don’t know what career they can do in the future.

Durant has more faces, so he gave him signature shoes directly. When he delivered the shoes, he still looked at Link jokingly.

It seemed like I was saying, "I have given signature shoes, but you are still giving Kobe sixth generation."

"It's so damn! I even want to beat me with my shoes!" Link was speechless. Although Durant didn't talk much, he sometimes could be so angry.

Afterwards, the two played basketball with the children in the welfare home for a while. Link basically let the children score goals, and even carried a child to complete the dunk.

Durant, as for the child, started the "Go to your basketball dream" performance. When a child's layup, Durant felt like a volleyball hat as soon as he reached out. Link covered his forehead. Does the Americans like to play tricks so much?

Link felt that if he was so abused by NBA stars when he was a child, he would probably not want to play basketball.

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

During the event, Nike naturally took several photos of Durant and Link. One of them asked Link and Durant to face the camera with his back-to-back arms and chests.

This photo looks like "Brothers are good", but only they know how stiff Link and Durant smile. After the final product came out, looking at the bright smiles of himself and Durant in the photo, Link had to sigh at the terrible ability of millions of photo editing masters.

"Come to have dinner together tonight? You two can also chat for a while." After the event, a proposal from Nike staff member scared Link and Durant waved their hands.

"Well, forget it, we have a tactical meeting tonight." Link quickly made an excuse.

"I won't go anymore. I have to water my cactus today. Yes, I have to water it every day, but it's a problem."

After Durant finished speaking, Link's first reaction was, "Damn, do you raise cactus too?"

The second reaction is, "Your cactus needs to be watered every day? You're already dead, what's the excuse you are!"

The Nike staff smiled awkwardly, then waved goodbye to Link and Durant. I believe he had already heard Durant's poor excuses, so he did not make things difficult for the two.

In the end, only Link and Durant were left standing on the street. The two breathed a sigh of relief. Now there were no outsiders, so they could finally tear off their masks.

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

"You still have to water the cactus so late? If you want to water the cactus, we will have a tactical meeting."

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

After Durant finished speaking, he was ready 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 fought until the tiebreak to win, and Link's performance was perfect.

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

"Hey, Kevin."

"Hmm?" Durant stopped, turned his head, and turned his head with only half of his face and a wide and solid back to Link.

He is so handsome!

"Your excuse just now is really clumsy. Hey? Don't be angry? I'll tell the truth, hey."

Durant got into the car angrily. Such a handsome scene was destroyed by that idiot!
Chapter completed!
