693: Become the idol of a generation of superstars

The next day, after the alarm clock rang at twelve o'clock noon, Randolph felt that his eyelids were still very heavy.

The "Big Black Bear" pulled off his blindfold and looked at Link who lived in the same room with him.

Generally speaking, Link usually gets up early and goes to the hotel gym to exercise.

But today, Link had just been woken up by the alarm clock and he couldn't get up early.

This is enough to show how tired Link is now. Even Link, who has always been "unlimited in physical fitness", is so tired that others are even more tired.

Although it was already twelve o'clock noon, Link and the others had actually slept for less than eight hours.

They arrived in Milwaukee at 3:00 yesterday morning, and it was already past four o'clock when they arrived at the hotel.

"Good morning, Zach." Link said hello to Randolph lazily, then went to the bathroom to wash.

As soon as he looked in the mirror, Link realized that his eyes were covered in blood and he obviously did not sleep well.

Yesterday, Link had a low sleep quality and had a very light sleep, so he would wake up from time to time.

Because as soon as you close your eyes, yesterday's defeat and Durant's powerful expression will appear in front of Link's eyes.

Link now knows why Durant hated him so much last season. It is estimated that Durant has had such nightmare last season.

When Link and Randolph went downstairs for lunch, they realized that it was not just the two of them, but almost everyone on the Grizzlies were indifferent.

Even Jimmy Butler and Delavidova, who have always been active, are dead. Delavidova suffered from the flu after coming to Milwaukee yesterday.

Dave Jogel, who was wearing two big dark circles, looked at the players' condition and couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Indeed, the Milwaukee Bucks are at the bottom of the league and have won less than 10 games so far.

But if you lose unexpectedly to the league at the bottom, it will hurt your morale even more!

Over the years, there have been examples of strong teams losing to bottom teams. Even the Grizzlies themselves had an upset experience in the regular season last season.

Although this kind of thing does not happen from time to time, it is indeed possible.

Dave Jogel only hopes that this kind of thing should not happen to the Grizzlies. Otherwise, if you lose to the Grizzlies and the Bucks in a row, let alone the players, even Jogel himself feels disgusted.

But the Grizzlies players are in this state today...Jogel curled his lips, hoping not to be so unlucky.

After lunch and resting for a while, the players dragged their tired bodies to the Bradley Center to prepare for the evening game.

Originally, at this stage of the season, the accumulated fatigue tortures the players. Now they still have a back-to-back away game, which is even more harsh.

Link became even more depressed. He not only had to drag his tired body to train, but also had to accept the destruction of the reporters.

"Link, after losing to Kevin last night, do you still have confidence in winning this year? With the Thunder here, do you think you can still reach the finals?"

"Can you tell us what happened when you lose to the Oklahoma City Thunder twice in a row?"

"Do you think you can win a game next time? What would you do if you lose to the Thunder again?"

Link's head is about to explode. The more famous he is, the more tricky he faces.

In order to arouse discussion, the reporters naturally take which pot is not open. This is a competitive sports league, and people will not consider the emotions of losers.

Link finally ended until the media opening hours ended, and had to go to the court to start warming up to welcome the evening game.

When Link stepped into Bradley Center, he found the venue unexpectedly deserted.

This season, the atmosphere of the Grizzlies is very hot no matter where they go. Even on the away game, people are very willing to see how the league plays first.

Only today, when Link entered the venue to warm up, even half of the people were not full of people in the stands at Bradley Center.

Although the game has not started yet, according to the current trend, it is estimated that even if the game begins, there will definitely be blockbuster spaces in the stands.

This is the consequence of having to bear the bad consequences. After all, the Milwaukee Bucks are not like the Knicks.

Even if the Knicks are worse than the shit on the roadside, they are not afraid of not having attendance. After all, New York's huge football market is there.

In the future, although the Lakers' record was bad in the post-Bryant era, they were also full of games.

But for places like Milwaukee where the market is not big, bad play means the most direct economic losses.

More than a decade ago, fans could buy a season pass for dozens of dollars. But now, this amount of money is not enough to watch a game. Faced with this high price, fans naturally hope to make a good deal of money instead of spending money to see their home team be abused.

The Bucks have only won 7 games this season, so it is reasonable that no one is willing to watch the game on the spot.

When Link was feeling the economic cold winter brought about by the deterioration of the small team, someone behind him called him.

Moreover, the accent is very special.

Link turned his head and found a guy with a thin body but slender limbs waving at him.

If it weren't for seeing it with my own eyes, Link wouldn't believe this childish guy would be the "Greek monster" Jannis Antetokounmpo who will kill all sides in the league in the future!

Antetokounmpo is really thin now, his thin arms and legs seem to be broken with a little force. Moreover, Antetokounmpo now does not look as tall as in the future, and now he seems not much taller than Link.

But Link knew that this guy would be over 2.10 meters tall in the future!

The guy who can continue to grow taller after entering the league is really enviable! Antetokounmpo is only 19 years old now, so it is not surprising that he can grow taller. When Link entered the league, he was 22 years old...

"Hello, Jannis." Link squeezed a smile at Antetokounmpo. Although he was not a good person, Link would not throw a tantrum inexplicably when dealing with people who had no grievances or grudges.

"You know me! Oh my God, you actually know me! I'm still going to introduce myself!" Antetokounmpo seemed very excited when he heard Link greeting him.

"Uh... your manager and I are both Jeff. Do you think I know you?" Link was speechless. At this time, the big man in front of him seemed not to be his opponent, but his little fan.

But then again, Antetokounmpo is now just a little transparent player with about 20 minutes of playing time in a garbage team. Although he scored 18 points in the last game, who would care except for the Bucks' loyal fans?

His popularity is indeed very low, and it seems that it is not easy to be recognized by the star of another division team.

"I have always liked you very much, Link! Your experience from undraft to FMVP has always been my goal of hard work! I know that my draft pick is not high, and I also know that my current situation is not good. But I believe that as long as you work hard and be strong like you, you will definitely become a superstar!"

After Antetokounmpo finished speaking in broken English, he hugged Link tightly.

Link could clearly feel Antetokounmpo's body trembling. It seemed that he was really excited.

What Link didn't know was that when the Antetokounmpo family set up a street stall in Greece, it was the story of his counterattack in the draft that inspired Antetokounmpo to continue on the basketball road.

When Antetokounmpo ambition to come to the American land, he found that he couldn't even get into the lottery zone. It was Link's story that told Antetokounmpo, "The starting point is not that important, what is important is how to run."

After Link came to this world, he changed not only as simple as the history of NBA. Many people were subtly influenced by Link.

This young guy who averaged only 6.8 points per game finally saw his idol he had admired for a long time, and only he could understand his excitement.

Link was a little amused and crying. Has he become an idol of a future superstar? Well... this feeling is quite wonderful.

"Link, I won't let you down today. I will do my best to fight you!"

Looking at the energetic Antetokounmpo, the tired Link forced a smile. Don't, I just want to finish the game easily and have a rest today...

"Okay, I'm looking forward to your performance, Jannis." But on his lips, Link certainly couldn't express his true thoughts.

After the two exchanged a few more greetings, Antetokounmpo returned to his half to continue warming up.

Link put his waist on his waist and shook his head secretly. Fortunately, "Antetokounmpo" is still in his childhood and should not be difficult to deal with.

Link did not watch the video of Antetokounmpo's last three games, otherwise he would not have felt that way...
