Reverse Growth Superstar

Chris Wallace and Robert Pera had a very leisurely season this season, because the Grizzlies' results are really good.

　　The more a team with a poor record, the busier the general manager and team owner. Because they have to consider how to make the team strong, they have to consider summer drafts, transfers, and signing. Even the changes in the management itself must be considered.

　　The more a team with a bad record, the more such a mess. For example, the Lakers and Knicks this season, these two ancient teams have basically been obsessed with the management's own "fighting" this season, and have no intention of changing the team.

　　 So, the Lakers and Knicks both overturned this year. One has only experienced two consecutive championships in a few years and has become a Western fat belly, while the other has gone from second in the East last season to eighth in embarrassment.

　　 The Grizzlies obviously have no such troubles, because the team has good results, so everything is calm. They only need to stabilize the current lineup of the Grizzlies to ensure that the Grizzlies are still the best team in the league.

　　So that the boss, Pella, was so bored some time ago that he had to bet with Jordan to pass the time. But I didn't expect to go to the appointment with the determination to lose, but because of Link, he won a lot.

　　 This summer, the only important task for the Grizzlies is to renew Link. For now, it is only a matter of time before the renewal is successful. Link didn't want to leave Memphis, and Pella was willing to offer Link the highest price.

　　 At this point, the Grizzlies are much more worry-free than the Heat. Because of the Heat, I don’t even know if LeBron can be retained this summer.

　　 Therefore, the Grizzlies management may be one of the most leisurely management of the 30 teams this season.

　　 No matter how idle it is, it is not completely empty. As time approaches April, the ncaa game is about to come to an end. All teams have also begun to look for goals in this year's draft.

　　 The Grizzlies, as always, are unlikely to get high draft picks this year. This is a blessing, but this does not mean that the draft can be given up directly, especially when the Grizzlies have found several interesting goals.

　　 "Are there any gains?" Robert Pella saw Chris Wallace walk in and asked bluntly.

　　 The Grizzlies general manager came today to report on several potential draft goals.

　　 "There are a lot, as Link said, there are indeed many interesting players outside of ncaa." Wallace raised his report, and then sat across from Pella.

　　 "I have looked at a lot of information on international players and found that we have many good seedlings of international players available in recent years. And the most important thing is that most of them will not be selected by other teams in a better position."

　　 After listening, Pella nodded and motioned to Wallace to start reporting. If there is a team in the league that will least underestimate an international player with a draft, it must be the Memphis Grizzlies.

　　 After all, Marc Gasol, the best defensive player of last season, was only selected in the second round. Facts have proved that low-ranked international players have a strong plasticity after entering the NBA. And don't forget, Link, the current pillar of the Grizzlies, was still a draft pick.

　　 So for the Grizzlies, even a low draft pick is worthy of serious scrutiny.

　　 Wallace then opened the information and began to report to Pera.

"Nemaria Belica, currently playing for the Turkish club Fenerbahçe Urko, is now one of the most versatile players in Europe. He is hopeful of winning the European League mvp this season, with a height of 2.08 meters. However, he has the technical characteristics of a small forward. He is an all-around player with outstanding basketball IQ and a stable pitcher. You can perform pick-and-roll outside cooperation around him. His ability to understand the game helps both offensive and defensive ends. After a lot of work, he can grab most of the rebounds, and then efficiently turn them into teammates' scoring. If you train more, God knows if he will become the European version of Kevin Durant. At present, Belica's signing rights are Timberwolves are in the hands, but if they seek a deal, it won’t be too difficult."

"The other guy, Mario Hezonia, currently playing for Barcelona, ​​this kid is extremely athletic, and he has no fear. His inner arrogance is comparable to that of an American player. Of course, he is on the surface. He didn’t score too many points in the European League, but his ball-handling and shooting skills are all in the eyes. Do you know what people call him? Croatian Kobe! However, he won’t be able to participate in the draft until next year."

　　 Chris Wallace said while Robert Pella listened carefully. It stands to reason that the team owner does not need to worry about these things, the general manager can complete these tasks alone. But as a young owner, Pella is very willing to personally participate in the team building.

　　 Wallace talked about several people, what the European durant, Croatian Kobe, these bluffing names, also made Pella stunned.

"The last player, Nikola Jokic, is currently playing in the Italian league. As a big man, this guy's passing talent, sense of position and sense of the ball are unparalleled. For his age, this seems Especially important. But he looks...to be honest, similar to Marc Gasol. He doesn’t look too fat like a professional player. His athletic ability may not be able to adapt to NBA games. ."

　　Wallace didn't want to add Jokic to the watch list, because in this era when the rhythm is getting faster and faster, the center has to follow the smaller men. A "large fortress" like Jokic is really outdated.

　　 But adhering to the principle of "don't miss any possibility", Wallace finally decided to add Jokic.

　　 As everyone knows, after listening to Jokic's report, Robert Pera frowned, "Nikola Jokic? I seem to have heard Link mention that guy."

"Really? Link also watches the Italian league? I thought he paid more attention to ncaa. Speaking of ncaa, it was a big upset last night. Kansas, who owns Wiggins and Embiid, lost to the No. 10 seed. Stanford University, this game, it is estimated that many people have lost money."

　　 "Yes, but this is the charm of March Madness." Pella smiled, and sure enough, ncaa is more likely to evoke common topics.

　　※※※

　　 When Randolph came to the training hall in the morning, it was as if he had lost the game last night.

　　 He closed his face, and wrote all his unhappy emotions on his face. Although he was not the one who lost yesterday, he lost thousands of dollars.

　　 Except for Randolph, most of the Grizzlies also lost money. And Link and Nick Young became the biggest winners of this game.

　　 Link was also very speechless when he learned the result of the game the next day. He was just buying randomly, and he could really win... March Madness, really crazy. Inadvertently, Link earned tens of thousands of dollars overnight.

　　 "Link, you must have studied the game secretly! Although on the surface you are indifferent to this game, but you must have studied it for a long time, right!? Otherwise, you won't buy that accurately!"

　　 Facing Randolph's accusation ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Link is quite innocent. There are only two teams, with a 50% chance, it is normal to guess.

"Well, is it so difficult to admit that you are bad luck? Don't be downhearted. It's Kansas and not you. Tonight, I will let you win it back." Link patted Randolph on the shoulder, luck It's bad. Drinking cold water makes your teeth stuffy, it's all fate!

　　 So that night, the Grizzlies easily defeated the offending Timberwolves at home. Facing this team with a winning percentage of only 50%, the Grizzlies won without blood.

　　 Link only scored 22 points in this game, but sent out 12 assists, hitting a double-double for the seventh consecutive game. Most of the wonderful passes were given to Randolph.

Randolph played well today. Facing the unintentional defensive Love, Randolph scored a team-high 26 points, allowing Love, who only scored 16 points and shot 33%. Face sweeping.

　　 After the game, Randolph finally smiled again.

　　 "Zach, what do you think of this game? Why did you burst out without warning?" The reporters were very curious about Randolph's burst.

　　 But Randolph knew that he was able to score so many points today because Link attracted the defense and he was always able to deliver the ball accurately.

　　 So Randolph shrugged at the camera, "This is Link's great power, really. Whether it's betting or playing, Link is first-rate."

　　 64 wins and 6 losses. God knows how long the Grizzlies’ winning streak will last this time.
