Chapter 74 (1/2)
The Memphis Grizzlies defeated the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers in the back-to-back competition, which undoubtedly became the biggest cold shoulder of the day, none of them.
On January 3, after the game, it became a contest for discussion. Once talking about this game, the game between link and Kobe is undoubtedly a topic that can't be bypassed in any case.
”Tom Lin, link, I can't remember how many times we mentioned him recently. But since he entered the league, his magical aura has never faded. Yesterday's game, link in the face of Kobe's defense is very good. It is because of his excellent performance in the rotation time that the Grizzlies won
”The Los Angeles Lakers paid for their arrogance, and I'm sure you don't know that the Memphis Grizzlies have won five straight games. At present, their record is 17-17, just one step away from eighth place in the West. By the way, it's worth mentioning that link played five games with the Grizzlies, and the Grizzlies just won five games in a row. I think that's enough. ”
”It turned out to be a wrong decision for Houston Rockets to release link. The guy was out of control after scoring 52 points in the Development League. During the Grizzlies, link can get 15.6 points, 6.1 rebounds and 4.2 assists in 5 games, which is undoubtedly a gorgeous data. Not all players on a 10 day contract can do that. Memphis should have offered link a security contract, if nothing unexpected. And link, will become the Grizzlies on the way to the playoffs
The next day at his home in Memphis, link found that news about himself was on every major TV show. I've never paid attention to myself before, but I've never played well before. Even if it was the start-up scored 24 points that link did not attract so much attention.
This shows how amazing the stage in Los Angeles is. No wonder a lot of big stars like Los Angeles. Don't say anything. This is the Internet age. Playing in big cities and playing in small cities has the same attention.
The fact is, the Staples Center is not as popular as Memphis. The victory of the previous four games was not equal to winning the Lakers, which attracted more attention.
What's more, this game link also restricted Kobe, which let his popularity soar.
Link felt very lucky to meet the defending champion Laker when his second 10 day contract expired. This game makes him famous, and naturally it will increase the Grizzlies' favor for themselves.
Sometimes, the performance of a game is enough to determine the fate of a player at the bottom. There are so many opportunities, but there are countless players waiting for it. If you can't grasp it, you will be eliminated.
Link decided to be glad that he had at least grasped the opportunity himself.
Tomorrow, the Grizzlies will play Oklahoma thunder at home. After tomorrow, link's second 10 day contract with Grizzlies will officially expire. He can't wait to sign with the Grizzlies. Link was thrilled to think that he could win a million dollar contract right away.
Nonsense, whether before or after crossing, the number of ”million” is out of reach for link.
If he signed a formal contract, link's life would be totally different. Although not a lifetime of wealth, but at least he does not have to live so hard.
Turning off the TV, link looks out of the window and smiles, ready to go out for training. Although only played a back-to-back game yesterday, linkton felt full of strength at the thought that he would sign soon.
As soon as he left the house, link received a call from Jeff Austin. Link is not surprised by this, after all, his 10 day contract will expire after tomorrow, Austin must come to Memphis to talk about signing with the team.
Austin undoubtedly did much better than Carl Jones. Link remembers that when his contract with the Rockets expired a while ago, Carl Jones didn't even fight for it.
”I'll be in Memphis this afternoon. You did a great job yesterday, and that will be my bargaining capital.” On the phone, Jeff Austen's voice sounded cheerful. After all, he successfully put a potential drop draft into the NBA.
”Thank you, Mr. Jeff Austin. What time will you arrive this afternoon? I'll pick you up after training? ”
”No, by the end of your training, I should have been waiting for you in the Grizzlies' general manager's office.”
”General manager's office?” Link's face muddled, ”is it difficult to conclude the contract negotiations from today?”
”Yes, the Grizzlies decided to renew their contract with you in advance. In this way, you will automatically become a member of the Grizzlies when your 10 day short contract ends. So, after the training, you should come to the general manager's office. If you sign it, your career is officially on the way. ”
Austin likes to leave the surprise to the end.
