: Seventy Six: Fight for Memphis

　　 Rudy Gay did not waste Link’s wonderful pass. His long-range two-pointer steadily hit. While helping the Grizzlies set the situation, it also allowed Link to get the first double-double record of his career.
　　 A close-up of Link was immediately shown on the big screen, and then his data was typed out at the bottom of the screen. With 17 points, 10 assists, 6 rebounds and 2 steals, Link responded to his 2 million contract with an all-around data.
　　As a forward, it is not easy to assist in double figures. After all, Link is not the master of the Grizzlies, and he doesn't have that much possession. Moreover, while Link sent 10 assists, there were only 2 turnovers. There is no doubt that this kind of efficiency allows his double-double to have a higher gold content.
　　 Besides, Link also scored a lot of rebounds in addition to assists in double figures. In addition, Harden was completely locked on the defensive end today. As the sixth man of the Thunder, James Harden only scored 8 points in the entire game today. And just now, I was so defensive that I didn't even dare to shoot.
　　 It can be seen that Link’s performance today is far more than just slashing a double-double.
After 　　 Gay scored, the cheers in the FedEx Arena ushered in a climax. But the fans are not celebrating the victory, nor are they celebrating Gay’s goal, but fortunate that they can have such an excellent substitute.
"Link's back pass was very decisive. He accurately found Rudy Gay. With 17 points and 10 assists, Link scored a double-double. This is the first double-double of his career, but I believe, This will not be the last time. Before the start of the game, people were questioning whether Link was eligible for an annual salary of $2 million. After all, many first-round rookies were not paid as high as him. But now, there will never be any more. People, question the reasonableness of Link's salary!"
　　 Chris Webber is touted, he really likes watching Link play. As a rookie, he always has a clear mind on the court. Except that his physical fitness is indeed a bit poor, Weber really doesn't know what Link has weaknesses.
　　If Link had a different skin color, maybe he would have been selected in the lottery circle?
　　 After this ball, the Thunder completely gave up resistance. Scott Brooks looked at the stadium in disbelief. He didn't expect the Thunder to overturn in Memphis.
The strength of the Grizzlies is beyond his imagination. The impact of the black and white bears, the bloodthirsty of Rudy Gay, the death coil of Tony Allen, and the omnipotence of the No. 0 rookie all make The Grizzlies have the potential to become a team capable of gaining a foothold in the West.
　　 Brooks has a hunch that a new face may appear in the playoffs this year...
　　 After more than a minute, this fierce game finally ended. 110 to 102, the Grizzlies finally took an 8-point advantage and took the game victory.
　　 Durant and Westbrook each scored 28 points, but to no avail. Because the Thunder didn't score in double figures except for the two of them. Among them, Harden is undoubtedly the most disappointing Thunder player today. Yesterday he vowed to say that no one could stop him and Thunder, but today, he was scratched by the "bear paw".
　　 Hmm... Thinking about it carefully, Harden seems to be right. After all, Grizzlies are not humans.
　　 On the Grizzlies side, they actually scored 110 points, which is unusual. As a defensive team, the Grizzlies averaged less than 100 points per game this season. Today, however, they scored high scores in one fell swoop.
　　 Among them, the 27 points of Rudy Gay and Durant are naturally the top priority. But Link's role is also not light.
　　 His wonderful passes made Randolph the "Big Black Bear" eat cakes, and scored 31 points and 16 rebounds. It was like a super insider.
　　 In addition, Link's 17 points and Gasol's 12 points also helped a lot. Four players scored in double figures in a game. Before Link arrived, the Grizzlies rarely played such a game.
　　The changes that Link has brought to the Grizzlies are obvious. I believe that Grizzlies general manager Chris Wallace has now added Link to the summer renewal list.
　　 After the game, Link was surrounded by reporters before he could celebrate the victory with his teammates. Randolph, who scored 31 points and 16 rebounds, and Guy, who scored 27 points, are naturally the two most dazzling stars of the Grizzlies, but Link, who won a double-double for the first time just after signing a formal contract, is also attracting attention. .
　　 "Link, you performed very well today. Before the game, many people questioned the price of your contract. Are these voices that motivate you to perform well in the game?"
　　 A T.NT female reporter smiled and put the microphone to Link's mouth. She also happened to be blonde, which reminded Link of the two blonde girls last night.
　　 Judging from today’s results, it was worth to endure it yesterday.
"I don't care about those voices at all. What motivates me to play double-doubles is the desire to win, the trust of my teammates and coaches, and the belief that Zike Upshaw brought me. As for what the media say, I never Concerned." Link answered in an indisputable tone. This can be regarded as Link's first counterattack against the media.
　　The media are usually attacking Link. This time, Link finally has the capital to respond.
　　 The media said that Link could not survive in the NBA, so he signed a guarantee contract. The media said Link’s contract was at a premium, and he got a double-double. Now Link wants to see what they have to say.
"The next question is, after this game, the Grizzlies have defeated the Lakers and the Thunder, two Western powers. Moreover, you have achieved the longest six consecutive victories in the season, and the record has become 18 wins and 17 losses. Since you joined the Grizzlies, the Grizzlies have not yet tasted defeat. Do you think you can maintain this state?"
　　 The reporter’s second question ~EbookFREE.me~ undoubtedly surprised the fans again. Yes, many people have forgotten that the Grizzlies’ six-game winning streak began on the day when Link signed with the Grizzlies on a 10-day short contract.
　　 "I am very happy that we are on the right track. There is no doubt that our goal this year is the playoffs. We will not stop until we reach our goal."
　　 Link smiled, then ended the interview. Before entering the player tunnel, Link looked around for a while, but did not find James Harden.
　　 At this time, no one cares where Harden goes. After all, only winners are eligible for attention and praise.
　　 Presumably Harden must be very depressed today. If I knew it, he stopped going to the nightclub yesterday.
　　 The second-year Tanhua was overwhelmed by the first-year undrafted pick, which is probably depressing that guy for a while. Of course, after this game, Harden has also become the highest rookie Link has beaten. His speed on the road of counterattack has been getting faster and faster.
　　 After the interview, he returned to the locker room. As soon as Link entered the door, suddenly a bunch of colored ribbons were sprayed out.
　　 "Congratulations on the official signing!" Then, the teammates shouted.
　　 Link looked around and realized that this was a surprise for his teammates. Although not all of them were sincerely wishing themselves, but they had this heart, Link was already very moved.
　　 At that moment, he felt like he really became a member of the Memphis Grizzlies. Thinking of his experience in Houston again, Link's eyes were slightly flushed.
　　 He can now guess why Zach Randolph, who was so bad that he couldn't be anymore, would be willing to play for the Grizzlies submissively.
　　 Because at this moment, he also feels the same-he wants to fight hard for Memphis.
