Chapter 534 (1/2)
”Link, you've done me a terrible job.”
Conley said this to link before the Grizzlies' home game against the Spurs on April 2.
Of course, I said it with a smile. And link could see that this time, Conley was smiling from the heart, not perfunctory.
Yesterday afternoon, when link said to reporters, ”we don't worry about Tony Parker, because we have Mike Conley,” the whole media exploded.
If link said he could blow up Parker, the reporters wouldn't say anything. But he said Conley was better than Parker, and many reporters refused.
After all, Conley's sense of presence in the league has not been high enough. Paul, Parker, Deron and even Westbrook and Owen have a sense of presence above Conley.
Field average 14.1 points, 6.1 assists, 2.8 rebounds, Conley's data is not really amazing. In the game, Conley is also difficult to make an impressive round.
Therefore, Conley was criticized and despised. So much so that people think Parker can easily kill Conley.
But at this time, link suddenly came out to sing the opposite tone, and the reporters were naturally surprised.
But for Conley, link's encouragement was very important. At least it makes him believe that there are still people in the world who trust him. Some people think that he is no worse than Parker, who was selected for the all star game!
Direct support is much more effective than lengthy consolation. A thousand words and ten thousand words are better than one action.
Since link publicly supported himself yesterday, Conley's mood has improved a lot. Since the big fool with glasses, no one has stood up for himself...
”miserable? It's Parker, isn't it. Today, let him see how the main point guard of the league's first team plays Link smiles and raises his fist at Conley.
The two of them touched each other lightly, and Conley felt that he was full of strength.
Before the war, Conley received a text message with the remark ”stupid big man with glasses.”.
The message was simple, ”nice to see you have a group of trustworthy teammates, Mike. Come on, I'll cheer for you, too
Conley smiles and puts the phone back in the locker room. At this time, link has been waiting for everyone at the door of the dressing room. Conley got together and prepared to go out with the king of Memphis!
Mike Conley is an emotional person. It seems that even now, he still can't forget his teammate in high school and college, that big, stupid guy with glasses, Greg Oden.
Auden and Conley have a very good private relationship. Even after entering the NBA, they hope to continue to work together one day. Bring the glory of high school and college to the professional arena.
However, it didn't work out. Auden, who was selected before Durant, played 82 games in the Blazers' five seasons.
Finally, because of injury, Oden also left the professional arena after last season.
Conley was very sad about this. Naturally, he didn't want this inside giant to fade out of people's view.
Of course, he doesn't want his good teammates, who have been playing together since high school, to leave him like this.
However, after yesterday's interview, Conley felt that he had found the feeling of playing with Oden.
Maybe link's volume is not as deterrent as Oden, maybe his style is not as fierce as Oden. Even his looks are not as rough as Oden.
But like Oden, he's always the first to stand up for you. In Conley's view, this is their greatest strength.
Conley, on the other hand, will never let his teammates who trust him fail!
Not only link, Conley decided to use his own efforts to keep the glory of Grizzlies!
Before the game started, the sideline reporter found Tony Parker. The Frenchman is very serious, and he said the loss in the last game made the Spurs extremely eager to win. Today, they will fight to the end at the FedEx stadium.
The Spurs really didn't plan to play with the Grizzlies. Even Popovich's old man frowned today.
