525: 18 years of moments

On March 25, the eyes of the world were on New York.

Unfortunately, the focus is not on the Brooklyn Nets or the New York Knicks, but on the Memphis Grizzlies in New York.

Before the start of this game, the Grizzlies' reputation and situation can be said to have fallen into a low point of the season.

People say the Grizzlies can't break the record, they say they have to go through a three-game losing streak, and they all say that the Grizzlies will still be eliminated by the Thunder in the end.

However, just as everyone looked down on him, God put on the No. 0 jersey in Memphis.

10 three-pointers, 35 points in the half. Link's jaw-dropping performance allowed the Grizzlies to win the battle of New York with extreme cruelty.

Of course, the possibility of a three-game winning streak is also eliminated.

In the end, Link made 13 three-pointers in this game, breaking the league record.

This record has also become a topic of conversation among fans.

Sitting in a small boat floating on the lake, Link and Rachel snuggled together.

It's the end of March, and although the weather hasn't completely warmed up, the breath of winter has really passed.

The warm sun shines on the face and is very pleasant. The two of them don't know how long they've been floating on the boat, but no one wants to break this state of being undisturbed.

"Rachel, it's almost noon. Are you sure you're going to do this interview? Link looked at his watch, it was getting late.

"Damn, don't talk about the interview, Link." Rachel rolled over, her head resting on Link's chest.

"You're the only journalist who knows where I live now, and everyone else will be shocked to know how this interview went." Link joked that Rachel had come to Link's house this morning under the guise of "conducting an interview".

However, as always, they did a lot of things, but there were no interviews.

"So do you like this kind of interview? Mr. Link. ”

"Well, I love it."

"You like it for all journalists?"

"No, Rachel only. Demita. ”

Rachel smiled sweetly, then picked up Link's palm.

Although Rachel also plays basketball, she can even catch the ball with one hand! However, compared to Link, Rachel's hands are simply small.

"Link, what an amazing pair of hands to hit 13 three-pointers in a game." Rachel scrutinized it, and to be honest, Rachel was shocked when she heard the news of Link's record-breaking yesterday.

"You don't have to be magical, you just have to work hard. You may not believe it, but the guy who broke the NBA record for three-point shooting in a single game also lost to a female college student while playing a shooting machine in the park. ”

"Hehe, then she should be quite strong!" Rachel is proud, that female college student is her!

"yes, it's strong. By the way, I heard, you're going to participate in an ESPN basketball show? Link did the math, and it's 2013 now. There is only one year left before Rachel is completely popular in the United States.

"I didn't expect that the superstar who is third in the MVP list still cares about me."

"Third? I'm fourth, and Anthony is third. ”

"No, I think after yesterday's game, you should be ahead of Anthony. So, you've seen the trailer? The trailer Rachel is talking about is the trailer for ESPN's new show.

The show, like most NBA shows, will be hosted by Rachel with a retired player and chat about the week's games and anecdotes.

The difference is that Rachel will go into the training camps of each team or various basketball games in each issue, and play and interact with the stars in person.

Although this show only released a trailer, it has become a lot of attention because of Rachel's existence.

And there is still a suspense in this show, that is, the role of the retired player, which has not yet been announced. Speculation about this role is widely debated.

Some people say that this person will be O'Neill, and the show may make a combination of Beauty and the Beast to create a gimmick. Of course, this speculation is completely unreasonable, because O'Neal's contract has not expired, and it is impossible to jump to ESPN.

Some people also say that it will be Pippen who will come to participate in the show, after all, Pi Erye has really lacked money over the years, and he will be on the show if there is a show.

Link was also curious, so he simply asked the person directly, "I saw the trailer, this show should be very popular." But who is your partner? Have you received any messages? ”

"Speaking of my partner...... Taili has not yet confirmed. But the news I do know is that they already have a deep connection with your idol. ”

"My idol?"

"You're not Grant. Hill fans? Now, Hill is the closest to the show. ”

"Grant. Hill? He's not a retired footballer. As soon as he said this, Link immediately reacted. In the original history, this was Grant. Hill is in the last year of his professional career!

"It's grapevine, and Hill is said to be planning to retire. After all, he's been in the league for 18 years. Moreover, they are almost 41 years old. If nothing else, he should announce his retirement in the summer. After retiring, he will immediately join the show. What do you think? Being able to see me and your idol in one show at the same time, this show is simply tailor-made for you. ”

Link nodded, Hill was a good guy, Rachel was partnered with him, and Link was relieved.

Before he knew it, Link was about to experience Hill's retirement again, and he was really a little reluctant.

In the past, as a fan, Link had no chance to contact idols at all. But now in three years in the NBA, Link finds himself still not in good contact with Hill.

I have to say that this is a very regrettable thing.

"Let's go Rachel, after lunch, it's time for me to go to the training gym, let's row back." Link looked up and picked up the oars.

"Well, the interview thing...... Let's do it on the phone, haha. ”

As Link and Rachel control the oars to swing, the boat moves as well.

Grant. Hill, 18-year career. There have been brilliance, and there have been loneliness.

Link has changed a lot of things since he became a professional player, but there are also many things that can't be changed. For example, you can't change Grant. Hill's career trajectory. In the end, Hill can only be a "prince of the NBA who failed to ascend the throne".

Sometimes, though, regret can make someone's resume greater.

Link can't control everyone's fate, and he can only watch as Hill regrets leaving the place he fought for 18 years, leaving the place that almost cost him his life.

However, Link is at least in control of his own destiny.

Hill is gone, and Link becomes the only "Hill" in the league.

He'll take that power with him to strike at things that Hill has never done but dreams of.

"Link?" As the boat was about to slide to shore, Rachel called Link.

"Huh?"

"You're thinking about basketball again."

"Uh...... How do you know. "Link, is a woman's intuition so accurate?

"Just look at your expression, your focused expression never deceives."

A focused expression, Rachel was impressed. A few days ago, she went to the Clippers game for an interview, and before the game, Rachel took a picture of Hill who was practicing his shooting.

Even though this was Hill's last season, it was just an ordinary regular season.

But in the photo, Hill's focused expression when he practiced shooting reminded Rachel of Link.

From that moment on, Rachel remembered Link's focused expression when he played. And just now, this expression appeared.

"You can still read micro-expressions, it seems that I can't lie in front of you in the future."

"It's good to know, go sit down, athletic boy, I'll make you lunch."

"What about me?" Link jumped out of the boat, pulled it to the shore, and tied the rope.

"You? Think about how to break the record. Don't regret your career, Link. 18 years, it's just a snap of a finger. ”

Link feels very warm, it is not easy to find a girl who understands herself and basketball.
