June, the feverish summer has arrived. Even in Memphis, a city not known for its sunshine, the weather is very sunny.
On the streets of Memphis, people's lives are still going on. Street performers sang songs, and there were many tourists queuing to visit Yayuan, the former residence of "Elvis Presley". Everything seems the same, but some things have obviously changed.
For example, you will obviously find that more and more pedestrians are walking on the street wearing the Grizzlies No. 0 jersey. And most of them only wear the No. 0 jersey in the away game. According to the local explanation, "the dark blue jersey in the away game looks more like a villain, which is more in line with Memphis's style.
The jersey with the Chinese surname "lin" on the back has become a new fashion on the streets of Memphis.
The sunlight shines through the window and enters the bedroom of a small two-story building. In the bedroom, a strong man slowly opened his eyes, probably because of the glare of the sun. He covered his face with the palm of his hand, and then slowly sat up from the bed.
In the bedroom, there is still a video of the game on TV. On the ground, a dark blue Grizzlies No. 0 jersey was scattered. And the man who just got up is the real owner of this jersey.
"Uh...damn, when did you fall asleep yesterday?" Link looked at the clock, it was already ten thirty, and he rarely got up so late.
Last night, Link was alone in the room watching the video of the game. He saw that it was very late, and he didn't know when he fell asleep. But getting up late does not delay things, because the Grizzlies no longer need to train today.
To be precise, the Grizzlies don’t need to train until the 1213 season’s pre-season training camp begins. Because a day ago, the Western Conference Finals was over.
In the sixth game of the series, Link's lore defeated the Thunder, defended the glory of the Federal Express Arena and won praise from all over the world.
But in Game 7 of the series, the Grizzlies failed to make it to the end in Oklahoma City.
In the tiebreaker, the Oklahoma City Thunder gave it all. Durant had 36 points, 8 assists and 6 rebounds in the game, fully supporting this young team.
Link's data is not bad, 25 points, 8 rebounds and 11 assists, a beautiful double-double. But compared with Durant, it was a little bit interesting.
Of course, if Durant only scored 36 points, the Grizzlies would not lose. After all, in the fourth game of the series, the Grizzlies won by scoring more than 80 points.
The key is that in addition to Durant, the Thunder forward Ibaka also magically scored 11 of 11 shots in this game...Even the free throws were 4 of 4 free throws, which really made 100 of them.
In the history of NBA, only 6 players in the previous playoffs have maintained a 100% shooting percentage with more than 9 shots. Entering the millennium, only the 2009 Yao Ming made a record of 9 of 9 shots in the playoffs. The last time someone made 11 of 11 shots in the playoffs was 27 years ago.
After the game, even many reporters and commentators commented in disbelief, "Even when there is no defense in training, no one can be so accurate!"
With Durant playing so well, Ibaka also played a record-breaking superb performance, plus the whistle that always favors the Thunder. In the end, the Grizzlies lost 103 to 109 in the Western Conference Finals tiebreaker.
is only one step away from the Western Conference championship.
But after the game, there was a very interesting scene. Durant didn't raise his arms and cheered, and seemed a little glum. Obviously, the tiebreaker in the series was seriously inconsistent with his expectations.
Durant is unhappy, Link is even more unhappy. It was a surprise to reach the Western Conference finals last year, and it was a pity to fall in the Western Conference finals this year.
What's more, the tiebreaker only lost the Thunder by 6 points.
Therefore, the unwilling Link continued to watch the Thunder's video after the series ended until last night.
Although they lost the ball, the media was full of articles praising Link and Grizzlies. After all, their performance exceeded expectations.
In the beginning, even Kenny Smith, the most optimistic about the Grizzlies, thought the Grizzlies could only win two games at most. Most people insist on the view of 4 to 0 and 4 to 1.
As a result, the Grizzlies and Thunder hit the last second of the final game.
As for Link, his performance of not losing Durant in the series has attracted many people's pursuit. Among them, he grabbed the floor ball and shot the ball to kill the game, then squatted on the ground and stared at Durant's lens, which became one of the most classic pictures of this season.
But none of these praises can satisfy Link, he is still very unwilling. After all, it was the Thunder that finally picked up the Western Conference trophy on the court.
The thought of this made Link very heartbroken. Therefore, I can only use the research video to paralyze myself.
The weather outside is fine, but Link's mood in the room is really gloomy.
Just then, Link's cell phone rang. He answered the phone lazily, and then looked at himself, who was sloppy in the mirror. First release https://https://
"Link, are you awake?" Randolph's voice was on the other end of the phone.
"Of course, what's the matter?"
"Just to remind you, don't forget about the afternoon. You are the face of the team."
"Oh," Link rubbed his eyes and hair that hadn't been washed for two days in the mirror. "Don't worry, I'm a person who cares about personal image."
"Haha, are you kidding me? Accept the defeat?"
"If you don't mention this, I might tell you a few more silly jokes." Link curled his lips. Lan Pang really does not open or mention which pot. Starting
"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense with you. Take care of yourself, remember your failures, but don't be immersed in the failures of the past. See you this afternoon, Link."
"See you this afternoon, buddy."
Hanging up, Link sighed. This afternoon, it seems that I can't comfortably stay at home.
What Randolph said, Link did not forget. This afternoon, the new owner of the Grizzlies, Robert Pera, will invite the players of the team to dinner, and it is the first time to meet everyone.
Robert Pella officially acquired the Grizzlies from Michael Heisley, just one day after the Western Conference finals.
In fact, the two sides may have reached an agreement long ago, but they don't want to affect the players who are fighting ~EbookFREE.me~ so the Grizzlies officially announced the news after the Grizzlies' playoff tour ends.
When he heard the news, Link was not surprised. After all, there has been a lot of noise about Heisley's sale of the team during the regular season.
Although the Grizzlies players didn’t care much about it because they were focused on the game, they were mentally prepared in advance.
So the team suddenly announced the change of bosses at the end of the season, and the players were not surprised.
Meet the new boss of the team. In order to show respect, Link naturally had to dress more formally.
So he opened the door of his closet and found that several expensive suits were almost ashes.
"Uh...or else buy a new set." Link muttered to himself, but quickly rejected the proposal.
It's too wasteful to spend so much.
By the way, even though the new boss has just taken office, Link has more or less heard many rumors about Rudy Gay.
Indeed, Gay has been rumored in the previous two seasons, but the Grizzlies have never taken any substantive action.
I don’t know if this new boss will be more vigorous and vigorous? After he takes office, what changes will the Grizzlies experience?
Link doesn’t know how much the Grizzlies’ trajectory will deviate from the original. But he can guarantee that after having himself, history will definitely not be copied exactly.
Thinking of this, Link suddenly became more interested in the meeting this afternoon.
