On the evening of January 22, after the training, the Grizzlies players did not go out to roam or stay in their respective rooms, but all gathered in Link's room.

After finishing the game with the Kings on the 21st, the next day, Hollins took the players to Oakland. On the 23rd, the Grizzlies were going to play against the Golden State Warriors in the Bay Area. On the 24th, they immediately rushed to Portland back to back and fight the Trail Blazers.

So, Hollins decided to take the players to the Bay Area one day in advance to prepare for the game. This would also allow the players to rest more time.

After all, this is another disgusting 4-day 3-game.

Grizzlies players have gradually gotten used to this kind of life of playing one game the next day. This is how the shrinking season is, and every team is treated the same.

Therefore, on the night of the 22nd, all the Grizzlies players gathered in Link's room in the hotel in the Bay Area.

Don't get me wrong, Link did not set up a bet to invite his teammates to play. All Grizzlies players gathered here, just waiting for the NBA to officially announce the lineup of this year's Orlando All-Star Game!

"How long will it take? Why are you still fucking advertising?"

"Hey, who wants juice, I have some leftovers in this bottle."

"Zach, man, take your head away, I can't see the TV!"

Link's room was very lively, and it looked like everyone in the university dormitory was waiting to watch the live broadcast of the game together.

Link sat in the middle, folding his hands together and holding his chin. He really didn't expect that he would become so nervous. The first All-Star in the history of the Grizzlies? The first All-Star in his career was selected for the All-Star Game for the first time in his career?

These are milestone achievements, so it would be strange if Link is not nervous.

Finally, at 7:30 pm, ESPN officially started the announcement ceremony of the NBA All-Star Team.

"Hello everyone, welcome to lock in espn! I think everyone has been waiting for this moment for a long time, so we won't talk much nonsense! Just now, the NBA officially announced the results of the second round of the All-Star Weekend voting. Magic center Dwight Howard became the vote leader again with 1161,797 votes! Derek Ross of the Chicago Bulls followed Howard and became another player in the league with more than 1 million votes with 1040,210 votes. Next, I will announce the list of the East and West star teams."

After saying that, the host took out a small envelope and became mysterious. In fact, there is a complete list of All-Stars online now, but the players have not watched it. Life still needs to have a sense of ritual. Go directly to the list, and there is no excitement to watch the live broadcast.

"The Western Conference vote king belongs to Kobe Bryant on the back line. His 1110,379 votes were catching up with Howard, and Chris Paul ranked second in the Western Conference defender with 835,026 votes. Therefore, the Western Conference against the two defenders, Kobe Bryant and Chris Paul, congratulations!"

This result is not surprising. Kobe and Paul are the two top guards in the league. Thinking of this, it is not difficult to understand why the "basketball reason" appeared this offseason. The two strongest guards in the league join forces, and the other teams will definitely not do it.

"Western forward, two consecutive scoring champion Kevin Durant is still ranked first with 973,152 votes, and he has determined the position of an All-Star." Speaking of this, the host deliberately paused. It seems that he is very clear about what fans are most eager to know.

"As for the other forward in the West, it is Tom Lin from the Memphis Grizzlies! He followed closely with 859,623 votes, ranking second in the Western Conference forward, becoming the second forward of the Western Conference All-Star team. Congratulations! Blake Griffin won 619,913 votes, only ranked third, missed the All-Star!"

"Haha!" The moment the result was announced, Link's room was frying.

Everyone cheered, and then hugged Link one by one! Randolph was even more exaggerated. This guy directly came with a "deep water bomb" and poured it onto the bed with a back-for-the-journey-like back, almost flattening the bed.

"All-stars,! Hut, it's amazing! Congratulations to Link, congratulations!"

"From now on, the Grizzlies will also have All-Star players! Hahaha!"

"Good Link, in the All-Star Game, let people see the style of the Grizzlies players!"

Link's ears were all yelling from his teammates. But he didn't feel noisy, but felt extremely happy. Another career milestone, won!

Of course, how can you forget the $1 million reward clause?

Soon, Link's phone kept ringing. George, Rachel, Brockman, Martha, parents, and managers Jeff Austin, including Kobe, etc., all called to congratulate him.

Link hasn't experienced the draft, but today he feels like waiting for the draft results with his family.

The whole family stayed in front of the TV just to wait until the person above called their names.

But this time, Link was really selected!

After all the results of the All-Stars were announced, Link found that his 850,000 votes were not low.

On the east side, Anthony, one of the forwards, received only 770,000 votes. On the west side, Paul only had 830,000 votes. On the big stage like Los Angeles, center Bynum played so much this season, only 770,000 votes.

After looking around, Link found that his votes were second only to Kobe and Durant, ranking third in the West!

It seems that even he underestimated his popularity. He and Griffin were on the same level as the last round of voting, but after the game in the past half month, he and Griffin had completely opened up the gap.

A month later, in Orlando, Link will not just be the protagonist of the "pad game". This time, he has become a serious All-Star player!

There will be a game tomorrow, and the hotel room also makes the Grizzlies' strong men unable to perform their fists, so the celebration will soon end. After a while, only Link and Randolph remained in the room.

"How does it feel?" Randolph patted Link on the shoulder with relief.

"I'm very excited, Zach, the dream comes true." Link did not hide his inner excitement. All-stars, this is an honor that many players will never have in their lifetime!

"Yes, the dream came true. But I guess, Los Angeles people may be so angry. Especially the Clippers' reporter named John Buha, he probably wants to swallow his previous words back, hahahahaha."

"Well, Los Angeles people are right. Zach. Are we about to fight the Clippers?" Link suddenly turned to look at Randolph. Randolph immediately took out his cell phone and called out the schedule.

Tomorrow, the Warriors will be played back to back, and No. 24 will open the Blazers back to back. After a day off, on January 26, the Grizzlies will be far away from the Staples Center. However, this time, the Grizzlies' opponent is no longer the Los Angeles Lakers, but the Clippers!

"Do you think the Clippers' revenge are very strong?" Link curled his lips. It's amazing to play the Clippers when they are so tired after being so tired after being back to back.

"Believe me Link," Randolph turned his head, "they will use the most intense firepower to retaliate against us."
Chapter completed!
