Reverse Growth Superstar

When Rachel arrived in the Bay Area, it was getting late.

She was very anxious, just like an office worker who was late for work.

It is true that Rachel will be late, and the regular press conference is about to begin, but she has not yet arrived at the Oracle Arena, home of the Warriors.

The late plane made her very anxious.

However, the reason why Rachel is so anxious is not just because she can't keep up with the press conference.

Sitting in a taxi, the car radio is broadcasting the NBA consultation these days.

The news that Link was fined $5,000 by the league for wearing a black mask has been discussed hotly in the past two days.

"Link expressed his willingness to respect the rules of the league, but at the same time he believed that the rules were unreasonable. He just likes to wear a black mask. Is that getting in the way?"

"Hahahaha, this reply is indeed in line with Link’s character. You know, Link has never been a good gentleman. The Alliance should not try to control him. I even suspect that Link will directly give the Alliance $50,000, and then tell Mr. President, I Wear ten more games!"

"Hahahahaha."

On the radio, the hosts chatted very happily. Although Link violated the rules of the alliance this time, he was unanimously agreed.

After all, the black mask is really handsome. Do you have to turn yourself into an owl-shaped mask like Kirilenko did?

Besides, the black mask does not affect others. The most, the most, is to make Link's opponent feel oppressed.

After the last game, Dudley commented on Link’s black mask, “I don’t even dare to look at him, for fear that he will suddenly come out with some high-tech thing to stun me. Seriously, then. The mask is a bit scary, it looks like a super villain."

However, even if Link this guy doesn't wear a mask, he will feel full of oppression.

The league's punishment of Link is unreasonable. Overnight, the picture of Link wearing a black mask became popular throughout the United States. In the latest NBA2K14 game, some players even made a special face patch for the black mask Link, and the number of downloads remained high!

It is estimated that the Alliance did not expect that the black mask that Link temporarily wore would become so popular.

"Hey, the Grizzlies and Link have been in great shape these days. They have already started with 11 consecutive victories, and as long as they win one more game, they will be able to tie the opening record of 12 consecutive victories set by the 96-97 Bulls. I guess the Warriors are overwhelmed this time. Ah. Miss, do you watch basketball?"

The taxi driver listened to the radio and began to complain. There is no doubt that he is a Warriors fan. The Warriors' opponent in the next game is the Memphis Grizzlies, which is why Rachel is now in the Bay Area.

Her task this time is to report the entire game. Then collect some materials and use them in the next program. This game is a bit special, as the taxi driver said, if the Grizzlies win, they will achieve a 12-game winning streak start.

This record will directly affect the bull of the Biao Dynasty.

"Of course I watch basketball. I'm here for basketball." Rachel's tone was still anxious, wishing to fly to the media reception room of Oracle Arena in an instant.

"Wait, I recognize you! You are Rachel DeMita!? God, I didn't even notice you just now! I like watching the new show hosted by you and Grant Hill very much, and my daughter admires it very much. You. Because your appearance in the show is too professional, you know, it's not like the female hosts in other basketball shows. You can see that you really understand basketball. Miss, please sign me. My daughter must be very happy to see it. I can pick you up for free, please!"

Rachel was a little flattered, she didn't expect that she has become so famous now?

"Of course you can, where did you sign it?" Rachel's mood improved a bit and she has fans.

But this short-lived joy still cannot conceal Rachel's inner anxiety.

What happened to that **** Link?

※※※

Prior to this, the Grizzlies had played a game with the Warriors. Only last time, the game was played on the home court of the Grizzlies. And this time, the game will start at Oracle Arena.

The Warriors this season is no longer a weak team, and the record is 8 wins and 3 losses so far.

But Link is very clear that the current Warriors are not good enough to challenge the Grizzlies. The real rise of this team will have to wait until next season. And I don’t know whether the changed history will also change the outcome of the Warriors.

The current Warriors are at best a playoff-level team in the Western Conference, and they are still a little worse than competing against championship-level teams.

Therefore, the Grizzlies players are very relaxed in training. 12-game winning streak opening record? Everyone didn't take it to heart. After all, the 02-03 season, the Dallas Mavericks also played a 14-game winning streak start.

So, even if you really get a 12-game winning streak start, it's not a big deal.

After Link finished his training, he walked to the media reception room. No need to think about it. It will be very lively later.

After the last game with the Clippers, Link thought he was enough to make Bill Simmons retreat. As everyone knows, that guy was stunned, and he showed a willingness to stay with him to the end.

"Link wants me to interview him in women's clothing? No problem, this was originally my proposal! But before that, Link has to win the slam dunk contest. If you dare to play, please participate. I am waiting for you. Today Lin Kr did win, but he won't keep winning."

Simmons' response after the game can be regarded as a form of war between the two.

So today, Link expects that many people will ask questions about Bill Simmons.

When Link walked into the media reception room, the original noisy environment became even more noisy.

Link sat on the stage and looked at the reporters below, as if looking for something.

At this moment, the door of the media reception room was slammed open. Everyone's eyes fell to the door, including Link.

As a result, the person standing at the door was the one Link was looking for—Rachel DeMita who was almost late.

"Link, your face..." Seeing Link's swollen face, Rachel almost rushed forward without restraint.

Although Link successfully stopped the bleeding after playing with a mask in the last game, the wound swelled up the next day because of the opening.

That kind of wound is no less than that in a boxing match, so it is inevitable to swell for three to five days. I have to say that Barnes's kick is really black. Fortunately, Barnes also received three additional penalties after the match.

Seeing Link looks like this, Rachel hurts! This is why she is so anxious today.

Basketball is a confrontational sport, and injuries are inevitable. Once an excellent basketball player, Rachel also knew this.

But if the injured person is someone you care about, you will still feel heartache.

When Rachel found everyone was staring at her, she controlled her emotions and found a place to sit down.

At the same time, the press officer announced the start of the press conference, and everyone was free to raise their hands to ask questions, which made people's eyes shift from Rachel to Link.

Throughout the press conference, Rachel couldn't say a word when watching Link whose eyes were swollen like goose eggs.

In the end, she did not ask any questions until the press conference ended.

An hour after the press conference, Rachel was finally able to get along with Link alone. The two met in the underground parking lot, and Link scratched his head in embarrassment.

His current image is really not suitable for dating.

"Damn, the league should ban Barnes for a whole season!" Rachel gritted his teeth looking at Link's wound. This wound is more serious than watching it on TV.

"Hey, it's actually okay, it's inevitable...Ouch, it hurts..."

"You said it's okay, how do you fight tomorrow?"

"The team doctor said, if nothing happens, the swelling will continue to disappear tomorrow. So after I get up tomorrow, the swelling should not be so exaggerated. And the team has also customized the mask for me, and the fit will be better than the black one I wore before It’s good, it can protect me better."

As Link spoke, he took a sports mask out of his backpack. The style of the mask is similar to the black one in the previous game, except that it has become transparent according to the league's requirements.

"Transparent mask...then your wound will be seen clearly~www.wuxiaspot.com~ too ugly. I really don’t know why the league does not allow you to wear a black mask." Rachel borrowed Passed the mask and compared it on Link's face. The wounds have a clear view, which is really detrimental to the image.

"Hey, there's no way. Just be ugly. Just win the game." Link can't help either. Although a fine of $5,000 is not a big deal for him, even if he has money, he can't be so prodigal. .

According to the team doctor's prediction, Link would have to play three to five games with a mask at least. A fine of 5,000 for one game, and 25,000 for five games. Paying a fine of $25,000 for wearing a black mask is too extravagant.

Because of his previous life and the poor experience of playing in the Development League, Link is not the kind of money-spending person, so naturally it is impossible to accept this kind of thing.

"It doesn't matter, bring me the mask back to the hotel tonight. I'll return it to you before the game starts tomorrow." Rachel suddenly laughed, as if thinking of something.

"Huh? What are you doing?"

"Of course, I did some beautification work for the mask." Rachel blinked.
