Chapter 1285 (1/2)

When Jimmy Butler returned to the FedEx stadium again, looking at the six Championship flags on the stadium, he had mixed feelings.

He remembers that when he came to Grizzlies, the dome of the FedEx stadium was still empty.

There are no retired jerseys and no medals.

Don't mention the championship flag, even one of the division champion flag can't be seen.

But now?

The honor in the FedEx stadium is the most in the League except for the home of the two giants, the Lakers and the Celtics.

But three of the six Championship flags are due to Butler.

When Butler entered the stadium, he received cheers and applause from grizzly fans.

This scene is not common, you know, Memphis fans will not easily give other team players to cheer.

But Jimmy Butler is an exception.

Although he has been away from Grizzlies for many years, Butler will enjoy such treatment every time he returns to the Federal Express stadium.

After all, he was the first meritorious official in the period of three consecutive titles. Who didn't love him?

Looking at the fans cheering for himself, Butler was very moved.

What is the most precious gain of a professional player? Ten million a year? Champion?

Those are precious, but they are not the most precious to Butler.

The most precious is the love of others.

Kobe and Jordan retired for so many years, but also are still concerned about the fans, this is the real ultimate achievement.

Butler is very happy, at least in Memphis, should not be forgotten by the fans.

Next to Butler, Kendrick Nunn looked around curiously at the exaggerated six Championship flags.

”This is the FedEx Stadium...” Nan murmured as he looked, as if he had come to the holy land.

Butler smiles. For his own generation, basketball Mecca may be Staples Center, Madison Square Garden, Boston's north shore garden, or even Chicago's Union Center.

But in the minds of Nann's new generation of players, the FedEx stadium is the holy land of basketball!

This is where the greatest player after Jordan was born, and the greatest team since the bulls in the 1990s.

What's more, link's favorite thing is that he proves that birth doesn't decide everything about you.

Even if you're just a drop off draft, there's also the possibility of becoming a historical superstar.

In those days, Allen Iverson showed people that small people could rule the basketball court.

Therefore, countless young people regard him as an idol and struggle hard.

However, as a drop off draft, link, who has never played in the NCAA first level league, is more grounded than AI.

He is more in line with people's expectations for ”ordinary people to create fame in the NBA.”.

Although link is actually not ordinary at all.

”Don't look, the Grizzlies at the FedEx stadium are no better than the Grizzlies at the American air center. Last time we beat them at home, this time at their home, we can win as well

Butler patted Nan on the shoulder, and nane closed his surprised eyes and turned back to the bad boy.

Soon, the Grizzlies came out to warm up.

Butler turned his head and found familiar faces.

Although Conley changed from an inch to a dirty braid, it still remained unchanged. Gasol is still like that, just more wrinkles.

Igordala's hair is getting shorter and shorter every year, and this year it's almost bald.

And what about link?

He really hasn't changed at all.

It's still as vibrant and trustworthy as it was a few years ago.

”Not to say hello to old friends?” Nann nudges butler with his elbow, and Butler finds link staring at himself.

But Butler shook his head at link and turned around: ”old friend? Don't make a mistake. We are enemies before the game is over! Get ready, Nan, we're not here to reminisce about the past today! ”

”Hello, boss!” Nann rubbed his hands and seemed to be ready to abuse Conley.

In the distance, link watched Butler turn away, urged his teammates to warm up and curled his lips: ”cut, what's cool?”

But this is also in line with Butler's character, just like himself, who is stinky and stubborn!

Before the start of the game, linkert gathered everyone together and reminded his teammates: ”I hope you don't forget that one of the three games we lost this season was given to us by the Miami Heat. Reciprocity is the most basic courtesy. So, let the guests experience our enthusiasm today

Link said, then with the first five tigers into the middle circle.

At the same time, Hubie Brown began his interpretation.
