On June 13, 2011, the Dallas Mavericks defeated the Miami Heat again on the road. The victory in this game allowed the Dallas Mavericks to lift the first NBA championship trophy in NBA history.

Dirk. Nowitzki cried tears of joy after the game, and he went to the players' tunnel as soon as it was over, and later admitted that he had gone to cry secretly.

The Germans finally got up from where they fell. In 2006, the Mavericks were overturned by the Heat with a 2-0 lead and lost the championship. Five years later, Nowitzki led the team to a successful revenge and lifted the belated O'Brien Cup. At the same time, he finally swept away his infamy as a "soft egg".

The Heat Triumvirate, who originally thought they would dominate the league, made it to the Finals, but "unexpectedly" lost to the Mavericks, which undoubtedly surprised most people. The all-powerful LeBron. James, who averaged just 17 points per game during the Finals, has struggled and been in a slump this series like never before.

The Mavericks used 6 games to take out the Heat, and Nowitzki played superbly in the Finals, even with a high fever, he still invested in key shots steadily.

Of course, Bosh was very unconvinced, "When he was on the court, no one noticed that he was sick, and no one pointed out that he had a fever. ”

What Bosh means is that what he plays with illness is completely fictional by the media and fans.

It was as if it was glorious to be defeated by Nowitzki, who did not have a fever......

Nowitzki has been a god in this campaign, and his performances this season are fully worthy of the title of "superstar".

At this point, the 2010-2011 season officially ushered in the finale. In the end, the Heat's Big Three could only go home with an Eastern Conference championship in their arms, which was really devastating......

After the finals, the Mavericks and Nowitzki undoubtedly became the object of everyone's heated discussion. After all, on paper, the Mavericks don't seem to be as luxurious as the Heat, who are sitting on the Big Three.

Such a comparison undoubtedly makes the Mavericks' championship more golden. Of course, this also highlights the good quality of the Mavericks players.

However, after the finals, someone discovered another interesting thing.

"This season's Mavericks are so strong, and Nowitzki this season is so superb. So, what level is the grizzly bear that drives the calf into a corner? After all, even the Miami Heat can only win two games against the Mavericks. The Grizzlies, on the other hand, also won two games against the Mavericks. ”

As soon as this topic came out, it detonated the entire circle of public opinion. Inexplicably, the Memphis Grizzlies are on fire again half a month after being eliminated.

After all, they are rising just too fast. Even after the finals, their competition with the Mavericks in the Western Conference Finals was still impressive.

The day after the finals, Jeff. Austin visited Link. It's going to be a long summer, so Austin found Link as soon as the season ended, and the holiday plans had to be planned early.

"As you wished, you were eliminated by this year's championship." Jeff. As soon as Austin saw Link, he said this.

"Uh...... What do you mean by what I want? If I could, I'd definitely rather be the champion than be beaten by the champion. Link was speechless, and Austen's cold jokes sometimes really didn't make people laugh.

But on second thought, this year's Grizzlies are really strong enough. In the original history, the Grizzlies didn't even pass the Thunder level. But after having their own, the Grizzlies defeated the Thunder 4-2 this year and topped the Spurs 4-1, both of which were better than the original history.

In the end, although they lost 4-2 to the Mavericks, except for the first game, the Mavericks did not have any games that were easy. In this way, the Grizzlies' performance is basically the same as the Heat in the Finals.

But you have to know that the Grizzlies don't have a big three.

Although it is still unwilling to be eliminated by the championship, at least it is not a shame. Moreover, it also makes the grizzly bears more hopeful.

"Okay, don't think about the championship, what have you been doing these last few days?" Austin waved his hand, and he was more interested in Link's life in the past few days since the offseason than the championship.

"I didn't do anything, I studied the draft list." Link pursed his lips and began to reminisce about his boring vacation.

Recently, Link looked at the 2011 draft roster. After all, he is the one who opened the "eye in the sky", and even the best scouts in the world are not as strong as Link in their ability to predict whether a rookie will become a talent.

Although the Grizzlies don't have a first-round pick this year, it shouldn't be difficult to trade for a 30th pick. Who can be selected for the 30th pick? Jimmy. Butler! Who would have thought that this guy, who was completely unnoticed, would become a superstar in the future?

But if Link runs over and tells Chris directly. Wallace, let him trade a 30th pick and then pick a player who is not well known...... Chris. Wallace probably thought Link was crazy.

If a player's status on a team is high enough, he can indeed influence the selection of the team's draft. He can know who his helper is, and the team will definitely be obedient.

But it's clear that Link doesn't have such a status now. Not to mention him, even Randolph and Conley and others have absolutely no such rights. The Grizzlies have had some unsuccessful drafts in recent years, with Tabit in front and Mayo in the back. finally chose a reliable Henry, and turned out to be a glass man.

So, the Grizzlies will be strict about their selection in the draft and can't take a player's advice entirely.

Link now only hopes that he will be better in the next few seasons, and when his status with the Grizzlies is absolutely high, his "eye in the sky" will be able to play a role in the draft.

As for the 30th pick in the second round...... Isaiah. Thomas is indeed inspirational, but the Grizzlies already have Conley, and Thomas is here to make no difference. Therefore, Link simply did not mention the suggestion of a second-round draft.

In summary, Link can only live up to his responsibilities as a player now. Interfering with team personnel changes? Involved in team building? Link hasn't reached that level yet, so he has to keep trying!

"And then...... And Randolph went fishing a few times, and Tony. Aaron went for a few drinks. And then, that's it. ”

In two sentences, Link summed up his holiday life in the past few days. Jeff. Austin shook his head, it was really boring!

"Let's get down to business, we've been unlucky this year, because as things stand, there is a good chance that the collective bargaining will break down. If it does eventually break down, then the free agent market may not open as scheduled. There is no doubt that this will affect our signing. ”

"Hmm...... It's going to break down, and if we could talk about it, we would have agreed a long time ago. Link pouted, if history is not wrong, this year's NBA will not start until the end of December because of the shutdown. Jeff. Austin was right, it was going to be a long vacation.

"You're a restricted free agent right now, so the Grizzlies will still be able to make you a qualifying offer until the free agent market opens. The maximum amount of the qualification offer can only be 125% of last season's salary, which is very low and obviously not in line with your strength. But don't worry, it's just a Grizzlies' protection. Giving you a qualifying offer is just so that the Grizzlies can match the offers of other teams. ”

"Well, I'm not too worried about the signing." Link nodded, Battier said it well, unless the grizzly bear is stupid, it is impossible to let himself go easily. This bit of self-confidence, Link still has.

"Don't worry about it, don't worry about it, you should always care, right? Aren't you curious, how big of a contract will the Grizzlies give you? Let me start by saying that Randolph's annual salary this season is 14.5 million. By this standard, how much do you think a grizzly bear can give you in a year? Austin sold off, but Link wasn't surprised by the numbers.

As a person who has crossed over from 2019, Link has seen an annual salary of more than 30 million a year. Players who are still disliked after taking 30 million a year, Link has also seen. The annual salary of more than 10 million in this era doesn't sound so domineering.

However, when he thought that the more than 10 million was put in his own pocket, Link was still a little excited. That's more than $10 million! That's 10 times this year's salary! What can 10 million do? Do whoever you want!

No, you can do whatever you want......

"Hmm...... Give me 14 million a year? Link thought to himself, Randolph is so powerful now, he shouldn't be higher than Randolph.

"You are so bold, the champion Wall has only 24 million rookie contracts for four years, and you want to get 14 million in a year?"

"Hehe, I guessed." Link scratched his head, is it really too tall?

"The Grizzlies are willing to offer you a three-year, $45 million contract, which is 15 million a year. You guessed wrong, Link. ”

Link looked at Jeff in surprise. Austin, it turns out that I guessed low!

Austin, this guy, shows off his negotiation ability, it's really a set!
