Reverse Growth Superstar

The news that Link announced his retirement made the already high-profile new season even more popular.

Because if Link doesn't change his mind, then next season will be the last year for fans to watch Link's performance.

No one is willing to miss Link's final season. Of course, fans of other championship teams do not want to miss their last chance to beat Link.

When Link went to the Federal Express Arena for training the next morning, he found that a large number of fans and reporters still gathered at the entrance of the stadium.

So he stopped the car very rarely and walked to the crowd gathered outside the stadium.

The fans became extremely excited when they saw Link. The cameras in the reporters' hands flashed suddenly, and there was a commotion outside the Federal Express Arena early in the morning.

"Link, stay, we can't bear you!"

"Yeah, let's play for a few more years, we all know you can do it!"

"Don't go Link, we need you!"

Fans gathered around Link, and the security personnel in the Federal Express Arena had to rush out.

But Link stopped the security guard's plan to separate the crowd. He stood in the middle of the crowd and motioned for all the fans to quiet down and listen to him.

"If you really love me, let me live the life I want. Don't worry, I won't leave any regrets for you in the last season. So, let's go away. Waiting for the game day, everyone will come to the party again!"

After Link finished speaking, he left the crowd.

The fans froze in place, and after a few minutes, they dispersed voluntarily.

Yes, if you really love him, you should support him to pursue the life you want.

Link has done enough for Memphis, and it is very selfish to force him to stay.

After all, Link is not anyone's personal property.

The security guards looked at the fans who had dispersed, and looked at each other.

Last night, they used their trumpets to persuade them all night, but they were totally useless.

Link was good, and the crowd was settled in a few words.

This is probably Link's influence and charm.

All Memphis people respect Link and are willing to listen to him.

Link walked into the arena, and many of the coaching staff also looked at Link with shock.

When he stepped into the training hall, Conley and Gasol immediately got together.

"Are you serious? Are you really going to retire after this season? Tell me Link, you must have teased the reporters, right?" Gasol's tone was very anxious.

Not only journalists and fans, but even their old partners of Link are not mentally prepared to accept Link's retirement.

"I'm sorry to tell you so late, man, I just don't want to cause unnecessary trouble. But it's true, this is my last season."

Link looked at the training hall, where many people had come and went.

Unexpectedly, now it's my turn.

Facts have proved that Link's choice to announce his retirement at this time is correct.

Because Dinwiddie and they both sent text messages yesterday that if they knew this was the last season of Link, they would not leave.

But obviously, they won't get those big contracts.

Link does not think that retirement is a farewell, after all, everyone can meet outside the basketball court.

Overall, Link didn't want to make retirement too sad.

Therefore, he always understates everything in his mouth.

But in fact, Link felt better than anyone else.

"Hey, I didn't expect you to leave earlier than us. In that case, we can't lose in the new season. Link's last season must be the most perfect ending." Conley had a bunch of words. I wanted to say, but seeing that Link had decided to leave, I didn't want to persuade him any more.

Link has one characteristic that Conley likes most over the years, and that is tolerance.

That's right, Link is an "every evil" bastard. He will not let go of any reporter who speaks wildly, nor will he be kind to any opponent.

At first glance, Link can't get along with "Tolerance" Baganzi.

However, you have never heard that Link turned against him because of the departure of a certain teammate.

You have never heard of Link having a conflict with a teammate.

This is his tolerant side.

Durant left the Thunder, leaving Westbrook and Durant in a cold war for a while.

Ray Allen went to the Heat, and until now, KG and Pierce have had a bad relationship with him.

But every time someone wants to leave the Grizzlies, Link will not stop him. On the contrary, he is also very supportive of his teammates to develop better places.

Is the atmosphere in the dressing room of the Grizzlies so good because everyone has no faults?

No, it's because Link can accept everyone's shortcomings and knead everyone together.

All these are what Conley learned from Link.

Now, since Link also has his own choice, Conley will not stop it.

Everyone has the right to choose their own life, including Link.

"Don't go, I really can't bear you." At this moment, a nasty voice came from behind Link.

The next second, a pair of fat arms wrapped Link from behind.

Link felt a lump of fat sticking to his back, instantly making Link feel greasy.

"Nikola, why are you getting fat again!?" Link knew that it was Jokic without looking back.

The entire Grizzlies team can never find a second fatter than Jokic!

As the boss, Pella is not fat, general manager Chris Wallace is not fat, head coach and assistant coaches Georgel and Schneider are not fat.

Jokic is the only fat guy in the Federal Express Arena!

"Hey, then I can’t say anything else, don’t worry, I have already given up Coke a week in advance. Okay, I actually drank a bottle of Coke yesterday. But I promise, I won’t have a bottle of Coke from today onwards. I will touch it."

Jokic let go of Link, and he saluted Link with an expression of "rest assured, I promise not to drink."

Link curled his lips and handed the Grizzlies to this teaser. He was really a little worried...

Seeing everyone else in the training hall waiting for him, Link did not continue to chat.

He clapped his hands and gathered everyone's eyes on himself.

"I know this is a bit sudden for everyone, but I don't want this to affect our preparations. Listen, I am not asking everyone to be the foil for the retirement tour, I am asking everyone to help me The championship! So, get your energy up. It doesn't matter whether I retire next season, what matters is that we have to win!"

After Link finished speaking, he looked at the fake championship pennant hanging on the wall of the training ground of the Federal Express Arena.

"Look, look around here, this is what I laid down in the past! And this is the only purpose for our group of people to gather here! So, come on, guys! The road to four consecutive championships starts today. Up!"

"Roar!" Everyone yelled in response to Link, including five new aids from Howard, Ross, Jie Michael Green and Morris.

It seems that their integration into this championship team is still very fast.

But after scanning the training hall, Link found that there seemed to be something missing.

So, after the training began, Link approached Georgel.

"Where is Dillon?" Link pointed to Dillon, the second-round rookie selected by the Grizzlies in 2017, Dillon Brooks.

Due to injuries last season, Dillon Brooks only played 18 games before being reimbursed.

Originally only played 18 games, plus he was only a second-round pick, so unless it is a diehard Grizzlies fan, otherwise not many people know this inexistent guy.

However, Link was very impressed with Dillon Brooks, because the past performance of this second-round show was beyond Link's expectations.

In his rookie season, Dillon Brooks averaged 9.8 points per game. And, the three-point shot percentage is 35.6%.

It's not too much to adapt to the second round of the NBA three-point line so quickly in the rookie season. And the scoring average is almost in double digits, which is very rare for a second-round pick.

In addition to scoring ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Brooks is also quite desperate on the defensive end. His one-on-one defensive pace is very good, and he will hardly be easily passed by top singles. And the body is very tough, although the arm span is insufficient, but the fight is fierce.

As a "comer", Link had no impression of this young man. But in Dillon Brooks, Link saw full potential.

Indeed, he may not be a star player. But in Link's view, he is definitely an excellent forward swingman, a very valuable 3D player.

Therefore, Link has been looking forward to this young man's comeback. He wanted to see how far that guy would grow.

"Ti Long? He just went to change clothes."

"Change clothes? He's late? Why are you going to change clothes now?" Link was a little surprised. In his impression, Dillon Brooks is a guy who takes training extremely seriously.

"No, he came very early. The training suit is already soaked. So, he just went to the locker room to prepare for a new training suit." Georgel said, spreading his hands, "It seems that we are again There is a new arena rat."
