: 645: Small cities are not lacking in attention

Link sat on the plane returning to Memphis, feeling uneasy.
Today, the Grizzlies flight took off half an hour longer than planned. It wasn't because of an accident that happened to the Grizzlies, but because when Link got out of the hotel and entered the airport, he was frantically blocked by reporters!
Since the NBA has detailed technical statistics, the first player to score a 50-point triple-double in a single game. The weight of this title is not trivial, and it is certainly not simple to stick to the "first in history".
Link has become the hottest star now. All reporters waited at the gates of hotels and airports overnight, just to interview Link, the first person in history.
Therefore, in the process of squeezing out the hotel and squeezing into the airport, the Grizzlies players spent more time than usual. In this way, the flight was forced to be delayed.
"Hello, Link."
Just as Link was sitting in a daze about the incredible record he had created, Iguodala walked to Link's side and called out.
"Ah!?" Hearing someone calling himself, Link came back to his senses.
"Hey, sign me quickly."
"Ah!?" Link found out that he had become a repeater, and even his teammates asked for his signature? It's too exaggerated!
"My son is arguing for your autograph. Hey, as an NBA star, my son doesn't adore his father, but his teammates. I am under a lot of pressure like you, Link, hahahaha."
"Stop signing. I'll send a pair of signed signature shoes to your house tomorrow. Don't mess with me, Andre, I'm dizzy now." Link waved his hand, and then held his forehead.
It happened so suddenly that Link himself felt caught off guard.
Last night, he really didn't want to break any record, let alone do something that has never been done before.
It's just that George is really too strong, so Link has to force himself to work harder and harder.
Then, it made a 50-point triple-double.
As a result, when interviewed after the game, the reporters didn't mention the historical first thing at all, because it is estimated that even they themselves did not realize what Link did!
This record is indeed relatively unpopular, and it has not been mentioned for so many years, and everyone is a little surprised.
When the media reacted, Link had already left the court. Failing to conduct an interview on this matter in time, the media must try their best to make it up the next day.
No wonder, the Grizzlies will be delayed by reporters today.
Link naturally wouldn't look at which records can be broken all day long, so he really got himself into this situation by accident.
The feeling of shocking myself by accident is really amazing.
Link felt that he might be the first player to break the record and then scared him because the record was too exaggerated.
But on second thought, Link did indeed achieve something ahead of the times. When Westbrook and Harden scored 50-point triple-doubles several times in the future, the fans were not surprised by the various exaggerated statistics.
In that era when three-pointers and fast-paced basketball were all the rage, the stars always sent out exaggerated data every three to five. But it is the end of 2013, and now a player can score more than 35 points in a single game, which is already very impressive!
Things beyond the era usually cause a sensation, and Link's 50-point triple-double is naturally no exception.
Link has a headache now, so popular in Indianapolis, he can't imagine what it will be like after he resists Memphis.
Last night, Link and George were still discussing the issue of small cities and concerns. Generally speaking, players in big cities must pay more attention, and higher attention means higher commercial value. This is why, many stars want to go to the big city.
But for now, even if Link is in Memphis, he doesn't lack attention at all.
On the contrary, Link still feels that his attention is too high now, and he doesn't know how to get out later.
In vagueness, the stewardess reminded everyone that the plane started to land. Outside the window, Link had also seen the land of Tennessee.
Link took a deep breath, as if facing an enemy. I'll be at the airport later, I can't go home without killing my life...

"Link is already making history. You must admit that he is likely to become the greatest player of this era! No, maybe he is now!"
"Everyone thought that the second decade of the 21st century belonged to LeBron James, but Link's turnout broke James' plan."
"How difficult is a 50-point triple-double? Others deliberately want to use this data, and they may not be able to get it. Although Link only scored 39 points at the end of regular time, there is no triple-double. But even with overtime, It is extremely difficult to get this data."
"Link once again proved that basketball is non-racial. In the future, we also want to see more and more Asian players in the league."
On the TV, there was a disorganized discussion of Link's program.
No matter which channel you switch to, as long as it is a channel related to sports, you are all talking about Link.
Link's 50-point triple-double was so popular that it was no less than the "Lin Madness" incident that he and Jeremy Lin created back then, and it had even greater impact than that time.
The TV was on in Link's living room, but the programs on himself on it had no way to attract Link's interest and attention.
He is tired.
And at this time, Link is getting confused by the new business activities arranged by Austin.
Again, the increase in attention is directly proportional to the increase in the player's commercial value.
After Link hit a 50-point triple-double, a bunch of commercial activities came again.
"Gatorade’s endorsement will be accepted. Anyway, it’s just taking time to shoot posters. By the way, during the All-Star Game, there are several clothing brands inviting you to have dinner. It seems that this year your All-Star trip It will be very busy, but I have to go to Link. Oh, and..."
Link put the phone on the table and turned on the handsfree.
Jeff Austin had been saying this for half an hour, and Link was so sleepy he was leaning against the sofa and napping.
Sure enough, life as a big star is sometimes not as wonderful as people think.
From squeezing out of the airport to the present, Link has not stopped. I will be interviewed for a while, then I have to deal with the fans.
Instead, only in the few hours in the training hall, Link felt that the whole world was quiet.
"Link, Link! Are you still listening?"
"I'm here, as long as you don't interrupt the training, it's okay." Link replied lazily. In fact, he didn't listen to a word.
"Stupid boy, this is the first time I have met someone who has created a league record but is so listless. Forget it, talk to you about something you are interested in. Next summer, your contract with the Grizzlies will expire. Is there any what idea?"
Sure enough, as soon as he talked about this topic, Link's eyes flashed, "I don't have any ideas, and the contract extension with the Grizzlies is over."
"I knew you would answer like that. Are you sure you won't look at the offers of other teams? I have received news that if the Heat do not win the championship this summer, the Big Three will most likely disband. Teaming up with LeBron, no It's impossible. By the way, the Lakers are also beckoning people in the free agency market with checks. Didn't you say that you are a Lakers fan? Don't consider it?"
"I don't have to think about it. I was a Lakers fan when I was a fan, but now I am a player, not a fan." Link opened his hand.
"Hahahaha, good boy. Now in this league, loyalty is less and less common. James signs a 1+1 contract every year, so that he can leave at any time. In the future, there will definitely be more and more. The more stars imitate him to sign 1+1 contracts. I am very happy that you can have your own persistence. But as a professional manager, I must remind you that a big city like Los Angeles is actually more suitable for your development~www. EbookFREE.me~ Even so, do you want to stay in Memphis?"
"I want to stay, Jeff." Link answered without hesitation for even a second.
"Well, that's good. In this case, I can formally contact your general manager. They regret that they only signed with you for three years, because if they signed for four years, they can now get ahead of you. The contract has been renewed, there is no need to put you in the free agency market. I have already had initial contact with Chris Wallace, and I have to say, Link, your boss is trying to keep you this time. "
"Really? How much are they willing to bid?" Link smiled. He wasn't worried that the Grizzlies would treat him badly, he was just curious about the price of his next contract.
After all, the contract price means not only money for players, but also recognition of you.
"I can't say yet, and there is no exact number. I can only tell you that the players who make history should be matched with the price of making history."
Austin smiled mysteriously. Next summer, Link will definitely be widely discussed again.
