Chapter 192 (1/2)
Link sat in a boat arranged by the local police in Memphis. Wherever he went, the house was immersed in water, and the car floated like a toy.
Link felt a little inconceivable, as if he had strayed into the scene of the film.
”Are there any casualties?” Asked link, who was sitting on the boat.
”At present, we have not received any casualty reports, our response is very fast, and most of the citizens were evacuated at the first time. So you don't have to worry. ”
Just then, the boat passed through a gathering place of victims. Some of the victims were standing in the water over their waists waiting for help, but after seeing link on board, the victims took the initiative to get out of the way.
”Hey, send him to the stadium first, and let the boy prepare for the war!”
”Let's wait for the next boat. We'll be able to come to the lifeboat in another ten minutes. Let him go first. Link, today's good performance, we must advance to the Western Conference semi-finals
”Come on, link, the floods won't stop us, nor can Oklahoma thunder!”
The people in the water cheered at link, as if they didn't care about the situation. At the time of the flood, but also to keep the enthusiasm for basketball, link is really a little moved.
”Are they going to be ok? If not, let's stop and let them together. I have enough time. ”
”Hey, don't worry, we started with a lifeboat. Now, they're on the back of the boat. Don't worry, you and all the Memphis people will be fine. Don't be distracted. We'll be out of the water soon. ” The police officer smiles at link. ”Do we participate in the game against the thunder team in this way?”
”Of course, without your support, we could not have been here. To be honest, I was surprised by their enthusiasm. If my family were flooded, I would not care about basketball
”Ha ha ha ha, but after all, this is the most brilliant year in the history of Memphis basketball. If you ask the people of Memphis, what they are talking about most now is flood or basketball, you will get their answer without hesitation - basketball! The flood will fade and the flood will leave. But the Grizzlies, they're going to keep fighting
Link listened to the police officer's words, and actually got goose bumps. How many people's hopes did they carry. The fans who supported and cared about the team when the flood came. Those fans cheering for them at the FedEx stadium every night...
suddenly, link felt that he was responsible. He and his teammates were carrying not only the team, but also the hope of the city!
It is a small town that nobody cares about, because of its high crime rate, people have a bad impression of it. Now, they have the opportunity to rely on basketball in the United States, can not support it?
Link looked up slightly and saw a huge poster of himself on a tall building not far away.
The poster is what link looks like when he dribbles, and beside him, there are big words, ”let's make history together!”
Link smile, he instantly feel, Memphis this small city, is so lovely.
At first, link only liked the Grizzlies, but now he finds himself in love with the ”tough” city where citizens turn in their guns and get free tickets.
Sometimes, these small cities may have the warmth that New York or Los Angeles, an international metropolis, does not have.
”Link, we're out of the water! My colleagues will pick you up in front of you, but you have to take a Wade. Don't worry, the water here only submerges to the calf, you will be OK! ”
”Thank you. I haven't asked your name yet, officer.” Link stood up, and outside the waterlogged area, many Memphis citizens were cheering for him.
”It doesn't matter what my name is. It's important that we win for us, link! Beat thunder, let those who look down on us to see, we can also win the series With that, the officer stood up and shook link's hand.
”I'll try, for Memphis!”
”Yes, for Memphis!”
With that, link jumped into the water, waded in the water that didn't cross his legs for a while, and finally ”came ashore.”. As the police officer just said, a police car specially prepared for link is ready to go!
Around link were cheering Memphis fans, whose enthusiasm had not been dampened by the flood.
Link went to the door and looked around. Then, he raised his right hand and raised his thumb to everyone. ”No matter the flood or the thunder, there is no way to stop us! Because Memphis is a place that never bends down! ”
”Link! Link! Link! Link! Link! ”The whole street echoed with such shouts, this is not the battle between grizzly bear and link, but the battle of the fate of the whole city.
