On the plane to Indianapolis, igordala sat next to link.
At first, link didn''t care much. After all, Tony Allen and his party started gambling on the plane again.
There was a fight between Tony Allen and O.J. Mayo on the plane for playing cards, which led to Lionel Hollins banning players from gambling on airplanes. But with the change of the Grizzlies, this rule will no longer exist.
Stevens naturally knew what happened, but he didn''t ban players from playing cards on airplanes. For one thing, Stevens is confident in the atmosphere of the Grizzlies. Second, it''s normal for the players to relax once in a while because of the good results of the team.
To put it bluntly, competitive sports food is the original sin. Jordan ordered a pizza because of his greedy appetite before the game, but he was still able to lead the team to win the game with a high fever. In this way, people will only remember Jordan''s high fever battle, and will not care why a professional player orders pizza at night.
But if you don''t do well, you can''t even eat an egg pie.
So, as long as the results and the atmosphere of the team are guaranteed, Stevens thinks it''s OK to let the players play cards on the plane.
And not everyone in the Grizzlies is interested in playing cards. Link, for example, rarely plays games with his teammates. Now, the Grizzlies don''t like playing cards, and they have another igordala.
So link was not surprised to see igordala sitting next to him. People who don''t like playing cards will certainly not sit in the middle of a bunch of gamblers.
"Link, it''s been several days, but I still want to say thank you for your Christmas present." But as soon as igordala sat down, he began to speak.
"Ah? Don''t be so polite. We''ll have more chances to give presents to each other later. " Link waved his hand, but igordala came to thank him.
"Haha, I''ve been with the 76ers for so many years... To be honest, I''ve never received such a gift."
"Because when you were in the 76ers, tablets weren''t popular." Link played a joke with igordala.
"No, I mean cards. Indeed, most people send cards to each other. But it''s the first time I''ve seen the content written with your heart. I''m glad you respect me so much, link. As the card says, we can create more brilliance together. I''d like to do something with you here. You know, this is my contract year and this summer I will be a free agent. To be honest, when I first came to Memphis, I didn''t know whether to renew my contract. Now Memphis is the first choice
Igordala finished, patted link on the shoulder, then got up and left to read.
Link did not expect that a small card he sent would have such a great power. So that igordala suddenly made a "true confession" on the plane.
Maybe now, igordala has found his place in Memphis, too? No, he said that he preferred big cities like the bay area or Los Angeles, which would help his business development.
He may not have such deep feelings for Memphis, but link is sure that at least he is in love with the Grizzlies.
With a "great Dharma protector" around him, link felt relieved for a moment.
In the card, he said what he would do with igordala. Maybe it won''t take long. Maybe they can do something this season.
After the plane arrived in Indianapolis, local journalists were so enthusiastic that they jammed the whole waiting hall.
In many cities, basketball is not the most popular sport. Football and baseball may be more popular.
But in Indianapolis, basketball is an absolute love. This is a city with a brilliant basketball history, from high school basketball, college basketball to professional basketball, there are a large audience.
Basketball in Indiana is comparable to religion. In the walkers'' home stadium, there is even a sentence: "Indiana may not have created basketball, but basketball has created Indiana.".
Yes, there are many famous basketball players in Indiana. For example, Larry Bird, who is still being talked about as "king of the game", such as Reggie Miller, one of the greatest pitchers in the history of the league, and Isaiah Thomas, the mentor of smiling assassin, who led the legendary coach of the 1984 U.S. Olympic basketball team to win the championship, Bob knight.
So every time there''s a big game in Indianapolis, the reporters here are out there, doing their best to bring the fans first-hand coverage.
Link looked at the frenzied reporters around him, as if he could feel the hot atmosphere in the banker''s life stadium in advance.
It''s really a basketball Mecca. No wonder there are people like George and now grizzly coach Brad StevensSpeaking of all, in Indianapolis, the most popular Grizzlies is not link, but Stevens.
Countless reporters surrounded the coach who had led Butler University to the NCAA finals twice and asked him a lot of questions. Link, on the contrary, is like a little transparent, as if no one cares.
When link got on the team bus and was ready to leave for the hotel, he took out his mobile phone and read the news. Only then did he find out that in Indianapolis, someone still cared about himself.
Lance Stephenson: "I''ll let link burn at the banker''s life arena."
"Rubbish? He can''t spray on me because I''m the kind of person who always talks rubbish and makes other people uncomfortable. It''s not comfortable for him to fight with me in the end
"We are not afraid to be the first in the league, we will aim to beat the League first."
On the news, many media have put Stevenson''s remarks on the front page. God knows how hard this guy says when he''s facing one microphone after another.
But link is not surprised that the other side is Stephenson. Born in a slum, he was ridiculed and ostracized since childhood. Naturally, he can''t grow up to be an elegant gentleman.
And Larry Bird has said that lance Stephenson is a player who wants to play a lot. The bigger the scene, the more excited and fearless he was. Whether you are James or link, as long as he stands on the court, he has the momentum to challenge the world''s first.
The more important the game, the stronger the opponent, the more boiling the stadium, the more adrenaline secretion will be accelerated.
There''s a whole day to go before the game starts, and this guy can''t wait. It seems that his adrenaline is a little over secreted this time.
When the bus arrived at the hotel and link stepped down from the game, a group of reporters reached out and asked him about Stephenson.
"What do you think of lance Stephenson''s provocation?"
Link wanted to wave his hand to leave, but suddenly he had an idea. He stopped and faced the microphone.
"Who are you talking about?" Link asked.
"Er... Lance Stephenson."
"Stephenson? I don''t know. Is all star voting higher than me? "
Looking at the reporter''s surprised expression, link turned and left contentedly.
It''s a warning to Stephenson - I''m a motherfucker like you, don''t think a few words can scare me!
Mixed ball meets mixed ball, the game has not started, but has become interesting.
