826: Reaching the top
Link was still ...... Annoying! ”
"Six or seven players? Link is going to take Vince. Did Carter add it too? It may have been 10 years earlier, but Link don't forget that Carter is no longer the 'demigod' he used to be. ”
"I don't know if Link is serious or joking, I want to see how he ends up right now."
As Link expected, he was scolded again the next day.
When people think that the Grizzlies players are ranked too high, Link does the opposite and says that there are too few Grizzlies selected, and this kind of approach of standing on the opposite side of the public is really very Link.
This season, Link finally had no controversy over his ranking, but he had to jump into the controversy.
There is no doubt that Link's simple words made the game between the Cavaliers and Grizzlies in the opening game of the new season even more eye-catching.
Although James, who has changed jobs for the second time, is not likable now, people want to see Link look foreign. The battle between the Grizzlies and the Cavaliers even overshadowed the Texas Civil War between the Rockets and the Lakers and the Mavericks and Spurs on the same day.
This may be the first time in NBA history that one opener game has been more high-profile than the others combined.
Although there is a lot of controversy about Link and the Grizzlies now, within the Grizzlies, everyone is not bothered by this.
If you had to pick a team that could withstand the most pressure in the league, it would be the Grizzlies. After all, along the way, grizzly bears have long been accustomed to moving forward in people's malicious eyes.
The fans were yelling at the Grizzlies, but the atmosphere was very joyful when everyone who hadn't seen each other for a long time was able to gather together to work for the championship.
The Grizzlies didn't have any major personnel changes this summer, and the core members are still those guys. Although there are fewer Miller and Nick. Yang, there's Carter, but it's not a big change.
As for Jokic and Dinwiddie, they can't get into the main lineup for the time being, so it won't affect the chemistry.
Jokic is working hard in Europe at this time, and it is said that since being rejected by Barcelona, Jokic has been much more active in training and losing weight. Link is glad that the irritated move he made in the first place when he suggested that management throw Jokic away from Barcelona had worked.
Dinwiddie, on the other hand, will also need to work hard in the Development League to adapt to the demands of championship teams.
They can't help much now, but Link believes it won't be long before they can contribute to the Grizzlies' championship journey.
Jimmy. Isn't Butler the best example of this?
With little change in the lineup, everyone knew each other very well, so the atmosphere in the camp was very good from the start. Even if the smoky smoky scolding outside, it has no effect on the grizzly bear.
"Link, what you said to the reporter was wonderful! We're the defending champions, so why can't we start all five of them? "In between trainings, Randolph is always the loudest one.
"Okay, if you don't lose weight, I guess ESPN will really kick you out of the top 50 superstars of the new season." Link looked at Randolph, who had become a ball after a summer, and shook his head speechlessly.
Randolph was busy with the wedding all summer, and he didn't have the energy or time to keep in shape. If he plays as he is now, Link estimates that Randolph will not be able to play even 20 minutes.
While Randolph and Link were chatting, Jimmy. Butler is honing his shot again. Butler always had shorter breaks than others, and every time he took a break, he would take the opportunity to practice shooting.
However, unlike last season, this year Butler finally has a reliable shooting player in the same position next to him to guide him.
Vince. Carter settled into the team really quickly, and he got along with everyone on the Grizzlies on his first day. Now, every time Butler practices shooting, Carter goes to coach, as if he has accepted the role of veteran and mentor.
I have to say that a respected old Jianghu like Carter can eat anywhere he goes.
Link looked at his energetic teammates and felt extremely relieved.
He said that the Grizzlies have at least six or seven players who can be selected to the top 50 superstars, which is not alarmist.
In addition to the starting five, Link felt that Butler and Toney. Aaron should also be selected.
Tony. Although Allen doesn't play much time now, his defense is still the only one in the league. In the finals last season, people only remember Link's explosive score, but they forgot who locked James and Wade in Link's absence, eliminating the possibility of the Heat turning the tables.
In terms of Link's first-hand experience, he thinks Tony. Allen still has the strength of the best defensive team!
As for Butler, that's even less to say. His progress is obvious to everyone on the Grizzlies. It's just that at present, in addition to Durant, Kobe and Paul. Except for George, no one knows how good he is.
If Monta. Ellis and Chandler. Parsons and other players are eligible to be selected as one of the top 50 superstars of the new season. Butler is also definitely eligible.
In this way, the Grizzlies have 6 to 7 players selected, and Link thinks it is quite reasonable.
I don't know what those fans have to spray.
The Grizzlies' training camp continued in this joyous atmosphere, and Link was portrayed as a megalomaniac by the fans. But only his teammates know how hard the MVP worked last season.
In order to make his boasting come true, Link never skimps on his sweat.
In fact, Link has worked very hard all summer. He was unequivocal when he was on vacation, and he was even more out of control in the pre-season training camp.
If Link is just an "ordinary" player, then he probably doesn't have that much motivation.
I won two championships, MVP, FMVP, and the best team. It is indeed very difficult to go further and make a breakthrough on this basis. Even if you really try, you may not get timely feedback.
But Link's constant diligence is mainly due to his ability to clearly "see" his progress.
After a summer of grinding, the small white bar in front of Link was filled again, and there was not much left.
Link hopes to make himself break through to the next level before the new season begins!
Therefore, he worked tirelessly every day, hoping to fill the progress bar as soon as possible. Moreover, this time Link's desire to fill the progress bar is stronger than ever.
Because if you upgrade it again...... Link will be at the top of his game Grant. Ciel's power is up!
It's something he's been dreaming of for four years!
Hill in the 99-00 season was as unstoppable as a descending tiger, and after so many years of humble and low-key, he finally couldn't hold back and wanted to attack, and wanted to invade. Since entering the league, Hill's desire to score has never been stronger than it was in the '99-00 season.
In the summer of 1999, Hill's range was getting longer and longer, his shots getting softer and softer, and he was in the gym day after day receiving the ball thrown by his trainer.
As a result, Hill increased his scoring average to 27 points per game in his first month of the season, and in January, he had a record of scoring more than 36 points in seven consecutive games. In February, Hill also managed to score more than 40 points in three games in one week! His shooting percentage, scoring percentage, and free-throw percentage all set career-high records.
It was discovered that the suave gentleman of the court was gone, replaced by a red-eyed super scorer. It can be said that in the 99-00 season, it was Grant. Hill's season at the peak of his all-round ability!
And, of course, have the healthiest ankles that have not been implanted with steel nails.
Link doesn't think he's hardworking than anyone else, and he believes that any player who has the opportunity to get that kind of power will go for it.
So, for the sake of Hill's restless power, Link tirelessly sweated on the wooden floor of the training ground.
If you can get that power before the start of the new season...... It's sure to be a blockbuster.
Winning a Grand Slam of individual honors is already the ceiling of your career? No, the pinnacle has just begun!
