Dillon Brooks did appear on the court soon and was very upset that he had missed Link's speech.

Unlike others, he didn't say much about Link's retirement.

Seeing Link, he only said one sentence: "Don't worry, I will do my best to help you complete the perfect final season!"

Link likes Dillon Brooks' attitude towards the game. To be honest, as a second round pick with an average talent, it is impossible to survive in this league without a good attitude.

Dillon Brooks' talent cannot even be described as ordinary.

In the NBA, the same height and wingspan are already considered very bad. Brooks' wingspan is a few centimeters shorter than his height.

His athletic ability is not strong, and his projection is not the most accurate.

It was just such a guy who performed a performance that made Link recognize him.

This shows how positive his attitude is.

"I heard you came to train very early?" Link smiled and patted Dillon Brooks on the shoulder.

"Hehe, it's not too early. It's far worse than before." Brooks scratched his head embarrassedly.

When Dillon Brooks first came to the Grizzlies, many old players always like to tell him the story of how hard Link worked back then.

In the mouth of Zach Randolph, the bragging king, Link was portrayed as a model rookie who came to the training hall to train at 5 a.m. every day and then cleaned up the locker room.

When Link never expected, Dillon Brooks believed it...

Link doesn't know if Brooks comes at 5 o'clock every day, but Link knows that as long as Brooks is there, the locker room will be cleaned and neatly every day...

"Uh... I didn't actually come very early before, Dillon..." Link felt a little embarrassed.

"You don't have to say that to help me reduce the difficulty, Link. Don't worry, I'm in good health now, and I will be the first to come to the training hall every day in the future!"

Dillon Brooks looked serious, Link was speechless. How did that guy, Nimarlandov fool others at the beginning?

"Okay, go and train. Be careful to be restrained. If you can't play due to injury, it will be a waste of money."

"Don't worry, I'm as strong as a bull now!" Brooks bulged his Hong biceps and started training.

After a while, everyone in the training hall became busy.

Link nodded with satisfaction, and everyone focused on training without worrying about their retirement.

This is the state that the defending champion should have!

After a day of training, the Grizzlies' new and old players showed an attitude worthy of recognition, and no one was careless. Even Rose, the former MVP and Howard, the former super center, were all conscientious and like a role player.

Although the team experienced a major change this summer, this enthusiasm for winning the championship has not changed.

After the training, when you returned to the locker room, you found that Dwight Howard placed an airpods pro headphone in front of everyone's locker, one worth $250.

"Hahaha, I originally wanted to surprise you, but I was discovered. This is the gift I gave you to meet. I will take care of you more in the next year!" Howard looked at his teammates who were pushing the door, showed his bright smile during his magic, and then scratched his head embarrassedly.

Even if you buy 100 of these headphones, it will be stressful for Link.

But that's not the case for Howard.

"Master Huo" can't get even a dime salary from the Grizzlies. His salary will only start from the first day of the regular season.

Moreover, it is still a non-guarantee contract. Whether or not there is still money to get the next day is completely unknown.

Under such circumstances, Howard still made a small fortune for his teammates, which was already very sincere.

It can be seen that Howard is indeed intending to narrow the distance between him and his teammates, and he does not want to be labeled as a "dressing room cancer".

Link doesn't know why Howard was so annoying in the previous teams, but at least so far, Link really can't hate Howard.

"Thank you, Dwight." Link took the headphones and smiled at Howard.

Meanwhile, everyone else said the same thing to Howard.

Although the goods are not expensive, the recipients mainly receive a heart. Even if it is just a small gift, the recipients are very happy.

"Hehe, thank you, just a little thing." Howard waved his hand, and the conversation between him and Link ended.

Link doesn't want to get too enthusiastic with Howard yet. After all, God knows if that guy has really changed.

What if he is too kind to him now and his true colors will be revealed soon?

Although the Grizzlies can indeed cut Howard at any time, that also means that the Grizzlies have no substitute center.

But as of now, Howard really won't ruin the atmosphere in the locker room.

In this way, the Grizzlies' pre-season training camp was held in an extremely outstanding team atmosphere.

The official social media of the Grizzlies now displays several training photos of Grizzlies players every few days, and each one will attract countless likes and comments.

Finally, a week before the preseason, the Grizzlies began their 5-on-5 confrontational training.

On the night after the first day of 5-on-5 training, Jamie Cheunger Green posted a news.

"I was completely killed."

Needless to say, Green must have been tortured when playing against Link during training.

Fans can imagine Jay Michael Green's helpless expression on the court.

The next day, Old Carter also posted a news: "Someone will surprise people next season."

There is no doubt that Carter refers to Dillon Brooks.

Soon, Dillon Brooks posted a video of himself practicing three-pointers with Old Carter, and the stone hammered it.

On the third day, Derek Rowe posted photos of having dinner with his teammates after training on social media, and also said: "Link treats you."

This seems to be the first time Rose has gotten so well with his teammates since the Chicago Bulls.

On the fourth day, Jokic posted a video of him dancing with Howard on the short video platform, and the fans were laughing so hard that they leaned back and forth.

On the fifth day, Tony Allen and Randolph, who had retired, returned to the training hall and posted photos of playing cards with the Grizzlies players. They also complained: "This year's card skills are not very good. They won a lot in one night and will come often in the future."

For several consecutive days, the Grizzlies players were "showing their love" every day.

The Grizzlies' joyful atmosphere made fans forget that this is almost a brand new team, and that it is temporarily forgot that this is Link's last season.

Before, people were worried that such a major blood change would make the Grizzlies' locker room less united.

However, almost everyone now yearns for the happy and united group of Grizzlies.

Of course, we are also looking forward to what kind of combat effectiveness this team will have in the new season.

"Don't look at how they make a fuss every day, it's not the case on the court. The preseason is about to start in two days, so let's wait and see."

At this time, how could Sam Smith miss this opportunity to pour cold water?

Although next season is Link's final season, Sam Smith did not give up against Link.

If Link was a veteran of nearly 40, everyone would bless him.

Unfortunately, Link is still the biggest threat to the league. Therefore, it is destined that Link cannot enjoy the treatment of the people blessed by Kobe, Wade and others.

Just imagine, if Kobe still had the chance to win the championship in the last year of his career, would fans of other teams still cheer for him?

Therefore, even if next season is Link's last season, he cannot escape the fate of someone opposing him.

But just one day after Sam Smith questioned, Link officially announced in an interview after training: "This year's preseason, I only played about 15 minutes per game, or even didn't play directly. But even so, we will still win most games. Because the strength of our team is beyond the imagination of some idiots."

Link once again rudely hit Sam Smith.

But this time, both sides no longer just quarrels from afar.
