: One hundred: 2 villains (12/40)

On January 19, Bellinelli was knocked down, and finally he shot on Paul and killed the game.
On January 21st, with 4 fouls on his back, he blasted 14 points in a single quarter, and finally led the Grizzlies to complete the reversal and win the deadly enemy.
In the last two games, Link's performance has made the entire NBA crazy. If a player wants to be famous, a good game may not be enough. But if you catch the eye in two consecutive games, it's hard not to be noticed.
After the Hornets and Rockets games, Link has become a name most fans can call out. Even the NBA official finally gave Link the due recognition.
On January 23, the NBA officially announced the winners of this week's best rookie. In the west, Link defeated Cousins, Griffin and others and was successfully selected!
The Rookie of the Week award has not been a particularly high-profile award. But this time, because of Link's selection, the award suddenly became a lot of attention.
After all, this year's Blake Griffin is simply a popular monster. His wild way of playing, the huge market in Los Angeles and his status as the top pick make this guy very, very popular.
Link still remembered that even in China that year, there were a lot of reports about Griffin every day. His video collections of masters from all walks of life will be taken out and played again from time to time.
It can be said that the most eye-catching of the first-year rookies this year is Blake Griffin. If history does not shift, he almost won the Rookie of the Year award with a crushing advantage, and with his high popularity, he was selected for the All-Star Game in his rookie season.
However, it was such a rookie who dominated this season, but at this time was beaten by a loser. There is no doubt that this must have caused a huge topicality.
"Link is definitely one of the most successful rookies this year. Although he is not as successful as Blake. But it is not easy to break into people's vision as a failed draft pick."
"Anyone who has seen Link play knows how amazing he is. He will become a superstar. I dare say he is definitely the biggest missed NBA draft in recent years."
"He can shoot, defend, play hard and pass the ball. He should be a lottery pick. All NBA scouts should be ashamed of this!"
Reading the news in the newspaper, Link felt a little weird. This may be the first time that the media have praised him unanimously. He thought he beat Griffin to get the best of the week, and he would be bombarded by the media. Unexpectedly, the result was exactly the opposite of what he thought.
It seems that his strength is truly recognized.
But Link was not satisfied with it. He knew very well that he had a long way to go.
Blake Griffin is a living example. He has received superstar attention during his rookie season. The results of it? As a result, the more he played in his career, the more criticism he received.
In fact, Griffin of the Pistons was very mature when Link crossed over. However, when he truly ushered in psychological and technical maturity, he had already lost the superstar aura.
So, in the NBA, you must not be overwhelmed by the momentary success. Continued heat is the real victory.
Link checked the time, and it was almost time to leave. At this time, he should have practiced in the arena, but today, he has other things to do.
What is the most important thing besides training? Of course it's a commercial activity!
Jeff Austin has arrived in Memphis at this time. After the game between Link and the Rockets, Nike notified Austin that it would shoot a set of endorsement posters for Link.
As a player who only signed a cash contract, it stands to reason that Nike will not bother to shoot posters for such players.
But Nike is not stupid, they must have seen Link's potential and commercial value, so they seized the opportunity.
When Link drove to a street basketball court on Beale Street, the Nike shooting team had already gathered there. Of course, Jeff Austin has also arrived.
But to Link's surprise, he actually found his good friend and eldest brother Zach Randolph here.
"Zac? Why are you here?" After getting off the car, Link went straight to Randolph.
Randolph also looked surprised when he saw Link. He wondered why Link didn't practice any more today, and it turned out that it was because he wanted to shoot the poster.
"Nike said that it wanted the two of you to shoot together, so it invited you all. Why, they didn't notify you in advance?" Jeff Austin explained with a smile. Generally, there are several types of posters, individual and team. .
Usually the kind of two or three stars in concert is the latter. And Nike, today obviously wants to solve Link's personal poster and Grizzly's team poster together.
At first, Link was afraid that it would be troublesome to shoot the poster, but with Randolph with him, he instantly felt relieved.
I don't know why, but with this big bad guy, Link is always at ease. This is true both on and off the court.
Subsequently, the Nike crew took two dark blue Grizzlies away players to Randolph and Link. Although the Grizzlies’ away jersey is dark blue, it looks infinitely close to black because it is too dark.
"Why the away jersey? Aren't we in Memphis?" Randolph took the jersey and spit out casually.
"Wearing near-black away jerseys, you look more like villains, which is more in line with your temperament."
After listening to the explanation from the Nike staff, Link and Randolph looked at each other and then smiled.
The villain? Well, they like this role positioning.
Stop the Western powers like the Thunder and the Lakers, and kill direct competitors like the Hornets and Rockets in a cold-blooded manner. The rough physical contact, the vicious buckle, the rogue flop...Think about it, the Grizzlies really look like a big villain. The only difference from the movie is that the Grizzlies, the villain, always wins the game.
It’s exciting to be a villain, right?
In this way, Link and Randolph were wearing Grizzlies away jerseys and took a group of photos. I believe that in a week, brand new posters of the two of them will appear in the major Nike stores in Memphis.
After the filming mission is over, Jeff Austin is still busy with Gasol’s business activities, so he left first. Nike's team also went back to their homes, and in the end, only the two "villain leaders" Link and Randolph remained.
"We are the only ones left again? Let's go, you said you would invite me to dinner with a salary." Randolph waved his hand and greeted Link to get in the car.
"You have a good memory, Zach. Where to go?"
"It's okay, just don't eat high-fat and high-calorie foods, otherwise Hollins will kill me. Did you know? He always thought that I was fat, but in fact I was just strong."
Seeing Randolph forcibly justifying himself like this, Link couldn't listen anymore. Your fat is already visible to the naked eye, okay?
Finally, Link and Randolph went to a steak shop. But instead of ordering steak, they ordered a portion of boiled chicken breast, with black pepper and vegetable salad.
While sitting and waiting for the food, Link looked at Randolph with a face full of flesh and became curious about it again. So he asked again.
"Zach, why did you change so much after you came to Memphis?"
Randolph raised his head, no more hippie smiles, he could see that he was serious. This time he didn't play haha, but supported his chin with both hands, as if to tell a long story.
"Are you really so interested?" Randolph asked.
