Chris. Wallace and Robert. Pera has had a very leisurely season because the Grizzlies are just so good.

The more sparse the team, the busier the general manager and team owner become. Because they've got to think about how to make the team stronger, they've got to think about the summer draft, transfers, signings. Even, you have to consider the change in management itself.

The worse the team, the more messy it is. For example, this season's Lakers and Knicks, these two ancient teams are basically obsessed with the management's own "palace fight" this season, and they have no intention of changing the team.

So, both the Lakers and the Knicks have both overturned this year. One has only been on the back foot in the West for just a few years, while the other has gone from second in the East last season to eighth in the East.

The Grizzlies obviously don't have such troubles, because the team has a good record, so everything is calm. They just need to stabilize the Grizzlies' current roster to ensure that the Grizzlies remain the best team in the league.

So much so that Pera, the boss, was so bored some time ago that he had to make a bet with Jordan to pass the time. It's just that I didn't expect to go to the appointment with the determination to lose, but I won a lot of money because of Link.

The Grizzlies' only important task this summer is to re-sign Link. For now, it's only a matter of time before the renewal is successful. Link didn't want to leave Memphis, and Pera was willing to offer Link the highest price.

At this point, the Grizzlies are much more worry-free than the Heat. Because the Heat, they don't even know if they can keep LeBron this summer.

So, Grizzlies management is probably one of the most unleash of the 30 teams this season.

But no matter how idle you are, it's not completely idle to do. As April approaches, the NCAA competition is coming to an end. Teams are also starting to look for targets for this year's draft.

It's a happy worry that the Grizzlies, as always, won't be able to get a high draft pick this year, but that doesn't mean the draft can be forfeited, especially if the Grizzlies have identified several interesting targets.

"What's the catch?" Robert. Pera sees Chris. Wallace walked in and asked bluntly.

The Grizzlies general manager came today to report on several potential draft targets.

"There are quite a few, as Link said, there are a lot of interesting players outside of the NCAA." Wallace held himself up and sat down across from Pera.

"I looked at a lot of international players and found that in recent years we have a lot of good seedlings of international players available. And most crucially, most of them will not be drafted by other teams in a better position. ”

Pera nodded and motioned for Wallace to start reporting. If there's one team in the league that doesn't underestimate an international player with the least underpick, it's the Memphis Grizzlies.

After all, last season's Defensive Player of the Year, Mark Brown. Gasol was also selected in the second round. It turns out that low-pick international players have a strong sense of plasticity when they enter the NBA. And don't forget, Link, the Grizzlies' current mainstay, was a draft loser.

Therefore, for the Grizzlies, even a low draft pick is very worthy of serious scrutiny.

Wallace then flipped through the information and began to report to Pera.

"Currently plays for Nemaria of Turkish club Fenerbahçeurco. Bjelica is one of the most versatile players in Europe right now. He has the potential to win the Europa League MVP this season, but at 2.08 meters tall, he has the technical characteristics of a small forward. He's an all-around player with a great basketball IQ and a consistent shooter around whom you can do pick-and-roll and cut-and-roll combinations. His understanding of the game has helped him on both ends of the floor, as he can grab most rebounds and then efficiently turn them into scoring for his teammates. If he is cultivated more, God knows if he will become the European version of Kevin. Durant. The signing rights are currently in the hands of the Timberwolves, but it won't be too difficult if a trade is sought. ”

"The other guy, Mario who currently plays for Barcelona. Hezonia, this kid is extremely athletic, but at the same time he is fearless, and his inner arrogance is comparable to that of American players. Of course, on the surface he didn't score much in the Europa League, but his ball control and shooting ability were all in everyone's eyes. Do you know what people call him? Croatian Kobe! However, he won't be able to participate in the draft until next year. ”

Chris. Wallace said, Robert. Pera listened intently. It stands to reason that the team owner doesn't have to worry about these things, and the general manager can do these things alone. But Pera, as a young owner, is more than willing to be personally involved in the construction of the team.

Wallace said several people, what European Durant, Croatian Kobe Bryant, these bluffing titles, also made Pera stunned.

"The last player, Nikolai. Jokic currently plays in the Italian league. As a big man, this guy's passing talent is unmatched with his sense of position and ball on the field. This is especially important for his age. But he looked...... To be honest, and Mark of the year. Gasol is similar. He didn't look like a professional footballer. His athleticism may not fit into the NBA game. ”

Wallace didn't want to add Jokic to the watch list, because in an era where the pace is getting faster and the center has to follow the smaller guys. A "big fortress" like Jokic is just too outdated.

However, in line with the principle of "leaving no possibility to pass", Wallace finally decided to add Jokic in.

As everyone knows, after listening to Jokic's report, Robert. Pera frowned, "Nikolai. Jokic? I think I've heard Link mention that guy. ”

"Really? Link also watches the Italian league? I thought he was more focused on the NCAA. Speaking of the NCAA, last night was a big upset. Kansas, who has Wiggins and Embiid, actually lost to Stanford University, the No. 10 seed, and this game is estimated to have caused many people to lose money. ”

"yes, but that's the beauty of March Madness." Pera smiled, and sure enough, it was the NCAA that was easier to seduce the common topic.

When Randolph came to the gym in the morning, it was as if he had lost last night.

He pulled his face and wrote all his displeasure on his face. Although it wasn't he who lost yesterday, he lost thousands of dollars as a result.

With the exception of Randolph, most of the Grizzlies also lost money. And Link and Nick. Yang became the biggest winner of this gamble.

Link was also very speechless when he learned the result of the game the next day, he was just buying it indiscriminately, and he could really win...... March Madness, it's crazy. Inadvertently, Link earned tens of thousands of dollars overnight.

"Link, you must have secretly studied the game! Although superficially indifferent to this game, it must have been studied for a long time, right!? Otherwise, you wouldn't be that sure! ”

In the face of Randolph's accusations, Link is quite innocent. There are two teams in total, and with a 50% chance, it's normal to guess correctly.

"Okay, is it that hard to admit that you're unlucky? Don't be discouraged, it's Kansas who loses, not you. Tonight, I'll let you win it back. Link patted Randolph on the shoulder, bad luck, drinking cold water and stuffing his teeth, this is all fate!

So that night, the Grizzlies easily defeated the incoming Timberwolves 109-92 at home. Against a team with a win rate of just 50 percent, the Grizzlies won.

Link scored just 22 points in the game but dished out 12 assists to make it his seventh straight double-double. And most of them were given to Randolph.

Randolph played a cool game today, facing Lefou, who had no intention of defending, Randolph ate the cake and ate the support, and scored a team-high 26 points, which disgraced Lefou, who only scored 16 points and shot only 33% from the field.

After the game, Randolph finally smiled again.

"Zach, what do you think of this game? Why do you have such a sudden outburst without warning? "Journalists were very curious about Randolph's outburst.

But Randolph knew that he was able to score so many points today because Link attracted the defence and always got the ball to himself.

So, Randolph shrugged his shoulders in front of the camera, "This is Link's great power, really." Whether it's betting or playing, Link is top-notch. ”

64-6, God knows how long the Grizzlies' winning streak will last this time.
