Chapter 339 (1/2)

On the base of the fastest progress award, there are four lines of small letters.

The first line, ”2011-12.”.

The second line, ”the fastest growing player in the NBA.”

The third line, ”Tom Lin.” These are the two largest words in four lines.

The fourth line, ”Memphis grizzly bear.”

Until he got on the plane back to Memphis, link was still looking at his trophy. The fastest growing player award, perhaps in the eyes of some people, is not an important award.

After all, when people compare a star's personal honor, the most often mentioned three honors are a burst, championship and MVP. You rarely see people say that because who won the fastest progress award, they will be forced to do so.

But this is link's first regular season award in his career, which he cherishes very much.

This time, link is very happy because he won the prize. This sense of achievement brings happiness even more than that of triggering the reward clause.

So when link got off the plane and found that he had hundreds of thousands of dollars in his account, he was calm. Now, link is no longer to win honor for money, but to win honor for his career.

After all, which player wants his career to be flat? What's more, it's still link who has the ability of idol.

As soon as the players walked out of the airport exit channel, they found that reporters and fans had gathered in large numbers in the airport hall.

The Grizzlies returned to Memphis with a 4-0 aggregate score, and link also won a trophy for the fastest growing player, which naturally excited the local media and fans in Memphis.

Link looked at the reporters and fans gathered around him, and had a sense of hero triumphant return.

”This is just a prize for the fastest progress. It's just such a big situation. You said, if I could come back one day with the MVP trophy, what would Memphis look like? ” Sitting on the team bus, looking out the window at the enthusiastic fans, link and Randolph started talking.

”If you get the MVP trophy, I expect the mayor of Memphis and the governor of Tennessee will meet you. The whole of Memphis is estimated to be empty. ” Randolph replied casually that he didn't really think about what link would look like with the MVP trophy. Because the word MVP is too far away for the Grizzlies.

After all, it's the MVP trophy. Only the most dominant star is qualified for that kind of honor.

However, looking at the changes of link in the past year, Randolph suddenly felt that everything might happen to that boy...

last year, he was only out of the draft, but this year he has become the fastest growing player and the core of the Grizzlies. God knows what else he can do in the future. MVP？ Maybe it will.

After the grizzly bus arrived at the FedEx stadium, the players disbanded and got a rare break.

Because the Grizzlies and Spurs are 4-0 sweeps the opponent, therefore both can rest several days. As a result, Hollins was able to give the players a day off from training.

The Grizzlies' series war is temporarily suspended, and of course everyone knows it's just a brief lull before a more intense war.

At the same time, in San Antonio, the players' daily training is still the same.

Burris Dior was dangling around the dressing room with a cup of coffee, and Duncan was talking to Popovich about something and flirting with each other.

Parker is tidying up his sneakers, and Ginobili keeps an eye on his locker for fear that his underwear will be stolen and frozen again.

This is the Spurs' dressing room, where the Spurs start their full day.

Of all these players, Cavai Leonard is the most special.

He didn't like to tell cold jokes, and he didn't respond to other people's jokes. During the whole day of training, you may see Duncan's lovely smile, Popovich's change of style makes the media laugh, but it's very likely that Leonard will not change his face.

Even, it is very likely that he can not hear a word.

However, this taciturn and silent child has now been fully accepted by the Spurs. In the latter part of the regular season, Leonard in the first grade has been the No. 3 spot in the Spurs' starting line. In the series of the Spurs' 4-0 sweep of the Mavericks, Leonard played well as a starter.

Everyone knows Leonard doesn't talk or yell. But it's all clear how much power is in this silent child.

During training this afternoon, Popovich found Leonard's three-point shot very hot. In the regular season, Leonard's three-point shooting rate is 37.6%, but between Leonard's average shooting 1.7 three-point, the sample is not large, so this can not prove that Leonard's three-point is very good.

In fact, Leonard's three-point goal was not very stable. His mission in the Spurs is more defensive than offensive.
