The Los Angeles Clippers lost to Memphis, and the next day, many media reported on this.

What's more, from the Grizzlies' first victory, they have been looking back to Game 68.

However, among the many special reports, one photo is always placed in a very conspicuous position.

In the photo, the calm Link contrasts sharply with the excited crowd around him.

He did not hug his teammates, nor did he raise his arms to run around the court. Instead, he just stood coldly and pointed to the Grizzlies' empty dome.

Everyone knows what this means. After winning the single season 68 wins, Link will start to attack the title!

"Link will officially launch an attack on the championship. Are everyone else ready?"

"In fact, Link has already won the championship pennant. They are the regular season champions of the Western Conference this year, and they finally surpass the Spurs and become the champions of the Southwest Division. There is no doubt that when Link points to that place the next time he points to that place, the dome entry of the Federal Express Arena will not be empty anymore."

"The Grizzlies have achieved remarkable achievements. The last team that could win 68 in the regular season can be traced back to the 71-72 season. In modern basketball, it is simply a miracle to be able to win 68 games!"

The whole world is praising the grizzlies, which is a situation Memphis has never encountered before.

The popularity of the Grizzlies winning 68 even surpassed the playoffs. In the past, most media were doing playoff previews.

But this year, looking through all the basketball media, they are reporting almost all about the Grizzlies.

In the midst of jubilation, people found that the Grizzlies had not reacted much. Apart from the release of relevant news on the official website that night, they remained silent.

They neither set up the stadium with the number "68", nor did they release commemorative T-shirts like they did when they won 60 wins.

Grizzlies fans shouted, "Take my money and get out the commemorative T-shirt as soon as possible."

However, the grizzly bear remained motionless.

The reason is actually very simple. The Grizzlies still have two games to play. These "bandits" were not satisfied with winning 68 wins.

If you can make up an integer, wouldn't that be nice?

With 68 wins, they can only rank third in NBA history. Moreover, they are tied for third with the Celtics in 1972 and the Philadelphia 76ers in 1967.

Although it is great enough, the Grizzlies can do even greater.

Becoming the second team in league history to win 70 wins in a single season? Well, it sounds like a lot of bluffs.

Before Link went to the training hall the next day, he had lunch with his manager Jeff Austin.

Jeff Austin hasn't been in contact with Link for a while because he's busy with the draft. For every manager, the closer they get to summer, the busier they get.

The various contract renewal, contract signing and other matters of players must be handled by the manager.

And summer is the peak of such business.

"Busy in the draft? So, you have officially become the manager of the Greeks?" Link sat in the restaurant and joked with his manager.

"To be precise, he has not yet obtained Greek nationality. But no matter which country he is from in the future, I believe he will become a player as outstanding as you. Well, maybe he will be a little worse than you, but he will definitely become very good."

Austin spread his hands and since betting against Link, the undraft, Jeff Austin has become more and more confident in his vision. Therefore, when he first discovered the guy who was under 18 in the Greek Second Division, Austin decided to help him make a fortune in the NBA.

"Forget it, my physical condition is not as good as him. That kid has innate advantages compared to many people. By the way, what is his name?" Link asked knowingly, wanting to hear Austin's poor accent when he read that name.

"Jannis Antetokounmpo, the kid is Jannis Antetokounmpo. Don't worry, Link. You can fight him next season."

Jeff Austin smiled sly, he could read the name smoothly.

Link and Jeff Austin have been very busy recently, so it is natural that they can't be idle enough to take time to meet in order to chat about a rookie who has not yet entered the league.

Today, Jeff Austin comes mainly to deal with Link's problem.

Link will expire in June this year. Signing a new sneaker contract is Link's only signing task this summer.

When the two met last time, Austin had already told Link about Nike's offer. In order to keep Link, Nike offered hundreds of millions of dollars!

As a undraft pick, it is thankful to get a sneaker contract. And Link is about to break the largest sneaker contract record for a undrafted player and also has to issue signature shoes.

But this time, the situation changed. I guess Nike didn't expect that Link could make such a huge leap in just half a season, from a potential star to a top player in the league.

Therefore, Nike reevaluated Link's value.

Like NBA contract renewal, the contract renewal in the sneaker industry also has their own standards and rules.

If a player and a brand of sneakers contract are about to expire, then other brands can also bid. If the original brand wants to retain the player, it must match the contract of the same size as the quoted one.

The more famous one is Durant. When his first contract with Nike ended, Under Armour offered a high price to grab people. As a result, Nike spent a lot of money to match them.

As it turns out, keeping Durant is Nike's most correct decision. Now, Durant's KD series is a very important branch of Nike.

Now Nike has made a similar decision after reevaluating Link's commercial value.

"Did you know? Nike has decided that no matter how big the offer other brands give you this summer, they will choose to match, unconditional match! Nike decided to pay the full price and leave you behind. At the beginning, their offer was still capped. But now, your price code is not capped!"

Austin looked at Link proudly while eating. The business contract is the one that managers take the most commissions. The bigger the contract, the greater the Austin's profits will naturally be.

"Well, I'm not surprised at all. Didn't you say that last time? They already have plans to prepare signature shoes for me. But I'm curious, what price will my sneaker contract be this summer? Can you predict it? Jeff."

Link still remembers that when Austin came to him last time, Nike's offer was between 120 million and 150 million.

So how much will it become after most of the season?

"Swallow the soup in your mouth quickly. I don't want you to spray it on your face. I hear it clearly, boy. According to the current situation, your net worth in the sneaker market this summer is about this number." Austin said, 3 fingers were higher.

"Nearly 300 million?" When Link said the word "300 million", he couldn't help but tremble.

How much does this fucking cost!

Austin nodded slightly, and the latest market said that the value of Link's mistake in sneakers this summer is about 300 million!

After Link calmed down, he leaned forward and fell to the backrest of the chair.

After experiencing a superstar-like season, now, he finally has a superstar-like value!
Chapter completed!
