Chapter 1007 (1/2)
Due to the need to change venues, there was a two-day gap between Game 4 and game 5 of the finals.
These two days, all Memphis are preparing to celebrate the team's third championship.
On the outside square of the FedEx stadium, the Grizzlies built a big O'Brien cup model to create a championship atmosphere.
Inside the stadium, it was decorated everywhere. All kinds of photos of grizzly's previous two wins are all over the place.
The most artistic stadium in the league has now become the most champion stadium in the league.
Not only the stadium, but also the streets and alleys of the city have posters to celebrate the title.
All the billboards of high-rise buildings were replaced with the contents related to the Grizzlies winning the championship.
On the street, almost all citizens wear Grizzlies' jerseys or team T-shirts. Among them, wear No. 0 Jersey accounted for the majority.
Even, some businesses have launched promotional activities to celebrate the founding of the Grizzlies! The discount is similar to the annual Christmas.
The atmosphere of the whole city of Memphis is very pleasant, as if it is a festival, a festival only the city has.
The smell of Champions has begun to spread throughout the city.
At this time, as the biggest protagonist of this ”Festival”. Link is in Oklahoma City, 750 kilometers away from Memphis. With his previous two championship rings, he came to the cemetery he knew very well.
Today, there are not many people in the cemetery. It is very quiet and suitable for conversation.
Link walks to a tombstone and finds a bunch of flowers in front of it. The flowers have not withered and have not been taken away, indicating that they have just been put here.
Link looked around and didn't see any familiar faces. No matter who it is, maybe they have left.
Link then squatted in front of the tombstone, put down the flowers in his hand, and then raised his hand and shook his two championship rings at the tombstone.
”See, Zick, I'm holding two championship rings now! If there is no accident, the day after tomorrow I will have my third championship trophy. I did. I became one of the greatest players in the league. No, we did. Now on the streets of Memphis, people are wearing your No. 0 shirt
”Incredible, really incredible. Now, I've won two regular season MVPs, two finals MVPs, one scoring champion, two best defensive player, three double bursts. And a three crown Dynasty will soon be established. I'm happy, Zick. It turns out that basketball players like us born out of the spotlight can also be successful. By the way, your sister is about to graduate from college. Don't worry. Your mother and she are living very well. They have moved out of the old block. Now, you don't have to worry about them being harassed by gangsters again. ”
”I sent them tickets for the fifth game of the finals, and they will come to see me win for you. Your number 0, will be sought after all over the world! And I'm going to propose to a girl this summer. Hahaha, sorry to tell you so late. In fact, she and I knew each other very early, when we were still playing in the Development League. I don't know why, since last year, I feel more and more strong to have a home with her. Maybe that's where I really belong
Link looked at the tombstone, looked at the name, as if he saw upshaw smiling in front of his eyes, patted himself on the shoulder and said, ”there you are, stinky boy.”
”Have a good rest, man, and wait for my good news. Next time I come, I'll bring her along. You have to know her, don't you? Okay, I should go back. To be honest, my ribs are still killing me. The media and fans say I'm a tough guy, tough ass. It's just biting my teeth. Is it hard for me to shout out in the competition? Come on, good luck. ”
Link stands up, stares at the tombstone for a few seconds, then turns away.
He will return to Memphis this afternoon to prepare for the final battle.
As soon as link left, a burly man came to the tombstone from a tree in the distance. The man looked at link's back, opened his mouth, but quickly closed it, still did not call out link's name.
”Dad, isn't that the one who appears on TV every day?” Next to the man, a little boy pointed to link who was walking away.
”He's the one who appears on TV every day.”
”Do you know him? Why did he put a bunch of flowers here like you
”Because we are good friends. Well, I guess so. ”
”God, Dad, you know a TV star! Tell me when you became good friends
”It's a long story. It starts when I smashed him to the floor in the training ground several years ago. At that time, my mother and I didn't have you... Come on, Edward, we'll talk about this story at home. ”Joan Brockman walked out of the cemetery with her child.
He will watch the game live the day after tomorrow on time.
”Link is in trouble. He is caught between LeBron and shampoot. The basketball is in his hands, but he can't score directly. The 24 second attack time is coming to an end and link has to make a decision as soon as possible. He turns, he leans back... Jump shot - bang! The ball is in! The ball is in! Link once again scored under the double team, worthy of being the king of Memphis! This kind of difficult goal can't defeat him! The gap has been widened to 10. The Cleveland Cavaliers have no chance! ”
There was a roar of excitement from Mike brin on the TV.
In front of the television, more excited than he is the grizzly fans, those who can not go to the scene to watch the ball, can only choose to witness this historic night in the bar with a large number of people.
Watching the ball in a bar is usually a football game. But today, in Memphis, all the bars, big and small, are almost full.
People all over the city crowded together to watch the basketball match.
After all, it will be a moment of honor for the city.
”Good job, champion! We are champions
”Three in a row, dynasty! No one can stop us! ”
”Link, I love you the hell!”
”Yes, yes, if I were a woman, I would marry him!”
”Ah ha ha ha ha...”
Such scenes appear in the bar where all Memphis fans gather, and the local police certainly don't have to worry about the crime rate tonight.
