Since starting a European tour with Link, Rachel’s social media accounts have been very popular.
Because every day, she will take photos with Link when she travels. At a time when basketball fans all over the world are discussing transactions and personnel changes, Link's appearance can be said to be very fresh and refined.
Of course, Rachel’s behavior of spreading dog food also makes those fans who look forward to the breakup of Link and Rachel very desperate.
Most of the girlfriends that stars have made after they become famous, generally do not spend too much time together.
Even for players like Thompson and Chandler Parsons who look honest, the speed at which they switch girlfriends is amazing.
Klink and Rachel, but they have maintained a very loving state. Apart from work photos on Rachel's social media, she has the most pictures with Link.
And when Rachel posted a picture of Link proposing to herself under the bridge of sighs on July 17th on her social media, male fans all over the world who liked Rachel were suffering from angina.
Link also inexplicably became the first player to make headlines not because of the transfer during this lively transfer period.
"Congratulations Link, for winning the championship and embracing the beauty, 2015 is almost a perfect year for him!"
"Link must be the happiest man in the world now, congratulations!"
"We have no reason not to bless him. I hope Link and Rachel will always be happy."
Although in basketball, Link is often hacked by the media.
But in the matter of marriage proposal, Link received all the blessings.
Basketball's grievances belong to basketball, and the media will not be so vicious to attack Link in life.
Moreover, after the transfer of James and Durant, Link's image in people's minds has gradually improved.
Now, Durant and James, who have become mad, are more like villains, and Link has become a decent player who sticks to the bottom line.
Durant was very depressed, very depressed. The news about his transfer to the Warriors only went viral for one day, and the next day Link was overwhelmed by his proposal.
Once again, he felt frustrated after losing to Link.
It's fine if you can't win Link in a game. Now he can't even grab Link in the headlines...
This makes Durant quite unhappy.
Therefore, Durant, who barely played much last season, started his special training early this season.
He is about to be ashamed next year!
He wants to prove to the world that he is not a coward. He wants to prove to the world that he will not lose to Link forever!
Indeed, after Durant joined the Warriors, the Warriors' championship prospects have greatly increased.
With the Grizzlies lineup, it is really difficult to compete with the Warriors. Link may be able to beat any one of Curry, Thompson, Green and Durant alone.
But when the four of them add up, Link may not be able to withstand it.
People expected the Grizzlies to make some moves in the trading market, but after Gasol renewed their contract, the Grizzlies disappeared from the market.
It's not that they don't want to strengthen, but that nobody can sign.
Duncan, James, Love, Aldridge and other powerful players, these big fish in the free agent market, have long belonged.
What about the rest? Even after signing, it is difficult to make any substantial improvement to the Grizzlies' strength.
Monroe is the only one who is not bad, but he also rejected the offers of the Grizzlies, Lakers and Knicks and other teams to join the Bucks with 50 million in three years. He did not choose victory, but chose the side with the higher price.
The cruel fact is that Link will probably have to take a bunch of old, small, and extremely unbalanced lineups next season to defend the championship.
It was already early August when Link and Rachel returned to Memphis.
Until now, apart from the four rookies and Gasol's contract extension, the Grizzlies have not completed any signings.
But Link didn't care, he was still immersed in the happy time with Rachel at this time.
In the afternoon, Link and Rachel made a special appointment with Robert Pera for dinner.
Link is very grateful to Pella for meeting his request to get the championship ring in advance, so he sincerely thanked him face to face.
Pella waved her hand, "Don't thank me, Link. This is a trivial matter. In fact, I have a more headache now."
"What's the matter? Maybe I can help you."
"You can't help me, Link. What I have a headache is what kind of wedding gift should I give you a good enough, hahahahaha!"
Rachel blushed.
In fact, the night when Link proposed to Rachel, the two discussed marriage. There is no need to procrastinate after all proposals have been made.
But when the new season starts, Link and Rachel will be very busy, and there is no time for a wedding.
Let's get married this summer. Some are too rushed to prepare for the wedding properly.
Therefore, the two initially plan to get married next summer.
Although it has to wait another year, Rachel doesn't feel sad.
Because no matter whether the wedding was held or not, she had already put on the ring that Link gave herself and accepted Link's heart.
She is already Link's wife, even if only his fiancée.
After dinner, Rachel went to the bathroom. After Rachel left, Robert Pella's smile on his face all night, but gradually disappeared.
"Link."
"what happened?"
"Congratulations, really, I am happy for you from the bottom of my heart."
"You don't just want to say this, right?" Link smiled. As a master of psychological warfare, he can easily analyze the true emotions of the other party.
"Um... I want to say that this summer, we really got nothing. I am very sorry for that."
Pella shook his head. In the free agent market this summer, the Grizzlies were a complete failure.
Not only a bunch of people walked away, there was no decent reinforcement yet.
"You are crazy, Pella. The team owner apologized to the players, I might be the first one." Link waved his hand, he couldn't stand Pella's apology.
This young boss has done enough.
"Everyone knows that you were compared with Michael Jordan. People are expecting that you can do things that even Michael Jordan never did. For example..." Rattle paused, "For example, four consecutive championships!"
Four consecutive championships, this is something that hardly anyone can do.
That’s right, the Celtics in ancient times created the miracle of 8 consecutive championships. But the league at that time and the current league are completely different things, so these eight consecutive championships do not actually have much reference value.
After 8 consecutive championships for 25 years, the NBA has never seen a team capable of three consecutive championships until Michael Jordan and his Bulls appeared.
Generally speaking, in modern basketball, people think that the record for the most consecutive championships is three consecutive championships. Three consecutive championships have been enough to prove the terrible strength of a team. And four consecutive championships are something that people can't even think of.
Even the "god" Jordan has only managed three consecutive championships.
Some people will say that if Jordan does not retire halfway, he may really achieve the miracle of four consecutive championships.
But there is no if in competitive sports. If you have not done it, you have not done it.
Link has indeed been used by people to compare with Jordan, but he wants to be greater than Jordan, so he needs to do something that Jordan could not do.
Four consecutive championships are the most convincing among them.
"But nowadays, we want to achieve the goal, it is indeed a bit difficult. And once we miss this opportunity, God knows when the next time..." Pella shook her head. crown. But three consecutive championships are not available all the time. If you miss this time, no one knows if the Grizzlies have a chance.
Link shook the glass in his hand, and he became serious.
After three consecutive championships, Link was actually very relaxed. But if you ask him if he is satisfied, he will definitely answer no!
As a professional player, and now a professional player whose goal is to surpass the greatest player in history, Link will definitely not think he won too much championship.
But no team in the NBA can win four consecutive championships, and there is a reason. Almost all teams after three consecutive championships will be like the Grizzlies, due to various reasons leading to a decline in strength.
Under current NBA operating rules, this is a reincarnation that all teams can't hide.
It’s impossible to replicate the myth that the Celtics in ancient times did not fall for 8 years. It is impossible to replicate it~EbookFREE.me~ If you want to win a championship in the NBA, you only need to play two rounds. One round of the Eastern Conference, the second round of the finals.
8 consecutive championships, but only won 16 rounds. Moreover, there is no need to play so many games in one round.
But the Grizzlies have won 12 rounds in their three consecutive championships.
The competitiveness of the alliance at that time is completely incomparable with the present.
Three consecutive championships is the highest limit for all teams in this era.
It is almost impossible to break this upper limit.
But precisely because of the difficulty, it seems precious.
Link shrugged, "We are not without opportunities this year, but it is very difficult. Moreover, even if we miss this year, we still have another chance."
"Next time? To have the next chance, we must establish another three-time dynasty!"
"Yes, I know. But... after all, no one has done it, right? Anyway, don't be so frustrated. For us, a short low is not necessarily the end."
At this time, Rachel returned from the bathroom. The two men smiled again and did not continue to talk about work.
After returning home that night, Pella stayed up all night.
Indeed, this golden age of the Grizzlies is likely to stop here.
But maybe it won’t be long before another golden age will be established again.
Link's ambition...far more terrifying than Pella imagined.
