**Vic was able to escape the siege of the reporters after the game, but he could not avoid the question at the press conference anyway.

At the press conference, the old man was unable to lift himself up, and he was overwhelmed by the tormenting problems of the reporters.

If you brag before the game, it is best to be able to fulfill it with practical actions. Otherwise, all you have to wait for you after the game is endless trouble.

**Vic gave everyone too many expectations before the game, and people were waiting to see the Grizzlies lose in a row.

As a result, the Spurs disappointed everyone, and everyone would definitely point the gun at the Spurs.

On the other hand, Whiteside can finally challenge 2k company through the media.

When the reporter asked Whiteside, "Why did you perform so well after returning to the NBA after two years?"

Whiteside was instantly excited, as if he had been waiting for this question for a long time. "I have been working hard during the game because I want to improve my ability value in NBA2k games."

Everyone at the press conference laughed, and they all thought Whiteside was joking.

But only Link knew that this guy was very serious about his paranoid pursuit of his 2k ability value.

In any case, Whiteside did become famous in one battle. He became famous in this history faster than the original history.

In the original history, after Whiteside joined the Heat, he was still in the Development League for more than a month before finally achieving results.

But in the Grizzlies, Whiteside made most people remember themselves in the first game.

After the press conference, Whiteside was surprised to find that NBA2k had @ed himself on official social media.

2k said it will change Whiteside's ability value from 59 to 75. It has to be said that the power of the media is huge.

As soon as they reported what Whiteside said, 2k responded immediately.

"Did you see Link?? They really changed it for me, they really responded to me! Hahaha, I want to go home quickly to update the game! I'm really looking forward to it, I won't be useless in the game now!"

Whiteside danced with excitement, like a child who received a response from Santa Claus on Christmas.

Link shook his head beside him. This guy's psychological maturity is probably not as good as Cousins.

"Congratulations, Hassan. But don't take it lightly. NBA's game is not just one."

"Of course, Link! My goal is not just 75. I hope to be the highest-rated center player in the game!" Whiteside answered seriously. Overall, this guy's motivation to play is still inseparable from the game's ability value...

However, it doesn't matter why Whiteside plays hard. As long as he can perform like this every night, Link believes that the Grizzlies' dominance will not weaken.

Three consecutive championships may really be more than just in dreams.

The day after the game, Whiteside's popularity was second only to Link, who surpassed Kobe's total triple-double in his career.

Although Whiteside's 10 points and 8 rebounds were not amazing, everyone knows that Whiteside did solve the Grizzlies' urgent need.

"The Memphis Grizzlies are really good at rushing gold. After Link, they might find another hidden treasure."

"Have you seen how that kid defends Tim Duncan? I can't believe that he has been wandering outside the NBA for so long."

"Facts have proved that defensive centers still have a market in the NBA. As long as you have the ability, you won't have to worry about not finding a job. I think the Grizzlies may be preparing for another 10-day contract from Whiteside."

Whiteside saw that he was once again the focus of people and was in a good mood.

So the next day after training, Whiteside, who arrived in the locker room, shouted at Link in Chinese, "I am your father!"

Link, who was fixing the bandage on his ankle, ripped it apart, tore the bandage apart, and then looked at Whiteside in a confused look.

Whiteside, who was originally smiling, seemed to have noticed something was wrong. He hung his right hand, which was greeting, in the air, and his smile gradually disappeared, and then scratched his head to relieve the embarrassment.

"Hmm? What did that kid just said to you?" Tony Allen looked like a black question mark face. If Nick Yang was still there, his expression would definitely be more vivid.

"I want to ask, too, what exactly he wants to say." Link turned his head and stared at Whiteside.

Whiteside knew that he had been in trouble, so he simply sat next to Link and muttered in a low voice, "Well, don't the reporters all say you like to speak Chinese?"

"Yes, do you know what you just said means?"

"When I was playing in China, one of my teammates told me that it was what you mean in Chinese. After that, I often greeted my teammates with that sentence. But they... all seemed to be the same as you and didn't like it very much. Am I not pronunciation very standard?"

"Puff." After hearing this, Link almost spurted out an old blood.

Who taught Chinese is too immoral!

"It's okay, Hassan, your pronunciation is very standard, very standard. But that sentence does not mean 'hello', but a swear word."

"What!?" Whiteside's eyes widened, looking disbelief.

After hearing Link say this, Whiteside remembered the scene of saying hello to others in China before... It was terrible!

"Sorry, Link, I... I'm so stupid. I've been cheated for so many years."

"It's okay. If you want to learn Chinese in the future, you can come to me. I will never teach you randomly." Link patted Whiteside on the shoulder. This guy was really as simple as a middle school student.

Before today's training began, Jogel praised Whiteside's performance last night. He decided to start Whiteside's offensive training in advance.

At the beginning, Joggle only hoped that Whiteside would not be beaten when Gasol was resting. But after the last game, his request for Whiteside was definitely different.

If Whiteside can integrate into the offensive end while attacking, it will undoubtedly be a huge benefit for the Grizzlies.

"In the next game, our opponent is the Los Angeles Clippers, which are currently 7-4 losses. They are old opponents, so you are also very familiar with them without me saying. Tomorrow, we first need to limit the connection between Paul and the inside players."

Jogel began to arrange the rough tactics for tomorrow night against the Clippers, but Link found that Whiteside, who had always been stunned, clenched his fists when listening to the tactics today.

During the afternoon's confrontational training, Whiteside also played very fiercely. Although Gasol was his teammate, Whiteside seemed to have beaten the opponent as Jordan Jr.

Link felt strange. He didn't like that guy Jordan, wasn't Gasol? Why did he feel that Xiao Jia's resentment ran to Whiteside?

At night, something even more bizarre happened.

While watching TV at home, Link happened to see an exclusive interview program from ESPN. The interview subject was DeAndrew Jordan, who performed well this season.

After experiencing the previous years of decline, Jordan Jr.'s second round pick in 2008 has averaged 11.5 points, 15.0 rebounds and 2.2 blocks this season.

There is no doubt that in this era when centers are withering, his data is enough to make him the top center in the league.

In addition, with the big market in Los Angeles, Jordan Jr. is becoming more and more famous, so there are more and more exclusive interviews.

In the interview, the host asked Jordan Jr. a question, "Whiteside was very popular recently. People say that he may become the most successful short-term player since Link. You are about to fight. Do you think you can withstand his impact?"

Link thought Jordan Jr. didn't know who Whiteside was at all and would not argue with a short-term worker.

As a result, Jordan Jordan waved his hand disdainfully, "Hasan? Haha, that guy. I'm different from him. He only knows air relay, and I can do a lot of things. To be honest, I don't like being compared with him."

"Oh? Do you know him?"

"Of course, when he came to try out some time ago, I beat him up. As a result, he did not get the contract with the Clippers."

Link suddenly realized that no wonder Whiteside was so angry when he heard about the next game he was going to play the Clippers.

This guy Jordan is really a "popular" player.
