274: Storm Warning (4/6 ask for monthly pass)
Link didn't know why he fell asleep, maybe he was really too tired.
After returning to the locker room, the team doctor checked Link and confirmed that Link was not injured. He only sent Link to the shower and took a shower after just because of fatigue.
After the shower, Link wanted to massage and wait for his teammates to come back to celebrate the victory. As a result, he fell asleep after just lying in the physiotherapy room.
So, Link was the first to go back to the locker room, but the last player to the Grizzlies knew they had won. Link was not called until the Grizzlies were about to leave the gym.
After a word of rising, Link asked, "Did we win or lose!"
And Randolph told him, "The game has ended almost an hour, and we led the Spurs by 5 minutes until the last second."
Link smiled tiredly, but he wanted to jump up and hug every teammate. Unfortunately, he didn't have that strength anymore. When he turned around and passed by the moment Leonard reached out to steal, Link squeezed out the last trace of power in his body.
When he walked out of the stadium, Link found that there were still a lot of reporters waiting for him outside the Att Center. As one of the most important players in this game, Link was unable to interview him because he left the court early. Therefore, the reporters kept squatting outside the stadium, waiting for Link to appear.
"Go quickly, because they have been waiting for you for so long." Hollins signaled Link to say a few words, which could be considered an explanation to the reporters.
Link walked towards the reporter, and suddenly, the flashes in front of him were filled with flashes. Hollins, who was sitting on the bus, smiled with relief. This kid was becoming more and more like a Western All-Star player.
Look at this scene, even Paul Gasol was not that popular back then.
Finally, dragging his tired body, the Grizzlies players finally boarded the plane home.
Although everyone was exhausted, everyone had a satisfied smile on their faces. They challenged the Celtics and the Spurs away, and the most difficult round back-to-back, the Grizzlies spent a high-profile victory with a magical record of two consecutive victories!
With such achievements, all the hard work is worth it.
In the early morning, the Grizzlies players finally arrived in Memphis, who had been away for a long time. Everyone disbanded on the spot and took a bus home to sleep.
Link fell asleep as soon as he got home and even forgot to take off his clothes. At the same time, a huge storm was brewing. When the sun rose the next morning, the entire NBA world would be dominated by a yellow whirlwind.
※※※
Link was woken up by the sound of his cell phone, and a text message prompted him to pull Link out of his sleep. He looked at the screen of his cell phone, and before he knew it, he actually slept until ten o'clock!
Link hurriedly got up and looked out the window. Sure enough, although it was winter, it was already bright outside at 10 o'clock.
Link sat on the bed and looked at the text message he had just received. It was sent by head coach Lionel Hollins.
Hollins said that Link would do some restorative training this afternoon. He would play the Timberwolves at home tomorrow and would not play. After recovering well, he would return to the team.
Link had no objection to this, so he went back to "ok".
Although he was not injured, he was indeed exhausted. If he continued to play in high intensity, he would increase the risk of injury.
Link doesn't want to show off his strength. He fights when he should fight and rest when he should rest. The Timberwolves' record has indeed improved this season, but they are still a bottom-line. Moreover, the Grizzlies still play at home, so it's okay to rest. In order for the rest of the season to go smoothly, it's still necessary to relax and relax.
After all, a real man is a long-lasting man.
Hollins notified Link by text message, maybe he didn't want to wake him up. But unfortunately, Link was still awakened.
After waking up, Link simply turned on the TV and watched sports news as usual. While watching the news, he made breakfast for himself.
"I have to admit that he messed up my offensive arrangements. Without him, our offense would have gone very smoothly. I have never seen a player like him, running from corner to corner, from half to half. Never stop, tireless, and at all costs! He is a terrible opponent, and he deserves the victory."
From TV, Link heard Popovich's comments on himself yesterday. To be honest, Link was quite happy to be admitted by Popovich.
But like Popovich, Link now has a headache when he mentions the Spurs. Leonard's unkind defense and the team's offense that is so overwhelming that makes Link feel tired even if he thinks about it.
Yesterday was the first time in history that Link played physically overdrawn. After all, physical strength has always been Link’s strength. From NCAA to Development League to NBA, he has never been overdrawn.
This precious first time actually fell into the hands of the Spurs. So when you think of the Spurs, Link felt nauseous.
No, what a precious first time
Link shook his head, preventing himself from thinking about it anymore, and then continued to listen to sports news while frying eggs.
"NBA officially announced the full list of the 2012 full weekend main match today. In addition to the confirmed players, the substitute list has also been officially announced."
Upon hearing this news, Link looked at the large screen of the TV. He didn't know if he didn't watch it, and he was very surprised when he saw it.
On the Western Conference All-Stars roster, Link not only saw his own name, but also the name of Marc Gasol!
That guy has also become a member of the All-Star team!
During the All-Star vote, Gasol Jr. ranked behind Bynum and DeAndrew Jordan. Although Bynum became the Western Conference center with an overwhelming advantage, Gasol Jr. eventually realized his All-Star dream as a substitute.
Although Link knew something that would happen in the future, he was not a search engine after all, and not everything was remembered in detail. He knew that Gasol Jr. was selected as the All-Star, but he really couldn't remember how many times and what year it was.
So, today, Link was very excited when he heard that Gasol Jr. was selected for the All-Star team. This year, he finally didn't have to participate in the All-Star Weekend game alone. And in the All-Star team locker room full of big shots, there was an acquaintance, so Link could relax.
Speaking of which, the Grizzlies actually have two All-Star players appear this year! In Memphis, where the stars are dim, this may be the first time in history.
Link immediately called Gasol Jr. and prepared to congratulate him, but Gasol's phone was still in the state of being on the phone.
It is estimated that Gasol's phone number has been blown up now. It seems that Link can only congratulate him in person at the training hall this afternoon.
Finally, everything on the TV screen turned into what the Knicks played against the Jazz at home yesterday. Link estimated that this news should be that guy Anthony scored another 40 points.
However, as soon as the broadcaster's voice came out, Link was stunned.
"Last night, the New York Knicks played well in the last game against the Utah Jazz, Jeremy Lin, an Asian player who performed well in the last game, got his first starting opportunity in his career. Although Amare Stoudemier took a leave at the funeral and Cameron Anthony, the New York star, was injured and left the game after only less than six minutes, but the New York Knicks still defeated the Utah Jazz with Jeremy Lin's 99-88 with his 28-point and 8 assists. In the last game, Jeremy Lin scored 25 points, 7 assists and 5 rebounds, and was born. Yesterday, Jeremy Lin showed excellent data again for the first time. I don't know how long the Asian crazy performance will last."
Looking at the picture on the TV and looking at the guy with the same skin color as him, Link couldn't help swallowing.
He almost forgot about playing games every day this year. It is February 2012 now. This means that Lin Crazy, which has swept the world, is about to attack!
Link then hurriedly looked at his phone. Sure enough, all NBAs were flooded with the screen by him and Jeremy Lin, two Asians!
The Grizzlies' home match against the New York Knicks on February 12 has been taken out for various hypes!
Chapter completed!
