Merry Christmas, Link! ”

December 24th, Christmas Eve.

Rachel lifts up the juice and clinks glasses with Link, the young couple spending Christmas together as a family for the first time.

Tomorrow is the Christmas game, and it stands to reason that the Grizzlies should go to Cleveland today to prepare for the game.

But because of the holiday, Joggle decided to let the players have a good holiday at home. Tomorrow morning, we will rush to Cleveland.

While it's good to be able to spend the holidays at home, it also means that the Grizzlies players will have a very tight preparation time tomorrow. Basically, as soon as you get off the plane, you have to go directly to the Quickloan Arena to prepare for the game.

You can't have both fish and bear's paws.

But in exchange for a chance to spend Christmas with the family, it was all worth it.

The Grizzlies have had Christmas games to play almost every season in recent seasons, and their attendance rate is more than that of the Los Angeles Lakers!

So the Grizzlies players want to spend Christmas at home, which is a complete luxury.

It's hard to have this opportunity this year, and the players can't ask for it.

Link was also very happy, not only because he was able to spend Christmas Eve in peace, but also because it was the first time he had spent Christmas in his own small family.

Although there are only two people in this small family now, Link and Rachel, it is lively enough.

"Here, this is a Christmas present for you." After drinking the juice, Link handed Rachel a small gift box.

Rachel happily opened the gift and found that the contents of the small gift box were not small at all.

Inside the gift box, there is a car key!

Rachel couldn't help but cover her mouth, surprised.

"Link, did you really buy it?"

"Of course, we still have a spare place in our garage anyway." Link smiled.

While shopping the other day, Rachel saw an advertisement for the latest Chevrolet Camaro, so she casually said that it was beautiful.

Unexpectedly, Link not only remembered it, but also bought it back.

"Thank you, Link. I've got a surprise for you too, huh...... Still, I don't know if you'll like it. ”

"Come on, I've been waiting for this surprise long enough, you shouldn't have told me there was a surprise in advance the other day."

"Uh-huh......" Rachel said, standing up and walking over to Link's side, then bringing her mouth to his ear.

On the plane to Cleveland, the Grizzlies players seemed to be still thinking about last night's Christmas Eve.

Gasol vigorously showed off the greeting cards his daughter had made for him, his face full of the old father's smile.

Carter held up the razor his daughter had given him, and felt like tears were about to fall out.

"Old Flyer" and his wife have long since divorced, and their daughter is more with her mother. As a result, Carter is in an "empty nester" state most of the time.

Carter is very pleased to receive a gift from his only daughter this year.

After a discussion, everyone turned their eyes to Link, who had not spoken.

"Link, it's the first time I've spent Christmas with Rachel as a couple, and yesterday must be unforgettable." Randolph was the first to take the lead, and although "The Big Black Bear" is now 35 years old, you can never expect him to be serious in non-game time.

"yes, yes, what did Rachel give you? It must be a very sweet gift! "Tony. Aaron took it upon himself to cooperate with Randolph.

If the Grizzlies didn't have them, there would have been a lot less laughter.

Link scratched his head in embarrassment, remembering what Rachel had whispered in his ear yesterday.

"My gift...... Something special. ”

"Oh? Could it be ***? Damn, I can't imagine that 2K goddesses still have this fetish. ”

"Can you have something normal in your head, Zach." Link gave Randolph a blank look, then took a deep breath and smiled.

"I'm going to be a dad, guys!"

While the Grizzlies players were still debating whether Link's kid should be called Lin Daxiong, LeBron . James had already walked into the quick-loan arena alone.

Time flies, and before you know it, this is James' third year back in Cleveland.

When he first returned to Cleveland, James was full of ambition. He wants to bring championships to his hometown, and there is more than one.

But now, two seasons later, the Cleveland Cavaliers still have nothing to win other than the Eastern Conference championship.

In five days, James will be 32 years old. He knew that his peak was a thing of the past.

From now on, his abilities will no longer grow savagely. Not to mention progress, he will have to spend a lot of effort even if he wants to maintain his current state in the future.

He knew that time was running out for him to challenge for the championship.

This year, the Cavaliers are in great shape, and Irving and Love are also playing their best form since the formation of the Big Three.

There is no doubt that this is the most promising year for James to lead the Cavaliers to a championship.

If you can't do it this year...... No, they have to!

James shook his head and began to warm up by shooting on the court alone.

How many years has he not won the Christmas War? James himself doesn't remember.

But this year, he's going to pay his respects to Cleveland on Christmas Eve.

No matter what, he's going to fight Link to the end today.

A few hours later, the Quickfinance Arena began to come alive.

At the junction of the underground parking lot and the players' tunnel, countless reporters crouched here, filming the Grizzlies players entering the stadium.

For NBA players, this short period of time is like walking the red carpet. Everyone will show their most glamorous side when they wear casual clothes.

But under the lens of reporters, Link ran into the players' tunnel with a brisk pace.

Most of the time, the players go through this section and want to stay in front of the camera for a little longer.

Link was okay and ran straight over, as if he was deliberately avoiding the camera!

"What is that guy doing, is he in a hurry to go to the bathroom?" The reporters who were filming were speechless, and there was only one explanation for going to the toilet.

However, there was a reason why Link was in a hurry to get back to the locker room.

The Christmas gifts he prepared for his teammates have been placed in the locker room in advance.

Lin was the first to run into the locker room, just to make sure everything was arranged.

After a while, the rest of the Grizzlies followed.

Randolph was the first to open the door, and as soon as he walked into the locker room, he saw Link standing in the middle of the locker room with his waist crossed, so the "big black bear" complained again.

"Link, what did you just run, I thought something had happened, and I ran two steps blindly with you! Damn, it's going to be a big embarrassment tomorrow. ”

Halfway through Krandolph's words, there was suddenly no sound.

After that, more and more people poured into the locker room. And they all reacted the same way as Randolph, all stupid!

I saw that at this time, every player's locker was placed on a golden championship belt!

On the belt, the words "World Champion" are also written. And on each belt, the name of the corresponding owner is engraved.

It's so well made that it looks like the gold belt of a real martial arts event.

"Link, these are ......"

"These are my Christmas presents to you this year, and I hope you all enjoy it. It's boring to give championship rings all the time, and sometimes you have to change some new tricks, and I think the belt is good. Of course, I also hope that in half a year, we will be able to stand on the real podium with this belt. So, today's finals rehearsal, everyone perform well! ”

After Link finished speaking, he also solemnly awarded the belts to his teammates one by one.

Seeing this homely scene, both Joggle and Snyder couldn't help but laugh.

Indeed, it seems childish, like the championship dream that every little boy would have.

Professional wrestling and professional boxing are both very popular sports in the United States, so many men fantasize about winning the gold belt as a child.

Today, Link has made that wish come true.

Men are sometimes so naïve, and this seemingly childish scene has undoubtedly ignited the championship hearts of everyone on the Grizzlies.

Carter, who will turn forty in a month, will take over the belt from Link, and he will smile like a little boy.

Previously, when Link was photographed choosing gifts for his teammates, he was criticized by the media for not paying enough attention to the game and not respecting the knights enough.

But in fact, Link takes this game more seriously than anyone else!

He believes that after the gift is sent, his teammates will be able to show more playfulness.

Finally, all of the Grizzlies players posed for a photo together wearing their belts.

Soon, the photo was posted on social media.

And there is no doubt that Link's arrogant behavior of privately awarding awards will be pointed at again.
