At half past six in the morning, before the alarm clock went off, link got out of bed by himself.
Over the years, his biological clock has become a habit. It''s time to wake up.
Link opened the curtain, Milwaukee is sunny today, which makes people feel energetic.
The day of the game officially begins, and link has been experiencing it for ten years.
But this time, it was very special. Because today is link''s last day as a professional.
He will cherish every detail of the day...
went to the toilet to wash his face, and link put on his clothes and prepared to go to the gym.
If this is in Memphis, link will go straight to the training hall in the early morning.
But because it was away, link was less free.
By the time he got to the gym, Dillon Brooks was already sweating.
Brooks stopped at the sight of link.
"Why?"
"Nothing... It''s just... Today is the last game." Brooks faltered.
"Yes, the last one. In the days to come, you''ll have to do it yourself, man. By the way, don''t listen to Zach, I''m not the first to go to the dressing room every day when I''m a rookie Link laughs and pats Brooks on the shoulder and, by the way, debunks Randolph''s lie.
"I actually know Zach is playing for me, but... I think he''s the first one to practice with you. That''s why I''m the first one to come every day. " Brooks scratched his head. "I''ll never see you again."
"What? I come back to visit from time to time. Don''t be lazy. Go on, Milwaukee won''t give up the victory Link smiles. Unexpectedly, this guy is the first one to clean up the dressing room every day for himself...
at noon, the players have dinner together in the hotel restaurant. Of course, the food and the amount of food are arranged by the nutritionist. On the day of the game, players usually don''t eat too much to avoid the recurrence of Paul Pierce''s rarefaction...
link ate chicken breast and broccoli which tasted like jute wax today, but he felt different.
After all, this is the last time he''s had this damn nutritious meal. After that, link promised that he would never eat these things again!
After retiring, he will be frantically sweeping all the Chinese restaurants in Memphis.
Braised pork, double cooked pork, braised pork with plum vegetables, all kinds of meat, all arranged!
Ice cream, ice cream, cream cake, all buy home!
Thinking of this, link ate more happily.
The last meal, eat it quickly, and pass the exam!
After lunch is nap time, of course, players in need can also find a physiotherapist to massage and relax.
Link, as always, found Judy Sato, the "secret weapon" Kobe had recommended to himself.
She has escorted link''s career for many years. Link has not suffered fatal injuries in these years. She has contributed a lot.
"This is my last time in the finals, link." In the middle of the massage, Sato suddenly said this.
"What? Even without me, the Grizzlies would have made it to the finals Link waved, and Jokic and brooks, he looked at the pair.
"No, I mean, I''m going to retire after this season. In fact, I would have retired a long time ago, if Kobe had not recommended me to you. I''m old, link. " Sato grinned kindly, and it was a great honor for her to see another legendary career come to a successful conclusion.
"Really... Thank you for taking care of me over the years, Judy. I hope you can have a good life in the future."
"Thank you, link."
At 4:00 p.m., everyone finished their lunch break and left for Bradley Center from their hotel.
As soon as she got on the bus, link received a text message from Rachel. She and her child had arrived at Wade''s luxury room at Bradley Center.
Link was relieved for a moment. Next, he could concentrate on the game!
However, as soon as the team bus left the underground parking lot, the sun just poured into the window, and everyone screamed.
"God, what''s going on?"
"This is... Too much exaggeration!"
"God, what''s the difference between this and a championship parade?"
Hearing the screams of his teammates, link looks away from his cell phone and looks out of the window.
As a result, link was startled by the scene.
On both sides of the street along the bus, it was dark and full of people.
This time, it''s even more exaggerated than when link and they just arrived in Milwaukee!
Feel every crevice on the sidewalk, have been filled by fans! Moreover, all the fans wore dark blue commemorative T-shirts.The T-shirt has been on the shelves since link announced that he would definitely retire after the season.
In addition to link''s name and number, the T-shirt also has six championship rings on it.
After today, of course, the souvenir T-shirt will have to be updated. Because link''s total number of champion rings is about to reach seven!
Milwaukee''s local police are on the verge of disaster. This has never happened in the city.
Due to the shortage of manpower, many police officers on holiday were called back temporarily.
The fans cheered when they saw the team bus coming out.
Others are right, this is a championship parade level battle!
When the bus pulled into the middle of the fans, link saw that many fans were holding up their signboards. But this time, as like as two peas, the words on the cards are very uniform, and they have written the same three words -- ThankyouLink.
After link said those words at the last press conference, the fans stopped detaining him. They began to bless him.
It was like Reggie Miller''s last battle in Indianapolis.
All the fans were shouting "thank you, link," and everyone held up the cards.
But the scale of this time is dozens of times that of that time!
Paving the whole street and covering a stadium is not a concept at all.
Along the way, the voices of the fans never stopped. On the route of the team bus, there are all fans waiting.
Link''s eyes were red, and this was the most touching moment he had ever experienced.
Of course, link is also full of pride.
From an unknown drop in the draft to now, link feels his life is complete.
Arriving at Bradley Center, the underground parking lot has been surrounded by reporters.
As link got out of the car, the flashing lights blinded everyone.
At this time, there are not many vacant seats in the stands of Bradley Center.
Although the game has not yet started, everyone came to the Stadium ahead of time to prepare for this special night.
On the large screen of the stadium, there was even a memorial short film made by NBA officials for link.
You know, this is the Bucks'' home!
It is absolutely unique in the history of NBA to play the propaganda film of finals opponents at home!
The lights were dimmed and everyone''s attention fell on the big screen at Bradley Center.
Originally on the dark screen, appeared the picture of link in the Grizzlies'' trial training.
There was a great cheer from the stands.
Next on the screen are link and Robert Pera, both holding hands in the middle of the screen. This is a picture of link and the Grizzlies when they renew their contract.
The footage of link leading the team to win each Championship continued on the big screen.
From the first time I won the O''Brien cup, to the maturity when I beat Leonard last year.
Link''s ten years of glory flashed past us quickly.
"I just enjoy being a big villain. What''s wrong with being a villain?"
"Our goal is to build a dynasty, and I know a lot of people think I''m crazy, but... We''ll see."
"What was I thinking about 15 seconds before the kill? I''m thinking about the celebration later. "
"There''s nothing to worry about. There''s a bunch of idiots like you on the court!"
"Bill Simmons is ready to shave, and I''ve given him a thoughtful present."
The pictures of link shouting at the new press conference, on the sidelines and in the dressing room were also repeated one by one.
This bold, rude, but brave, resolute man, as if alive in front of everyone.
Yes, if there is no such contempt for the world, how can you get seven championship trophies in a ten-year career?
Or that sentence, without the courage to fight against the world, how can link survive in this cruel world?
Cheers and applause rang out for a long time.
We can''t wait to see link himself, and the whole Bradley Center seems to be the home of link.
At this time, link is sitting in the dressing room, looking at the familiar teammates, looking at the dark blue shirt, looking at all the eyes.
The last day of my career is brilliant.
Link stood up and clapped his hands. Every time he does this, it means he is going to start talking.
"Come on, guys, there''s the O''Brien cup, waiting for us to take home. Derek, haven''t you been longing for this? Dwight, don''t you want to prove yourself? Don''t all of us want to make history? Now, it''s time! "
"Today, this is my last game and I''m proud to have only played for Memphis Grizzlies in my life. I''m glad to meet you, too Link obviously didn''t include the rocket''s brief time in his career resume."On a night like this, I hope you can enjoy the game and enjoy the moment of victory at the top! Let''s go and grab the championship
Link said, and everyone was rubbing their hands.
Everyone wants to send off the greatest player in Memphis history with a great victory!
Link and his teammates rushed out of the dressing room to get ready to step into the stadium.
At this time, the DJ at the scene yelled out in his lungs.
"Now, let''s welcome the Memphis Grizzlies, as well as the six time championship, five regular season MVP, and seven double burst winners from Fresno State University, link!"
"Come on, let''s go!" Link felt his blood burning. He waved and rushed into the room with everyone.
As a professional player''s last day, entered the most important moment.
