Link became the fourth rookie in the league to score 20+ points in a single game this season! Another undrafted draft completed the counterattack. ”

"24 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, a new generation of all-around fighters is born!"

"The Memphis Grizzlies are riding a four-game winning streak and are just 1.5 wins away from the Houston Rockets, who are eighth in the West."

"Link — Grizzlies' best signing this season."

With an all-around stat of 20+ points on the first start, the media naturally will not deny Link's achievements. Although he is only a Chinese and the way he plays is not exciting, the data and results are there, and no one can ignore them.

Link's fame is growing in the league to the point where it makes all the lottery rookies nervous.

'Link is a fantastic player and if I run into him, you have to be careful. 10 years list eye Evan. Turner said this to the camera.

"When we were in college, we didn't even hear of Link's name. But I have to say that his performance in the NBA has been fantastic. "10 years of exploring Wesley. Johnson looked a little nervous, and his performance this season was far from what he expected. If he is defeated by the draft again, he will be ashamed.

With George and Hayward's example, none of the lottery picks who were in the same position as Link now want to run into the Grizzlies. You have to be able to beat Link, as a lottery pick to beat a draft loser doesn't seem like much to brag about. But if you lose, you're going to lose face.

There is no benefit if you win, and if you lose a big face, naturally no one wants to do it.

Link saw the news the day after the game, sitting in his hotel room. With less than 12 hours to go before his last debut in Memphis, Link is now in Los Angeles.

It's also unfortunate to say that Link hasn't played a few games before he comes to the Grizzlies, and he has already encountered a second back-to-back game. Although the back and forth away from home took Link to many places that he had only seen in pictures before, it also made him feel tired as an NBA player.

When he was in the Development League before, Link was thinking, why should those players complain that they are tired when the NBA team plays on the road with such good conditions?

But when he really became an NBA player, he learned that the density and intensity of NBA games are incomparable to those of the Development League. While NBA players play on the road in better conditions, they also have more consumption.

Today, Link is in Los Angeles, the city he once longed for the most. But sitting in the hotel room, he just wanted to rest, and he didn't have the slightest desire to go out and go around.

"Link, have you heard? Rudy's guy seems to want to play with an injury. At this time, Tony wrapped in a bath towel. Aaron stepped out of the bathroom.

Since Link joined the Grizzlies, the two have shared a room once they play on the road. Tony. Allen also takes good care of Link, after all, he is still a role player, and he can empathize with some of Link's form.

"Rudy? Didn't he just take a game off? Link pouted, and he was naturally happy that his teammate was able to recover from the injury, but Rudy. Why is Guy in such a hurry to return?

This stupid boy doesn't know that everyone is already using him as a competitor.

"yes, but yesterday I heard him talking to Coach Hollins. It seems to say that he wants to play with an injury so as not to affect the team's results. If that's true, you'll probably have to go back to the bench with me today. ”

Link doesn't know Tony. Allen wanted to tell himself this, but he knew that the Grizzlies, like many other NBA teams, had their own small groups of players.

Obviously, Tony. Aaron and Guy are not in the same group.

"It doesn't matter, the starting position is his. Whether it's a substitute or a starter, as long as you go on the pitch and seize the opportunity, it's the same. Link waved his hand, he hadn't completed his second ten-day contract, so don't think about completely replacing Guy.

Guy is the leader of this team right now, and there's no way he's going to be able to compete with that guy. Link was concerned about whether Guy's injury would worsen by doing so.

Link in his previous life was not a Grizzlies fan, so he didn't pay much attention to the Grizzlies. He only remembered that there was a year when Guy seemed to be out for the season due to a shoulder injury, but he couldn't remember if it was this year......

'You've got a good mentality, you just performed so well yesterday and you're willing to give up your starting XI today. However, this may be the reason for your success. Well...... It's okay not to start, and I don't want to be promoted to the starting lineup today. After all, that Staples guy is very hard to mess with. "Tony. Allen looked out the window at Staples' center of gravity, and his mind was full of the guy in the No. 24 jersey.

※※※

The lights are bright, the gold is brilliant, the drunken dream is dead...... Just listening to these words, the night in Los Angeles is incredibly exciting.

But today, none of this has anything to do with Link. There are no high-end nightclubs, no sexy postures, and no thrill of spending money. The only thing Link could do on his night in Los Angeles was to fight hand-to-hand with a bunch of muscular hunks in jerseys.

Truth be told, Link sometimes wants to experience the exciting off-court life of an NBA-level professional player. But so far, he hasn't had that chance. The team is either playing away or on the way to playing away.

If you can't vent your strength in a nightclub in Los Angeles, then vent your strength on the court.

Before the start of the game, Tony. Aaron's biggest headache still happened.

"Tony, today you start. Needless to say, you know what to do, right? Look at that madman! ”

Instead of saying the guy's name, Hollins simply replaced it with the word "madman."

There's really nothing wrong with that, that guy is a madman. The last game faced Wesley. Johnson, a first-year rookie, Kobe Bryant also showed his benevolent side, scoring 33 points "only".

If not for the look at Wesley. Johnson is a rookie who could have scored 40 points.

Hearing Hollins' arrangement, Tony. Aaron covered his forehead. Soon, however, he became bright again. Don't want to play the starting defense Kobe, just Tony. Aaron felt tired, but that didn't mean he was scared. Since it's inevitable to run into him, it's better to do him well.

As for the other starting change today, Hollins had already scheduled it during the afternoon training. Rudy. Guy eventually returned to the starting line-up with an injury.

In this regard, both the Grizzlies and Guy advertised it because they were afraid of affecting the team's playoff results. But what is actually the reason, only Guy knows.

"Link, remember your role today. I need you as the team's sixth man, and I need you as the core of the bench. So today, the first priority after you go on the field is not to open up space for others, not to cover for others, but to seek offensive opportunities yourself! Be bold and believe in yourself. ”

Despite losing his starting position, Hollins still gave Link a relatively important role.

At this time, it was O.J. Mayo's turn to look bad. He fell to the bench and couldn't even get a sixth man role. But then again, since Link joined the Grizzlies, he hasn't seen a game where Mayo's efficiency has been outstanding. It's no wonder that this guy is gradually losing trust.

Link nodded slightly, and he was glad that he could still be used by the manager.

As we all know, the personnel structure of the Los Angeles Lakers is actually quite bizarre.

Kobe, Gasol, Bynum, Artest and Odom...... There's no doubt that these guys are strong players.

But look at their bench, Luke whose mind is greater than his ability. Wharton, the mediocre Steve. Blake, Shannon, who has springs tied to his feet but is otherwise very mediocre. Brown, more than ferocious, limited Matt. Barnes......

The Lakers' lineup seems to have been cut off from the middle, falling from the best to the bottom players all at once, and the middle players are vacant. Therefore, the strength of the Lakers' second team has been criticized.

Since he is the sixth man today, it means that most of the time he is facing off against the Lakers' "terrible" second team. Playing as a substitute to get a high score doesn't seem impossible now.

Link hasn't forgotten that at the end of December, several Los Angeles media outlets came out to question him. The haughty Angelenos don't seem to be optimistic about losing the draft, believing that players like Link can only make a name for themselves in the "country country" of Memphis.

Link still remembers all these things, he is very vindictive.
