With a romantic proposal, of course, you have to have the victory of the game as a foil.

At home, the Grizzlies faced desperate resistance from the Trail Blazers. But in the end, the grizzly bear gritted his teeth and slapped the Trailblazers, the "unbeatable little strong", to death.

Today, the Trail Blazers played very hard. After a six-game winning streak in mid-December, the Trail Blazers now have a 16-15 record and are on the verge of breaking into the top eight in the West.

As a team that was a powerhouse in the West in previous seasons, the Trail Blazers naturally hope that they can rise to the top of the playoffs as soon as possible. The cost of a complete mess is too great for every team to accept.

So, for the Trail Blazers, they have to do their best to win every game, even against the Grizzlies, who have the best record in the league.

As soon as it opened, Wesley. Matthews hit Link in the face with two three-pointers. Also undrafted, Matthews seemed very excited about Link. These two three-pointers also show the determination of the Trail Blazers to fight every game.

After that, Lillard broke through and successfully attacked the basket.

Aldridge made a steady jump shot from mid-range, playing Randolph without temper, and the Trail Blazers started the game 10-2!

But after the timeout, the Grizzlies came to their senses. Link continued to use the screen to hit Matthews, and he pressed Matthews closely on the defensive end, making it impossible for him to make an easy jumper.

Against Lillard, Conley didn't let go. As a result, the still young No. 0 guard began to play like crazy on the outside.

As for Aldridge, Stevens directly asked Gasol to defend him. The Trail Blazers' starting center is 2.06 meters J.J. Hickson, who played power forward when he first entered the industry. Therefore, letting Randolph switch to defend Hickson will not suffer too much in terms of height.

As a result, it will not be so easy for Aldridge to score on the head of Gasol, who is 2.16m tall and has excellent defense.

In the following games, the Grizzlies played steadily all the way. In the last 58 seconds of the game, the Grizzlies used their tough defense to keep a clean sheet against the Trail Blazers, and the Trail Blazers did not score a point in the most crucial 58 seconds!

In the end, the Grizzlies won the game 96-88 at home.

Although it was not a hearty victory, at least it was also for Tony. Aaron's marriage proposal came to a successful conclusion.

Link finished the game with 23 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists, including 5 of 8 three-pointers, and a three-point shooting rate of 62.5%! It's kind of a shot on his face as soon as he comes up, and Matthews responds.

After the game, Link, who won the game and had just won the monthly and All-Star starting spots, overshadowed Tony in popularity. Aaron has become the most popular target for journalists.

During the interview, Link blessed Tony. Allen, at the same time, said that he will continue to work hard to keep the Grizzlies on the climb.

After the interview, Link quickly took a shower and ran out of the locker room before his teammates could react.

Tonight, he's got a date.

"I didn't expect Tony. Aaron is actually a tender iron man, and they are so happy tonight. ”

Walking on the banks of the Mississippi River, the breeze gently ruffled Rachel's hair. She brushed her hair behind her ears and looked at the tall man beside her.

At this point, there is only a gap between them.

"When I gave you the ring today, I found that you seemed to be ...... Particularly excited? Link asked tentatively, and the wind by the river made him wrap his coat tightly.

"Of course! Every girl loves those things! Rachel didn't tell the truth, and it's true that every girl loves those jewelry.

But in fact, the thing is not the point, the point is, whose mind is it.

"Hmm...... But I see that you obviously don't like these things. ”

"That's because...... Work needs, yes, work needs. When do you have time tomorrow, we did the interview. ”

"No, I've just finished the game, can you stop talking about work for now. By the way, Rachel, this year's All-Star is held in Houston, are you familiar with Houston? Anyway, I'm not busy with this year's All-Star Game, otherwise ...... Let's find a place to play in Houston. ”

This year's All-Star Weekend, Link was indeed a rare time to spare. Last season, he had to compete in the Three-Point Contest, the Rookie Game and the All-Star Game, and he had three days in a row.

But this year, Link is no longer a rookie. The three-point contest has already broken records, and it's no fun to participate again. So, this year's All-Star Weekend, Link only needs to play on the last day.

The rest of the time, with the exception of business activities, Link is free to distribute.

"Well, of course I'm going to the All-Star Weekend. But didn't you play for the Rockets before? You're probably tired of Houston. ”

"Forget it, I don't know anything about Houston except for the stretch from Toyota Center to home. That's it, see you in Houston this All-Star Weekend! ”

"Haha, you're probably the first player in NBA history to ask a reporter out, but not for work. In the face of reporters, it is too late for others to hide. Rachel slowly approached Link until their shoulders and arms were next to each other.

"Maybe it's because I didn't treat you as a journalist." Link faintly touched Rachel's hand.

"And what do you think of me?"

"Friends, of course."

I don't know why, Rachel felt a little lost when she heard this answer. But in the next second, Rachel felt her cold hands suddenly warm.

Link grabbed her hand, but his face still looked like nothing had happened.

Rachel smiled, it turned out that Link was such a character in this regard. No wonder, like a piece of wood.

He can trash-talk with Pierce on the pitch and can rush at George. Carl yelled, "You've got to find someone to defend me." But in life, especially when it comes to facing yourself, you are completely different.

It's like Tony on the pitch. Aaron, when facing his girlfriend, is also a completely different person.

So does this also mean that he is not just an ordinary friend to Link?

Originally, the wind on the banks of the Mississippi River was very biting, but now, Rachel instantly felt that she was warming.

She took Link's hand, and then simply hugged Link's strong arm.

"Let's go back, it's too cold." Rachel said lightly.

"Well, I'll put you in a taxi. Tomorrow, I have time in the morning. In the evening, you have to practice more. So if you want an interview, you can come to me in the morning. ”

"Well, then, can you re-answer my question? Who do you think of me? Just friends? Rachel stopped, stood in front of Link, and put her arms around Link's waist.

At this point, the two were separated by only a few centimeters. Link could clearly see every strand of Rachel's hair, but even so, her skin was still flawless,

"So in the future, would you like to be my girlfriend?"

Link's heart was pounding, and he would never say Tony again. Aaron was stunned.

Before he could react, Link felt his lips touch something soft, and then he realized that the distance between Rachel and him was now 0.

Now, there is no distance between them.
