Link sat in a dinghy arranged by the local police in Memphis, and everywhere he went, all the houses were submerged in the water, and the car floated like a toy.

Link felt a little unbelievable, as if he had strayed into the filming of the movie.

"Are there any casualties?" Link, who was sitting on the boat, asked casually.

"At the moment we have not received any reports of casualties, our response has been swift and most of the citizens have been evacuated as soon as possible. So, you don't have to worry. ”

Just then, the dinghy passed by a gathering place for victims. Some of the victims stood waist-high in the water and waited for help, but when they saw Link on the boat, they took the initiative to get out of the way.

"Hey, let's send him to the arena first, and let that kid prepare for the fight!"

"Let's wait for the next boat, we can come to the lifeboat in ten minutes anyway, let him go first. Link, perform well today, we must advance to the Western Conference semifinals! ”

"Come on Link, the flood can't stop us, and neither can the Oklahoma City Thunder!"

The citizens in the water cheered at Link, as if they didn't care about the situation. When the flood came, he was still enthusiastic about basketball, and Link was really a little touched.

"They're going to be fine, right? Otherwise, let's stop and let them be together, I still have enough time. ”

"Hehe, don't worry, there's a lifeboat behind us when we set off. Well, they're already on the boat behind. Rest assured, you, and all the citizens of Memphis, will be fine. Don't be distracted, we'll be out of the waterlogged area soon. The officer smiled at Link, "Are we also involved in the game against the Thunder?" ”

"Of course, without your support, we would not have been able to get to where we are now. To be honest, I was amazed by their enthusiasm. If my house was flooded, I wouldn't care about basketball. ”

"Hahahaha, but after all, this is the most glorious year in the history of Memphis basketball. If you ask the citizens of Memphis whether they are most discussed right now about floods or basketball, you will surely get an answer they have without hesitation – basketball! The flood will recede, and the flood will eventually leave here. But the Grizzlies will continue to play! ”

Link listened to the officer's words, and he had goosebumps all over his body, how many people's hopes they carried. The fans who supported the team when the flood came, and who cared about the team. The fans who cheered for them every night at the Federal Express Arena......

Link suddenly felt that he had a great responsibility, and he and his teammates were not only carrying the hope of the team, but also the city!

It's a small town that no one cares about, and people have a bad impression of it because of the high crime rate. Now, they have the opportunity to raise their eyebrows in the United States with basketball, can they not support it?

Link looked up slightly, and saw a huge poster of himself on a tall building not far away.

The poster is what Link looks like when he breaks through with the dribble, and next to him, there are a few big words written on it, "Let's make history together!" ”

Link smiled, and he instantly felt that the small city of Memphis was so cute.

At first, Link just liked the Grizzlies, but now, he also finds himself in a "tough" city where citizens voluntarily turn in their guns and get free tickets.

Sometimes, these smaller cities may have a sense of warmth that a cosmopolitan city like New York or Los Angeles doesn't have.

"Link, let's get out of the waterlogged area! My colleague will pick you up at the front, but you'll have to walk a little bit through the water. Don't worry, the water here only floods to the calves and you'll be fine! ”

"Thank you, I haven't asked you what your name is, officer." Link stood up, and at this time, outside the waterlogged area, there were already many Memphis citizens cheering for Link.

"It doesn't matter what my name is, it's important that I win for us, Link! Defeat the Thunder and show those who look down on us that we can win the series too! With that, the officer stood up and shook Link's hand.

"I'll do my best, for Memphis!"

"That's right, for Memphis!"

With that, Link jumped into the water and finally "landed" after wading through the calf-down water for a while. As the police officer just said, a police car specially prepared for Link is ready to leave at any time!

Link was surrounded by cheering Memphis fans, whose enthusiasm was not extinguished by the flood.

Link walked over to the car door and looked around. Then, he raised his right hand and gave a thumbs up to everyone, "Neither the flood nor the thunder can stop us!" Because this place in Memphis never bends over! ”

"Link! Link! Link! Link! Link! ......" shouted throughout the streets, this was not a grizzly and link fight, but a battle of the fate of the entire city.

When Randolph saw Link in the gym, he almost burst out laughing.

Link rolled up his trouser legs, barefoot, and his pants were still half wet. The clean clothes were also covered in mud, and he looked like an old farmer who had just come out of the field.

"Where have you been? Is the crocodile poaching gone!? Randolph couldn't help laughing, but walked up and teased him.

"I've got a flood, Zach!"

"Floods? No, your house is quite high. ”

"My house is on high ground, and the road from my house to the stadium is not high!" Instead of rambling with Randolph, Link went straight into the dressing room to change his jersey.

"So you swam here?" Randolph felt that things were getting more and more bizarre.

"No, I came by boat, man. The local police assisted me through the waterlogged area and thankfully I wasn't late. Zach, are you ready today? You can't afford to hit a disgraceful 25% of the time. ”

"Me? Don't worry about me, I never let any opportunity slip in front of me. ”

"Bullshit, if you can grasp the chance to kill in the previous game, we won't have to play overtime." Link responded with a smile and walked into the locker room.

"Damn, it's too cheap!"

Seeing Randolph and Link bickering, Hollins was relieved a lot. For now, at least, the mentality of the players has not been affected too much by the 27-point defeat in the last game.

In today's game, the Thunder will definitely fight to the death. It's a battle of perseverance and mentality, and if the players are under too much pressure before the game, they actually lose half of the game.

The importance of this game is self-evident to the Grizzlies players, and even O.J. Mayo went to the training gym early today to warm up.

Since the start of the series, Hollins and Brooks have not changed lineups. But today, in order to win, Hollins decided he had to come up with something different.

As long as you can catch the Thunder off guard, that's enough.

There is no need to return to Oklahoma City!

"Memphis flooded, but that didn't dampen the enthusiasm of Grizzlies fans! Instead, they turned the Federal Express Arena into a flood of passion! Welcome to Memphis, I'm Houbi. Brown, here will be the game of Game 6 between the Thunder and Grizzlies in the first round of the playoffs! ”

Hubi. As soon as Brown entered the stadium, he was blown away by the cheers of the Memphis fans. As the former coach of the Grizzlies, Hubi. Brown can vouch for it, this team has never been so popular!

Every team has generations of golden people. The Lakers are the "showtime" led by the Magic, and the invincible "OK combination".

The Celtics have a lot of strong players from the Bird era and a championship-winning lineup from the Big Three.

And for the Grizzlies, their first generation of golden characters are all here!

"Attack, we have to be the first to attack and establish an advantage at the beginning of today! I don't want to play extra time anymore, and I don't want to be dragged to the end again. Before they're ready, let's open the score! Then, the game will be ready to get into our rhythm! Hollins nervously laid out on the sidelines, Link nodded repeatedly, and he listened carefully to every word the manager said.

At the urging of the referees, the Grizzlies' starting five tigers stepped onto the court. Link pointed to the stands, and this simple action alone had already caused a commotion in the stands.

Linkmo is on his feet, victory is in sight, and the Thunder can't drag the game back to Russian City! He had made up his mind that he would fight for the city.

Just as the two sides were about to scramble, the fans and commentators were stunned because they found out that the Grizzlies had actually changed lineups!

"O.J. Mayo, who has been on the bench for months, is back in the starting line-up in this crucial battle! Oh my god, Coach Hollins is so bold! What exactly does he think!? "Hubby. Brown stood up excitedly, after all, this could be a playoff change!

Mayo glanced at Link, who just nodded at him.

Link thinks that if all goes well, this move should still be quite a surprise.
