In fact, Link didn't want to steal the name of "Lin Crazy". After all, he and Jeremy Lin have no grudges. He just felt that he happened to be trapped in it, which would definitely be very interesting. When talking about Lin Crazy Lin, people would not think of Jeremy Lin alone, but two!

Therefore, he is also very excited about the No. 12 game. Not only Link, but most fans, commentators and even players expressed their expectations for this game.

"NBA has never had such a showdown. Two Chinese people meet each other. This is likely to be an unprecedented encounter or a future."

"It's hard to imagine that one day, a yellow-skinned player will dominate the league. I'm looking forward to this game, which makes me feel very different."

"Lin vs Lin, the unsuccessful draft vs. the unsuccessful draft, the stories of both of them are too legendary. If the legend meets the legend, it must be very exciting."

On the Internet, the Knicks and the Grizzlies' match has attracted widespread attention.t.nt also said that their strongest "Cute Three-Man Team" will be sent to the scene to explain the competition.

Kobe also said that he would go home that day and watch the showdown carefully. Because he believed that Link and Jeremy Lin were both excellent players. The game between excellent players is worth watching.

In short, the entire league is like a holiday, and for everyone, the 12th seems to have a super party.

But there are also some unfriendly voices.

"Watching two Chinese people playing basketball, won't they fall asleep?"

"No one wants to watch this game, I can't even tell who they are."

“Is there no more exciting game to watch on the 12th?”

Although the remarks of these fans were unfriendly, they had not attracted much attention. After all, none of them were concerned about what they said.

But what Link never expected was that even some formal media staff made some low-level mistakes.

One hour before the game started on the 12th, a Twitter became popular on the Internet.

This tweet came from Fox Sports reporter Jason Whitelock, who thought he was humorous, but Link was very angry.

"No matter which Lin wins tonight, there is a woman in Memphis who has to accept the pain of being a few centimeters short."

"Is this guy sick?" Link looked at this popular tweet. He really felt that some sports reporters in the United States were really anti-intellectual.

He was still complacent when he made such low-level remarks?

"Fox's Whitelock? I know that guy is just a fool and often sends some sensational messages. Last year, he also said that I needed to apply for a larger jersey from the league because I was too fat." Randolph said and shook his head. Some journalists attracted attention by relying on various mentally retarded remarks.

After hearing Randolph's words, Link sent a text message to Jeff Austin and asked him to deal with this boring guy. Then, Link put his phone into the locker and officially started preparing for the game, focusing on the game itself!

Putting aside the topic of "Lin Crazy", the Grizzlies should be more careful when facing the Knicks who just won five consecutive victories. This game is not only an important game for Link, but for everyone in the Grizzlies.

Facing an opponent who has just won five consecutive victories, who can take it lightly?

"I hope you don't get influenced by the outside world. This is an ordinary regular season game. However, our opponents just won five consecutive victories. So, what we have to do is stay focused. The Knicks lack Anthony, but their offense is smoother. We have to play the best defensive state at home, otherwise D'Anthony's system will quickly pull the score away!"

Before the game began, Hollins emphasized the players' general ideas for dealing with the Knicks.

Indeed, the tactics D'Antoni used on the Knicks now are a bit like the Suns back then.

Relying on Jeremy Lin's continuous ball breaking through, the Knicks found a scoring opportunity by himself, creating a teammate's cut-off tactic to take advantage of the gap, and scored points through constant changes, misalignment and running.

When such tactics are matched with pitchers such as Novak, Bill Walker and Shampoo, it is powerful. When Jeremy Lin wins the Jazz for the first time, most people only remember the magical Chinese 28 points and 8 assists, but few people remember the 8 three-pointers that Novak and Bill Walker jointly contributed!

The Knicks are a team that focuses on offense, supplemented by the defense of "boxing champion" Tyson Chandler.

So as long as you can curb the Knicks on the offensive end, the Grizzlies will basically win half of the game.

Because as we all know, Mike D'Antoni is not a coach who is good at coaching defense. Apart from Chandler, the guys in the Knicks are not players who are good at defense.

Hard defense is what the Grizzlies need to stick to. As for the Grizzlies' offense? Hollins believes that the players can handle it themselves.

One hour later, Link stood in the designated position as a player. Looking at the stands sitting in an unacceptable position, looking at reporters from various countries on the sidelines, and looking at the t.nt funny group on the commentary stage, Link was a little proud.

He and Jeremy Lin, as Asian players, made a game so highly-watched, which has to be said to be a kind of honor.

You should know that the so-called "China derby" that was hyped by Chinese media back then was basically self-interested. People from other places didn't think that Yao Ming would be able to meet other Chinese players at all.

And today's event, even if you put aside the Asian identity, it is indeed a strong dialogue.

Thinking of this, Link looked at the No. 17 standing behind the Knicks. How crazy is Lin Crazy is, Link can't wait to understand.

"The Knicks still have some changes. Chandler returns to play in the No. 5 position, Amare Stedemier also returns to the team to continue to move in the No. 4 position. Fields is the third position, and Bill Walker is the shooting guard. Jeremy Lin is still the one position. The biggest feature of this lineup is Studmier's return. I wonder if his joining will make the Knicks' firepower stronger."

Before the game started, Kenny Smith briefly introduced the Knicks' lineup. The Grizzlies have basically no introduction, they are still the same, and they have basically not changed since the beginning of the season.

The referee whistle sounded, and Mark Gasol, who had just been selected for the All-Star Game, competed for basketball from Chandler. It can be seen that Gasol was also very excited today. After all, he was selected for the All-Star Game, just like Link, and he also encountered some doubts. In the last game, his 12 points and 8 rebounds were not that amazing.

Therefore, Gasol also wanted to prove his abilities today.

All the Knicks players immediately retreated. In fact, the Knicks' defense in these games was not bad. Their defensive attitude that they were willing to bend down was something Anthony did not have when he was there.

But this defense can only be said to be good at most, not excellent.

As soon as he got the first attack, Link took Randolph's cover to break through and killed the penalty area!

Tyson Chandler is on the verge of the match in the Western Conference Finals last season, which made the "boxing champion" know Link's strength well. He is definitely not the kind of small character who can be defeated at will.

Chandler stared at Link, just waiting for Link to jump!

However, Link, who was staring at the basket, suddenly turned his wrist and sent the ball to Mark Gasol. Chandler realized that something was wrong. He was attracted by Link, but he missed his match!

"Damn it!" Chandler immediately blocked it, but Gasol calmly shot it before that.

The basketball flew towards the Nets while rubbing Chandler's fingertips, then fell in hollow, and the Grizzlies scored first!

"With a beautiful assist, Link's thinking is as clear as ever. He is not greedy for me and is not influenced by media hype. Instead, he continues to do things that are beneficial to the team, which is very commendable."

After scoring the goal, Gasol touched Link's head to express his gratitude. Link was speechless, but Gasol also learned this bad habit. If he was touched by the black and white bears, Link was really afraid of baldness.

In the next goal, Jeremy Lin controlled the ball in the Knicks. D'Antoni's system is indeed very suitable for Jeremy Lin. Jeremy Lin only needs to hold the ball to exert his power, but after that, the coaches he met will not let him do this.

To be honest, if D'Antoni hadn't been available, he wouldn't have let Jeremy Lin do this at the beginning. But Jeremy Lin caught up.

Jeremy Lin took advantage of Stedemeer's cover and quickly entered the penalty area. His speed made Link envious.

Although Jeremy Lin is a yellow-skinned player, his acceleration ability is still good. It is said that during physical testing, Jeremy Lin's speed was almost the same as Wall.

Jeremy Lin plunged into the penalty area, and Gasol Jr. immediately came to delay, but could only follow him sideways, and it was obviously very difficult to keep up.

Despite this, Jeremy Lin's speed was still forced to slow down a little, but it was enough to throw away Gasol Jr.

So Jeremy Lin worked hard to prepare for a layup! In the past few games, he had scored a lot of goals with this scoring method.

Gasol jumped up afterwards, but obviously couldn't reach the basketball. He was surpassed too much by Jeremy Lin!

Just when everyone thought Jeremy Lin was going to successfully take out the response ball, Link rushed from the side in time, jumped up, stretched his long arm, and slapped Jeremy Lin's layup back!

"One block! From Link! Hahaha, it's so exciting. I didn't expect the showdown between the two to be staged so early!" O'Neal screamed exaggeratedly. Link's block was really merciless!

"Don't think too simple about Memphis, man." After landing, Link smiled and said the first sentence to Jeremy Lin.

Jeremy Lin smiled and shook his head. He knew that Link had no malice, but was bleeding, and he was still very unwilling to accept it.

At this time, several fans in the stands raised their cards and put their cards together to form a sentence.

“In Memphis, we have a crazier forest.”
