077: Choose one out of three

17 points, 10 assists, 6 rebounds and 2 steals. In the newspaper the next day, Link's data was written out in a large number of them.

His outstanding performance naturally received praise from many media. Although Link's data is not as amazing as those superstars who fly and escape, he is outstanding enough for each of them to lose the draft.

Didn't Tanhua Show Harden, who faced him, only scored 8 points?

Link doesn't know yet that far away in China, many media have put his news on the front page. Although Link is not a Chinese national, since Yao Ming retired from injury, Chinese fans have not seen a yellow-skinned player performing convincing enough results in the NBA arena for a long time.

At this time, Yi Jianlian was depressed in Washington, and averaged only 5 points per game. Now a yellow skin that could score 17+10 suddenly appeared, and Chinese fans were naturally very excited.

In short, after the game with the Thunder, no media will talk about Link's $2 million contract. He has proved with practical actions that he is worth the price. Even more than this value.

Of course, in the opinion of Link's manager Jeff Austin, Link's value is much more than 2 million yuan. This summer, the price of Link's new contract will not be discussed for the time being. Now, many large amounts of commercial contracts have come to you.

Among them, naturally, there are invitations from Nike, Adidas and Jordan.

Since Link signed a formal contract with the Grizzlies, all three major sneaker manufacturers have contacted Jeff Austin. Before, although Link was a little famous, he was still a "temporary worker". The three major shoe factories cannot guarantee that Link will stay.

If they end up signing a Development League player, they will lose a lot.

But now that Link has signed a guaranteed contract, they no longer have to worry about this issue. Coupled with his performance of defeating Harden and scoring 17+10 yesterday, this has made his net worth soar.

Now, everyone believes in the potential of this yellow-skinned player. Investing in him is equivalent to investing in the future.

Jeff Austin wanted to tell Link about signing the sneaker contract immediately, but no one answered Link's phone call.

Needless to ask, that guy must be training hard.

"No. 3, No. 3!" In the empty basketball arena, Lionel Hollins shouted on the sidelines, and the entire court was filled with his echoes.

After hearing the command, Link immediately cut into the basket. But just as he was about to enter the penalty area, Link suddenly retreated to the outside line and ran decisively!

At the same time, Zach Randolph arrived and made an unball cover for Link who was running back. After a pause, Link was able to get a mobile phone out of the three-point line.

He did not hesitate and used his soft touch to hit the ball steadily. After the ball entered, Hollins off the field clapped excitedly. Link completed his No. 3 tactics to the fullest, and no coach would despise a player with super tactical execution ability.

"Beautiful shot, Link, this should be the case during the game." After the ball entered, not only Hollins was happy off the court, but Randolph also slapped Link with them.

This happy scene has become the norm for the Grizzlies' daily training.

Since joining the Grizzlies, he has almost never been in poor condition during training. After all, he has become accustomed to playing in the Development League. Every training game is played in actual combat, so he performed very well.

Hollins and Randolph like this kind of player who work hard in training, but for Guy, Sam Young, Mayo and others, Link's seriousness seems a bit "pretending" to them.

But overall, Link is doing well with the Grizzlies. He didn't get away because he scored a double-double yesterday. As a time traveler, Link knew very well that the NBA was a world where the strong prey on the weak. Excellent performance in one or two games does not guarantee that you will be smooth throughout your career.

Back then, "Jet Kings" Brandon Jennings, who scored 55 points in a single game, was considered a super rookie. But later, he could only rely on the veteran's basic salary or even a short contract of 10 days. When he was at the worst, Jennings also played with the CBA in the Development League.

After all, not everyone is as lucky as the "tall, rich and handsome" Chandler Parsons, who can get a big contract while sitting or not playing. Before Link came, Parsons signed a four-year contract worth $94 million with the Grizzlies in 2016 without being able to play well.

Before traveling through, Parsons had played for three seasons with the Grizzlies, with a total of 95 appearances and a total of 1,862 minutes, but received a salary of $69.34 million. That is to say, Parsons can get $37,200 per minute of every game.

If Link is still in the Grizzlies then, he will definitely remind the management to think twice.

However, Parsons' case is just an accident. Most players need to work hard day after day if they want to survive in the NBA. Otherwise, they will become like Jennings, opening high and closing low. Not everyone has Parsons' life.

Therefore, Link was not proud after scoring a double-double. On the contrary, after people had higher expectations of him, the better he needed to perform.

Five minutes later, the confrontational training ended. The Grizzlies had no games tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. It will not be until January 7 that the Grizzlies will play again with the Utah Jazz at home.

So after the training, Randolph and Tony Allen found Link. The three of them planned to have dinner together in the evening and have some fun. The players could have a little easier time without a game for two days.

"Link, where are you going tonight?" Randolph and Tony Allen walked towards Link who was sitting on the sidelines to rest. "Or what, let's make up for the regrets that night before? Let's tell you, as long as you stand in the nightclub, there will be many girls coming over!"

The Landolf laughed, thinking Link was still thinking about the blonde beauty.

"Today? I don't go anywhere today, Zach. Speaking of which, I can't stand going to nightclubs every day. After I got home that day, I felt like my ears were deaf." Link waved his hand. He had planned to stay and practice more today. The better you play, the more people will be able to study you. So, Link believes that every game he will be more difficult.

However, as a newcomer to the team, Link was not good enough to refuse the big boss' invitation, so he quickly added, "When the salary is paid in the middle of the month, I will invite you to have fun again."

Randolph was a little disappointed, but soon showed a look of relief, "How high do you guys have to do with yourself?"

"ah?"

"It's nothing. So it seems that we are the only ones to have fun today?" Randolph looked at Tony Allen, who nodded with understanding.

They don't want to disturb Link's training.

Tony Allen loves the Grizzlies, and Randolph also loves the Grizzlies. They all want the Grizzlies to become stronger, so they want Link to become stronger.

"Come on, I'll find you a top-notch next time." Tony Allen blinked at Link, and then disappeared from the gate of the training hall with Randolph.

Link smiled. When he filled the little white sticks this time, he must vent his anger. But before that, he still has to continue to improve.

In this way, Link practiced with Marcus Will for two hours in the training hall. After Link's training vest was soaked, Will also called for a stop to train.

"Enough, you have practiced enough today. Although there were no competitions in the next two days, you have to ensure your physical safety."

Link nodded, and he found that Hollingspiwell not only helped him train, but also played a role in supervising himself.

Health is the biggest prerequisite for excellent performance.

After a day of training, Link looked at the little white bars and did not even have one-third filled. This time, the filling progress of the little white bars was very slow. It seemed that the more times the upgrade, the slower the upgrade speed.

If you want to grow into the peak Hill, it seems that you cannot achieve it quickly.

After returning to the locker room, Link took a shower and took out his cell phone from the locker. So the Chinese striker discovered more than 20 missed calls from Jeff Austin.

"Damn! Why are you so anxious??" Link immediately called his manager. He knew very well that Austin would not call him so many times unless there was an urgent matter.

The phone was connected just now, and it seemed that Jeff Austin was always by the phone.

"Boy, you finally called. The team training was over two hours ago. Why did you answer the phone now?" As soon as the phone was answered, Jeff Austin began to ask.

"I practiced for two hours, and I just saw my phone, hehe. What's wrong? What's the matter?" Link scratched his head embarrassedly. It seemed that he had to put his phone on the side of the court next time he practiced.

"What's the matter? You have a good mentality, and your tone is so calm. You won't talk nonsense to you, Nike, Adidas and Jordan, you can choose one."

"Ah!?" Link swallowed. He could probably understand what Austin meant, but his mind was blank. Choose one? Choose one as the spokesperson!?
