Link actually didn't really want to care about Embiid's messy matter at first.

After all, Link is one of the few people who once criticized Embiid for being autistic.

A few years ago, Embiid had provoked Link without knowing the truth. Perhaps he thought that he could handle Westbrook and Whiteside, and he could also handle Link.

The result was that Embiid was abused on the court and was ridiculed off the court so that he had no room for a fight.

After that, Embiid never provoked Link again.

Even though he spitted all over the league, he never made trouble for Link.

After confirming that he was the number one person in the league who was not easy to mess with.

After that, Link and Embiid had almost no intersection.

This time, Link didn't want to have anything to do with that guy Embiid.

After all, Link is already motivated to be a gentle person and be a good role model for his daughter.

So in recent years, Link has rarely done things like swearing at press conferences and typing on the keyboard online.

He is now at most squirting about trash talk during the game.

Link was not interested in making a spoiler on Twitter.

But when Embiid was arrogant and arrogant again and again, Link couldn't help it.

Jokic is not good at talking trash, and Embiid is endless.

I have been looking for soft persimmons to pinch, but I still dare to say that I am a professional troll?

So, Link openly helped Jokic speak out today. He had long been disgusted with Embiid's unrestrained appearance, but then again, Link himself was unrestrained back then...

No one knows double standards better than Link.

Seeing that Link actually responded to this incident on his own initiative, the reporters instantly turned into sharks that smelled bloody.

I wish I could rush up and dismember Link.

Countless reporters raised their hands and wanted to continue asking questions. The incident was officially escalated. Now, the two major squirting gods in the league will be directly tied!

Link looked at the excited reporters, but he was not very excited. Embiid's sarcastic skills were just getting started.

If it weren't for the social media era, this guy wouldn't have even caused any storm.

Finally, Link just left a sentence to the reporter in an understatement: "This is just a warning. If you are tactful, just shut up, Joel."

After saying that, Link took Jokic away and ended the press conference, leaving only a group of reporters behind him who were in full swing.

"Hehe, you still have the courage, Link!" Jokic followed Link happily, showing a silly smile.

Link shook his head speechlessly, if you weren't just dating your girlfriend, would it be my turn to take action?

"Be prepared for Nikola, you can bear this year's Christmas battle, and Joel Embiid will definitely do his best to defeat you."

"Don't worry, I won't embarrass you. No matter what Embiid said, he's done, hahahaha!"

Link shook his head, and Jokic did not play according to the routine.

Although he didn't care about Embiid's speech on social media, Jokic's desire to win was strong.

Jokic has been affected by staying with Link for so many years.

If you are used to winning, you will definitely not easily accept failure.

Link's "intimidation" undoubtedly made Embiid feel embarrassed.

Many years ago, he was just a small rookie, and the Philadelphia 76ers were also a lottery team, so he could only let Link bully him.

But now it's different. He is already the top center in the league, and the Philadelphia 76ers are now one of the championship teams.

Link is still treating him as a kid now, and Embiiddo is really angry.

But considering that Link is indeed not easy to mess with, the "Emperor" was still... timid in the end!

A real man can bend and stretch, and Embiid also knows this truth.

He originally wanted to challenge Jokic, who is known as the strongest center in the West, as the strongest center in the East.

From the beginning, Embiid had no intention of provoking Link.

But now Link took the initiative to speak, things were undoubtedly beyond Embiid's control.

No matter how crazy Embiid is, he knows that there are a few people in this alliance that cannot be messed with.

Link is one of them.

So, when Link warned Embiid not to cause trouble, the fans and reporters who were waiting to eat the melons did not gain anything.

People thought Link would replace Jokic and fought Embiid on social media for 300 rounds.

But after that, Embiid's social media account became quiet for a while.

There was no mutual criticism and no follow-up, and this matter seemed to end with Link's warning.

The reporters have to admit that Link has indeed brought too much psychological shadow to the players in this league.

He just said that he had managed the "professional troll" Embiid to obey.

Although he did not fight Embiid on social media, the Grizzlies were not idle during this period.

The Grizzlies, as Barkley predicted, are moving further and further on the road to winning streak.

After defeating the Thunder, on December 20, the Grizzlies beat their former rival Knights in Cleveland.

Cleveland fans are no strangers to the Grizzlies, after all, a few years ago, the NBA championship was between the Grizzlies and the Cavaliers.

However, the Cavaliers have now changed from a championship team to a lottery team. However, the Grizzlies are still the unstoppable Grizzlies.

The Cavaliers' starting center "Eight Wise Kings" Tristan Thompson repeated Adams' old path and was beaten by his teacher.

Thompson is OK in defending some blue-collar insiders with rough skills, but he really can't take advantage of Jokic, who wins by relying on skills and is at a disadvantage in height.

Jokic still beat the opponent's inside line today, with 27 points, 11 assists and 13 rebounds, and scored a triple-double.

Without LeBron, Link was happy. He played 30 minutes lightly, then took away 27 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists, and took away the victory.

Compared to 103, the Grizzlies easily beat the Cavaliers in the Quick Loan Center, expanding their winning streak to 12 games.

Jokic's continued excellent performance made the reporters extremely excited.

If we continue to fight like this, the collision between Jokic and Embiid will definitely be quite exciting.

Both of them are in great shape recently, and by then, they will definitely stage a fierce collision between top insiders.

However, all this was shattered in the back-to-back match between the Grizzlies and the Kings on December 21.

In this game, Jokic continued to kill all sides. Because the Kings' inside line was really weak, even worse than the previous Thunder and the Cavaliers.

Neither Rijon Holmes, who is 2.08 meters tall, nor Jokic's Serbian compatriot Belicia could withstand the torture of this fat man.

Jokic beat like a fish in water, and the Grizzlies also gained a huge advantage.

However, when the game was in the third quarter, Jokic fell down after a breakthrough layup. The moment he fell, he subconsciously supported the floor with his hands.

As a result, Jokic's excessive weight made his wrist twist hard.

After that, Jokic did not return to the basketball court.

His injury retouched, touching the hearts of all fans. After all, the 76ers and the Grizzlies were about to begin in a few days.

If Jokic is absent, his battle with Embiid will not be staged as scheduled!

Although the Grizzlies finally won easily, the fans' attention is no longer on the results of the game.

After the game, the Grizzlies' official report on Jokic's injury was soon announced.

The good news is that Jokic's wrist has no structural damage. To put it bluntly, it is just an ordinary sprain.

But the bad news is that even if it is just a normal sprain, it will take a certain amount of recovery time. That is to say, Jokic will miss this year's Christmas battle!

The reporters and fans were wailing, and the long-awaited top center duel was ruined?

Jokic was also helpless. He also wanted to confront Embiid head-on.

But in the fierce field, this kind of unexpected minor injury is difficult to completely eliminate. Jokic's attendance rate is already very high for centers of his weight.

However, Embiid did not feel a pity. Jokic's injury retreat gave him the capital and courage to respond to Link!

Embiid has been almost suffocating these days. The feeling of wanting to slander people but not daring to swear is simply a torture for him.

He wanted to respond to Link, but he was afraid that he would be embarrassed if he couldn't win the game in the end.

But now the situation has changed. Jokic will have a few days off, which means that Embiid's biggest opponent in the fifth position will automatically surrender!

This made Embiid full of confidence. He believed that he would definitely be able to kill all sides in the Christmas battle!

At that time, the 76ers will have a greater chance of winning.

So, after many days, Embiid finally responded to Link on social media.

"I have the final say on whether I can have a good Christmas, Link. Come on and see if you can take the victory away from Philadelphia."

Embiid's keyboard is so good to type. After so much aggrieved, he finally vented!

I was just trying to get rid of Jokic, but now I can go over the top and get rid of Link!

This time Embiid is about to defeat the nightmare that has been shrouded in his heart for many years.

The next day, during a routine interview during the team's training, reporters asked about Link Jokic's injury.

Of course, the ultimate goal is to bring up topics related to Embiid: "Link, without Jokic, wouldn't it be more difficult to fight Embiid and the 76ers in the Christmas battle?"

"Tough?" Link looked at the camera in surprise. "Why is it difficult? Losing Jokic is certainly a huge loss, but Joel Embiid... Please, our substitute center can beat him."

Link smiled confidently.
Chapter completed!
