After the game against the New York Knicks, the No. 18 Grizzlies did not play, and it was not until the 19th that they began to fight the Pacers in Indianapolis. So, Hollins took the team to Indianapolis for training on the 18th.

Since there is plenty of time, Hollins naturally prefers to lead the team early. After all, Memphis and Indians are still a little far apart. Even if it's a plane, it takes three and a half hours. If you start on the day of the race, you won't be able to do it in time.

Departing on the morning of the 18th, arriving in Polis at noon, and training directly at the Consec Arena in the afternoon. Tomorrow the players will be able to play without having to worry about traveling, which is the perfect arrangement for Hollins.

During the media session of the afternoon training, there were still reporters asking Link how he felt after defeating Griffin. It seems that this matter has not been fully fermented after so many days.

Even Link was a little annoyed by the question, wondering if Griffin's hairline had gone up these days.

After the interview and the whole team practiced their tactics together, the Grizzlies' training for today ended here.

"Link, where are you going at night? Tony and I want to go to Indianapolis Motor Speedway, will you go? Experience the fun of Fast and Furious. ”

As soon as the training was over, Randolph came to Link's side. It's Randolph's favorite moment of the day – arranging post-training entertainment.

"Racing? What kind of car can you sit in with your weight, I'm afraid you don't just drive an SUV on the track. ”

"Damn, I'll drive an SUV and I'll do the same for you. Why don't you try it tonight? "Randolph is coming in for energy, he's a thrill-seeker. Before coming to Memphis, getting caught speeding was a common occurrence for him.

It's a lot more honest now, but there's a legal opportunity to drive over the speed limit that Randolph won't want to miss.

Although there are many races held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, it is open to the public when there are no races, and every racing enthusiast can get off the track. Before coming to Indianapolis, Randolph had already planned to have a good race.

"Not tonight, I have an appointment tonight, you and Tony can go."

As soon as Link finished speaking, he found Tony. Aaron also "teleported" to his side.

"Appointment? And with whom? Male or female? Where to? "Tony. Aaron has four questions, like a heartbroken old father.

"Uh...... and Paul. George, why, I want to go. ”

"Cut." Randolph and Tony. Aaron waved his hand at the same time.

Link shook his head, ignoring the two teases. He and George hadn't seen each other for a long time, and Link was still very interested in this old classmate.

Although George's 7.8 points and 3.7 rebounds per game this season didn't even make the All-Star Game, Link had no doubt about George's ability and knew how strong his old classmates would become.

What interests Link even more is that this old classmate also said that he would introduce himself to him today.

Well...... It's not bad if it's a female star or something......

※※※

"Female stars? How do I know female celebrities, do you think this is Los Angeles? Wait, you kid haven't found a girlfriend yet, have you? No, Randolph should take you out often, right? Link, Link, that's what you're thinking. It's okay, I can take you to a newly opened nightclub in the evening if you want. ”

"Uh...... Forget it, George, I have a game tomorrow. You know, I've never been a big fan of that kind of place. One night, my ears were still ringing the next morning. Looking at George with a sinister face, Link waved his hand in disappointment, and George introduced himself to a female star.

As for nightclubs...... Link knows that George likes to go to nightclubs, and indeed, he is a hard player, and in the year that Link crossed over, George even played MVP-level stats with the Thunder. But that doesn't stop George from playing and being a nightclub café in college. It's just that George separates play from work very well, and never affects his work because of fun.

With George, the old driver, Link believes that if he goes to a nightclub, it will be much more fun than racing with Randolph. But there's still a game tomorrow, and there's a lesson from Anthony and Harden. So, Link could only reluctantly refuse.

"So who did you introduce to me? Could it be that he is a big man? ”

"You're right, what a big man. Let's go, get in and you'll know! With that, George put his arm on Link's shoulder and walked into the dining room.

For some reason, Link suddenly lost interest in the dinner. He lives in a pile of men every day, and he finally has to get to know another big man when he comes out...... Link really felt that his life was about to run out of color.

"Right there, do you know who he is? He's ......"

"Brad. Stevens!? Before George could finish his introduction, Link called out Stevens' name! He knew that these two guys were in Indianapolis, but he didn't expect them to know each other!

But on second thought, everyone is in the Indianapolis basketball circle, and it's normal for them to know each other.

Stevens was also a little surprised to hear someone shouting at him. And when he saw that the person who shouted at him was Link, he was even more surprised.

Does that kid know himself?

"You know him? Haha, I thought he was only famous in Indiana. George looked at George with a confused expression, could it be that Link also paid attention to the NCAA in this state?

"How could you not know! Mr. Bullard, it's a pleasure! I'm Link, nice to meet you! I absolutely love your ...... at Celtic Well, I really like your coaching style at the Bulldogs, and I'm actually one of your fans. Link shook Stevens' hand very warmly.

George on the side looked disdainful, and Link just now looked reluctant to get to know others. And now? It smells so good!

"It's a blessing, I didn't expect you to know about me. I also like your style of play, Link. I heard that George is an old classmate of yours, so I wanted to ask you out to meet him. I didn't think you would pay attention to the NCAA games. "Stevens was a bit of a surprise, after all, he wasn't a well-known manager.

Although he led Butler University to create the "Cinderella Myth" last season, he fought against all the giants in the tournament, but in the end he still lost in the finals. Overall, Stevens does have some gaps between him and the real coaches in the NCAA. There are many famous players in the NCAA, but there are only a few famous coaches, and they can be counted on one hand.

Others, may be unknown for a lifetime, and few people know about it. What's more, Stevens is still the kind of head coach who is halfway home.

But Stevens is still too modest here, and he was actually very hot last year. President O'Coma personally called to congratulate him when he reached the finals at Butler University, and he appeared on many talk shows after last season. Although Stevens is not as well-known as an NBA star, he is also a public figure.

"Who in the whole of America doesn't pay attention to the NCAA? And you were also very popular last year, as long as you follow basketball, you know your name. Link is telling a white lie here, because in his previous life, as a Chinese, he only learned about Stevens through the NBA, like most people.

However, Stevens is not yet an NBA head coach, and Link almost missed his mouth just now.

"Hahaha, it seems that we are half an old acquaintance! George, the three of us are destined to meet! ”

"Yes, yes, God dooms. Please, it's hard to rest for a night, and then don't talk about basketball. If you make friends, can't you talk about something else? ”

Link, George and Stevens met for the first time in Indianapolis.

Link is glad he decided to meet George instead of going to the race track with Randolph, otherwise he might have lost a chance to meet his idol. No, now he should call Friend Stevens.

Sometimes, a seemingly inconspicuous decision in life can change a lot in retrospect......
