275: The most special star showdown (5/6 ask for a monthly ticket)
In the afternoon of that day, the training hall of the Federal Express Arena was very lively and the atmosphere was very happy.
Yesterday, Link just scored 10 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists, 5 steals and 3 blocks, and was a hot league. Today, Mark Gasol was selected for the Western Conference All-Star team. The Grizzlies were in a double happiness, so everyone was in a good mood during the afternoon training.
The Memphis media are naturally very proud. Previously, the Grizzlies had only two All-Star players, Paul Gasol and Randolph. Among them, Gasol went away from the Lakers and failed to become a symbol of the Grizzlies. Randolph was a halfway starter, not trained by the Grizzlies themselves.
But Link and Gasol Jr. are All-Star players trained by the Grizzlies step by step! Although Link has the identity of an old Rockets player, most people don’t think that his experience with the Rockets has helped Link much.
Although Gasol Jr. was exchanged for the Grizzlies from the Lakers, he has been playing for the Grizzlies since the first day he entered the league.
In the past, there were only two All-Stars in the team's history. Now, two people have entered the All-Star Game at once. Can the Memphis media not be proud?
Link and Gasol Jr. have become the full idols of Memphis City. Jeff Austin is almost laughing. Why? Because Link and Gasol Jr. are both his clients!
Suddenly there were two all-star customers under his command. He would be willing to go to Guoben if you called Austin.
Link and Gasol Jr. were both selected as All-Stars, which can be said to be a happy thing, which directly caused a win-win situation.
Austin even arranged Nike staff that night to shoot a set of posters for Link and Gasol Jr. It can be said that the action was quite fast. As long as it has commercial value, Jeff Austin will catch it as soon as possible.
Gasol originally wanted to shave off his chaotic beard like a homeless man before taking photos, but was caught by Link. The Spanish plan to shave his beard again
So, Link and Gasol Jr., both wore their chin-filled beards and completed their first photo of being selected as the All-Star.
After shooting the poster in the evening, Austin took two of his customers to a rooftop bar and sat down. Austin was in a good mood and ordered a cocktail for himself, while Link and Gasol, two big guys with beards and male hormones, had only one glass of juice in front of him.
"It's simply incredible, congratulations! Although I've been saying this all day, I still want to congratulate you. You are my pride, the Grizzlies, and the pride of all Memphis!" Jeff Austin raised his glass excitedly, and Link and Gasol Jr. happily picked up the juice and met their manager.
Who would be unhappy if his strength is recognized and he still makes money?
"By the way, what's going on with the Grizzlies recently? Why everyone has grown a beard? Are you participating in any charity activities? Link, you are not suitable for bearding, it makes you look too old. Mark, you look good with bearding, but it's too long, you're almost catching up with James Harden!"
"Puff!" When Link heard Jeff Austin ask, he almost spit out a mouthful of juice.
Gasol turned his head and looked down at the night view of Memphis from a high altitude, his eyes full of tears.
It tastes quite like "Why are my eyes full of tears, because I love this land deeply."
"No reason, we just made a bet together. If everything goes well, after the regular season, all of us will look at least three or four years younger. Mark's words would probably be ten years younger, hahahahaha!"
"I shouldn't have participated in this bet at the beginning, really." Gasol shook his head helplessly. There was no way, but the growth rate of his hair was so terrible.
Originally, Gasol had long hair like his brother and a big beard. If he had sunglasses and a motorcycle, it would be really too punk.
"By the way, Link, do you know Jeremy Lin? He seems to be quite popular lately, even more dramatic than your sudden appearance last season. Before scoring 25 points against the Nets, he only played nine games, and played for only 55 minutes in total. He is not the Knicks' planned point guard. Jeremy Lin is just a point guard picked up from the Houston Rockets abandoned roster, and his non-guaranteed contract will end in a few days. As a result, he fought in one game.
In the end of the game against the Nets, all Madison Square Garden shouted his name. Yesterday, the Knicks played against the Jazz. He scored 28+8 in the first appearance, and it was revealed that he could only sleep on the sofa at his teammate's house because he had no money. This is simply the script of a Hollywood sane movie!" Jeff Austin suddenly remembered another Asian player who was popular all over the United States today, so he started chatting with Link and Gasol Jr.
"Uh, is another Rocket abandoned??" Link was speechless. Why can the Rockets always wade into this muddy water?
"You seem to say that. Although he was cut by the Warriors before, he did play for the Rockets before the Knicks became famous." Austin also found that Morey's face was dark enough.
"I don't know him, and I haven't had much contact with him before. Although we are both Chinese, we don't know each other privately. But I think his miracle won't stop there." Link looked at the juice in the cup, and the more he looked, the more he looked like the Knicks' main color.
"Do you really think so? In the next game, the Knicks' opponent is the Wizards. The Chinese with the same surname as you will face the No. 1 pick Wall. In the next game, the Knicks will face the Lakers. These two games are not easy to play. Do you still think he can continue his myth?"
"Yes, I still think he can continue his myth. That guy's outbreak was not accidental. Mike D'Anthony's system was extremely dependent on point guards, and Anthony couldn't beat him and no one robbed him of the right to take action, so Jeremy Lin's data will only go higher and higher. But in Memphis No. 12, everything may not be certain." Link smiled, Lin was crazy, maybe he would be redefined.
After all, he is also a selves.

On February 8, 2012, the Grizzlies played against the Timberwolves at home. Link appeared on the sidelines in a suit and tie. According to his agreement with Hollins, Link did not play today. But even so, the Grizzlies still defeated the invading Minnesota Timberwolves 95-90.
The wolf from the north was beaten into a husky again.
Guy, who regained the power to fire, scored the highest 19 points in the team, Pondsett, who played in substitute Link, lived up to expectations and scored 17 points, Gasol Jr. had 12 points and 8 rebounds, and the Grizzlies won without any danger.
Today, since Link did not appear, his attention was not that high.
But on another field, another Lin, as Link expected, gave a shocking performance.
In Washington, DC, Jeremy Lin scored 23 points and 10 assists, scoring a double-double for the first time in his career, playing a close match with No. 1 point guard Wall!
On February 8, the Grizzlies did not play, while the Knicks fought against the Lakers at home. Jeremy Lin scored a career-high 38 points. After the game, he spoke bluntly at the camera, "I asked him to get almost 40 points. What advice do you have for him?"
Kobe was really convinced, why did an Asian monster suddenly appear? Moreover, they are all called Lin!
On February 10, Link, who had disappeared on the basketball court for 4 days, finally played. After defeating the Spurs with 10 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists, 5 steals and 3 blocks in the last game, Link scored another 24 points, 11 assists and 5 rebounds today, helping the Grizzlies defeat the Pacers at home, and the Grizzlies won four consecutive games!
On the same day, Jeremy Lin scored 20 points, 8 assists and 6 rebounds, using his all-round data to help the Knicks, who did not have Anthony, narrowly defeated the Timberwolves with 2 points, and the Knicks ushered in the longest five-game winning streak!
After these two games, Link and Jeremy Lin appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated Magazine at the same time. In the NBA, two Chinese people occupied most of the content of Sports Illustrated, which is the first time in history.
Now, the whole world is waiting for the arrival of the 12th.
Chapter completed!
