966:Cole's Key to Victory (5/5)

The result of the first game of the Western Conference Finals was absolutely unexpected.

Although many people think that whether the Grizzlies win or the Warriors win, it is reasonable.

But people would never have imagined that the Grizzlies would win the game with such a crushing attitude.

Curry, Thompson and Green all have poor shooting percentages, compared to Link's triple-doubles and super 5x5 stats.

The Warriors, as the most offensive team in the league, were prevented by scoring only 85 points, and their three-point shooting rate was less than 25%......

From team data to personal data, the Warriors can be said to be blown up in all directions.

Such a competition process must have caught many people by surprise.

After this game, the Grizzlies players relaxed a lot.

In the past few days, everyone on the Grizzlies team has been immersed in intense training and preparation. But now, when their efforts have come to fruition, everyone can finally catch their breath.

After the first game, there was a two-day break between the second game of the series. In both days, Joggle decided to focus on recovery and adjustment.

Training is important, but the two teams are in close proximity, and most of the comparison is the accumulation of daily life and previous preparations.

There is not much point in cramming for intensive training, and no team will win a game just because they suddenly start training hard the day before the game.

As a result, the Grizzlies' training volume is much lower than in the previous days.

In the training hall the day after the game, every Grizzlies player was in a good mood.

After all, from the moment you open your eyes today, you can see an overwhelming pile of news and videos praising the Grizzlies.

The only one who is not in a good mood is Whiteside, because the best rookie team announced today makes him feel a little regretful.

Early this morning, the NBA officially announced the list of the best rookie team in the 14-15 season.

There is no doubt that Whiteside's name will not appear on it. Because strictly speaking, he entered the league in the same year as Link, and he has long been out of the category of rookies.

Although in the first two years of the NBA, Whiteside only played a total of 17 times, averaging only 4 minutes per game. Then it disappeared in the middle for two whole years, and it wasn't until this year that it shone in the grizzlies.

In the eyes of many, this season is more like Whiteside's first season in the NBA, which is more like his rookie season in the true sense of the word.

But it can't be helped, according to the rules of the NBA, Whiteside has already played before. Whether it's a game or a minute, he doesn't qualify for the All-Rookie team right now.

So, there was no way, Whiteside could only watch Norris of the 76ers. Knoll was named to the Rookie of the Year team as a center, but he wasn't mentioned at all.

Whiteside was depressed, he was a man who would struggle with his 2K stats. It's even more surprising that things are now depressed about the All-Rookie team.

But Iguodala soon discovered that it wasn't just Whiteside who had the word "depressed" written all over his face, but Link as well.

"Link, did you play well yesterday?" In between the training breaks, Iguodala leaned over to Link's side to find out what was going on.

"Well, to be honest, I really didn't expect to break the data. I just wanted to embarrass Green and Bogut yesterday, who knew they had broken the playoff record. Seeing someone come up, Link returned to his face.

"yes, yes, you're always unintentionally breaking all sorts of records...... Hey, what's going on? I think you're a little depressed, could it be that you're also worried that you didn't make the All-Rookie team? Iguodala didn't hide it anymore, and he didn't think there was any need to hide it between himself and Link.

So he asked directly.

"Huh? It's nothing, it's just a trivial thing that is not worth mentioning. Link smiled and shook his head, sure enough, he couldn't hide anything from Iguodala.

"Tell me, maybe I can help you."

"Hmm...... Maybe you can really help me. Actually, I was wondering how to choose an engagement ring. Link scratched his head embarrassedly, "I'm a complete layman in this regard. I don't know what brand or style, I don't know at all. ”

"Huh!? Engagement Rings!? Do you want to propose to Rachel!? Iguodala was taken aback.

But on second thought, Link and Rachel were indeed close to getting married, and Iguodala quickly calmed down.

"Well, when the All-Star was with her, we both seemed to have the idea of starting a new family. I was planning to propose to her this summer, but so far I have no clue about the whole process. ”

Link has not forgotten the winter night in New York a few months ago, and that strong idea has never dissipated since it was born.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect that the omnipotent Link was actually worried about such a thing. But speaking of engagement rings...... You and Rachel met because of basketball, and now, you're both working in basketball. Basketball is the medium that connects you. ”

Iguodala touched her chin and thought about it.

"If you look at it that way, is there anything better than a championship ring?"

"What? A championship ring? You mean, a championship ring to propose? Link's eyes widened, and I have to say, this is really a bold idea.

"Yes, no matter how expensive the rings on the market, they are always available and they are not unique. But championship rings are different, and that thing is unique to each individual even if they are on the same team. Rachel and you both love basketball, and she's going to love rings like that. And, come to think of it, the only woman in the world who can wear your championship ring, that's pretty romantic, isn't it? ”

"Hmm...... It's you, Andrey. But the championship rings won't be awarded until next season's opener, when the summer is over. ”

"So what's the matter, you just need to do it early. Trust me, it's a trifle for him. You just have to say you're here to propose, and Pera will definitely be able to get it for you in no time. ”

Speaking of which, Iguodala patted Link on the shoulder, "And I, all I can help you with is to help you win the championship safely." With a championship, there is a championship ring. Just leave this to me, I'll do my best. ”

Link smiled, Iguodala was really a reliable big brother.

At this point, Jogger blew the whistle in his mouth and the training continued.

The Grizzlies players were in place, and Link put the wedding ring thing aside for the time being.

If you really want to use a championship ring to propose, you have to win the game before you can talk about the ring!

And to win the championship, you have to kick the Warriors out of the tournament first!

Meanwhile, inside the Warriors' practice ground, Steve . Kerr was standing in front of all the Warriors players, his eyes were serious.

"In the last game, we were simply beaten up by fat. I know, all of you want to call back, and so do I, guys. In order to achieve this, I decided to make some changes in the game the day after tomorrow. First, start by changing the starting lineup. ”

"Stephen, Klay, Sean, Harrison and Draymond, next game, a couple of you will start. That's right, I decided to start the next game and start the small lineup in advance. ”

Kerr looked at the five in front of him, and after seeing the Grizzlies beat the Spurs with a small lineup last season, he had been thinking about a plan for a whole year, and it was finally time to put it into practice.

Kerr moved his key to victory, and now it's time to see if it can open the door for the Grizzlies to get in the way of the Finals.
