Reverse Growth Superstar
: Five hundred and seventy-seven: Not as smooth as it seems
/
Zach! we won! Damn, what are you doing! ? We **** won! "Link thought Randolph would give himself a big bear hug.
However, the unruly "social man" was unexpectedly calm at this time.
"Damn it, the wind is too strong, and the sand is in the eyes." Randolph said, touching the corners of his eyes secretly.
"Fuck, if you don't have any education, don't make it so slick. This is an indoor court. Where does the wind come from!" Although Link was swearing, he went up and patted Randolph on the shoulder.
Link can probably understand the mood of the **** bear.
When he was most helpless and lonely, it was the Grizzlies who took him in. At the time, the only thing Randolph wanted was to play well in the Grizzlies and lead this team to create its own glory.
He became an All-Star here, a model representative of the prodigal son. However, where is brilliance so easy to create? The Grizzlies' record is still tepid.
Until the arrival of Link.
In the first year, they went from eighth to fifth in an unprecedented way, and eventually advanced to the Western Conference finals.
Last year, they were recognized as a strong team in the West. Any team that meets the Grizzlies, no matter whether it wins or loses, has to peel off.
But last season, the Grizzlies once again stopped in the Western Conference Finals. Moreover, Randolph's unhealthy knees also allowed him to play the worst season since the first two rookie seasons of his career.
This year, the team faces a big change. The boss has changed, the coaching staff has changed, and the core has been established as Link. And Randolph's knee, after a summer of training, also seemed to be completely new.
They devastated their opponents in the regular season, Randolph won one double-double. In the playoffs, Randolph did not flinch from Griffin and others who were younger and stronger than him.
For what? It stands to reason that a player like him should have been abandoned.
He did so much to make the Grizzlies better.
Now that Randolph's persistence for so many years has suddenly ushered in success, the mood of the **** bear is naturally very complicated.
"Good job, Link, good job. We are Western Conference champions, **** it, I even find it unbelievable." After a long time, Randolph finally showed his first smile after winning the game.
"Look at you, that's all you can do! The Western Conference champions are just a stepping stone. We are going to win the O'Brien Cup this year!" Link finished, winking at several people around him.
Afterwards, everyone rushed forward, and raised Randolph's "Roshan" in a daze.
Although the championship pennant will not rise until the opening game of next season, Randolph, sitting on the shoulders of his teammates, pointed to the dome of the Federal Express Arena.
Soon, there will be no more empty space there!
After the carnival, the Grizzlies players were on the temporary podium, preparing to raise the first Western Conference championship trophy in team history!
The award ceremony of the division champions does not actually require an award ceremony. Some teams rushed to award awards at the press conference.
But since this is the first time the Grizzlies have received such an honor, it is quite formal.
In the end, the new Grizzlies owner Robert Pera took the round Western Conference trophy from the NBA official and raised it above his head.
At this time last year, he was still wondering whether to start the Grizzlies. But now, just a year later, he has become the first champion owner in the history of the Grizzlies!
After the award ceremony, everyone returned to the dressing room happily.
Since there are still finals to be played, I must not be able to play Champagne today. So in the locker room, the Grizzlies players had their "traditional" splashing battle.
After the trouble, the locker room was in a mess, and reporters were able to come in to interview.
Link took the Western Conference championship trophy and took a group photo under the lens of many media.
At the press conference, one of the most frequently asked questions by reporters was naturally, "After trying for two years, how does it feel to finally reach the top of the West this time?"
Although Link was very excited when he celebrated, his emotions have already calmed down now. He just had a faint smile on his face, and then slowly moved closer to the microphone.
"I'm very happy, but my teammates and I know that this is not the end. The Western Conference championship can't satisfy us. The championship is our ultimate goal! Whether it is the Pacers or the Miami Heat, come and let go!"
Link bluntly made his goal public. There is no such thing as a concealment. Does any team enter the finals to lose?
Raising the O'Brien Cup over his head wearing the No. 0 jersey, this image that has repeatedly appeared in Link's mind countless times, he is bound to make it a reality!
※※※
The Western Conference Finals were divided into five games, which surprised most people.
4 to 0, 4 to 0 and 4 to 1, the Grizzlies' road to the Finals is extremely strong.
On the second day after the end of the series, Link had been compared with James.
The number of 34.2 appeared in the headlines of major sports media.
Many people may not believe it. This is Link's scoring average in the 5 games of the Western Conference Finals!
Link's 50 points in that game allowed him to increase his scoring average. 34.2 points, which undoubtedly greatly exceeds Link's scoring performance in the regular season.
Link is one of those rare players who played better in the playoffs than in the regular season.
And James and his Miami Heat are fighting hard with Paul George's Pacers at this time.
There is indeed a huge gap between the performance of the two teams in the conference finals.
The Grizzlies playoffs have been smooth sailing so far ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and it seems that they are going to top the Big Three.
No, now whether the Heat can play in the finals, there is a big question mark. The strength of the Pacers has already exceeded everyone's expectations.
Not surprisingly, the Grizzlies will have many more days off this time than the Heat.
It seems that the Grizzlies are going well. But after just winning the Western Conference championship, the Grizzlies ushered in bad news.
"Andre can't participate in training? What do you mean?" On the second day after winning the Western Conference, Link learned from Georg that Iguodala would be absent from training for a few days, and he was a little surprised.
Isn't it just a slight sprain? I can't even participate in training now.
"Andre's injury is more serious than expected. These days he has to walk with crutches, let alone play basketball."
"Damn, **** Ibaka... you have to back up when you die... Then, can Andre catch up with the finals?" Link didn't over-entangle the past. , Because the past can't be changed no matter how entangled.
It's impossible to call Ibaka to come to Memphis for an appointment.
Now Link is most concerned about whether the game after Iguodala will be affected. The finals are approaching, and Link does not want to make mistakes at this time.
On the other side of the phone, Dave Georg was silent for a long time.
"At the meeting this morning, I got so much information. As I said, Andre's injury is more serious. So...whether he can play in the finals depends on when the Eastern Conference finals is over. The doctor said, Andrei has to cultivate at least days."
After listening, Link covered his forehead, and it didn't take long for him to be happy. The troubles came.
The road to the championship has never been smooth.
