Thinking back to yesterday's championship parade, Link felt like a dream.

The championship parade began on the fourth day after the Grizzlies players returned to Memphis, and the open-top double-decker buses dedicated to the celebration parade shuttled through the streets of Memphis.

There were even a lot of out-of-state Tennessee fans who came to Memphis just to catch a glimpse of the championship parade.

By this time, the championship parade had become an icon of Memphis, as desirable as the Mardi Gras in New Orleans.

The buses were accompanied by numerous mounted police officers and several police cars, which were the pride of the city of Memphis and the presence of police cars for the Grizzlies was standard.

Holding the O'Brien Cup, the Defensive Player of the Year trophy, the regular season MVP trophy and the FMVP trophy, Link stood at the front of the lead car and waved to the fans lining the street.

Fans wearing dark blue Grizzlies jerseys or championship commemorative T-shirts crowded the streets, waving arms and flags in cheers and salutes to the players on board.

As far as the eye can see, it's all dark blue! Again, the streets of Memphis are empty!

The bus moves very slowly, as if it is squirming in the crowded streets.

But no one is slow, both the fans and the players, they want to spend a little more time with each other.

Fans shouted the name of every Grizzlies player, and those who were called would wave at everyone and get even louder cheers.

When the convoy finally arrived at the City Hall, there was even a star show.

But no matter how big those stars are, they are not the protagonists today. There's no doubt that the Memphis Grizzlies are the real focus.

Last year, the Grizzlies won the championship, and only the mayor of Memphis was in attendance. And this year, the Governor of Tennessee, as well as many lawmakers, attended the final ceremony.

It can be seen that the influence of the Grizzlies winning the championship this time has completely transcended the boundaries of sports.

Finally, in his speech in front of City Hall, Link shouted to thousands of fans once again what he had said to reporters, "We're not the Lakers, we're not the Celtics." We're nothing, we're just the Memphis Grizzlies and just want to make our way in the league. Today we have only reached a node, and the road is far from the end! ”

As Link finished speaking, the entire city shouted after him.

What is a glorious moment? Link thought that was it.

"What are you smiling at? Still thinking about yesterday's championship parade? In Link's arms, Rachel reached out and shook it in front of the smirking Link's eyes.

When Rachel arrived in Memphis, she stayed at Link's house. Both of them finally ushered in the holiday, so they naturally had to seize the opportunity to stay together.

At this point, they were snuggling up on the couch, watching a televised replay of yesterday's championship parade. As a result, Link began to giggle as he looked at it.

"Hehe, yesterday's scene, even if it is another ten years, I will often think about it."

"In another 10 years, God knows how many championship parades you've been to. Let's go change your clothes, it's not too early, aren't you going to the training gym today? With that, Rachel got up from the couch and helped Link pick out his clothes.

"Hmm...... There's another show to watch this afternoon. Link touched his chin and looked forward to the afternoon after the championship parade.

It stands to reason that the players have already started to take a break now, and they can already enjoy their holidays with relative impunity. Early this morning, Randolph had already flown to Hawaii to enjoy the waves and sand.

But Link has no plans to leave, and until the end of June, Link will not leave Memphis for the time being.

First, Link has to be involved in the Grizzlies' draft this year. Although the Grizzlies don't have a first-round pick this year, Link still values this year's draft.

As a "person who has come over", he is well aware that there were several noteworthy second-round shows in 14 years. So this afternoon, Link went to the gym to watch a couple of rookies who came to Memphis for a tryout.

And after the draft, Link himself had to start signing with the Grizzlies. Although he and Pera have nothing to talk about, it is more polite to be present in person for this kind of formal signing.

In the end, Link still has to spend time with his manager, Jeff. Austin makes plans for this summer.

As his influence expands, Link's business activities will certainly become more intensive and varied. Balancing training, business and rest time is not an easy task.

By the time this is over, it will definitely be the end of June. So for Link, he's on "half-leave" at best.

Link was thinking about it when Rachel took two sets of clothes from the second-floor bedroom and walked out of the living room, "Which one do you want to wear?" ”

"Uh...... The one on the left. ”

"Well, put it on, and then go wash your face so that no one else will notice the lipstick marks on your face. We're not going to eat out today, I'll show you a hand at home. So, when it's over, you can come back directly. ”

"Oh...... Oh......" Link suddenly felt extremely comfortable, there was a woman by his side, and his quality of life had really improved in a straight line.

At least tonight, he won't have to eat boiled chicken breasts that taste like chewing wax.

Link happily went out, and when the vehicle drove outside the Federal Express Arena, he also saw a lot of tourists gathered in the plaza outside.

Today, Federal Express Arena is one of Memphis' most popular tourist attractions.

I think about how lonely this place was when there were no games before. But what about now? The square is full of people!

Although the arena is still the same arena now, nothing has changed. But the Memphis Grizzlies are not the same team they used to be.

The team is like the soul of a arena, and without the Lakers, Staples would never be called a basketball temple. Without the Celtics, the North Shore Gardens would never have been favored by so many fans. After the United Center loses Jordan, won't it lose its original pomp?

In the past, no matter how much people advertised the Federal Express Arena as the most literary arena in the NBA, people were not interested.

But now, when the soul of this arena is sublimated, it has instantly become extremely popular.

Link laughed proudly, wishing he could turn this place into another basketball mecca.

After parking the car, Link couldn't wait to walk into the training gym.

By the time he opened the door to the gym, several rookies who had come to try out were already warming up. And the training ground was also full of trainers, and the whole scene was not lively.

Since the Grizzlies only have second-round picks this year, they are all rookies who are predicting to drop out of the second round.

Unlike high-pick rookies, high-pick rookies selectively participate in tryouts in order to maintain a sense of mystery or to show favor to a certain team. Their "drag" has existed since before entering the alliance.

The second round is different, in order to be selected, they have to show themselves as much as possible. Therefore, almost no one refuses to come to the trial invitation.

So today, the Grizzlies have a very large number of people gathered on their training ground.

"Coming? The tryout is about to begin, and the people you suggested we were looking for are all here. "Seeing Link on the training ground, Grizzlies general manager Chris Brown. Wallace came up to greet him warmly.

Head Coach Dave. Jogel and assistant coach Quinn. Snyder waved at Link as well.

Link glanced at the training ground and saw that many of the faces were very unfamiliar to him. After all, the probability of the second-round show surviving the league in the end is very low, and although Link is a "person who has come over", he also has no impression of many second-round shows.

But among most unfamiliar faces, Link still found a few "old acquaintances".

Jokic, who has no muscle lines at all, is running to warm up, and Joe, who has not yet grown a beard. Harris is trying to shoot from beyond the three-point line. Jordan, who has dual citizenship of the United States and the Philippines. Clarkson, who showed his ability to run and jump.

In addition, Link also recognized Jeramy. Grant, K.J. McDaniels, Spencer Dinwiddie, and others.

These guys are all the best in the second-round show. It's not often that you can gather so many second-round shows in a year.

That's why Link is very concerned about this year's draft. When done right, the Grizzlies can get the most out of it at the lowest cost.

"Nikolai. Jokic, Plank ...... 20 seconds! At this time, a shout from the trainer made the air freeze instantly.
