: 133: The Neglected Role

The Grizzlies defeated the Spurs and the Kings back-to-back, making Hubby Brown's concept of "honing and strangling" quickly became popular throughout the league.
So that when Link watched the news the next day, whether it was news websites, TV news or newspapers, the group of words GritandGrind was listed impressively.
"The dark blue uniforms of the Grizzlies make them look like a group of villains, and the defensive style makes them more like a group of villains. But now, we have a better word to describe the Grizzlies than a villain-honing And strangling!"
"I must admit that the Memphis Grizzlies finally found their right path. But there is no doubt that Rudy Gay and O.J. Mayo will be quite embarrassing."
"Link has become the Grizzlies' number one training target, and he really fits Hollins' system better. I think this year, the Rockets may have difficulty catching up with the Memphis."
Looking at these reports, Link took a comforting trip to the sofa, feeling extremely comfortable. I don't know when, as long as there is positive news about the Grizzlies, Link will be happy for a while. Maybe that's how it feels to really fit into a team.
Today, the Grizzlies do not need to train after playing back-to-back games. Hollins gave the players a day off, so that everyone who just finished back-to-back can relax and relax and save some energy for the last one and a half months of the regular season.
Just a few days ago, Rudy Gay had decided to use surgery to treat his shoulder injury. This also means that the Grizzlies have already had two players reimbursed this year. One Guy, one Xavier Henry.
In order to prevent a similar situation from happening again, Hollins really dare not engage in high-intensity training. If anyone on the Grizzlies gets injured, he won't be available in the playoffs.
Hollins arranged for the team to rest, which also means that on the last day of February, Link can easily spend it.
Link actually wanted to go to the training hall for training today, because seeing the white strips has been filled more and more full, Link was itchy.
But that day, Randolph said it was OK to invite everyone to play at home. Link couldn't make an appointment, so he would take a day off.
At noon, Link decided to drive down the street to buy some things. Usually Link lives alone and has no female companions. Therefore, apart from the most basic furniture and food, there is nothing at home.
No playing cards, no snacks, no food other than chicken breast and cabbage. for drink? Only water.
When the teammates come to the house, there is no way a group of big masters can sit together and chat with boiled water.
Although Randolph had come to the party for a shame, Link did not dislike such an event. Apart from the basketball court, a group of young people are on their way to the basketball court every day, and their lives are quite boring. It's good to think about it occasionally to adjust team life.
Going to the supermarket to buy some snacks, juice, poker and convenience food, Link quickly drove home. Everyone had an appointment to arrive at five o'clock in the afternoon, but Link estimated that people might not be there at six based on their urinary sex.
However, what Link never expected was that as soon as five o'clock arrived, his doorbell was rang.
Link was still wondering who was so punctual, but when he walked to the door and saw Mike Conley, Link felt excusable again.
Conley has always been the most decent player in the Grizzlies "villain team". He is humble, mature, and courteous. Such players seem to be more suitable for playing in places like San Antonio.
This actually has a lot to do with Conley's background. Most NBA players grew up in a very bad childhood. Randolph was too poor to buy jeans when he was a child, so he could only steal them. Tony Allen grew up in a slum in Chicago, and many of his friends from his childhood are now in prison.
Conley is different, he came from a sports family. His father, Mike Conley I, is a triple jumper who won the silver medal in the men's triple jump in the 1984 Olympics and the gold medal in the men's triple jump in the 1992 Olympics.
Conley's biggest hobby is playing the piano, and the price of a piano is enough for a black child in a slum to eat for a whole year.
Therefore, the education Conley received from an early age did not allow him to be late. So as soon as five o'clock arrived, Conley appeared at the door of Link's house.
"Mike, come in and sit down! Didn't Zach come with you?"
"Zac may have to wait a while. When I called him, he said he just woke up, haha." Conley waved his hand and walked into the house.
Americans are not as restrictive as the Chinese to visit other people's homes. They will really treat your house as their own. Pick up snacks and eat, and sit casually when you see the sofa. Video game consoles and so on are just picked up and played.
But Conley didn't. He was just sitting restrained on the sofa. Link has some doubts, whether that guy also has a Chinese soul in his body... Link and Conley are sitting like this, and they even feel a little embarrassed...
Fortunately, after a while, others arrived one after another, everyone had to talk, the embarrassing immersion finally dissipated.
Many people came to Link's house today, and most of the Grizzlies players have basically arrived. Of course, Randolph, Gasol, Tony Allen, etc., needless to say, their relationship with Link is pretty good. Although Battier did not come, they stayed at home to accompany his wife and children. Good men’s weekends are so boring sometimes.
In addition, Mayo, Sam Young and others came here, and the relationship between these two guys and Link is not good, and even a little hostile. But as soon as I heard that there was a card game, I ran over to communicate with my teammates.
Old Hei’s brain circuit Link really didn’t understand. Tony Allen and Mayo were so stiff last time, but Mayo ran over as if nothing happened.
But that doesn't matter, as long as Mayo stops playing and babbles yao here, he can do whatever he wants.
Chatting, playing games, playing cards...The rest days of NBA players are actually very simple, but after eating a bunch of convenience foods he bought, Link still feels that the Grizzlies are a bit like Iba. A chef teammate like Ka.
If there were people like Ibaka, Link and the others would be feasted today. Well, as long as he doesn't move, he can cook cow whip.
At night, Link felt a little sultry and went to the yard to get some breath. After I went out, I realized that I was not the only one who felt bored. Because in the yard, he found Conley looking up at the stars.
"Mike, don't you go to play cards?" Link yelled at him, and Conley showed a friendly smile when he turned his head.
"I actually don't like playing cards very much. Just because they sent someone, I went to play for a while."
"I thought I was the only player on the Grizzlies who didn't like to play cards. By the way, Mike, the Spurs game was lost to you. If it weren't for your final key three-pointer, we wouldn't really be able to win. "Link found that he and Conley only talked about the game together, talking about the piano? Link didn't understand either.
Still suffered from cultural losses.
"Thank you? Hahahahaha, so I have to thank you for your pass. We are all for the team, there is nothing to thank you."
"You are always so humble, Mike~EbookFREE.me~ but the truth is, we couldn't have gone so far without you." Link was propped on the fence of the yard. Although it was February, the weather tonight Not cold.
Conley looked at Link, as if surprised. After a long time, he finally said, "Thank you."
"You just said that you don't have to say thank you between us."
"It's just... that's never been said to me. You know, I am the son of an Olympic champion. So since I was a child, my father's aura has been shrouded in my head. And when I was in high school, I was in Lawrence High School, The top card on the team was the top center Greg Oden who was jealous of God. After that, he joined Ohio State University at the same time as me, and I was still his deputy. People said that my draft was too high because of K Rees Paul was only selected with the fourth overall pick. It seems that in people’s eyes, I will always be a supporting role, an irrelevant role, an overrated player, and a role under the aura of others."
Link didn't expect Conley to say so much to him suddenly, but in that case, Link was also willing to be a loyal listener, so he didn't interrupt Conley.
"In the eyes of most people, I am an irrelevant role. And you are the first person to say to me,'We can't do without you.' Thank you for your affirmation, Link, this is very important to me. ."
For some reason, Link suddenly felt that he and Conley were getting closer. So sometimes, sincere praise can really earn trust between people.
"I'm just telling the truth, Mike."
Link patted Conley on the shoulder, and the two returned to the house at the same time.
It seems that holding a team gathering occasionally can also bring a lot of gains. Knowing more about your teammates is always good.
