806: Absolutely
"Hey, you're drooling on the trophy!"
A shout jolted Link from his sleep.
Link opened his eyes and looked around in a panic to find himself holding the O'Brien Cup in his arms, and he let out a sigh of relief.
Although this is not the third championship trophy in the dream, it is better than opening your eyes and finding that there are no farts.
After sobering up, Link hurriedly took a sip of saliva, and it was really dripping down!
Randolph, who woke Link up, simply snatched the trophy from Link's arms and carefully began to wipe it.
Looking at Randolph's serious appearance, Link couldn't help but grin, "I've never seen you so careful. ”
"Can you not be careful? Anyone can have this thing? I said, you should really look in the mirror. Look at yourself, is FMVP as sloppy as you? ”
Link waved his hand, he didn't have to look in the mirror to know how scruffy he looked now.
Last night, in the locker room of the American Airlines Center, the Grizzlies players played a "champagne shootout" as usual.
But unlike last year, Link was half-dead in the locker room.
After going to a nightclub, a group of people who were crazy about it even mixed several kinds of wine together, which accelerated Link's drunken progress.
As a result, Link woke up this morning with no idea how he had come back!
And because he drank too much, Link had a splitting headache.
Later, I asked Iguodala Link and learned that Rachel took care of Link until late after the party yesterday and left. If Rachel hadn't been there, Link would have woken up by the toilet today.
After all, everyone else is so drunk that they can't even take care of themselves.
After hearing the news, Link regretted it! After winning the championship last year, I drank too much, and as a result, I missed the opportunity to spend the night with Rachel.
Not only did I drink too much this year, but I also caused people to take care of themselves for so long and go back alone.
Thinking of this, Link couldn't help but shake his head. If he can really win the championship next year, he can't get drunk anymore!
Since it was a Grizzlies team flight, Rachel didn't travel with Link. Soon, though, they'll meet in Memphis. Link decided that he would have to thank the people when the time came.
At this moment, the fuselage suddenly became bumpy. Then, the sweet voice of the flight attendant appeared on the radio, "Passengers, our plane is starting to descend, please return to your seats and fasten your seat belts." ”
The jolting of the fuselage and the sound of the stewardess woke most of the players, who were asleep like Link, one after another.
Everyone was staring out the window blankly, most of them were as drunk as Link had been last night.
"The plane is descending? Are we coming? "Jimmy. Butler still can't open his eyes, and he is a far cry from the defensive titan on the basketball court.
"Damn...... I feel my stomach churning, no, give me a vomit bag...... "Nick. Yang hugged the bag and went live directly.
Randolph, who was holding the championship trophy, looked at everyone and was simply embarrassed! If this scene is seen by reporters and fans, the majesty of the defending champion will be gone!
In the end, Randolph acted like a housekeeper and urged everyone to wash their faces and get dressed. Finally, before the plane landed, the Grizzlies players were back to their old glory.
Randolph wasn't very serious most of the time, but whenever he did, he was always very efficient.
Finally, at two o'clock in the afternoon, the plane officially landed, and the Grizzlies players returned to Memphis soil. However, the plane had to taxi down the runway for a while.
So, just now Robert who had been sitting at the front. Pera walked over to Link and sat down next to Link, seemingly wanting to take advantage of this time to say something to Link.
"How's last night's champagne? Are you still satisfied? Pera smiled at Link, and the champagne that the players squandered last night, just like last night, cost Pera a lot of money.
Of course, Pera thinks it's just a small amount of feedback to the players. Compared to what the players gave him, his little champagne was nothing to mention.
"Satisfied, satisfied, so satisfied, so satisfied that I'm still dizzy." As soon as Link finished speaking, he heard Nick in the back row. The sound of Yang vomiting again......
"Well," Pera couldn't help but look back and laugh, "it does seem to be satisfied." ”
"What's wrong, Robert? You're not trying to ask me what advice I have for a championship parade, are you? You and Wallace can just take the idea, and everyone will have a good time. Link knew that he still had a lot of say in front of Pera.
There are many things that are obviously not qualified to be involved as a player, and Pera will ask Link's opinion. For example, signings and drafts. Although it was Pera and Wallace who made the final decision, at least Link had the right to participate and discuss.
That's a lot of authority for a player.
Pera followed through on his original promise, and he truly made the Grizzlies Link's team.
But today, Pera didn't come here.
"No, no, don't bother with the championship parade, Wallace and I will take care of everything. I'm just here to ask, when are you going to talk about the renewal? Of course, I won't rush you. I'll wait until you're well rested and then talk slowly, but ......"
"Hahaha, that's what happened. Don't worry, Pera, we can even reach an agreement tomorrow in advance, and we will officially sign as soon as the free agent market opens. I'm not going anywhere, I'm not going to be in contact with any other team. We've been on the same page for a long time, haven't we? Link patted Pera on the shoulder, and he and Pera are now like Dirk and Cuban, and the level of trust between the two is very high.
"Hmm...... I just wanted to confirm. Besides, aren't you bargaining with me? I'll give you 5 million a year, and you'll stay in Memphis too? Pera looked at Link playfully.
"It's Austin's job to bargain, and besides, you're not going to give me a chance to bargain at all, are you?"
"It's no fun to joke with you, Link. But you're right, rest assured, I'll be as happy as last night's champagne! ”
"I have no doubt about that, Robert." Link said, stretching out his fist. Pera smiled knowingly, and the two lightly bumped fists.
This may be the fastest and smoothest signing in the league this summer.
Then, the plane finally stopped taxiing, and the flight attendant informed everyone that it was time to get off the plane.
Journalists and fans welcoming the hero home flocked to the scene, and the police responsible for maintaining order struggled to keep the men behind the security line.
When the cabin door opened, the fans were even more uncontrollable.
Randolph stood up and handed the clean championship trophy back to Link, "Well, I've wiped it clean for you." The key man is always the last one to play with the championship trophy, doesn't he? ”
The big black bear winked at Link.
Link suddenly felt extremely warm in his heart, and carefully took the golden cup, "Thank you, Zach. ”
"Thank you, big head, don't mess it up later." With that, Randolph was the first to step off the plane and wave at the fans.
Then came Iguodala, Butler, Miller Sr., Gasol, and Nick Brown shirtless. Yang, Conley......
Every time a player goes down, the fans cheer as hard as they can, and the flashing lights flicker.
When Pera walked out of the cabin, only Link and his O'Brien Cup were left on the plane.
At this time, all the players, fans and reporters standing below are staring at the exit of the cabin, waiting for the protagonist to appear in the finale. Then, I don't know who suddenly started and shouted "MVP".
This shout was out of control. Then, more and more people shouted, and each time they shouted, the voice was twice as loud as before. After a while, the entire airport was filled with shouts of "MVP".
Link looked out the window at everything and at the people who were shouting for him, smiling widely.
Yes, this is his city, how could he be willing to leave?
Link stood up and approached the hatch. The glare of the sun made Link squint slightly, but he quickly got used to it.
Taking a deep breath, Link smiled, lifted the championship trophy and stepped out.
"Boom!" The roar of the mountains and seas suddenly poured into Link's ears, and the black people below were all cheering for him!
Even Link, who was used to seeing big scenes, couldn't help but get goosebumps at this time.
It's a wonderful feeling to be the king of the world.
