I couldn't find the protagonist's annual awards ceremony, and sure enough, it was complained about by the fans.

But the fans didn't blame Link, but they all threw the pot on the joke.

Everyone could see that the joke and Link were not against each other. Moreover, the joke about deliberately extending the series in the Grand Finals is really disgusting.

This kind of thing can't even be watched by fans, and the persecuted Link is naturally even more unacceptable.

Therefore, it is reasonable that he does not give face to the joke.

What's more, Link's youngest daughter has just been born and really needs company.

With these two reasons, I really can't say anything if I blame Link for not participating.

On the other hand, the joke is that he made such an award ceremony, except for his gorgeous appearance, he has no use for fart.

The championship and FMVP are out, and what the best rookie and best sixth man have become chicken in an instant.

And it's not just Link who didn't show up.

James, Durant and Curry were also unattended.

This shows that the real superstar simply disdains the heat of this award ceremony. This ceremony is not like the Oscars and awards ceremonies in football, where all the big names are vying to attend.

The ceremony of the NBA is in an embarrassing situation where the big names are disdainful, and the people who go are not the biggest names.

And after this first time, the absence of big names will definitely continue to happen in the future.

The annual awards ceremony of the joke was very different from what he expected.

But in any case, the 16-17 season ended safely. While it may seem like a joke, the season hasn't been without its hassle.

Link and the Grizzlies became the biggest winners of the season, and the NBA also gained one of the most terrifying popular monsters since Jordan.

Championships, FMVPs, Double First Teams, Defensive Player of the Year, MVP plus a variety of awards and league records......

Link's strength is beyond doubt, and all eyes are on him.

Even in the offseason, people still want to see news related to Link.

However, Link still did not show up after the awards ceremony.

This summer, he also deliberately asked Jeff. Austin, tell him not to schedule too many business activities for himself.

All in all, Link's focus this summer is only one – family.

Link first spent a while at home in Memphis, taking care of the two most important women in his life every day in addition to his wife and daughter.

As the season progressed, Link didn't have much time to take care of Rachel. While Rachel was in labor, Link also had to prepare for the playoffs with all his might.

So Link now wants to make up as much as he can.

Make up for the time you can't spend with Rachel during the season.

After Rachel's health is almost recovered, Link officially begins his summer vacation with his daughter and wife.

Even so, it was just a matter of taking my daughter to the nearby parks and zoos.

The Link family hasn't been able to travel long distances this summer, so this year Link didn't go anywhere and stayed in Memphis.

As the clock entered August, the annual Link training camp was finally long overdue.

This year, Link's training camp started a little late, but as always, it invited a number of stars to participate.

In addition to some old faces, there is also Janis. Antetokounmpo, Anthony. Davis and Derek. Ross and other new faces.

Antetokounmpo is a young fan of Link and has also become a quasi-first-list star this season, so it is not surprising that he was invited.

Anthony. After Davis was teammates with Cousins last season, he was invited by Link because of Cousins' relationship and recommendation.

But Rose's arrival was unexpected by many people.

In fact, even Link didn't think about inviting Rose in the first place.

After all, Link and Rose had little personal friendship before. One of the two is in the east and the other is in the west, and the time they meet is really rare. Moreover, the timing of the peak is also just staggered.

Although the two are not hostile to each other, they are not friends.

Link received an unexpected call from Rose a week before the camp began, when he had just joined the Cavaliers for a low price of 2.1 million a year.

Draft champion, youngest MVP...... It's hard to imagine that a player with these two halos will start to get a contract with a near-base salary at the age of less than 30......

Rose made a cordial call to Link, and it was clear on the phone that Rose was eager for the training opportunity.

Ross has heard of the rumors that the players will be reborn after they come out of Link's training camp.

Therefore, he wanted to try again when he was most desperate!

Having already had a breakdown last summer when he learned he was traded by the Bulls.

Last season's lack of performance with the Knicks was the lowest point in Rose's career.

But he still didn't want to give up, he still wanted to rush.

So, he chose to go to Link's training camp to train, hoping to get back into shape.

Link agreed, and there was no reason why he shouldn't.

While the Cavaliers are likely to be the Grizzlies' biggest rival next season, Rose is already a Cavaliers player.

But so what? If Link could really help the roses bloom again, he would be very accomplished.

Of course, the premise is that Link is confident that he can still beat the Cavaliers even though Rose is blooming.

After all, Kelly. Owen has left Cleveland as he did in history and has become a Celtic.

This undoubtedly made the strength of the Cavaliers greatly reduced.

So, Link wasn't afraid to shoot himself in the foot at all.

As the first person in the alliance, if you don't even have this bit of confidence, it will be too cowardly.

Training camp is in full swing in Memphis, and the reason why it is still in Memphis is also very simple - Link can go home immediately after training every day.

This year, Link will hardly stay in the gym on the night.

Every day at 4 p.m., he finishes training on time and rushes home.

As a father, life is indeed different.

In the past, Link was alone, and it didn't matter what time he trained. After training, you can go out with Randolph and them to fool around.

But now that there is a family, and the children are still so young, it is impossible to say that there are no worries.

Even so, September was fast approaching. NBA preseason training camp is about to begin, followed by preseason games, followed by another long round of regular season and playoffs......

Link feels like he's been on a fast summer this summer and he's not having enough of this simple family life before he's ready to prepare for the new season.

"I really want to never start the game and stay by your side forever." The day before pre-season camp, Link sat on the couch and looked at his wife and children in his arms.

"Okay, then you can announce your retirement. That way, you'll be able to stay with us every day. Rachel and Link made a joke.

"In fact...... I'm already planning to retire. As everyone knows, Link replied seriously.

With Rachel's shocked look on her face, Link stated his plan to retire after winning three more championships.

If someone else says this, it's basically nonsense.

Retire after three more championships? Most people are so poor that they can't even win a championship in their lifetime!

Winning three more championships and retiring is equivalent to saying that I will retire when I am too old to play.

But when it came out of Link's mouth, it wasn't like that.

"Really? If all goes well, you'll be 32 years old in three years, and you're not old enough to retire. ”

"It's true that 32 years old is not yet the age to retire. But if I did, staying in the NBA wouldn't be any more challenging for me. It's better to change your life and do something else. Of course, I can also accompany you well. ”

Link was so serious that it didn't look like he was joking.

surpassed Jordan, created an unprecedented four consecutive championships, and won seven championships.

That's Link's only goal now.

As long as this goal is achieved, Link believes that it is time to make the game over.

"Three years? Well...... It's still a long way. ”

"It's not long, it's gone in the blink of an eye. Really, in the blink of an eye. ”

Link said, his gaze falling through the window to the lake in the backyard where the moonlight was reflected.

From the blue team to the fourth crown, from obscurity to the first man in the league...... It all seems like it's just a blink of an eye.

Three years, maybe it will really be faster than imagined.
