Sam Smith has become the hottest sports journalist this summer. He posted three posts in a row on the Grizzlies on July 1, making him seem to be back in the 90s.
At that time, he was one of the most high-profile basketball reporters in the world. At this time, this feeling came back.
This makes Sam Smith very happy.
In any case, he managed to get Link's heat. Of course, I would also like to see Link's disillusionment surpassing Jordan.
Bill Simmons, as the former No. 1 Lin Hei, now the No. 1 Lin Fan, naturally cannot sit back and watch.
Early the next morning, he picked up Sam Smith, an old colleague.
"You are as old as Michael. Link is in decline? You idiot has never experienced Link's horror."
Bill Simmons now is actually so similar to Sam Smith back then.
He also played an indispensable role in Link's road to fame. Link and Bill Simmons are not like Jordan and Sam Smith back then.
The duel between two generations of great stars and two generations of well-known sports reporters left fans with deep emotion.
This era is different from before, but it is so similar.
Link thanked Simmons for speaking for himself, but he still didn't have time to get involved in the water fight.
Link was driving to the Federal Express Arena at this time, and he made an appointment today at the arena.
Of course, if all goes well, they will see each other in the Federal Express Arena every day next season.
This summer, the streets of Memphis were a bit less joyful and a bit more worrying.
Although the Grizzlies have just established their second dynasty, fans are worried about the fate of the Grizzlies next season.
When Link arrived at the entrance of the arena, a poster celebrating the establishment of the second dynasty was hung on the outer wall of the arena. But on the car radio, the host is worried about the Grizzlies' reinforcement this summer.
Link shook his head, this kind of atmosphere is really not in line with Memphis's temperament.
Parked the car, Link walked into the arena hall.
The lobby of the Federal Express Arena is as beautiful as ever, with many elements related to "Elvis" and jazz on the murals, which deserves the title of "the league's most artistic arena".
Of course, in the past few years, there have been more murals about Link in the arena. It can be used with "Elvis Presley" and jazz music, which shows Link's status in Memphis.
Link arrived fifteen minutes earlier than the scheduled time, but surprisingly, the person he had arranged came earlier!
When Link walked into the arena, he found that he was already watching the mural and waiting for himself.
"Come so early?" Link yelled, and the empty hall was full of Link's responses.
After hearing Link's voice, a guy with dirty braids turned his head.
The phrase "GodSpeed" is tattooed on his neck. It can be seen that this is his new tattoo recently. Because last season, there was nothing on his neck.
The phrase "GodSpeed" originated from Godspeedyouonyourway, which means that your way forward is blessed by God, and it aims to bless others with the meaning of good luck and success, and to express your vision and blessings for the future.
The content of this tattoo fits that guy's experience very well.
"I want to come to this arena earlier, but I didn't expect you to come so early, Link." The man smiled and greeted Link.
To be honest, he didn't expect Link to call himself. After all, he is already a less useful person...
In the past three years, he has changed three teams. The shortest ever, only played 16 games there before being abandoned.
Although his performance warmed up last season, he still did not get a contract extension this summer.
No one believes him anymore.
In other words, he is about to experience his fourth team change in these years.
It is not a gratifying thing to be abandoned by various teams.
But the experience of these years has also smoothed his edges and corners. As long as there is a ball to play, he is content.
After all, just last summer, he even thought about retiring...
Therefore, when he received the call from Link, he was very shocked.
Now he just wants to have the ball to play, and he dare not want to compete for the championship. Although, this used to be his only goal.
Suddenly being invited by the championship team made him a little flattered.
He came so early that he didn't really want to visit the arena. He just wanted to prepare in advance and leave a good impression on the other party.
After all, no one in this world has believed in his ability for a long, long time.
He didn't want to disappoint the person who believed in himself!
"Let's go Derek, let's talk while walking. At noon, I will invite you to have a meal and experience Memphis food." Link looked at Derek Rose who was grinning and patted him on the shoulder.
A few years ago, when Rose called himself and begged Link to let him participate in the training camp, Link agreed without hesitation.
Unexpectedly, a few years later, I changed my phone to beg Rose.
After that year, Rose came to Link training camp every summer. The high level of summer training has indeed greatly improved Rose's level.
As a result, in Minneapolis last season, Derek Rose put out an average of 18 points per game!
Once again, Link Training Camp did a miracle.
Of course, Rose's participation in training camps in the past few years has not only improved his level, but also his personal relationship with Link.
These two guys who had hardly any personal interaction before, are now close friends.
Without this relationship, Rose might have signed his name on the contract given by the Pistons yesterday.
But Link's call made Rose change his mind.
While talking, the two walked to the honor showroom.
As soon as Link came up, he took Rose to the holy ground of the Federal Express Arena.
After entering the showroom, the six championship trophies were neatly placed in the display cabinet, golden light.
The intense light even made Rose's eyes narrowed.
Six championship trophies are also displayed in the showroom of the Chicago United Center. But because it was a product of Jordan's era, it always felt like it was out of reach.
However, the owner of the six trophies in front of him was standing beside Rose at this time. Moreover, he also invited himself to move forward with him towards the seventh trophy!
This makes the six trophies in front of Ross more real, and it seems that they are not so far away.
Rose couldn't help but stretched out his hand to touch the trophy, but was blocked by the glass of the showcase.
Link smiled, and a staff member of the arena was called and opened the showcase.
This is the privilege Pella gave to Link. He could even take the O'Brien Cup home and set it for a few days if he wanted to.
"Can you?" Ross swallowed while looking at the O'Brien cup that Link handed over.
"of course."
After getting a positive answer from Link, Rose took the heavy trophy.
In an instant, his body seemed to be electrocuted. The scenes of the previous scenes flashed through Rose's mind.
The No. 1 pick in the 2008 draft, the youngest MVP...Isn’t the one you used to fight for this trophy?
He has always wanted to catch up with what he used to be, but he has forgotten his main goal.
He is more than just wanting to stay in the league to play, what he wants is to climb to the top and overlook everything!
Rose stared at the trophy in his hand, fascinated ~EbookFREE.me~ On the surface of the trophy, Rose saw himself in reflection.
Now, do you dare to challenge the original goal?
Not just go to a team casually, but to challenge the whole world!
Do you still have such courage! ? Even now only Link believes in you!
"Link." After watching the trophy for a few minutes, Rose handed it back to Link.
"How is it? Derek."
"I join!"
Link nodded with a smile, no high-quality champion puzzle? That's why you haven't found his quality!
In 2007, a talented high school student came to the University of Memphis and opened his path to create a legend.
In 2019, Rose returned to Memphis. And, it will grow wild here and bloom again!
