In mid-September, the summer has ended, and the stars have posted photos of their training on social media.

At this time, everyone is starting to prepare for the regular season of the new season in a month and a half.

However, while the rest of the league was training hard, ESPN made a big hit.

Link will take all of his Grizzlies teammates and coaches with him for a week-long trip to Hawaii.

This news surprised everyone very much, seeing that the new season is about to start, the Grizzlies do not hurry up to practice, but the whole team goes up to "team building"?

What's going on!?

The incomprehension of the outside world was completely expected by Link.

After all, they don't know that most of the Grizzlies players have been training themselves since August.

While other stars are fishing, attending business events, and having yacht parties with beautiful women, the Grizzlies players are training.

Now, while others are taking to social media to post workout photos, the Grizzlies are done.

And, everyone on the Grizzlies team has a very good professional attitude.

Therefore, Link believes that the next pre-season training camp is enough for everyone to recover, and there is no need to start the pre-season training camp in advance.

Link believes that connecting everyone is more important than being in shape.

Not every championship team wins the championship the same way.

You can't say that last year's Warriors were similar to the Bulls of that year, and no one thinks Nowitzki's Mavericks are similar to the Grizzlies of the previous three years.

Each champion team has a different leader and playing style.

But there's one thing, which every championship team has.

A close-knit heart!

Regardless of how the Celtic triumvirate ends, at least initially, they are closely connected, they all share a common goal, and they are all willing to sacrifice for it.

Regardless of whether Kobe Bryant and O'Neal eventually part ways, at least on the court, they are still closely connected.

When Nowitzki won the championship, the rest of the people around him didn't want to lose, they gave Dirk the most help, and they fought together.

Michael. Jordan created a miracle when Scott. Pippen also fought half to death. Jordan's last championship of his career, people say it was a five-and-a-half-and-a-half matchup.

The half of the Bulls is Pippen, who insists on playing with injuries.

People sacrifice each other, achieve each other, and then move together to glory.

That's the similarity of all championship teams, and that's what Link wants to inject into the Grizzlies.

Talent alone is not enough, if a team is not united enough, it will not achieve anything.

So, Link followed the example of the holiday when the Celtic Big Three were formed back then, and organized everyone to go on a fun trip.

In 2007, then-Celtics head coach Doug Murphy Murphy was appointed to the team. In order to harmoniously manage the relationship between the three superstars, Rivers organized a special tour that summer.

He asked all Celtic players not to use their phones and traveled with each other for a week.

As a result, in the first season after the formation of the Big Three, they won the championship trophy.

In this day and age, it's impossible to keep players completely away from their phones. So, Link didn't ask people to not use their phones.

If he forcibly asks you not to use your mobile phone, it will probably backfire, and the players will be resistant.

Link just took everyone to Hawaii to rent a villa and take a week's vacation.

For a week, all the Grizzlies lived together, played cards together, played games together, surfed together, and partyed together in bars.

Sometimes, working together doesn't necessarily lead to a better personal relationship between men. But to play together, absolutely.

A week later, the Grizzlies' preseason training camp officially began.

And the Memphis Grizzlies at this time, from old Carter to young Jokic. From the new Wade to the old fritter Randolph, from the players to the coaches, they all played together!

At this point, the Grizzlies players don't care about personal data, they don't care about competition for the same position. They have only one goal – to win together!

In such a situation, it becomes very easy to carry out the work.

Sure enough, the Grizzlies players had a great time in training camp. Vede and other veterans quickly found their form, and even the veterans trained very hard.

As for Jokic and other young people, the progress has made Jogel even more gratifying.

Soon after, in the preseason, Jogger deliberately gave Jokic, Dinwiddie, Harrell and Richardson a lot of playing time.

On the pitch, the four youngsters have played a different performance than last season.

Moreover, the cooperation of the Grizzlies players on the court is also quite tacit. Link's trip to Hawaii proved to be a success.

In the end, the Grizzlies won back-to-back games in the preseason!

Before the start of the season, they had an excellent record of 6 wins and 0 losses in the pre-season!

Memphis fans are excited, after all, the last time the Grizzlies won all the games in the preseason, they won a championship.

What is happening now is incredibly similar to what it was back then!

However, the Grizzlies' results only made Memphis fans happy.

In most people's minds, even if the Grizzlies win all six preseason games, they still won't be in contention for a championship next season.

The clock is fast approaching October 23, just two days before the start of the new season.

As in previous years, both ESPN and .T aired special episodes on their respective TV stations with a preview of the new season.

But when it comes to the Memphis Grizzlies, most pundits just shake their heads vigorously.

"It doesn't matter how well you play in pre-season because you don't play seriously. Therefore, the pre-season results are not very informative. Every year in pre-season, there are always a few players who can put in amazing performances. But as soon as they entered the regular season, they were revealed. So don't expect too much from the Grizzlies' four youngsters. ”

"The Grizzlies are not a championship-contending team. Aside from Link, they don't have any players in their prime. The old ones are too old, and the small ones are too small. Conley and Gasol, who are not young, have just experienced major injuries. Can such a team win the championship? Memphis fans seem to be a little too optimistic. They can't expect Wade, who is already 34 years old, to repeat the miracle of 2006. ”

"I'll admit, Link is still in the top three in the league. No, one could even say, he's the best player in the league! But you know, Jordan may have a hard time winning the championship without Pippen. Kobe Bryant was also unable to build his own two-game winning era without Gasol. And in Memphis, who can be Pippen and Gasol next to Link? ”

Everyone still doesn't think that the Grizzlies can return to the top, and the favorites are still the Warriors, Cavaliers, and even without Tim. Duncan's Spurs.

Everyone is talking about how likely the Warriors are to win back-to-back championships, and everyone is discussing whether James can bring a championship trophy to Cleveland.

And when it comes to the Grizzlies, everyone is in one sentence, "They're strong, they're still a powerhouse in the West." But there is still some distance from the championship. It won't take more than a year for the Grizzlies to get back to the top. ”

No one thinks the Grizzlies will be able to do much in the new season, and even one thinks they may not be able to win the New York Knicks, their first opponent of the new season.

On October 25th, the 16-17 season will officially begin. And this year, the league has arranged a special matchup between the Knicks and the Grizzlies.

Needless to say, the Grizzlies are one of the favorites despite losing in the Western Conference Finals last season.

The Knicks, who failed to make the playoffs last season, instantly became one of the championship contenders due to the heavy reinforcements this summer.

Ross's deal, Noah and Contney. Lee's joining, the surrender of "James Emperor" Jennings, made the Big Apple's lineup look colorful, and made Anthony's face smile. Of course, it also made this New York team regain the attention of fans.

Therefore, it is understandable that the league put the Grizzlies and Knicks on the opener.

While it's still unclear whether the Knicks will be able to play this season, in the words of the New York media, "I'd rather hope that the scarred rose will bloom again than that Wade will have the second spring of his career." I'd rather expect Porzingis to play than to believe Jokic can bring his Olympic form to the NBA. Grizzlies want to win the championship? Let's see if they can beat the Knicks! ”

It's no secret that the New York media is the most difficult group of people to deal with in all the media in the league. They make it difficult for their own players, let alone players from other places.

However, Link's response at the press conference the next day left the traditionally domineering New York media with nothing to say.

"What? Did I hear me right? Dwayne and I combined have five rings, and the Knicks are 0! In this way, they actually think they can win us? Oh my God, it looks like they lack basic respect for the championship members. But that's okay, I'll soon teach them how to respect others. ”

Wade, who was at the press conference with Link, smiled, this is Link's usual style.

The domineering ...... of the champion team Well, it's starting to smell inside!
