Thank you Link, I'm so relieved to have someone to talk to. ”

Wearing a hood, Randolph started talking to Link as he walked.

"Me? I didn't do anything. Not only did he not do anything, but he also rubbed a blueberry pie in your house. Link blinked, he didn't want to make the atmosphere too serious.

"Blueberry pie...... The blueberry tart made by my mother was really delicious...... I really wish she could recover soon, and when you say that, you still miss the blueberry pie taste. ”

"She's going to have to be in a good mood to recover quickly, Zach."

"Of course I know she's not going to be happy tonight."

"It's not just tonight, it's an era of the internet. Now when you turn on your phone, you can immediately find hundreds of news about you and me falling out. We certainly don't give a damn about these things because we know the truth. But not everyone knows the truth, Zach. Looking at the news, what will Mayai think? ”

Link's words made Randolph think for a moment, and it was true that he only wanted to come back and take care of May.

But the negative news he left behind was also a kind of pressure for Mei Ai.

Randolph couldn't help but smile, he would be 35 years old in a few months. Unexpectedly, there was still a need for my mother to worry.

Growing up, he never seemed to reassure his mother.

This was true when I was a kid, and it was the same when I entered the league.

In 2002, he was arrested for drunk driving and then suspected of perjury against a friend.

In 2003, he was arrested for hiding a big man.

In 2004, he was embroiled in a shooting.

In 2006, Randolph was suspected of harassing a woman in Portland......

After coming to Memphis, Randolph managed to make Mayai feel a little more relieved. Now, he didn't want to go back to the same old ways.

"The next game, it's going back to Portland." Randolph lifted his head, the first time he had talked about the game in days.

"yes, they all said Aldridge was going to eat you alive." Link hurriedly agreed, knowing that the "Big Black Bear" had begun to pick himself up again.

"LaMarcus. Aldridge ...... That kid is all in the thick of things now. But don't make mistake about it, journalists, I was playing with him on the training ground. "Randolph is gearing up, it's time for May's ears to be quiet.

※※※

Early in the morning of January 16, Link and Randolph did show up.

The two of them carried their carry-on bags and walked out of the airport with hurried steps.

During this time, Link and Randolph just walked one after the other, without saying a word to each other or making any eye contact.

It looks like two mortal enemies who don't want to pay attention to each other.

The reporters couldn't control their fingers in an instant and frantically pressed the shutter!

From this point of view, the falling out between Link and Randolph can be regarded as a complete hammer!

"Link, Link! Can you tell us about the friction that happened between you and Zach? Is it true that someone saw you arguing on the team bus? ”

Link stopped and looked at the camera with a frown, "I just want to finish tonight's game, and as for the rest, I don't want to discuss it for the time being!" ”

Randolph's tone was also very tough, "I don't care about any rumors, I'm used to it anyway." It's a business alliance, and it's normal for anything to happen. ”

Link and Randolph sang and harmonized, whetting the appetite of the reporters.

Sure enough, flies don't bite seamless eggs. If there really wasn't anything between Link and Randolph, it would be impossible to break the news so much!

Wait, who's the fly?

Under the pursuit of reporters, Link and Randolph also got into two different cars and headed for the Moda Center.

Once in the car, Link and Randolph couldn't help but laugh.

The serious expressions on the faces of the reporters are really very interesting.

These two naïve ghosts are undoubtedly having a good time with their addiction to acting today, and what they want is for everyone to underestimate the grizzly bear tonight.

Meanwhile, on the Trail Blazers' practice court, LaMarcus . Aldridge was very nervous.

Zack. Randolph, this is no ordinary name for Aldridge.

Although "Big Black Bear" was only a teammate with Aldridge for one year, that year made a deep impression on Aldridge, who was in his rookie years at the time.

In the summer of 2006, Aldridge came to Portland to begin his first NBA season. The 21-year-old is a little shy and a little apprehensive about the city and the job.

Like most rookies, he needed the guidance of an experienced player, Zach Brown. Randolph was Aldridge's mentor.

Since they were both in the number four position, Randolph played against Aldridge almost every day on the training ground.

In Aldridge's opinion, Randolph wanted to kill him almost every day.

Even on the training ground, Randolph was fierce in the confrontation. Because Randolph himself was very competitive, he was actually so strict with Link later.

For Aldridge as a rookie, the rampaging Randolph was a nightmare. You know, at that time, Randolph was only in his twenties, and it was the rising period of his career, which can be described as full of momentum.

In this way, Aldridge has always had a shadow on Randolph.

Randolph is like a mountain, and every time Aldridge climbs, whether he succeeds or fails, he will inevitably fall on his head.

Aldridge is already a top power forward who can average 23.4 points and 10.2 rebounds per game this season, and his current coffee position and value are definitely above Randolph.

But even so, Aldridge is still afraid of three points against Randolph.

"What's wrong? It's rare for you to be so distracted. Lillard spotted Aldridge standing on the training court in a daze, so he elbowed his good partner.

"Ah...... Well...... I'm fine, go on, keep going. Tonight's game is not going to be easy, you have to give it your all. Aldridge said, starting to shoot.

But his shot came out unexpectedly!

Aldridge is known to be very consistent in his mid-range shooting, and he has even overshadowed many defenders at this point.

In the presence of defensive interference, Aldridge will not strike an iron easily, let alone in training.

"You're still saying you're okay?" Lillard pouted, just a Randolph, is it so scary?

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself, LaMarcus. Randolph isn't what he used to be, and we don't even know if he'll play for the Grizzlies in his next game. Don't worry, if Plumlee can handle him, so can you. ”

Seeing this, "French Pippen" Nicolas. Batum also comforted Aldridge.

Aldridge nodded, the current Randolph should not be so strong.

And his recent form has been very bad indeed.

In the evening, before the start of the game, most of the reporters and commentators had the same idea.

It is generally believed that the Trail Blazers, who have just experienced a wave of two consecutive defeats, can make a big comeback on the head of the Grizzlies.

Once Aldridge throws away, it will be desperately stable. And today neither Randolph nor Tobias. Harris, it seems, has not limited Aldridge's abilities.

"I'm willing to bet Aldridge has to score at least 30 points tonight. In the last game, Plumlee scored 15 points on Randolph's head, so Aldridge's 30 points is no exaggeration! "Before the game, Trail Blazers legend Bill. Wharton is confident in Aldridge.

He didn't think Randolph could pose a threat to Aldridge, let alone in the case of a conflict between Link and Randolph.

Before the start of the game, Link hugged three of the starting five enthusiastically, except for Randolph.

Randolph didn't make any too intimate moves with his teammates, and he stood in his assigned position and waited for the kick-off.

All the fans in the stadium waited to see Aldridge lead the Trail Blazers out of the predicament, but Randolph and Link quietly looked at each other and smiled.

Next, get ready for surprises!
