After the pre-season, people''s expectations for the new season have reached the peak.
The Grizzlies'' four consecutive championships and link''s final performance are two gimmicks that fans can''t stop.
Although experts from all walks of life have analyzed that link''s retirement will bring a very serious blow to the whole NBA and Memphis city.
But before the attack comes, NBA and Memphis have to go through a wave of revenue climax.
Before the NBA regular season, the number of visitors to Memphis increased by 40% compared with the same period in previous years!
The opening game of Grizzlies against the nets is difficult to get a ticket, even some fans said: "this game should be put in a large stadium, not just a stadium with more than 20000 people!"
So many visitors, if not all of them, will stimulate Memphis''s income.
There is no doubt that NBA ratings will reach a new high this season.
You''re kidding. Can he stop licking link?
They all point to link to make money.
You know, the Grizzlies are not the biggest team on the free agent market this summer.
The two teams in Los Angeles are undoubtedly the focus of this summer.
However, the Los Angeles derby between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Clippers in the opening game was far from reaching the Grizzlies'' influence.
Of course, the Los Angeles derby is also very hot, people want to see whether the father of the Los Angeles street is James, Davis or Leonard.
Or Louis Williams.
But the heat of the game, more is the Los Angeles fans self hi.
Really can be called a global attention to the game, but also the nets and Grizzlies this one!
Durant as link''s deadly enemy, after switching to other places, pulled Owen to continue to fight with link.
In addition, Ding Weidi returned to the FedEx stadium for the first time after his transfer.
These gimmicks, doomed the net is a perfect opening game opponent.
Link remembers that in the original history, Durant suffered a devastating injury like a torn Achilles tendon last season.
But in this history, Durant''s injury last season was not so serious, so he recovered completely in the summer.
I don''t know what kind of achievements Durant can make in the net.
It''s not just the fans who are looking forward to the game, but link himself is looking forward to it.
As long as there is Durant''s game, he is looking forward to it.
The day of the game is approaching, the Grizzlies'' training is more and more in-depth.
Four days before the start of the regular season, the Grizzlies confirmed their starting lineup for next season.
To be exact, it is to determine the first two candidates, because Conley, link, Gasol and Jokic will not change for the time being.
Because Carter is old, it is not suitable to start. As a result, Dillon Brooks will play second place in the starting line-up next season.
On the afternoon of the same day, the Grizzlies'' players also took the fixed makeup photos of the new season.
This new grizzly bear, which is still full of fighting power, has become more and more desirable.
Finally, the time came for October 21.
The day before the start of the 19-20 season NBA regular season, the Grizzlies ushered in the media open period in training for the first time.
Although journalists are interested in everyone in the new grizzly bear, the most popular one is still link.
"Link, will you change your mind and play a few more seasons?
"Are you willing to leave like this? Don''t you want to win more titles? "
"What new areas do you want to try after retirement? Into the business world? Or into other sports? "
Link looked at the chattering reporters in front of him. Facing these retirement related issues, he was not interested.
They all said that this is not a retired tour. The most important thing this season is to win four consecutive titles. Why do these people still focus on the topic of retirement?
But at this time, a reporter''s question slightly raised link''s interest.
"Link, in ESPN''s latest player strength ranking, Hadden, who averaged 36 points per game last season, only ranked sixth. Do you think this ranking is fair? "
Link''s eyes brightened, although he did not know what Hadden''s ranking had to do with himself, but at least this reporter really focused on the new season.
"There''s no point in choosing the best player, the best team should be chosen. For example, grizzlies of 13 years, grizzlies of 14 years, grizzlies of 15 years, grizzlies of 17 years, and Grizzlies of the next two years. "Link shrugged and boasted.
"Is it? So how do you think the Grizzlies are only ranked fourth in the strength list in the new season
"What do you think? Everyone makes mistakes. It''s no surprise. I don''t blame them. When the next strength ranking comes out, I will make them realize and change their mistakes. "
Link''s meaning is very clear - next time, the Grizzlies will be on the top of the strength list!Even if he''s going to retire, link is as crazy as ever.
Even a militant like Kobe has become much milder in his retirement years.
However, link is still very strong.
With link''s words, the next day''s opening battle became more intense.
Because very coincidentally, the Brooklyn nets in the strength ranking is not ideal, only ranked seventh.
Durant felt humiliated and offended, so in an interview, he said something similar to link.
This is wonderful, two teams want to climb to the top of the strength ranking list, who can win?
After Durant changed the team, could he threaten link and interrupt his four consecutive championship plans?
The answer to these questions will be revealed in one of the most high-profile openers in NBA history.
On October 22, the NBA arranged only two opening games, which were held in Los Angeles and Memphis.
Although the number of opening battles is less than in the past, the quality is absolutely hard enough.
As soon as it came up, the league has moved this is the most high-profile duel to the fans.
By the time link arrived, Howard and Dillon Brooks had put the dressing room in order.
Link is used to it.
Brooks was hoodwinked by Randolph and still has the habit of cleaning up the dressing room, and Howard has been so humble this season.
After link, more and more people arrived and the quiet dressing room became noisy.
Everyone is communicating with each other, some are talking about the game, some are talking about life.
But link did not speak. After he changed his clothes, he sat quietly in his seat and looked around.
It was not until this moment that he really experienced what was called the passage of time. Randolph, who is joking about
, is not around himself. He can no longer make complaints about the fat man''s Tucao.
Tony Allen is no longer giving serious guidance to young players. No one is telling them how to limit Durant and Owen on the basketball court.
Harrell no longer appears in fancy clothes, and Ding Weidi no longer asks about the tactical arrangements of Georges.
Richardson and Harris no longer encourage each other.
The Grizzlies'' three consecutive titles have just passed, less than half a year.
However, the trace of the three consecutive crown period has been so thin.
"Link, we''re all ready."
At this time, Conley went to link and called out, and link came to his senses.
"Well." Link nodded and stood up.
He knew that everyone was waiting for himself to speak.
Although the three consecutive champion''s lineup has been disbanded, but looked at these guys in front of him, link felt that they were equally trustworthy.
"I said it''s meaningless to choose the best individual, the best team should be chosen. In my opinion, we have all the potential to be the best team. Come on, from today on, prove it! "
With that, link led the team out of the dressing room and started his tenth season.
Although it is his tenth season, link still has goose bumps when he rushes into the court with a group of people, feels the change of cheers from small to big, and looks at the black crowd cheering for himself.
This is probably the reason why he is reluctant to leave here.
"Let''s welcome the founders of two dynasties, the number one villain in the league, Memphis grizzly bear ~ ~ ~"
the DJ yelled and the fans cheered.
Link ran to the center of the field logo, touched the Grizzlies team logo.
Time''s up. It''s time to play!
