: 178. Next stop Memphis

"Noah, don't be too frustrated. The NBA is such a place. It is not a bad thing to go to a new city. If you continue to stay with the Warriors and wait for Ellis to come back, you will not be able to play so freely." Bill Duffy Comforted.
"I understand." Sun Ce is not unable to understand such a situation.
You know, after he was drafted by the Warriors, he was still thinking about which teams he would go to if the Warriors didn’t sign him. He was already prepared to move away. After all, he was only a second-round pick.
It's just that in the past more than a month, he is used to playing with his teammates.
And a team actually replaced him with the center of the list. This kind of completely beyond imagination happened like this, and no one can stop it.
Just mentioning Ellis, Sun Ce was a little sad.
Sun Ce studied with Ellis for so many days. As a result, no official game was played together, and Sun Ce was traded.
Sun Ce thought about a variety of ways to partner Ellis, a Mamba player, but it turned out to be useless!
He really wanted to try it with Ellis.
Everything needs to be tried.
There is no chance to try.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Sun Ce and Old Nelson returned to Oakland. After Bill Duffy learned that Sun Ce was traded last night, he came to Oakland from Los Angeles early this morning. Waiting for Sun Ce to return, he came to the airport to pick up the two and came to the restaurant together. eat lunch.
Seeing that Sun Ce was in a stable mood, Bill Duffy was relieved and didn't have to be as troublesome as appeasing other players.
NBA players, some of them in their 30s, still have the same mentality as when they just came out of college.
Sun Ce's current situation is good, Bill Duffy asked Elder Nelson: "Don, did you really resign? What should I do next? Do you want to go to the Grizzlies as management?"
The question of Bill Duffy made Sun Ce puzzled.
But old Nielsen thought it was normal: "No, I'm going to retire. I go home and smoke occasionally. The team's management role is just a fart. The businessman is now different from the team boss at that time."
Old Nielsen said that smoking is not ordinary smoking, but the kind of smoke that is not prohibited in California.
This attitude is very old Nelson, Bill Duffy has some regrets, can not help Sun Ce find a backer.
Old Nielsen took care of Sun Ce. Generally speaking, even if the preseason and summer league performance is good in the second round, they will not get stable playing time immediately.
But because Nash was Sun Ce’s teacher and Nash was one of the oldest Nielsen’s favorite disciples, he should pay more attention to it. Sun Ce did not notice this nepotism.
Moreover, Old Nelson and Bill Duffy were friends for many years. For example, Sun Ce's first game of playing the Lakers in the preseason to secure a stable playing time was Bill Duffy lobbying Old Nelson.
...
...
"Mom, I didn't get four. I changed Tata to play basketball. If I didn't get four, I would take care of myself..."
"Steve, I'm still in the West. I'll talk again next time..."
"Dayao, it sounds like you have been traded, and your comfort is not convincing at all..."
"John, that's what you called when you called? What new item can I taste? Am I the kind of person...the next time something good comes to Memphis..."
"Thanks, Coach Gentry, I will adjust it..."
"..."
"..."
On the evening of the 16th, Sun Ce received several calls. His parents and friends who had good relationships in the NBA in a short period of time all called him.
Sun Ce found that his popularity seemed pretty good.
In the afternoon, things were packed, and most of the things were packed and sent to Memphis. Only the clothes were changed and Bill Duffy would come to pick him up at the airport.
It's hasty. Trading in the season is a hassle for players.
Yesterday I was still playing against my former teammates, and today I am already a Grizzlies player.
Sun Ce has accepted this fact. On the way, Sun Ce checked the current status of the Grizzlies on the Internet, learn more about it, and prepare to meet the next unknown things.
Through an online survey, Sun Ce learned something, and can't say in-depth understanding, but at least I got a rough idea. This is the benefit of the information age. If you switch to a role player who was traded 10 years ago, it is really desperate. of.
Sun Ce learned that the Grizzlies currently play 10 games, with a record of 4 wins and 6 wins, ranking 11th in the West...
Since the Grizzlies lost to the Warriors, they have only won 1 of 5 games.
The depth of the outside lineup is the Grizzlies' biggest problem, especially the point guard position. In addition to Conley, the best backup point guard is actually Jamal Tinsley, a veteran who has not played for more than a year.
"No wonder they want to trade me..." Sun Ce learned the reason for the transaction.
The Grizzlies' best player this season is Randolph, averaging 21 points, 12 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1 steal and 0.4 blocks per game... The defensive stats are fascinating.
The second is Gasol Jr. and Guy. Gasol Jr. is averaging 13+9+3 and Guy is averaging 18+6+2. They are equally good and are Randolph’s best helpers.
Next up is Mayo, averaging 15+3+3 per game, unsatisfactory performance.
Conley has also improved from last season. He is currently averaging 11.5 points and 5 assists per game, which is an improvement from last season's average of 10+4.
Compared with the Warriors, Sun Ce's new teammates are obviously more powerful than one grade!
Just when Mayo's name was found, Sun Ce felt a bit of a pain, he had a holiday with Mayo!
Just over ten days ago, he had a crush on Mayo, and now he became a teammate...
Take one step at a time! Compete for a job in a big deal!
...
At six o'clock, Bill Duffy took care of some things and came to pick up Sun Ce to the airport. At eight o'clock, he could reach Memphis at about ten thirty, and he was expected to be in the Grizzlies by 12 o'clock. Hotel.
"Bill, I heard that Memphis is a ghost place where birds don't want to shit. Can there live people there?"
"Noah, where did you hear that Memphis is the largest city in the Southeastern United States!"
"Really?"
"Of course...of course it is true!"
"Why is your tone so weird, stuttering, yes, that is the Southeastern United States? God, I went to play in the Southwest Division, but the team is in the Southeastern United States..."
...
Arriving in Memphis, coming out of the airport in Memphis, catching a taxi, on the way to the hotel, Sun Ce looked at the street view outside the window, and then look at Bill Duffy, who is not too far behind.
"Mai Mai Phi! Is this the largest city in the legendary southeast region?"
Memphis is big! Sun Ce looked at the map on the plane. The total area of ​​Memphis is larger than the sum of the five Miami~EbookFREE.me~The famous cities in the southeast of Miami, Orlando, and Atlanta are not as large as Memphis.
But... in addition to being big, what is Memphis comparable to those three cities?
Cotton companies, rapeseed companies, agricultural machinery parts, agricultural vehicle parts... Various agricultural-related billboards stand on the roadside.
There is also the largest cargo airport in the United States, but the civil airport ranks in the bottom of the United States, that is, the largest industry here is cargo transit, and the civil airport does not have international flights!
When he came out of the airport, Sun Ce felt how small the airport in this city was!
Sparse and sparse houses, it took a long time to drive to the urban area. The urban area feels not as good as Auckland, it should be said that it is much worse!
Came to the Sheraton Downtown Hotel in the Shelby area of ​​Memphis, next to a hotel on the river bank.
The FedEx Center, home of the Grizzlies, is only 1.6 kilometers away from here, and it's very close to driving in three or four minutes.
When I arrived at the hotel, I made an appointment with Bill Duffy to report to the Grizzlies tomorrow, so I went to my room to rest.
After Sun Ce entered the room, he went straight to the balcony with his things under control, and looked at the river view outside the window. If there is something similar to Auckland, it is probably that the stadium is on the river.
Only one is an inland river and the other is a bay.
All the past has passed, and now we have to start a new life.
It was 11:55 and Sun Ce shouted out of the window in Chinese: "Grizzly, Lao Tzu!"
After a few seconds, the guests in the hotel next door upstairs and downstairs all uttered screams...
Hearing that some of his elder brothers were scared, Sun Ce quickly scolded a few words...
