1279: The strongest undrafted pick after Link?

Jimmy Butler and his Miami Heat are indeed very similar to the Grizzlies at the time. The power generated by a group of low-class players gathered together is immeasurable.

During the next day's training, Link also acted very seriously.

All Grizzlies players know that this means Link hopes they don't take their next opponent lightly.

The long regular season spans six months and plays a full 82 games.

It is undoubtedly very difficult to keep the players 100% focused every game and every day.

So, Link actually doesn't do it so serious before every game.

Before the last game against the Wizards, Link didn't put too much pressure on everyone.

But facing the Heat, Link doesn't want to lose the game because of underestimating the enemy.

So, he acted very seriously from the beginning today, conveying to everyone the feeling that "the Heat is not easy to play, so you have to prepare carefully."

So, everyone got out of yesterday's abuse and began to prepare for tomorrow's game against the Heat.

Link is not overly nervous because he is so cautious, although the Grizzlies have won nine consecutive victories now and their record is the best in the league.

But he has never forgotten the fact that the Grizzlies lost to the Heat in the second game after the start of the new season.

The Grizzlies have actually experienced the character of the Heat team.

However, as the season progresses, many people forget that the Heat is one of the few teams that have beaten the Grizzlies this season.

Ironically, after the Grizzlies lost to the Heat, the Grizzlies' most fiercer squirting was precisely this group of media that now look down on the Heat.

In the afternoon, during the media opening hours, a large number of reporters flocked to the training hall as usual.

Many people are still asking Link about what happened to the Seizure Hachimura yesterday, and they don’t care about the Heat at all.

Yet, the Heat may be the team with the least attention among the top three teams in the East and West.

Nonsense, two of the five starting players are out of the draft. Only if such a team has traffic can there be a ghost.

To put it bluntly, a team still needs to have enough weight or enough stars to attract attention.

For civilian teams, no matter how good the record is, it is difficult to capture the hearts of fans.

The Grizzlies became the most popular team in the league after Link's popularity soared.

"I don't want to talk about yesterday's game. I just want to consider tomorrow's opponent now. The Miami Heat is very strong, and I don't have the heart to miss yesterday's victory."

Link did not tease his opponent before the game, but instead paid enough attention.

He knew that if the Heat players felt they were underestimated, those guys would burst out with stronger power.

Don't ask how Link knew, because this is how the Grizzlies came here back then.

The more you look down on me, the more I will be beaten to you!

Many people think that Link is so cautious because he has reached the hurdle of ten consecutive victories.

But in fact, no matter whether the next game is related to ten consecutive victories, Link will not take it lightly against the Miami Heat.

Meanwhile, Miami Heat players are also preparing for tomorrow's game in the No. 2 training ground at the Federal Express Arena.

Everyone on the Heat was very excited, even if Jimmy Butler or Spolstra was not required to motivate the emotions, the players were full of vitality.

After all, they had beaten the Grizzlies once before. This time, they naturally hope to continue their victory against the defending champion.

What's more, the Miami Heat fights hard in every game is the temperament of the current Miami Heat.

Among them, Kendrick Nunn is the most exciting of all Heat players.

Nunn is definitely the most popular undraft player this season. He scored 24 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals against the Grizzlies in his first career, which made him famous.

Later, Nunn's performance did not disappoint people.

Nunn scored a total of 112 points in the first five games of this season. These 112 points scored him surpassed Wade and Beasley, ranking first in the total score of the first five games of the Heat's rookie.

In fact, it is not just in the history of the Heat. Looking at the entire league, Nunn is also the first player to score 100 in the first five games of his career since Durant in the 2007-08 season.

This undraft has been increasingly compared with Link, although his position and playing style are very different from Link.

But people are very happy to put the title "the strongest undraft after Link" on Nunn.

Nunn is also working towards this goal at the moment. Eight out of the ten undrafts regard Link as their psychological pillar, and Nunn is also one of the majority.

So when facing his idol again, Nunn felt that he was full of strength.

In the afternoon's confrontational training, Nunn hit the substitute team led by Butler with his super high three-point shooting percentage.

In the last moment, if Butler hadn't turned the tide, Nunn would have led the team to win.

Although Butler led the team to win the training match in the end, Nunn's outstanding state surprised Butler even more.

This guy really played like an All-Star.

Butler also admired Nunn's confidence on the court.

A few days ago, Nunn publicly stated that he was more qualified to win the Best Rookie Award than the draft No. 1 pick Zion Williamson.

Many people think that Nunn is overestimating his abilities.

However, this is Nunn's character. He is not afraid of heaven or earth. He is full of confidence in facing his strong opponent and dares to fight.

If you meet a strong person, you will be strong, which is the characteristic of that boy.

After the training match, Spoelstra also announced the dissolution of the team. From now on to before the preparations tomorrow, it is the players' rest time.

But just after the training match, Nunn immediately found several trainers and signaled him to continue practicing his shooting.

Butler then leaned forward and prepared to stay and practice with Nunn.

"Aren't you tired? Don't you take a break?"

After hearing Butler's voice, Nunn turned his head and smiled: "Who didn't say that? I'll have time to rest after I die."

"Charles Barkley said."

"Yes, Charles. This guy talks nonsense all his life, but this is the only thing that's right."

"Don't practice too late today. Tomorrow night will be enough for you to work hard, so keep some strength." After starting shooting practice, Butler reminded Nunn.

Butler had just finished speaking and was stunned.

He suddenly remembered that Link used to say such things to himself.

Having said that, Butler feels that he and Nunn are really like Link and himself back then...

"Hey, Jimmy."

"Um?"

"You are very familiar with Link, aren't you?"

"Of course, we have experienced the first dynasty together." Butler smiled. Although he has been out for many years, he is now rude to the Grizzlies.

But in fact, in his heart, the memory of Memphis is still what he cherishes the most.

"Then, what kind of guy is Link?" Nunn looked at Butler. It was obvious that this undraft was full of curiosity for Link, the "god man".

"Link?" Butler touched his chin and thought for a moment: "A bad guy, a guy you hate as an opponent, but as a teammate, you like it very much. He is one of the hardest players I have ever met, and his desire to win is the strongest on the basketball court. I don't know, Link can be summarized clearly in just one or two sentences. Why? Why do you ask this?"

When Butler looked at Nunn, he found that the guy was counting one by one with his fingers.

"I want to win, evil people, diligence, and lose the draft... Damn, I have all these traits! It seems that I really may become the next strongest lose the draft, hahahahaha! Tomorrow, let Link take a good look at our strength!"

"Uh..." Butler thought there would be some deeper conversation, but he didn't know...

Forget it, Nunn is this personality. This guy is not arrogant, he is just a little optimistic.

And judging from Nunn's current state, Butler believes that this guy is definitely capable of causing trouble for the Grizzlies.

So Butler took out his cell phone and sent a text message to Link.

The content is very simple, but Link is excited to see it.

"Be prepared, the second generation of bad kids are coming."

"Bad boy?" Link stared at the screen of his phone and smiled.

No matter how bad a person is, he can only submit to the Federal Express Arena.
