Link has no special idea about the end of December. For him, it''s just an ordinary month.


    But for the American people, the end of December is nothing ordinary. Christmas is coming, everyone is immersed in a strong festival atmosphere. Even Memphis, which is already in decline, is decorated with colorful decorations at Christmas.


    And link''s only involvement in Christmas is that before crossing over, he often bought Christmas discount games on steam.


    However, at this time, looking at the colorful street view, link is also wrapped in a strong festival atmosphere. In fact, if you want to feel the festival atmosphere, there is a very important indicator, that is, holidays. As a "native" Chinese, as long as a holiday, it means to celebrate the festival.


    And coincidentally, this Christmas, the Grizzlies also have a holiday, and the holiday time is not short.


    Since the loss to the nets on December 21, the Grizzlies ushered in a four-day rest day. On the 22nd and 23rd, the Grizzlies didn''t play. On Christmas Eve of the 24th, all NBA vacations. The 25th Christmas War has nothing to do with the Grizzlies, which have no superstar.


    It won''t be until December 26 that the Memphis grizzly bear will start its journey again.


    Although there are four days without playing, the team still has to train on the 22nd and 23rd. Christmas Eve rest all day, Christmas day morning, the team also has to train.


    But even so, four days without playing is a luxury for players. Therefore, as soon as he came to the training hall today, link saw his teammates with happy smiles on their faces, as if yesterday''s defeat had been forgotten.


    "Link, come here. I''ll introduce you to someone." Training hasn''t officially started yet, everyone is still in the free warm-up. Hollins went to link and waved to him.


    So link was taken to a black man in a grizzly uniform.


    "He''s Marcus will, our shooting coach. If you want to practice more in the future, call him at any time."


    Link did not expect that Hollins actually found himself a trainer. The same is a 10 day short contract, in the Rockets, link did not train with the team at all. And grizzly even equipped him with a special trainer. What''s more, it''s the kind that can let him stay with him at any time with more practice.


    Although Memphis is not as prosperous as Houston, link can feel the warmth from his first day in Memphis.


    Assistant coach Elson Turner''s smile, team general manager Chris Wallace''s sincerity and Hollins''s equal treatment made link forget that he was only a temporary worker.


    "Hello, link, although I''m a shooting coach, what I can guide is quite comprehensive. I''ll try my best to meet your demands in the future. To tell you the truth, I''m still a bachelor, no wife and children. So it''s OK to train with you. " Will''s trainer politely shook link''s hand, which made him a little uncomfortable.


    As a low-level player, it is impossible for players to have any special trainers in the Development League. Well known private trainers, they can''t afford them. Now suddenly there is such a good treatment, I really feel like living in a dream.


    "Come on, link, and then, get ready for me!"


    With that, Hollins returned to the office. Link looks at the white note and the trainer in front of him. His progress may be faster than expected!


    After today''s training, link and Randolph went to dinner. Since the first day of training, link has become Randolph''s little brother. "Big black bear" seems to like link very much. Although link is always polite outside the stadium, his ruthlessness on the court is really like an angry grizzly bear.


    And Randolph likes this kind of player who is willing to be tough.


    After dinner, link got a call from his parents.


    Speaking of all this time, link has never met his parents. Although link has no feelings for the two old men, they are usually very grateful for their own good.


    After all, link used to be a person who lacked family care. He grew up so much on his own.


    However, when he heard that his parents were going to spend Christmas with him in Memphis, link was at a loss.


    "Well, don''t come if it''s inconvenient. Anyway, we are going to play away on the 26th, and I will leave early the next morning after Christmas, and I can''t accompany you either Link is always nervous about meeting his parents. After all, it''s strange to have a couple of strange parents suddenly.


    "What? Your father and I have bought tickets! How long hasn''t our family been reunited? We haven''t seen you since you went to Oklahoma to play! Christmas, say anything to spend together


    Like most Chinese parents, link''s mother nagged. Although link was born in the United States, his parents grew up in China and later immigrated to the United States. As a result, parents still retain a lot of Chinese characteristics.For example, the concept of home is very important.


    Link had no reason to refuse his parents, so he gritted his teeth and agreed.


    After hanging up, link put his hands over his head. He may be the first son in history to feel extremely headache because his parents are coming to celebrate with him.


    Memphis is a city with very pleasant temperature, which is one of the few advantages compared with other places. It''s not too hot in summer and not too cold in Memphis in winter. Even now in December, the average daily low temperature in Memphis is 2 ℃. The daily average high temperature even reached 11 ℃.


    As a result, snowy scenes are not common in Memphis. There was no snow on Christmas day, which made the festival look quite different from that on TV.


    Link got up early in the morning to clean up the rental house, a two story building that Jeff Austin helped link find. And according to the terms of the contract, Austin paid the rent out of Austin''s pocket until link signed a security contract with the Grizzlies.


    After training in the afternoon, link bought a Christmas tree and put it in the door. Then he ordered a bunch of takeout.


    Looking at the table full of food and the well decorated house, link also had a sense of Christmas.


    At 7 p.m., link drove a Mercedes to Memphis International Airport. Randolph borrowed the car from him. According to Randolph, "you can drive as long as you want, but I''m not fit for a car anyway."


    Seeing his parents, link is still a little unaccustomed. His mother is an ordinary Chinese woman, dressed in mediocre, not heavily make-up, looks like very gentle.


    Link''s father had a moustache and his hair was messy and unshaped. He didn''t talk much. After asking link how he was doing, he didn''t ask any more. Father''s love is different from mother''s, they don''t like to show their love, but deep in their heart.


    As soon as they got home, their parents took out a pile of things for link from their bags.


    "We brought you a lot of things. Well, your favorite Cantonese sausage was bought by someone from China. There is also old Ganma hot sauce, which is very expensive in the United States. So, I asked someone to take a box for me. By the way, your father and I also bought you some clothes. You can save some money. I heard that the law and order in Memphis is not good, so you should take less money with you when you go out. "


    There are no fancy gift boxes and no special valuables. Looking at a table of old Ganma and Cantonese sausages, link smiles.


    This Christmas can be said to be very socialist.


    Still, link felt warm. Before, in the divorced family, he had hardly received any gifts from his parents. Today''s Chinese Christmas makes up for link''s regret.


    Just then, link''s cell phone rings. The name on the caller ID is coach, which means the call is from Lionel Hollins.


    "Hello, link. Merry Christmas!" As soon as the call was put through, Hollins'' passionate voice shot out.


    See is the team coach and son call, link''s parents did not speak to disturb.


    "Merry Christmas, coach. What can I do for you?"


    "Nothing, just to let you know that the plane will leave at 9 o''clock tomorrow morning. Don''t be late."


    "Nine o''clock flight?"


    "Yes, you''re on the list, link. I''ll send you to the Indianapolis game tomorrow! If you can, this is my Christmas gift for you, ha ha ha ha ha


    Listening to Hollins''s laughter and looking at his parents in front of him, linkton felt.


    It was probably the happiest Christmas he had ever had.
