Recalling yesterday''s championship parade, link felt like a dream.
The championship parade started on the fourth day after the grizzly players returned to Memphis. Open top double decker buses specially used for the parade shuttled through the streets of Memphis. Although Grizzlies won the championship for the second time, the enthusiasm of fans participating in the parade rose instead of falling.
Even, many fans from outside Tennessee came to Memphis to see the championship parade.
At this time, the championship parade seems to have become the symbol of Memphis, just like the carnival in New Orleans.
Along with the bus were countless mounted police officers and several police cars. As the pride of Memphis, police cars were deployed for grizzly bears, which are standard equipment.
With the O''Brien cup, the best defensive player trophy, the regular season MVP trophy and the fmvp trophy in his arms, link stood at the front of the front car and waved to fans on both sides of the street.
Fans in dark blue Grizzlies'' jerseys or championship T-shirts crowd the streets, waving arms and flags to hail the riders.
Look around, it''s all dark blue! Once again, Memphis is full of people!
The bus was moving very slowly, as if it were wriggling in the crowded street.
But no one is too slow. Both fans and players want to stay with each other a little longer.
Fans yell the names of every grizzly bear player, and those who are called will wave to them and get more cheers.
When the team finally arrived at the city hall, there was even a star show.
But no matter how big the stars are, they are not the protagonists today. There is no doubt that the Memphis Grizzlies are the real focus.
The Grizzlies won the championship last year, and only the mayor of Memphis attended the event. This year, the governor of Tennessee and a lot of congressmen came to the final ceremony.
It can be seen that the influence of the Grizzlies winning the championship has completely exceeded the limits of sports.
Finally, in his speech in front of the city hall, link once again called out the words he once said to reporters to thousands of fans, "we are not the Lakers, we are not the Celtics. We''re nothing. We''re just Memphis Grizzlies. We just want to make our own way in the league. Today, we have only reached a node, and the road is far from the end! "
Link finished, and the whole city was shouting after him.
What is a glorious moment? Link thinks that''s it.
"Smirk what? Still thinking about yesterday''s championship parade? " In link''s arms, Rachel reaches out and shakes in front of the giggling link.
When Rachel arrived in Memphis, she stayed directly with the link family. Two people finally ushered in the holiday, naturally have to seize the opportunity to stay together.
At this time, they are nestling on the sofa, watching the TV replay of yesterday''s championship parade. As a result, link began to giggle.
"Haha, I will always think of the scene of yesterday even in another ten years."
"In ten years, God knows how many times you''ve been to the championship parade. Go and change your clothes. It''s getting late. Aren''t you going to the training hall today? " Rachel gets up from the sofa and helps link pick up the clothes.
"Well... There''s another good play to watch this afternoon." Link touched his chin and was looking forward to the afternoon after the championship parade.
It''s reasonable to say that the players are now on holiday, and they can enjoy their holidays relatively freely. Randolph flew to Hawaii early this morning to enjoy the waves and beaches.
But link has not yet planned to leave Memphis until the end of June.
First, link has to be involved in the Grizzlies'' draft this year. Although the Grizzlies don''t have the first round draft this year, link still takes this year''s draft seriously.
As a "past man", he is well aware that there are several noteworthy second round shows in 14 years. So this afternoon, link went to the training hall just to watch some rookies come to Memphis for trial training.
And after the draft convention, link himself has to start signing with Grizzlies. Although he and PELA have nothing to talk about, it''s more polite to sign in person.
Finally, link will have to spend time with manager Jeff Austen to plan for the summer.
After the expansion of influence, link''s business activities will certainly be more intensive and diversified. How to balance training, business activities and rest time is not an easy thing.
By the time this is over, it will be the end of June. So for link, at best, he''s on "half vacation.".
Link was thinking about it. Rachel took two sets of clothes from the second floor bedroom and walked down the living room. "Which one do you want to wear?"
"Er... The one on the left."
"Well, change it, and then wash your face so that no one else will notice the lipstick on your face. We won''t eat out today. I''ll show you at home. After that, come back. ""Oh... Oh..." linkton felt very comfortable. There was a woman around her, and the quality of life was improved in a straight line.
Tonight, at least, he won''t have to eat chicken breast.
Link happily out of the door, the car driving to the Federal Express stadium, he also saw a lot of tourists gathered in the square outside.
Today, the FedEx stadium has become one of the most popular tourist attractions in Memphis.
When there was no competition before, how cold and desolate this place was. But now? The square is full of people!
Now, although the stadium is still that one, there is no change. But Memphis Grizzlies are not the team they used to be.
The team is like the soul of a stadium. Staples, without the Lakers, would never be called a basketball shrine. Without Celtic''s north shore garden, it would never be favored by so many fans. After the United Center lost Jordan, did not it also lose the original grand occasion?
In the past, people were not interested in how to publicize that the FedEx stadium was the most artistic stadium in the NBA League.
But now, when the soul of this stadium sublimates, it also has a super high popularity.
Link laughs with pride, hoping to turn this place into another basketball Mecca.
Park the car, link can''t wait to walk into the training hall.
When he opened the door of the training hall, several rookies came to the training center to warm up. And the training ground, also full of trainers, the whole scene is very lively.
Because the Grizzlies have only two draft rights this year, all the rookies who are expected to drop out of the second round are coming.
Different from high ranking rookies, high ranking rookies will selectively participate in trial training in order to maintain a sense of mystery or to be friendly to a certain team. Their "drag" has existed since before they entered the league.
But the second round show is different, in order to be selected successfully, they have to show themselves as much as possible. Therefore, for the trial training invitation is almost welcome.
Therefore, today, the Grizzlies training ground gathered a lot of people.
"Coming? The trial training is about to start. All the people you suggest we look for are here Seeing link appear on the training ground, grizzlies general manager Chris Wallace warmly came up to say hello.
Coach Dave Joel and assistant coach Quinn Snyder also waved to link.
Link glanced at the training ground and found that many faces were strange to him. After all, the probability that the second round show can survive in the league is very low. Although link is a "past person", he also has no impression on many second round shows.
But in most unfamiliar faces, link still found a few "old acquaintances.".
Joachi, who has no muscle at all, is running to warm up, and Joe Harris, who hasn''t grown a mustache, is shooting outside the three-point line. Jordan Clarkson, who has dual nationality of the United States and the Philippines, has demonstrated his excellent ability of running and jumping.
In addition, link recognized Jeremy grant, K.J. McDaniels and Spencer dinwicky.
These guys are the best in the second round. It''s rare to gather so many second round shows in a year.
So, link is very concerned about this year''s draft. If the operation is good, the Grizzlies will be able to use the minimum cost to obtain the maximum benefit.
"Nikolay yokic, flat support... 20 seconds!" At this time, the trainer''s shout, let the air solidify instantly.
