: 908: Zach and Link who disappeared again

After playing in Brooklyn, the Memphis Grizzlies marched toward Portland non-stop.
This season, the Grizzlies' back-to-back fighting frequency is not higher than in previous years, but consecutive away games are exceptionally high.
Just after playing the Nets in New York, he immediately turned his gun to Oregon.
Grizzlies vs. Trail Blazers, first in the West vs. third in the West. Such a duel naturally attracted the attention of many fans and the media.
Although the Trail Blazers' record of no more than double-digit losses has been broken, they are still one of the most powerful teams in the West.
There are not many teams that can cause trouble to the Grizzlies, and the Blazers are considered one of them.
The Portland International Airport was crowded with people, and the Grizzlies players would cause a lot of commotion no matter where they went.
After seeing the Grizzlies players, the outside of the airport suddenly became shining.
Although the Grizzlies have just finished the game with the Nets, they seem to be in good spirits.
Iguodala, Jimmy Butler, Conley, Gasol Jr., Tobias Harris, Tony Allen, Vince Carter, Delavidova and others appeared one by one and stepped onto the ball. Team bus.
The reporters are still aiming their cameras at the airport exit, and the Grizzlies still have two heavyweights who have not appeared!
As a result, there was no one behind except for head coach Dave Georg.
After the press conference last night, the reporters were again confused.
Why there is no Link and Randolph!
Forget it if they don't participate in the press conference. Could they just not come to the game?
"Wait, Coach Dave, where are Link and Randolph!?"
The reporters immediately surrounded Georgel, and the stable order on the scene was completely disrupted.
Georgel seemed to have expected such a scene long ago, so when surrounded by reporters, he was very calm.
"Link and Zach are going back to Memphis to handle some personal matters, so they didn't come with us. But don't worry, I guarantee Link and Zach can catch up with the Trail Blazers tomorrow night."
Georgel finished his answer lightly, nodded, and pushed the crowd away and stepped onto the bus.
The reporters froze in place, Randolph and Link dealing with private affairs?
Combined with Randolph's recent poor performance and Link's previous expectations of Randolph, the reporters couldn't help but think about it.
Could it be the conflict between Link and Randolph?
As we all know, Link is a competitive person, just like Jordan and Kobe. And people like them, the most unbearable are their teammates who are passive and sabotaged on the court.
They are not only strict with themselves, but also with their teammates.
They work very the court and require their teammates to work hard like them.
Randolph's slow performance in everything these days is obviously not satisfactory to Link.
In this way, just two hours after the Grizzlies players arrived in Portland, rumors arose on the Internet.
"Zach Randolph is afraid of being traded? He did not arrive in Portland with the team!"
"Internal news: Link is forcing management to deal with Zach Randolph, so he will not participate in the game against the Trail Blazers."
"The defending champion will disintegrate from within? There seems to be a contradiction in the Grizzlies locker room."
"Brotherhood is officially broken! Link and Randolph are about to part ways!"
It is now mid-January, which was the peak of mid-season trading. And Randolph has always been a frequent visitor in mid-term trading rumors. Almost every year, he is included in the list of "suspected to be traded" by the media.
But this time, the news seemed particularly real. Before a player is traded, there will be various abnormal behaviors.
In the afternoon, the rumors began to intensify.
A Nets team told reporters that after the Battle of Brooklyn, Link and Randolph were suspected of having a heated argument in the bus.
People reiterated the fact that both of them were absent from the press conference yesterday, and they felt a little strange.
NBA rumors are sometimes so "no-brainer" to spread.
In the imagination of fans and reporters, Randolph and Link are now at home desperately waiting for a deal.
But in reality, Randolph and Link are standing together and staying in the same room.
At this time, in a hospital in Memphis, the two talked and laughed, not like the "enemies" in the media, and naturally there was no discord.
On the hospital bed in front of Link and Randolph, there was a black woman half-lying.
Although she was sick in bed, she had a smile on her face and seemed to get along well with the two young people.
"...Okay, mother, don't explode the embarrassment of my childhood. Link, everything you heard tonight, you have not heard it after you got out of this door, understand!?" Randolph His eyes widened.
The woman half-lying on the hospital bed is Zach Randolph's mother, Mey Randolph, who was admitted to the hospital because of a heart attack a few days ago.
And this is exactly the reason why Randolph has lost his mind recently.
Like most black children in slums, Randolph has been dependent on his mother since childhood.
Without a father, Mei Ai raised her four children on her own with government relief funds and hardworking hands.
Although Randolph has gone through many detours, May Ai still has a lot of positive influence on Randolph.
He chose to marry his girlfriend the summer before last, hoping that his women and children would not have to repeat the old path he had done.
He knows better than anyone how difficult it is for a woman to raise a child alone, and he does not want his child to have no father since childhood.
Randolph's relationship with his mother is very good. He knows very well that without the hard work of this woman, he might have gone on the streets in high school.
For Randolph, May Ai is undoubtedly one of the most important people in his heart.
Therefore, Randolph has been very anxious after May Ai was hospitalized for a heart attack. Because this sudden heart attack was so serious, it almost killed Mei Ai.
After learning about it on the bus yesterday, Link decided to return to Memphis with Randolph to visit May Ai.
Therefore, neither he nor Randolph appeared in Portland today.
While chatting just now, Mei Ai shook a lot of Randolph's childhood embarrassment.
Generally speaking, mothers are with their children whom they haven't seen for a long time, and they like to talk about the children's childhood.
Even if her child has become a mature man, she will always be the little mischief in her eyes.
"Hahahaha, Link, don’t be afraid of him. After I’m discharged from the hospital, you will come to our house often. I still have a lot of things he didn’t tell you. The blueberry pie I made is very delicious. I like it. We can eat and talk." Mei Ai ignored Randolph's "threat". With Link as an audience, she was always happy.
"Okay, Mei Ai. But you have to take a good rest, the doctor said you should go to bed early now. You recover as soon as possible, and I can also eat your own blueberry pie as soon as possible." Link pointed to the wall. At this time, it is ten o'clock in the evening.
"Okay, Zach, go ask the nurse to take the blood pressure for me, and I should rest after the test." Mei Ai nodded and said to Randolph.
"Don't you just press the bell on the bedside?" Randolph said, and was about to get up to ring the bell, but Mei Ai stopped it in time.
"This bell doesn't work sometimes. It's safer to go to the nurse's station and call it yourself."
Seeing his mother's persistence, Randolph could only be obedient.
After the "Big Black Bear" turned and walked out of the ward, Mei Ai's eyes fell on Link.
Link understood in an instant, Mei Ai had just spent Randolph on purpose.
"Link, thank you very much for coming with Zac to see me. Recently, he has caused you a lot of trouble..."
"How come? Zach is no longer in trouble."
"Don't lie to me. I watch sports news every day. Don't think I'm an old lady who doesn't know anything. Zach is a good boy. He may have done something wrong, but that was before. I don't want to. ...I don’t want to see the media talking about him like that. You are the leader of the team, Link. Tell Zach, don’t worry about me and play well. Although the reporters attacked him, everything seemed like It's a sharp knife that pierced into my heart. Please, Link, cheer up Zach."
Link nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, Mei Ai, Zach is very strong. He will recover quickly, and you have to actively cooperate with the treatment to get back to health as soon as possible. I promise that Zach will quickly clear up the misunderstanding."
When the two said this, Randolph took the nurse into the ward~EbookFREE.me~ After taking the blood pressure, May Ai started to rest, and Link and Randolph also left the hospital.
Early the next morning, they had to catch the plane to Portland.
The two went downstairs to the hospital and stood for a while in the January cold wind.
Several taxis passed by, but neither Link nor Randolph stopped. They are like two human statues, but they are not complete.
"Otherwise... shall we go? It's strangely cold." Link rubbed his hands and breathed inward.
Randolph hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded slightly.
The night in Memphis is very quiet, terribly quiet, and always feels unsafe.
But sometimes, this peaceful night is also very suitable for trouble-shooting...
