1019: Continuous good news

On July 7, just as everyone was speculating about Wade's next stop.

The Grizzlies official and Wade's social media suddenly announced at the same time that Wade entered Memphis at a price of $48 million for two years!

48 million in 2 years, which is much more decent than less than 10 million in 1 year of the Heat.

The respect Wade didn't get back from the Grizzlies.

After Wade joined, Link immediately posted a photo of himself and Wade hugging on the court on social media, and said, "Join forces!" ”

Wade was also excited, saying: "It's great to be playing alongside a great player like Link, we've always been good friends and now we can finally do something together." ”

Grizzlies fans are naturally very happy about this, indeed, Wade is past his peak, and now he is no longer in the top 10 in the league. But for the Grizzlies, it's still a very powerful reinforcement!

Surprisingly, Heat fans are not disgusted by Wade's approach.

It's true that the Grizzlies used to be the Heat's sworn enemies, but that was a few years ago.

Besides, Pat. Riley's actions also annoyed Miami fans. Although they were reluctant, they were all very supportive of Wade leaving to achieve higher value and get a higher salary.

Not every parting will make the two sides turn against each other, and when Nash left Phoenix, didn't he also get the support and blessings of the fans.

It can be said that this transfer is a joy for all. In the free agent market, it's rare to see where most people are cheering on the Grizzlies.

Are Grizzlies and Link still the villains that people hated back then? Yes and no.

Yes, because Grizzly Bear and Link still have a strong villain temperament.

No, it's because grizzlies aren't disgusting right now.

After the Warriors won the championship last season with the addition of Durant, the "villain" in the hearts of fans changed from the Grizzlies to the Warriors.

Originally, many people were looking forward to the day when the grizzly bear overturned. But when that day came, most people couldn't be happier.

After all, the approach of the Warriors and Durant really made fans very resistant.

Such a strong lineup, such a blatant huddle, such a suspense-destroying way to win the championship...... None of this is what the fans want to see.

People are more willing to watch the Grizzlies' championship path than the Warriors.

At the very least, the Grizzlies have never been a superteam.

Now, the Grizzlies finally have a big player on board, and fans are overjoyed. The 15-16 season has only just ended and is less than a month old, and fans are looking forward to next season.

Steve. Kerr was on vacation when he saw the news that Wade had signed with the Grizzlies.

Aside from feeling embarrassed, Cole didn't actually feel much.

Because he believes that even if Wade joins the Grizzlies, the Grizzlies will still have nothing to do with the Warriors.

Wade was abandoned by the Heat for a reason. Everyone knows very well that Wade's form will continue to fall next season.

On the other hand, the Warriors, whether it is Curry, Thompson, Green or Durant, they are still in the rising stage of their careers.

Link wants to rely on a "flash" who can no longer draw a "lightning" to turn over, which is simply wishful thinking.

Kerr is more concerned about Nash's situation than Wade.

He has been waiting for Nash's reply for the past two days, and as the general manager of the Suns that year, Kerr thinks he knows Nash better than any coach on the current team except for D'Antoni.

Stephen. If Curry wants to go one step further and reach the top, he can't do without Nash's help.

But to Kerr's surprise, Nash had thought about it for so many days. In Kerr's expectations, Nash should have accepted the invitation soon.

Just as he was thinking about it, Cole's phone vibrate.

Cole, who was enjoying the sun on a beach in California, picked up his phone and looked at it. Nash.

"Steve! I've been waiting for your call for a long time! Kerr is very excited, and he would love to work with Nash again.

"Haha, thank you for your patience, Cole. But first, I have to say sorry to you. ”

"Click!" Hearing this, Cole suddenly tightened his fingers and broke the temples of his sunglasses.

"What? Why are you sorry? ”

"I may not be able to accept your invitation, Cole." Nash looked out the window, and in fact, he still didn't know if he had made the right decision.

"Is it because of the Canadian national team? As I said, you can go back to work in the national team at any time, and we don't force you to follow the team every day. ”

"No, not because of this."

"What else could it be for?" Cole spread his hands.

"I ...... I want to go to another team. Nash clenched his fists, believing he must be crazy!

But then again, when did he ever be "normal" again?

Congenital spondylolisthesis, dorsal neuralgia...... These two things made him unable to get out of bed, the pain was unbearable, and he even had to lie on the sidelines to receive a massage after he had paused.

But even so, he still insisted, this is not crazy or anything.

He endured so much pain, so much suffering, so much blood and tears, didn't he just want to try it on his own?

At the end of his career, Nash actually tried to be like other veterans. Join a team that can win a championship and end the regrets of your career.

So, he chose the Los Angeles Lakers and chose to team up with Kobe Bryant and Howard, two of the best players in the league at the time.

The result?

It turns out that if you approach the championship with the mentality of "take it easy", the championship will be further and further away from you.

If you want to be a champion, you can only fight!

"I don't understand, Steve. Other teams? What do you mean? Cole was silent for a long time before he spoke.

"To tell you the truth, Cole, Link and Robert. Pera came to me, and they wanted me to join the Memphis Grizzlies. ”

"What!?" Kerr was taken aback, he thought that only the Warriors had ever touched Nash, "You promised them?" ”

"Not yet, but ...... Come on. I want to go there and see how much strength I have. Haha, I know, that's not what someone my age should say. But...... How do you know if you don't try? ”

Cole was stupid, and in an instant, the California sun was no longer so bright, and the beach in front of him was no longer so beautiful.

Wade's joining the Grizzlies didn't cause the slightest stir in Kerr's heart.

But Nash joins the Grizzlies...... This made Cole a little uncomfortable.

The Memphis Grizzlies have a lot of firepower this summer, and the operations are coming one after another.

All of these things speak volumes about one thing - the Memphis want to make a comeback!

They want to bring down the Warriors, they want to get back what belongs to them, they want to be on top of the league again!

And they can't wait, they're going to do it next season!

"Cole? Cole? Seeing that Cole didn't respond for a long time, Nash shouted from the other end.

"Hmm...... I see, Steve. Good luck, then, and may you find everything you're looking for in Memphis. ”

Cole finished and hung up.

The Memphis Grizzlies' three-game winning streak had just been ended, and they couldn't wait to get back to the throne, as if they didn't have the Warriors in mind.

"Look down on people less!" Cole couldn't help but pat his deputy on the recliner and yelled.

Michael. After Jordan won three consecutive championships, it took two years to lead the Chicago Bulls back to the top.

The Grizzlies can't wait for only a year, and who does Link think he is?

He really thinks he's able to surpass Michael. Jordan?

Kerr was furious, and he had a feeling of being slighted, even though he had only been leading the team to a championship for a short time. But at this point, Kerr can't wait to defeat the Grizzlies one more time.

Any member of the Memphis Grizzlies is now his enemy.

Including Steve. Nash!

Kerr isn't going to let the Grizzlies end the era of the Warriors easily, and the Memphis should get used to losing.

Just as Cole was getting angry, Link received a call from Nash.

As soon as he came up, Nash threw up a question that made Link's eyebrows flutter.

"When is your bootcamp going to start this summer?"
