Chapter 1207 (1/2)
Robert Pera and link sit in the stands at the Federal Express stadium.
Link is familiar with the stadium. He has been here for nearly ten years.
Although the FedEx stadium changed the floor style last season, link still doesn't feel strange.
He has experienced failure and glory here.
Looking at the bottom corner, he would think of Carter's three points of self salvation.
Looking at the middle circle, he would think of Gasol's long hair.
Link knows the stadium as well as he can.
But sitting in the stands, this kind of experience is really strange.
This seems to be the first time link has seen the stadium from the stands.
”I watched your game here. I remember it was new year's day in 2012, when Grizzlies played bulls at home. Against the Bulls defense, you shot down 40 points and 3 doubles! If I remember correctly, that was the first 40 point triple double in your career. Oh, my God. I was stunned. I kept asking myself, ”is this guy really a drop off draft?”
PELA, sitting next to link, stares at the empty court, saying and rowing with her hands.
”After that, I used to come to the FedEx stadium to watch games. Every time, your performance will surprise me. At that time, most of the media and fans didn't like you. But I think that boy might play a key role
”Then, I bought the Memphis Grizzlies, and I didn't even think about O.J. Mayo or Rudy guy. From the beginning, you are my team building core! At that time, everyone said I was crazy. What happened? ”
PELA said, turning to the Federal Express Stadium on the six Championship flag!
There is no stadium in the league that has more Championship flags than the FedEx stadium, except the home of the Lakers and Celtics.
For Pella, this is the proudest thing for him!
Chicago Union Center? Sorry, the number of championship flags there can only be tied with Grizzlies.
Link listened silently, without speaking, just giggling.
I didn't expect that he and PELA have such a wonderful memory together.
The scenes of the past ten years have all appeared in link's mind.
”So... Have you really decided?” PELA turns and her eyes fall on link.
It was just because he couldn't accept that link would retire after playing next season, so he and link went to the empty stadium for a moment.
”I think so, Robert. I can't bear it, but I have to say goodbye sooner or later
”Hell this summer, Zach's going, Tony's going. Now, even you are leaving. ” With link's affirmative reply, PELA covers her forehead.
The other day, Randolph and Tony Allen decided to retire in a group.
Both are nearly 40 years old and have won enough titles. In their opinion, staying with Grizzlies won't help. Other teams, they don't want to go.
The contract just expired, so the two decided to retire at the peak of grizzly's second Dynasty, which was a perfect end to their career.
PELA has promised to retire Randolph's and Tony Allen's jerseys, and the fans are sending their best wishes, so to speak.
Just to my surprise, Randolph and Tony Allen just announced their retirement, and not long after that, link came.
”Ha ha ha, I have to fight for another year. It's not time to leave, Pera Link patted the boss on the shoulder to make him not so sad.
PELA also knows that once link decides something, ten cows will not come back.
What's more, PELA doesn't block other people's right to choose their lives.
Link wants to live another life. It's link's freedom.
Though reluctant, PELA slowly accepted the fact.
Yes, it's a good ending to leave a legendary figure on the top of the mountain.
If Michael Jordan had retired at the peak, he would have been more ”divine”.
But Jordan's second comeback let us know that the original magic MJ is also the body of the ordinary fetus.
Link's choice is actually very good.
”You say you'll retire if you win the championship next season. What if... You can't win it?” After holding on for a long time, PELA finally asked the question.
