Chapter 366 (1/2)

”It was a tough decision not to renew Hollins and we respect his work in Memphis. But after careful and careful consideration, we have made a better development plan for the team in the future, and it is not easy to make a decision The Grizzlies' new owner, Robert Pera, answered reporters after the news came out.

”I want the outside world to see things from my point of view. I don't want to coach other teams. I want to stay with the Grizzlies. I have also stated in my exit interview that as long as the team provides me with a suitable contract, I will agree immediately. But the Grizzlies have made a decision. I can only accept it. I hope the Grizzlies will get better and better in the future Hollins, the tough guy, looks lonely when he faces the camera. His dream with Memphis stops suddenly.

At this time, the finals are in a fierce battle, so few people will care about whether the grizzly coach leaves or not. After all, Hollins is far from being a great coach. In the coaching circle, there's no comparison between CAF and Popovich.

If Popovich leaves, it is estimated that the whole league will explode.

But link is very interested in this matter, how much? After learning the news and phone confirmation, link flew back to Memphis from Los Angeles.

”Don't be sad, I've received three or four interviews. Maybe next season we meet again, it will be the opponent, ha ha ha ha ha Hollins's eyes turned red when he saw link appear at his door.

But in order not to make the atmosphere too sad, Hollins decided to make a joke to ease the atmosphere.

Link looked at Hollins with mixed feelings.

Indeed, Hollins is far from being a great coach in NBA history. Before crossing over, link didn't even know the man. It can be said that Hollins' fame in the coaching circle is only a little better than that of nobody.

But at this time, the ”unknown” coach to leave, link is still a little sad.

After all, he was link's first coach in the NBA. The influence of an enlightening coach on players is still very great. Without Hollins' trust and importance, link would not even be able to play stably in the NBA, not to mention being selected for the double or two.

Hollings made link from an unknown draft into one of the best No. 3 players in the league. Although he only got along with him for only two years, Hollins still had a very high status in link's heart.

Although link works hard, he also has systematic help. But Hollins has also witnessed link's growth. It's impossible to say that he has made no contribution to the cultivation of link.

”Did you get the news long ago? Why don't you tell us? ”

”Tell you in the playoffs that I might leave this summer? Ha ha, I'm the head coach. I have to guarantee the team's performance first. And it's not good for the team to play in the playoffs. It doesn't matter. Business is business. The team is stagnant and someone has to take charge of it Hollins patted link on the shoulder. ”Next, you have to keep going.”

Link nodded gently, and now is not the time for affectation. This is the NBA. It's about grades. The team wants to go further and sometimes it just needs to change. As a professional player, link has to get used to the rhythm.

After that, link had dinner at Hollins' house. They talked about everything from basketball to life.

Finally, before leaving, Hollins only said to link, ”link, you must win. The honor of Memphis depends on you. ”

This is Lionel Hollins, the last ”deployment” for link.

Farewell, that's part of basketball.

Walking home, link was not so sad. Think about it. Sometimes, separation may be a better choice for both sides. This is not necessarily a bad thing, or even a good thing.
