Link sat on the plane back to Memphis, feeling uneasy.

Today, the Grizzlies' flight was half an hour longer than planned to take off. It was not because of some accidents on the way, but because Link was surrounded by reporters when he left the hotel and entered the airport!

Since the NBA has detailed technical statistics, it is the first player to score a triple-double of 50 points in a single game. The weight of this title is extraordinary. It is definitely not easy to stick anything to the "first in history".

Link has become the hottest star now. All reporters waited at the hotel and airport gates overnight to interview Link, the number one person in history.

Therefore, the Grizzlies players spent more time than usual in squeezing out of hotels and into airports. In this way, the flight was forced to be delayed.

"Hey, Link."

Just as Link was sitting in his seat and staring blankly at the incredible record he had created, Iguodala walked to Link and shouted.

"Ah!?" Hearing someone calling him, Link came to his senses.

"Hehe, sign me up."

"Ah!?" Link found that he had become a repeater, and even his teammates were asking him to sign his own? It's so exaggerated!

"My son is clamoring for your signature. Alas, as an NBA star, my son does not admire his father, but his father's teammates. I'm very stressed for you like this, Link, hahahaha."

"Stop signing, tomorrow I will send you a pair of signature shoes to your house. Don't mess with me Andre, I'm dizzy now." Link waved his hand and then held his forehead.

Things happened so suddenly that Link felt caught off guard.

Last night, he really didn't want to break any record, let alone do things that no one had done before.

But George was really too strong, so Link had to force himself to work harder and harder.

Then, a 50-point triple-double data was produced.

As a result, when the interview was over after the game, the reporters did not mention the first thing in history at all, because they probably didn't even react to what Link did!

This record is indeed quite unpopular, and it has not been mentioned for so many years, so everyone is caught off guard.

By the time the media realized it, Link had already left the stadium. He failed to interview this matter in time, and the media would definitely want to do their best to make up for it the next day.

No wonder the Grizzlies were delayed by reporters today.

Of course, Link would not look at what records could be broken all day long, so he really put himself in such a situation by accident.

It feels so weird that I accidentally startled myself.

Link felt that he might be the first player to break the record and scare him because the record was too exaggerated.

But then I thought about it, Link did something ahead of the times. When Westbrook and Harden scored 50 points and triple-double several times in the future, fans were no longer surprised by all kinds of exaggerated data.

In that era when three-pointers and fast-paced basketball were popular, stars always gave out exaggerated data every few days. But now it is the end of 2013, and it is already amazing that a player can score more than 35 points in a single game!

Things that are beyond the times usually cause sensation, and Link's 50-point triple-double is naturally no exception.

Link is very troubled now. He is so popular in Indianapolis that he can't imagine what kind of situation he will look like after resisting Memphis.

Last night, Link and George were still discussing the issue of small cities and attention. Generally speaking, players in big cities must have higher attention, and higher attention means higher commercial value. This is also the reason why many stars want to go to big cities after squeezing their heads.

But as of now, Link is not short of attention even in Memphis.

On the contrary, Link felt that his attention was too high now, and he didn't know how to get out later.

In a daze, the flight attendant reminded everyone that the plane began to land. Outside the window, Link had also seen the land in Tennessee.

Link took a deep breath, as if facing a great enemy. He will be at the airport later, and he will not be able to return home without fighting his life.

"Link is already making history, you have to admit that he is likely to be the greatest player of this era! No, maybe he is now!"

"Everyone thinks that the last ten years of the 21st century belong to LeBron James, but Link's emergence broke James' plan."

"How difficult is it to be a 50-point triple-double? Others deliberately want to swipe this data, but they may not be able to swipe it out. Although Link only scored 39 points at the end of the regular time, there was no triple-double. Even if it was added with overtime, it was extremely difficult to get this data."

"Link once again proves that basketball is not about race. In the future, we also want to see more and more Asian players in the league."

On the TV, there was a mess of discussion on Link's program.

No matter which channel you switch to, as long as it is a channel related to sports, they are all talking about Link.

The incident of Link scoring a 50-point triple-double was no less than the "Lin Crazy" incident he and Jeremy Lin created back then, and even had a greater impact than that at that time.

The TV was on in Link's living room, but the programs about him above could no longer arouse Link's interest or attention.

He is already tired.

And at this time, Link was confused by the newly arranged business activities in Austin.

As the same goes, the increase in attention is proportional to the increase in the business value of players.

After Link scored a 50-point triple-double, a lot of commercial activities came to him again.

"I'll accept the endorsement of Gatorade. Anyway, I just take some time to take pictures of posters. By the way, there are several clothing brands inviting you to have dinner together during the All-Star Game. It seems that your All-Star journey will be very busy this year, but you have to go to Link. Oh, and there is also."

Link put his phone on the table and turned on the hands-free.

Jeff Austin has been saying this for half an hour, and Link is drowsy when he hears it, and is now leaning against the sofa and is dozing.

Sure enough, life as a big star is sometimes not as wonderful as people imagine.

Link has not stopped since he squeezed out of the airport today. He will be interviewed for a while and will be dealt with the fans again.

On the contrary, only in the training hall did Link feel that the whole world was quiet.

"Link, Link! Are you still listening?"

"Are you here, as long as you don't disturb the training, you'll participate, no problem." Link replied lazily, but in fact he didn't listen to a word.

"Silly boy, this is the first time I met someone who has created a league record but is so listless. Forget it, let's talk to you about something you are interested in. Next summer, your contract with the Grizzlies will expire. Do you have any ideas?"

Sure enough, as soon as he talked about this topic, Link's eyes shone, "I have no idea, I'll just renew my contract with the Grizzlies."

"I knew you would answer this way. If you are sure you don't look at the quotes of other teams? I have received the news that if the Heat don't win the championship this summer, the Big Three will likely disband. It is not impossible to join forces with LeBron. By the way, the Lakers are also using checks to wave to people in the free agent market. Didn't you say you are a Lakers fan? Don't you consider it?"

"No need to consider it. When I was a fan, I was a Lakers fan, but now I am a player, not a fan." Link spread his hands.

"Hahahaha, good boy. Nowadays, loyalty is becoming less and less common in this league. James signs a 1+1 contract every year, just to leave at any time. In the future, more and more stars will follow him to sign a 1+1 contract. I'm very happy that you can have your own persistence. But as a professional manager, I must remind you that big cities like Los Angeles are actually more suitable for your development. Even so, do you want to continue to stay in Memphis?"

"I want to stay, Jeff." Link's answer was not even a second hesitation.

"Okay, that's good. In this way, I can have formal contact with your general manager. They regret only signing with you for three years, because if they sign for four years, they can renew your contract with you in advance, and there is no need to let you enter the free agent market. I have had preliminary contact with Chris Wallace. I have to say, Link, your boss has invested a lot in order to keep you this time!"

"Is that so? How much are they willing to bid?" Link smiled. He was not worried that Grizzlies would treat him badly, but was just curious about the price of his next contract.

After all, the contract price for players not only means money, but also means recognition from others.

"I can't say it yet, and there are no exact numbers. I can only tell you that players who create history should be given the price of creating history."
