Link was naturally very excited after learning that he was about to get a sneaker contract worth nearly $300 million this summer.

Now there are only three people in the league's sneaker contract, namely James, Durant and Kobe. Even Derek Ross, the contract amount is only close to 200 million.

But even though there is a difference of 1 between 2 and 3, if the unit behind these numbers is 100 million, the gap is not a small part.

It can be seen that Nike is really interested in Link's potential now, and they hope to keep this quasi-superstar in their lineup in advance.

The huge sales of Link's special edition sneakers undoubtedly allowed Nike to see his infinite commercial value. The amount of this contract also stated that Link will become one of Nike's main spokespersons in the future.

In just half a season, Link nearly doubled his value, which was indeed something Link didn't expect at the beginning.

But while being excited, Link was not proud. The renewal of his sneaker contract was in June, and before June, he still had a lot of things to complete.

April 17, 2013, the last game day of the regular season of the 12-13 season.

Today, the league has arranged 15 games, which means that 30 teams in the league will participate.

However, for most teams, today's game is irrelevant at all. After all, everyone's rankings have been confirmed. Especially the playoffs quotas have been confirmed a few days ago.

Even if the rankings of this game change today, it will only cause changes in the playoffs. Teams participating in the playoffs will not change.

Therefore, today's final battle is actually not very attractive to fans. Now, everyone is focusing on the playoffs. A irrelevant regular season game? Not many people care anymore.

But the Memphis Grizzlies' match against the Utah Jazz was an accident.

Although the Jazz have confirmed their ninth position in the West, and have won the "Lotto Championship" and have missed the playoffs. No matter who loses or wins in this game, it will not have any impact on the rankings.

However, the Grizzlies had 69 wins at this time. After winning the Clippers, the Grizzlies did not stop. The day before yesterday, they defeated the 11-year champion Mavericks. In other words, if the Grizzlies can beat the Jazz again today, they will become the second team in NBA history to win 70 wins in a single season!

The Grizzlies' 70-win battle made this ordinary regular season look very eye-catching.

Tickets for this game were sold three times the price of ordinary games, but it was still hard to get a ticket. espn urgently changed the game to a national live broadcast, and the other 14 games seemed to have become "pad games".

Fans are so looking forward to it, and the Grizzlies players have been looking forward to this game for a long time.

"Link, are you nervous?" Before the game started, Randolph looked at Link in the locker room, and the fat man's legs were shaking slightly.

"You can tell that you are not nervous at all anyway." Link complained. Randolph was still old and would still tremble before playing the game.

"Damn it, this is 70 wins, Link! 70 wins! NBA has so many years of history and so many familiar stars, but only Michael Jordan and his Bulls can win 70 wins in a single season! If we do it, we will create history!"

Randolph was very excited. After all, he has never been a superstar and has nothing to do with those league records. Randolph came to Memphis and just wanted to play well. But he never thought that he would make history in Memphis.

As a cancer that everyone once called for, Randolph found himself standing with such a great record, and he was a little unbelievable.

"We made history when we won 68 and 69 wins, Zach. Today, it's just a try again." Link patted Randolph's shoulder calmly. Link had been mentally prepared for today.

After defeating the Clippers, Link knew that the Grizzlies' record this season would not be as simple as 68 wins. Since then, he has been planning for 70 wins.

So when the 70 wins really came, Link was not surprised.

"Do you think the Jazz will fight back? Although they missed the playoffs, they might want to stop us from making history." Randolph also tried to restore his calm and stood up.

"Stop?" Link waved his hand, "Can they stop it?"

Hubby Brown came to the Federal Express Stadium early today. He put a brooch in his suit, and the shape of the brooch was a golden number "70".

The old man couldn't believe that one day he would still see the second team that could win 70 wins in a single season. He didn't expect that this team was actually the Memphis Grizzlies.

From becoming the head coach of the NBA team in 1976 to now, Hubby Brown can be said to have witnessed the development of the entire NBA. Therefore, he knows very well how incredible it is for a team to win 70 wins.

Not to mention 70 wins, there are only a handful of teams that have won more than 65 wins in NBA history. This is why, people say that the Bulls' 72 wins are the most difficult record for the NBA to break.

Although the Grizzlies did not break the Bulls' record today, they are also setting another great record. It is also very difficult for other teams to win 70 wins like them.

The old man was a little dazed. When did the Memphis Grizzlies actually have something to do with 70 wins? Well, since the arrival of that No. 0...

Just as Huby Brown was thinking, the players on both sides appeared.

The stands at the Federal Express Arena suddenly "vacancies erupted". Fans waved the Grizzlies' flag, and they had never been so proud.

Hubby Brown approached the microphone and witnessed history with the fans!

On the court, Link was warming up seriously. The Jazz could see that he was a little lazy.

Link thought that the Jazz was also tragic enough. In the future, Kobe's retirement battle, he would serve as a background board. Today, he would serve as a background board in the Grizzlies' 70-win battle...

If the historical events of the NBA are mentioned in the future, the Jazz after 2010 will definitely be mentioned frequently. However, these historical events have nothing to do with the Jazz.

Amid the shouts of fans, players from both sides stepped into the stadium.

The atmosphere on the scene was very lively, as if the fans were not watching the game, but came directly to celebrate the Grizzlies' 70 wins. The game seemed to be just a performance of celebrating 70 wins.

The Jazz and the Grizzlies are not mortal enemies, so it is unlikely that the Jazz will deliberately block the Grizzlies from breaking records. Moreover, the Jazz players who have missed the playoffs now only want to have a holiday and are not interested in fighting.

So, it’s understandable that fans think so.

Before the game started, the Jazz players shook hands with the Grizzlies players very friendly and hugged them, and only said to the Grizzlies players directly, "Congratulations on winning 70 wins."

Jazz players respect the Grizzlies so much that Link chose to respect the other party.

And the way he respects the other party is to never let go!

After the game started, Link received a breakthrough pass from Conley and made a decisive jump shot from outside the three-point line, making a good start for the Grizzlies.

The Jazz did not completely resist, although today's game was not very meaningful to the Jazz, and they won or won. However, in the live matches across the United States, no one wanted to make a fool of themselves. Therefore, the Jazz players still played very seriously.

Al Jefferson succeeded in eating Gasol alone in the inside, which undoubtedly allowed people to see his strong low-post attack power. For Jefferson, it would be great if he could attract some fans in this game.

The Grizzlies controlled the rhythm all the way, but the Jazz did not give up on resistance. Such a game also made the fans very satisfied.

In the second half, the Grizzlies, who were playing steadily, began to exert force. Link and Randolph, two internal and external forwards, shot left and right, leading the Grizzlies to a 12-0 offensive climax.

This wave of offensive climax laid the victory for the Grizzlies.

"Look, this game is not difficult, right?" When Randolph scored the 12th point in the offensive climax with a mid-range shot, Link slapped the Big Black Bear's butt.

The Grizzlies are infinitely close to making history.

While fans in the Federal Express Arena cheered, Miami, far away on the East Coast, the Heat were also playing their 82nd game of the season, against the Orlando Magic.

When the game reached the last two minutes of the fourth quarter, the Magic called a timeout. James stood up and slapped his teammates to the end. In order to save physical fitness for the playoffs, James did not take a break today.

When James sat back on the bench, he couldn't help but take out his phone. As soon as the screen was lit, he received a news push.

"The Memphis Grizzlies beat the Jazz 101-87 at home, winning their 70th season! Becoming the second team in the league to win 70 wins in a single season!"

James curled his lips, and the Grizzlies did it after all. Sure enough, the Utah Jazz had no power to fight back. Now, the Memphis Grizzlies have become the biggest protagonist before the playoffs.

The Grizzlies' strength this season cannot be underestimated, and James has even listed the Grizzlies as the number one imaginary enemy.

The Heat No. 6 knows that Link's ambition is not just 70 wins.

Just then, deafening cheers rang out in the American Airlines Center. James looked up and found Wade on the scene smiling at him.

The Heat's regular season journey has finally ended, and people have focused their attention on the Grizzlies and their 70 wins. But many people have ignored it. The Heat's record this season is also quite impressive!

With 66 wins and 16 losses, the Heat became the 14th team in the history of the league to win 66, and the 15th team in history with a regular season winning rate of more than 80%.

Putting aside the Grizzlies, since the NBA entered the 21st century, only three teams have been able to win more than 66 games. Moreover, among these three teams, one of them is the Cavaliers led by James himself.

Amid the cheers of fans, James turned off his phone screen and celebrated his victory with his teammates.

There is nothing great about winning 70, and it only won 4 more games than the Heat.

In an interview after the game, James expressed his determination when facing the camera, "I know the Grizzlies have achieved great success this season, but we are not afraid of any opponent's challenges. I believe we are the strongest."
