Reverse Growth Superstar

When Link entered the court and squatted down to touch the logo in the center of the court.

The whole arena shook like an erupting volcano.

Durant looked at Link, eyes full of envy.

Who doesn't want to be admired? Who doesn't want to create their own legend in a city?

But Durant can never have this kind of treatment, since he decided to transfer from Oklahoma City to the Warriors, this kind of picture has never been related to Durant.

Yes, he won a championship trophy in Oakland. Next in Brooklyn, he and Owen are also likely to achieve greater success.

But no matter how many titles he wins, he can't get the same treatment as Link in a certain arena.

Durant smiled bitterly, even though he and Link were enemies for life. But he must also admit that Link's career is really enviable...

Link stood up again, and the lights on the scene turned on again.

Of course, the game will not stop there. Next, the Federal Express Arena will also hold the award ceremony of the championship ring.

Both Randolph and Tony Allen, who had retired, came to the scene to receive the last honors of their careers.

Dinwiddie also temporarily returned to the Grizzlies and accepted the championship ring with Link.

After the presentation ceremony, Dinwiddie and Link embraced affectionately.

Dinwiddie regretted that in the last year of Link's career, he could not continue to fight with Link.

But as an opponent, he will let Link enjoy the opener of his retirement year!

"Don't blame me for not winning the championship in the last year, Link." After the hug, Dingwiddie became serious. He knows that he is now a player on the Nets.

"Smelly boy, I think you are a bit fluttering. Fighting for the championship with me? How much did you drink last night?" Link did not show mercy, and immediately spewed trash at his former little brother.

The two looked at each other and smiled, but their eyes were full of fire.

As opponents, they started to feel inside.

The glorious championship ring award ceremony ended, and Link became the player with the largest number of rings worn by the active players.

He is the undoubted "Lord of the Rings" among active players.

In the history of the NBA, Link is also tied for fifth place in the championship ring list alongside legendary stars such as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Jordan and Pippen.

There is no need to argue about Link's historical status.

Of course, today's highlight is still the game itself.

After all this is over, the two sides soon began to warm up, and the brand new Grizzlies will stand in front of everyone for the first time.

After the warm-up, Link also deliberately walked to the commentary stage and shook hands with the 86-year-old Hubby Brown.

The old man wanted to retire this year, after all, he is almost 90 years old.

Even serving as an interpreter is not an easy task for an old man who is almost 90 years old.

Brown's commentary career has spanned more than 50 years, dating back to the 1970s, and he is almost a living fossil in the NBA.

When Link and Hubie Brown shook hands, Old Hubie had a little trouble even standing up.

He did reach the age to retire, but after hearing that this was Link’s last season, Hubie Brown changed his mind and signed another one-year contract with ESPN, delaying his retirement plan.

He wanted to witness Link's last year with his own eyes, and then leave this arena with Link.

In Link's ten years, Hubie Brown saw the end from the beginning.

He didn't want to miss the end of this brilliant career.

From NBA earnings to the career of a commentator on the sidelines... Link's influence is everywhere.

After the warm handshake, Link looked at his opponent today for the first time.

The Brooklyn Nets, in Chinese, they are simply "exploiting wealth." Overnight, the Nets turned into big money.

The Nets, wearing a black jersey, started the five tigers and moved closer to the center circle, and their lineup was indeed glamorous.

Kelly Irving, one of the league's best attacking position.

Last season, the potential defender Caris LeVille averaged 13.7 points per game.

Marksman Joe Harris, who shot 47.1% from three-pointers last season.

Link's rival Kevin Durant, and top blue-collar DeAndre Jordan.

Although this lineup is not as exaggerated as the Warriors of the year, it is very reasonable and extremely powerful.

On the Grizzlies side, Conley and Gasol are no longer the All-Stars who were enough to be alone.

Dillon Brooks, the starting number two, is even more of an unknown person in the eyes of everyone.

From the paper lineup, the Grizzlies do not have the advantage.

Both teams are dissatisfied with their rankings on the strength rankings. Today, they will take the first step to the top.

And, it must be incompatible with each other!

Link stood near the center line and pressed his leg.

At the same time, Kevin Harlan next to Hubie Brown began to conjure up the topic: "This year, people have a lot of questions about Link's state. After all, he is no longer that 20-something guy. Even Jordan, Kobe, and James have changed their styles of play at Link’s age to continue to maintain their dominance. Moreover, it must be admitted that most stars may have won championships at this age, but they all have won championships at this age. Not in his personal peak period. For example, Garnett, he in the Celtic period cannot be compared with him in the Timberwolves period. Kobe's second consecutive championship period is far less than his own dominance when he scored 81 points. Li. I don’t know what Link did prepare for his 30-year-old."

"Link hasn't seen a significant decline in state in the past two years, so I think Link can still cross the alliance even if nothing changes." Hubby Brown gave his own opinion, which he has never seen before. A player like Link who has no trace of time left on him.

Other players, after the age of 30, will give people a feeling of "he is really old".

But in Link, this feeling has never appeared.

He is still running around the field like a young man, completing aerial work like a spring man.

Even if it's just a little bit of a decline, you can't find it at all. The vitality of the young man seemed to be agitated in Link's body all the time.

The game officially began, and Jordan won the first strike for the Grizzlies.

Kelly Irving is in control of the overall situation, while Durant is in line with Link.

In this way, Joe Harris got a chance to play Gasol in a dislocation.

Harris struggled to run, but Gasol couldn't catch up.

After Harris ran away from the right three-point line, Irving's pass was delivered as soon as possible.

Harris secretly rejoiced in his heart and cast it when he pulled it up!

He created the first goal of the Nets in the new season.

But Harris just raised the basketball to make a shot, only to find that he was suddenly covered by a shadow.

Looking up, it's Link!

Joe Harris was a little surprised. He didn't think Link could rush over to complete the defense in such a short time.

But at this time, he has no choice. His shooting is taking shape and it is too late to change his shot into a pass. Even if you force a pass, there is a high chance of making a mistake. Instead of this, it is better to vote directly.

As a result, Joe Harris could only force his shot against Link's defense!

The results can be known, the shooter who hit 47.1% from three-pointers last season, hit the iron on his first shot in the new season!

"Link's defense is still so perfect, his defense is as perfect as his offense! You see, the skill of most defensive players will decline significantly after the age of 30. Because their lateral speed and reaction speed are both Slow. But Link, he is still able to complete such a fast replenishment."

As soon as Hubby Brown's voice fell, Jokic scored a rebound.

Although Jokic has gained a lot more weight than during the finals last season and his body has not fully recovered, this does not affect his talents.

Jokic made a long pass directly from the backcourt, and found Link tacitly and accurately.

Link ran hard, and behind him, Durant, who was as big as Link, ran not as fast as before.

The two seem to be five or six years old, but they are the same age.

Link rushed into the penalty area, and as soon as his forefoot stepped into the free throw line, he went straight up!

Afterwards, the fans of the Federal Express Arena witnessed a player who was about to retire and had a half-step ultra-long gliding dunk within the free throw line!

No player who is nearly 32 years old can complete such a dunk.

"Nice dunk, a slam dunk from the free throw line in actual combat! I thought that only young people like Aaron Gordon and Zach LaVine could make such a move. But Link reminded us, The slam dunk contest has only become exciting since his class!"

Hubby Brown raised his arms and cheered, beside him, Kevin Harlan smiled and shook his head.

Link is not like a player who is nearly 32, and Hubby Brown is not like an old man who is nearly 90.

These two guys are really a special pair of golden partners~www.wuxiaspot.com~ After dunking to the ground, Link slammed into the audience after rebounding.

He is still so fast, no different from a few years ago.

Or even jump higher?

Those who are looking forward to the decline of Link's status must be disappointed.

Because they all know that as long as Link can maintain the previous level, the Grizzlies will still have the highest chance of winning the league.

After all, when Link is present, the formula 1>5 is completely reasonable.

Durant picked up the basketball and gritted his teeth.

Link is still the Link, and his opponent has not weakened at all.

But looking at his new teammates, Durant quickly relaxed again.

He believes that the Nets' counterattack will also be quite violent.
