: One Thousand and Twenty-Three: A Bright Future

It was the first time Mike Brin saw Link at such close distance.
　　
　　 Even though he is wearing a suit today, he greets everyone kindly with a smile.
　　
　　 But Mike Brin still felt that Link was full of kingly breath.
　　
　　 He was extremely confident and did not feel nervous because of the first attempt to explain the game.
　　
　　 He didn't panic, he was very calm when facing anyone.
　　
how to say?
　　
　　 Link may be the kind of man who can radiate his charm on any occasion.
　　
　　 Even if he doesn't do anything deliberately, he will become the focus of the audience.
　　
　　 "Hello, Mike, it is my honor to cooperate with you to explain the game." Link and Mike Brin shook hands politely.
　　
　　 "I am also honored, Link. But I have to remind you not to swear in the game."
　　
　　 "Hahahaha, don't worry, Mike. I don't know how to swear, but Draymond Green in Brazil may swear." Link waved his hand and joked.
　　
　　 "Did you really think that Serbia has a chance yesterday, or did you just say that?" Before the game started, Mike Brin asked Link seriously.
　　
"Mike, I know that I often speak unexpectedly. But you have to believe that I never speak casually. You should know this better than anyone. No matter how unreasonable what I said at the time, it will change eventually. Into reality."
　　
　　 Link stared at Mike Brin confidently, which made Mike Brin even more looking forward to this game.
　　
　　 Yes, Link never said anything. So today, Serbia may really come up with enough magical performance.
　　
　　 Then, he and Mike Brin officially started the commentary of the game in the studio.
　　
　　 As soon as the game started, ESPN's ratings soared.
　　
　　 Serbia’s match with the Dream Team may not be interesting, but everyone believes that Link’s commentary will never be boring.
　　
　　 "Lin Ke, some people say that your previous remarks were just grandstanding, but just creating heat. What do you think of people's interpretation of you?"
　　
"I am Link, do I still need to make my enthusiasm specifically? When I got married, I didn't notify any media, but my enthusiasm did not drop at all. This statement is completely nonsense. I think it is them. Want to use me to create heat."
　　
　　 As soon as the first question opened, Link's outspoken style made the fans excited.
　　
　　 They are ready and want to hear how Green will spray Green in the game later.
　　
　　 At the same time in Brazil, Serbia and Dream Team players have begun to warm up.
　　
　　 Link opened his mouth wide in surprise when he saw Jokic on the computer screen in the studio.
　　
　　 He has never seen Jokic so thin!
　　
　　 The thick fat on that guy's body is gone, replaced by distinct muscle lines.
　　
　　 It seems that Jokic is indeed very hard when training with the national team recently. He has not been lazy or stealing food. Everything is strictly according to the plan.
　　
　　 Of course, few people care about Jokic's figure. Almost all the live footage was given to the Dream Team, to Durant, George, and Owen.
　　
　　 There is no doubt that the lineup of the Dream Team this year is still exaggerated.
　　
　　 randomly pulled out one from the inside, they were all characters with heads and faces. Jimmy Butler, the former Grizzlies veteran and now the core of the Chicago Bulls, can only play as a substitute in the dream team.
　　
　　 This unbelievably powerful lineup is the source of confidence for the Dream Team.
　　
　　 The game started very quickly. Since Jokic is the youngest player on the Serbian team, he did not get a chance to start.
　　
　　 Serbia is not weak, so it's not necessarily a player who has played in the NBA that can start.
　　
　　 The current Serbian team’s starting center is Miloslav Radulica, who has also survived in the NBA and has more experience in the competition than Jokic.
　　
　　 As the main center of the Serbian team two years ago, he also won the runner-up of the Basketball World Cup with the team.
　　
　　 Therefore, he naturally secured the starting center position of the team.
　　
　　 This is why Link emphasized in the show that Jokic can perform well under the condition of "abundant playing time".
　　
　　 After the start of the game, the Dream Team played Serbia 8-0 as soon as it came up, and then easily established a double-digit lead.
　　
　　 It seems that Serbia is helpless in front of the dream team.
　　
　　 The camera on the scene scanned the stands. Many American fans in the stands have already begun to play with their phones.
　　
　　 At this time, I don't know how many people are laughing at Link, waiting to see how Link will end.
　　
　　 Even Mike Brin squeezed his sweat for Link, so he turned his head and glanced at Link.
　　
　　 But Link in the studio is very relaxed and not anxious at all.
　　
　　 "Link, how do you think Serbia should adjust its strategy now? They have been rubbed on the ground."
　　
　　 "No adjustments, they just haven't replaced the best players. That's right, I'm talking about Jokic!" Link looked at the computer screen and the head coach of the Serbian team.
　　
　　 Finally, in the last three minutes of the first quarter, when Serbia was already 13 points behind, Nikola Jokic took off his training uniform and he was about to play!
　　
　　 At the same time, the "Old K" coach of the dream team replaced Green with a small lineup, hoping that the team would speed up and take it directly, turning the next three quarters into garbage time.
　　
　　 Green and Jokic formally face up, which has sapped the fans' appetite!
　　
　　 "The highlight of this game is coming. Green once said that he will take good care of Jokic. Do you think Jokic can withstand the pressure?" Mike Brin continued to help Link find a topic.
　　
　　 "Pressure? If it doesn't exist, the Grizzlies will hit Green the best." Link replied softly, showing an expectant look.
　　
　　 Jokic came on the field, he frowned, no longer the childishness of the past.
　　
　　 Serbia attacked for the first time after returning from a timeout. Green stood by Jokic, not planning to give the white fat boy any chance.
　　
　　 Last season, in the Western Conference Finals, he made Jokic very uncomfortable.
　　
　　 Jokic screened the Serbian point guard "European King" Teodosic, and then quickly cut into the low post.
　　
　　 Teodosic made a pass from the gap and sent the ball to Jokic.
　　
　　 Jokic received the basketball on the side of the three-second zone, and Green immediately held Jokic's waist.
　　
　　 However, Jokic did not gouge in, nor did he play singles.
　　
　　 After receiving the basketball, he gently raised his hand across Green, pushing the ball to the basket, and didn't even jump very much.
　　
　　 This action is quite amateur, not like a professional player made it, but more like an old man exercising on the field.
　　
　　Everyone is going to have a belly and laugh, this fat guy? Make trouble for the dream team?
　　
　　 As a result, the basketball jumped directly into the net. As soon as Jokic played, he scored two points for Serbia!
　　
　　 "This..." Mike Brin wanted to call "a beautiful goal", but this goal is really not beautiful at all...
　　
　　 It feels like Jokic just stood in place and threw the ball in. He was lazy and didn't have the vigor of a young player. The ball is not so much strength as it is good luck.
　　
　　 "What am I talking about? The Grizzlies players are not soft when facing Green! This is just the beginning, look good!" Link is very excited, because he knows that Jokic is in this style!
　　
　　 He is always lazy in his movements, and his playing style is not radical.
　　
　　 But who said that the game style must be aggressive to be a good player?
　　
　　 Anthony glanced at Green, but Green just shrugged, both of them were speechless about the soft goal.
　　
　　 Then, the Dream Team attacked. Owen was double-teamed just after halftime, so he divided the ball to Anthony.
　　
　　 Anthony broke through with the ball and found another flanking, so he passed the ball to Green in the low post.
　　
　　 After receiving the ball, Green went straight to the basket. He wanted to drive Jokic and layup.
　　
　　 So, he ran directly into it without reservation.
　　
　　 Jokic was not afraid, he raised his arms and waited for the basket.
　　
　　 "Boom!"
　　
　　 The two collided, but Green failed to advance half a step, but was bounced back!
　　
　　 "This!?" Green was very surprised. He remembered that Jokic was not so hard when he played the Western Conference Finals in May!
　　
　　 Without much consideration, Green went straight to the basket.
　　
　　 But as soon as he threw the ball away, he found a strong arm between the basketball and the hoop.
　　
"Snapped!"
　　
　　 Jokic flew out the racket lightly. Unlike other big centers who tried to block the shots of Xishan, Jokic still didn't have any domineering shots. It felt like he just touched the basketball lightly.
　　
　　 But whether it's a fan or a light touch, he is considered to have completed the block!
　　
　　 The dream team players in the audience were all dumbfounded. Although Link’s speech yesterday caused a great influence on public opinion, few people actually took Jokic seriously.
　　
　　 A second-round show. After being selected, he went to Europe to exercise for a year. Last season, he averaged only 10 points per game... It doesn't look great at all!
　　
　　 However, the white fat man's growth rate is faster than everyone imagined.
　　
　　The Dream Team retreated quickly, so although Jokic successfully blocked shots, Serbia did not complete the counterattack.
　　
　　 Both sides fell into position again, Jokic was in place at the top of the arc outside the three-point line, Teodosic chose to pass the ball to Jokic after failing to break through Irving.
　　
　　 But while passing the ball, Irving’s hand touched the ball, so the trajectory of the ball was a bit high, and Jokic had to jump up to catch the ball.
　　
　　 As a result, when he received the basketball in the air, before landing, Jokic pushed the ball directly into the penalty area!
　　
　　 At this time, another Serbian defender, Nemalia Nedević, just cut from the bottom line, and after receiving the basketball, he directly took off and made a layup.
　　
　　On the field, the five dream team players all looked at each other dumbfounded.
　　
　　 Jokic's pass was so sudden that they still haven't figured out what happened.
　　
what's the situation! ? Why was it scored! ? Isn't it all dead? ?
　　
　　 On the bench, old K was also taken aback.
　　
　　 Even Divac, who was hailed as the "Most Passing Center", could not pass this kind of ball!
　　
　　 His vision, his passing accuracy, and his physical coordination are as good as a superstar!
　　
　　 After this, Jokic staged another scene of scratching the board behind Green's head.
　　
　　 Generally speaking, only by jumping much better than the opponent can the rebound be forcibly taken from the back of the opponent's head without occupying a favorable position.
　　
　　 Link has performed such a good show in the game more than once.
　　
　　 Ke Jokic’s take-off height is like that of old Duncan. With his excellent take-off timing and the advantages of his height and wingspan, he stunned the basketball before Green, and then grabbed the basket again to get the rebound.
　　
　　 After grabbing the rebound, Jokic raised the basketball with one hand and flung the ball forward seemingly.
　　
　　 Basketball found a teammate with precision like a bullet, and assisted the latter with easy dunks with both hands! Once again, Jokic, who looked lazy, successfully helped the team score.
　　
　　 scored 6 points in a row, after Jokic came on, Serbia immediately changed the situation!
　　
　　 "What am I talking about? Serbia was behind before, just because they didn't send the strongest player."
　　
　　 Link smiled triumphantly. On the court, the Dream Team called a timeout. The camera was shown to Green, and he was swearing off the court.
　　
　　 As Link said before, he doesn't swear, but Green will!
　　
After 　　, Jokic's performance continued to rise. Even if old K changed his position to confront him, he still couldn't suppress the upward momentum of the fat boy.
　　
　　 DeAndre Jordan grabbed a defensive rebound, but Jokic broke out suddenly and scored a goal.
　　
　　 Jokic dropped after the pick-and-roll, not afraid of Cousins ​​and Anthony's blocking, and dunked with both hands.
　　
　　 received the basketball in the mid-range, and the teammate who made the false shot assisted the basket easily put the ball in.
　　
　　 received the ball at the waist on the right, facing Green’s defense, took off directly on the spot and leaned back with difficulty, the basketball hit the board...
　　
　　 Jokic has become the most dazzling star today, even a member of the shining dream team, he is not as good as him.
　　
　　 He knows that Serbia’s current qualifying situation is very bad.
　　
　　 He knows that the players of the US team are also players. If you always think about how great they are, you will not have a great performance.
　　
　　 He knows that he and the greatest player in the world are teammates, and the others are nothing to fear.
　　
　　 He also knows that this game is the only chance he can drink Coke after returning to the Olympics!
　　
　　 So today, Nikola Jokic shocked the world!
　　
　　 Jokic's performance also allowed Serbia's score to surpass the Dream Team!
　　
　　 Then, the two teams fought anxiously to the last minute!
　　
　　Dream Team’s players were inattentive from the beginning, to serious competitions and then very nervous now. Link's mental journey made Link complain again and again.
　　
　　 No one takes Serbia seriously, no one takes Jokic seriously, no one takes Link’s words seriously.
　　
　　 But when the dream team only led by 3 points in the last 32 seconds of the game, they all knew they were wrong!
　　
　　 Link did not brag!
　　
"Link is right. Serbia has caused huge problems for the Dream Team. Jokic's performance has humiliated the Dream Team's inside players! He made 11 of 14 shots today and scored 25 points and 8 efficiently. Rebounds and 7 assists! The three major insiders of the Dream Team, Cousins, Jordan and Draymond Green, only scored 18 points, not as many points as Jokic alone."
　　
　　 Mike Brin looked at the statistics in surprise, the score on the court, and the nervous old K.
　　
　　 Before the game, who would have expected this situation?
　　
　　 Link expected it!
　　
　　 What a god!
　　
　　 Those fans and the media who were waiting to see Link's jokes are now speechless.
　　
　　 Grizzlies players can be surprising everywhere.
　　
　　 However, it is a pity that Serbia eventually lost by 3 points and lost to the Dream Team.
　　
　　 Jokic shot the last goal from the three-point line and had a chance to tie the score. But it is a pity that the three-pointer slammed out of the box and he failed to carry the miracle to the end.
　　
　　 Although the goal was not scored, it did not prevent Link from continuing to complain, "God, it's a pity. I bet that the moment Jokic made a shot, Draymond Green's pants were wet!"
　　
　　 Jokic waved his fist in disappointment, turned and walked towards the player tunnel.
　　
　　 and what is left are the data and achievements that shocked the whole world.
　　
　　 Serbia won the Dream Team by four points because of a second-round center from the Grizzlies!
　　
　　 Link looked at Jokic's back and couldn't help but laugh.
　　
　　 First, Dinwiddie, who is getting more and more accurate in three-pointers, and Harrell and Richardson, who have made great progress.
　　
　　 Now, Jokic has also proven himself.
　　
　　 The next season of the Grizzlies~EbookFREE.me~ is very promising!
　　
　　 The hardest road, maybe it really works!
　　
"Link, this game is incredible! How did you expect it? How did you know Jokic would play so well today!?" Mike Brin swallowed, and Link performed miracles on the court. He saw too much.
　　
　　 But it was the first time to perform miracles on the commentary stage!
　　
　　 "No, actually, I didn't expect it." Link shook his head lightly.
　　
　　 "What!? You mean, you didn't actually expect this game to be so intense?"
　　
"No, I mean, I didn't expect the Dream Team to win. Fuck, they were so lucky. But next time they face Jokic, their luck won't be so good. Especially. It's Draymond Green, I bet he has angered Jokic."
　　
　　 Finally, Link couldn't help but cursed a swear word.
