After returning to Memphis from Toronto, link went to general manager Chris Wallace''s office during his lunch break, where he was about to sign his second 10 day contract with the Grizzlies.
Grizzlies general manager Chris Wallace looks very different from what most people think of as a general manager. He is neither as resourceful as Popovich, nor as authoritative as Larry Bird.
Chris Wallace has a round face, and his curly gray hair is very casual. He moved to Memphis Grizzlies in 2007 to replace the outgoing "logo man" Jerry West. The biggest deal he''s ever made is to give Pau Gasol to the Lakers.
But for now, Chris Wallace''s deal with Pau Gasol is not that bad, let alone give up.
"Link, sit down. The contract is ready, the same as the last one. So today, you don''t have to call Jeff Austin. "
As soon as link entered the door, Chris Wallace kindly seated him and handed him the contract. Chris Wallace may not seem so authoritative, but at least he is more likely to be liked than the fake Murray.
"You did well in the two games this time and it turns out that you fit in very well with the team. Hopefully, in the next 10 day contract, you will continue to do well
"I will, Mr. Chris Wallace." No, Chris Wallace said that link would cherish his second 10 day contract.
After all, the next time he comes here to sign a contract... It will be a security contract!
"Link, I hear you stay and practice every night?" Just as link signed the contract, Chris Wallace asked with interest.
"If the starting point is lower than others, it must be made up by the day after tomorrow." Link smiles, thinking that his abilities can be superimposed, he can''t help but want to upgrade quickly and develop more skills.
"You know, in the Grizzlies, there are players who are willing to stay and practice, but it''s something new. Well, thank you for your signature and trust, link. Hopefully the next time you come back, we will be talking about signing until the end of the season
Chris Wallace said this intentionally or unintentionally, which is a hint to link that Memphis will not abandon you as long as you continue to work hard.
Link was very happy to hear that. He has just established friendship and understanding with the Grizzlies, so he doesn''t want to leave again. So link got up and bowed to Chris Wallace. "Thank you, sir."
"You deserve it, link."
Wallace laughed. In fact, if link had not played only two games, he would have given him a security contract signed until the end of the season.
But the sample of the two games is so small that Chris Wallace wants to see more. Therefore, a second 10 day short contract was opened.
Let''s hope link doesn''t let him down for the next 10 days.
The day after signing up with Chris Wallace, link immediately saw the news about him in the newspaper.
Most people are very optimistic about link''s future and think he really deserves a second 10 day contract.
But some of them think that link is just a flash in the pan, because his physical fitness and athletic ability make him unable to become a star.
"As long as everyone studies him thoroughly, he will not be so magical." This is said by a Los Angeles media, arrogant Los Angeles people seem to have always been less optimistic about such low-level players.
Although it made link angry, he didn''t have the heart to fight the Los Angeles reporter. Because at this time, link is on the plane to Sacramento.
Yes, the third game, the third away game. As a member of the Grizzlies for more than ten days, link has never played at home.
Many Memphis fans said they were eager to see the amazing rookie on the spot. But unfortunately, the enthusiastic Memphis fans have to wait a few more days.
"Link, you say this guy is a jerk, not a jerk?" While make complaints about how popular he was in Memphis, Randolph, sitting next to Linke, suddenly took a newspaper and tuckled up.
"Who is a jerk?" Link leaned his head over and found that there was news about DeMarcus cousins on the page.
Originally, because of Randolph''s 37 points and 17 rebounds in the last game, a reporter asked kausins before the game, "will Zach bring you great pressure?"
The character of this guy, Cox, is very clear. In the king''s time, he was a dynamite barrel. He would explode at a little bit. So he replied defiantly, "pressure? He''s old, man. In Sacramento, I''ll let him know how the young inside plays
It''s ok if cauxins provokes others, but he also provokes a bully... To tell the truth, compared with Randolph, what he is doing now is nothing more than making a fuss.Kaoxins and Randolph ended the dispute, the plane is still in the air, Randolph''s heart has fallen on the court.
"Well, what are you going to do? Give him a beating? "
"That''s a bully, because he can''t beat me. Man, I''ll be waiting for your pass at mid range today. If you break through and attract his defense, you can choose to trust me Said Randolph, smiling at the ringleader.
Although the tactics are arranged by the head coach, it is the players themselves who implement them in detail. As a result, players and players occasionally have some small cooperation of their own.
Link opened his hand. Did he have any reason to refuse? Randolph was worthy of him if he didn''t ask him to buy a hamburger for the team.
"Zach Randolph is chattering in koshins'' ear, ha ha ha ha ha, this is really a fight between bullies and bullies!"
On the stage, the two commentators focused on Randolph and kacins, but ignored mark Gasol, who was shooting a free throw.
At this time, the game has played to the last three minutes of the fourth quarter. After Gasol made two free throws, the Grizzlies were only six points ahead of the kings.
In fact, the Grizzlies'' hard power is above the king. After all, the kings have only a decent 5-23 record this season.
But because of kausins and Randolph''s reasons, both sides are playing gunpowder today. The kings were very active, and there were a lot of people on both sides throughout the game. As a result, the shooting rate of both teams is not high.
Rudy Gay, Mike Conley, Pau Gasol and Mayo all shot less than 35 percent today. If it wasn''t for Randolph and link, who played an excellent rotation time, the Grizzlies would not even get the 6-point advantage.
After mark Gasol''s free throw, the kings launched a fierce attack. Koshins started to ask for the ball directly outside the three-point line. As a center forward, his breakthrough ability with the ball is very strong. He has scored 21 points and is confident.
During this period, koshins was more likely to play No. 4, and he and veteran center Dale Porter always played at the same time.
Therefore, it is not Pau Gasol, but Randolph, who is defending koshins at this time.
Randolph didn''t expect kausins''s breakthrough to be so resolute, and must admit that he was not as flexible as kausins in his footwork.
As a result, cousins pushed Randolph aside with another force from his arm.
Seeing cousins scurrying towards the penalty area, Rudy Gay decided to make up for it.
Guy knows how bad he''s been in the last three games. He scored inefficiently in the previous game. Last time, he had to rely on link to clean his butt. Today, his shooting rate nearly fell below 30%.
Guy knows all the doubts from the outside world. Therefore, he worked hard in this competition, hoping to recover his reputation and prove himself.
Seeing Rudy Gay cross over, the red eyed cousins didn''t slow down. He went straight at guy and hit guy hard on his left shoulder.
Guy fell to the ground in confusion, and the referee''s quick whistle sounded in time. Offensive fouls, the referee is very clear!
"Damn it, this is basketball, not a coward''s game! Can you call basketball without physical confrontation? " Cousins yelled at the referee and smashed the basketball to the ground.
Randolph and others immediately gathered around guy, ready to pull him up.
But when the crowd arrived, they found that guy''s problem was not so simple. He covered his left shoulder in pain, gritting his teeth.
After a while, link on the bench saw the team doctors rush up, Rudy Gay seemed unable to hold on to the game.
