: Seventy-one: Nightclub Coffee VS Nightclub Coffee

　　 "hiss..."
　　 Link slowly opened his eyes, feeling his head a little heavy and his mouth extremely dry.
　　 He stood up and first checked the time on the phone. It was only half past seven, which was not too late. After that, Link got up and took a glass of water and took a sip of water, which made his mind a little clearer.
　　 After signing the contract yesterday, as promised, Randolph took Link, together with Tony Allen and Xiao Kangli, went to a nightclub to party for a while to celebrate Link.
　　 Although Link refused at the beginning, when he entered the nightclub, he was inspired by the atmosphere, and Link couldn't help shouting in his heart, "It's so fragrant!"
　　 But because I knew there was a game today, no one had a drink yesterday. They used fruit juice instead of alcohol throughout the whole process. A group of wealthy NBA players gathered to drink fruit juice in a place full of commotion hormones. This scene is indeed strange.
　　 Even so, Link and his party are still enthusiastically sought after.
　　 Before leaving, there were two blondes wearing sexual gans pestering Link all the way. As an energetic young man, Link did have some brains under the effect of the lively atmosphere.
　　 But when he thought of the game today, Link calmed down.
　　 Recalling here, Link immediately searched his house from the inside to the outside. After confirming that no woman went home with him, he let out a big breath.
　　 Speaking of which, not everyone is as determined as Link. When he was a fan in the past, Link always felt that the kind of NBA players who dismissed themselves were really stupid. Obviously, he has a great future, but he just gave up on himself.
　　 But after experiencing it yesterday, Link knew how exciting and satisfying feasting and feasting can bring people.
　　 In the nightclub, as NBA stars, they have attracted much attention, and all kinds of men and women come to deal with them. This great satisfaction in vanity is enough to make a group of players who are not firm enough to linger in the club.
　　 Link knew that he couldn't get in, because he was not only carrying his own destiny and dreams. If he were to fall, Upshaw and his parents would definitely be disappointed in him.
　　 It’s okay to relax once in a while, but Link won’t make fun of his future.
　　 But to be honest, the figures of the two blonde girls yesterday were really... quite chic!
　　※※※
　　 As Chris Wallace predicted, Link just signed a guarantee contract with the Grizzlies, and he immediately became the darling of the media the next day.
　　 News of Link's official signing with the Grizzlies appeared endlessly in the newspapers. In Chinese newspapers, this news even occupies an entire page.
　　 Although Link is only a Chinese-American, he is extremely lack of Chinese elements in the NBA. Link, a guy with yellow skin and black hair, who can speak Mandarin, naturally received much publicity from the Chinese media.
　　 In addition, Link is the first draft pick to officially sign with an NBA team this year. This level of identity gives Link more something to discuss.
　　 In short, his commercial value has begun to emerge. The skin color and identity are very special, and the player who can also defend Kobe must have been the protagonist of discussions between the media and fans in recent days.
　　 But, the tree is very popular. After Link signed the guarantee contract with the Grizzlies, many people also questioned this.
"There are many examples of undrafted and NBA teams signing guaranteed contracts, but most of them ended up fascinating. Do the Grizzlies want to rely on a $2 million reinforcement to make the playoffs? The game is too simple."
　　 "Link did show some potential, but his shortcomings are also very obvious. When people start to study him, that's when his magical aura fades."
"2 million a year? With all due respect, the Grizzlies are really stupid. This year, the Grizzlies picked Xavier Henry with the 12th overall pick, and the annual salary is only 2.02 million. In other words, Link is a one Lost in the draft, the salary is similar to the lottery pick. And don’t forget, Link’s salary is only half a season. I don’t know if Chris Wallace shook his hand while writing the check."
　　 Link never expected that in the news about his own complaints, there were even complaints about his high salary. It's only a $2 million contract, but there are still people too high?
　　 But after another thought, this is only 2010, and the new round of labor agreement has not yet been negotiated. In this era, the salary cap is far from exploding like it did before Link crossed over.
　　 In the era before Link crossed over, even Mozgov was able to sign tens of millions of contracts, and players like Ryan Anderson could earn nearly 20 million a year. Ten-million-level contracts were not uncommon in that era, and even billion-yuan contracts were not rare.
　　 So from Link's eyes, it is very rare that he only took 2 million. However, in the eyes of the media now, that is not the case.
　　 Willis Matthews, who also entered the NBA as a failed draft last season, earned only 460,000. A college star like Luke Babbitt, the 16th rookie this year, has a salary of only 1.65 million. Link’s Tony teacher, as a player who has won a championship and can guard against superstars, has an annual salary of only $3 million this year.
　　 From this point of view, it is not surprising that someone complains about their high salary.
　　 There are many critics, and everyone has their own reasons. But among these, the most talked-about complaint comes from Thunder potential star James Harden.
　　 A reporter interviewed Harden yesterday, "Tomorrow's game against the Grizzlies, in the second team, you and Link's sixth man, who do you think will win?"
　　 Facing the camera, the young Harden replied without thinking, "No matter who it is, we can't stop us from moving forward."
　　 Harden did not mention Link in half of his answer, which shows how proud this guy is and how despised Link is.
　　 As a flower show in 2009, James Harden has been an indispensable force for the Thunder this year. With an average of 12.2 points per game, he has begun to show his talent.
　　 This season, he is considered one of the best sixth men in the league. In other words, he can be regarded as the number one person who can be named.
　　 Harden like this is naturally full of confidence before losing the draft.
　　 With Harden's words, the media began to hype wildly, for fear that the two of them did not have any deep hatred. As a result, a duel between the sixth man and the sixth man was fired by the media.
　　 Link is really speechless, and the criticisms about him have not stopped since the beginning. It seems like it is difficult for this group of people to accept that a player with yellow skin and coming up from the bottom can stand in the NBA.
　　 Just like Chris Wallace said, I just signed a $2 million contract and I'm going to be put under a magnifying glass by the reporters.
　　 Link is very thankful that he didn't take the two blonde women home last night, otherwise, God knows whether today's state will be affected.
　　Since you want to study me with a magnifying glass, just come. As long as I do every detail well, you have nothing to say even with a magnifying glass.
　　 During the afternoon running tactics, Hollins discovered that Link was playing very cautiously today. Unless there is an excellent opportunity, it will not be easy to shoot. Hollins hopes that Link can keep this focus on the court. He believes that Link will make the team's 2 million worth of money.
　　 Before the start of the evening game, Link was also sought after by many reporters on the sidelines.
　　 But their questions are similar, it's nothing more than asking what it's like to be a full-time player, and how do you think about James Harden's remarks.
　　 Link answered the reporters perfunctorily. He just wanted to focus on the game for the time being. Although Link is determined to let the media waiting to see his jokes leave empty-handed, the Oklahoma City Thunder is indeed not a good team to deal with.
　　 Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, Jeff Green, Serge Ibaka, plus James Harden, the Thunder’s lineup can be described as luxurious. Their only drawback is that they are too young.
　　 So far this season, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com The Thunder's record of 23 wins and 12 losses is enough to show how strong they are. The Grizzlies rely on the most recent five-game winning streak, only 17 wins and 17 losses.
　　 Want to defeat the Thunder, how easy is it to say?
　　 "Man, today you are in the spotlight." As he warmed up, Zach Randolph leaned close to Link, "It was okay last night?"
　　 "I went home alone yesterday." Link knew what Randolph meant by "playing well", so he hurriedly dismissed it.
　　 "What!? Those two girls yesterday...you went home alone!?"
　　 "Yeah, don't you have to play today." Link gave Randolph a blank look. God knows this guy was in Portland and New York when he was young, and he was home alone for a few nights.
　　 "Well, in fact, as young as you are, it should be fine..."
"Okay, let's not talk about that. How do you feel today? The Thunder came for victory. They are young and vigorous and don't want to give us a chance." Link waved his hand and shifted the topic from last night to the game. .
　　 "Um...I feel great, and that kid Rudy is in great shape today. How about you?"
　　 "I'm fine, I want to fight. By the way, I heard..."
　　 "What did you hear?" Randolph leaned down and put his ear to Link's.
"I heard that James Harden also went to a nightclub party yesterday, and today many media are reporting on this. Do you think he is in a state of recovery that can have us? Or, do you think James. Will Harden go to the club to drink juice?" Link smiled maliciously. For today's sixth man duel, Link may have to take the initiative to meet the super guard in the future.
