He said he was going to the supermarket to buy things, but in fact he just found a convenience store nearby. Link and Butler, wearing sunglasses and hood, did not attract much attention.

Walking on the street, the buildings are full of posters of the Spurs. Today's game between the Grizzlies and the Spurs is also the focus battle. So when walking on the street, you can even hear many people discussing the upcoming game.

"You performed great yesterday, Jimmy." Link also talked about basketball with Butler, so you can't stop talking.

"I'm also very happy to be able to help the team. Yesterday was not easy." Butler smiled. Yesterday was perhaps the best night in his career.

“There will be another tough battle tonight.”

"Yes, I hope I can continue to help. Don't the media say that we are trapped in a curse of being unable to win in a row? If possible, I really hope to break this embarrassing record."

"You have seen this report too?" Link smiled. He thought that he was the only one who had the habit of reading news early in the morning.

"The whole world is discussing it, and the whole world thinks we will definitely lose in San Antonio. But I don't think so, what do you think?"

"Me? I never believe what the media says, I just care what we can do on the court."

"Haha, activism, is it? But I agree with you very much. What do you want to buy?" Halfway through the conversation, Jimmy Butler turned into a convenience store.

"I'll buy a few sports magazines." Link Ben just wanted to go out and have a walk with Jimmy Butler and pinch instant noodles? I really can't do such a thing.

real

When checking out, several people lined up behind Butler. People who came to the convenience store to buy things from all walks of life. Butler turned his head and looked at the team behind him, and then said to the clerk, "I have paid all the accounts for everyone behind him."

"Ah?" Link was stunned. What was this guy going to do?

Link suddenly remembered an article I read before. If you meet Jimmy Butler when you go shopping in the supermarket, you will be lucky. Butler, when he was a child, he lived in many friends' houses and was so poor that he could only rely on others to help him.

So after entering the NBA and getting a rookie contract that is not much money, Butler is determined to "help the world", just like others helped him back then. No matter whether you bought a dollar ice cream or a variety of $2,000, he will take the initiative to pay for you.

From this point of view, this report is indeed groundless.

The people who bought things afterwards basically had a confused expression like Link, but if they had such good things, they would not be shy. After a while, Butler paid the bill for everyone and signaled Link to return to the hotel.

Everyone's consumption habits are related to their childhood experiences. Just like Antetokounmpo, who used to make a living by setting up a stall, got his salary and he transferred all the money to Gary. He was so poor that he could only run to the training hall.

Finally, I met the Bucks fans and drove him to the stadium.

Of course, these are things to come in the future.

"Jimmy, if you play again tonight, you may face Richard Jefferson. If you can appropriately increase your desire to attack, I believe you can get a lot of opportunities in him." After such a small episode, on the way back to the hotel, Link chatted with Butler about the game again.

This year, the Spurs' lineup is a bit weird. After Ginobili became the main attacker last season, he returned to the role of the sixth man this season. Since Richard Jefferson and Leonard are both No. 3, Popovich followed the Grizzlies and allowed Jefferson to continue to get in No. 3, and then swung Leonard to No. 2.

As we all know, Leonard has basically been a No. 3 player in his career, but the rookie season is indeed an exception. It was not until the second half of this season that Richard Jefferson was completely abandoned by the Spurs and sent to the Warriors that Leonard confirmed his No. 3 position.

In the game tonight, the Spurs will definitely continue to use Leonard to mark Link. Therefore, Link was wondering whether Jimmy Butler could steal a few goals if he faced Jefferson. After all, Richard Jefferson's defensive skills are indeed not much left.

"I will do a good job of defense first, but if there is a chance on the offensive end, I will try it. I know that you and Mike will always send the ball to the person who has the chance at the first time." Jimmy Butler nodded and agreed with Link's point of view.

The Spurs have Leonard, a "new weapon" this year, and now, the Grizzlies have it too.

Lunch, lunch break, training, supper, physiotherapy, warm up, prepare for competition

The biggest feeling this season gave Link is boring. Because the schedule is intensive, he basically lives like this every day and entertains. It is estimated that there are only people like Harden who can continue playing basketball after having fun in the early morning and then go on to take a break from his busy schedule.

Although they only fought hard with the Celtics yesterday, the Grizzlies players are still very energetic today. After all, the San Antonio Spurs are no ordinary opponents.

At present, the Grizzlies have been defeated twice by the Spurs. No Grizzlies player is willing to lose to his old opponent for the third time. Once he arrives at the Att Center, the Grizzlies players can be like he is infuriated.

But in the same way, Spurs players will not take it lightly today. The hatred of being eliminated last season's playoffs cannot be eliminated even if the Spurs beat the Grizzlies ten times this season.

When we were warming up, Link obviously felt the heat in the Att Center. Spurs fans were just like having a festival today. For them, watching the Spurs run wild, Link was happier than having a festival.

Link focused all his attention on the Spurs No. 2. When he met Leonard the first two times, Leonard gave Link a huge surprise. I don’t know how much the kid has grown up now.

At this moment, Tim Duncan suddenly ran towards the Grizzlies' half and threw a ball freely. It was as if he was a Grizzlies player himself, not shameless.

But after the ball was shot, Duncan found that no one from the Grizzlies had passed the ball to him.

When warming up, players usually shoot, and then send a few trainers or bench players to pick up the ball at the bottom line and pass it to the warm-up players to continue shooting. As a result, after Duncan finished shooting, the Grizzlies ignored him in the first half.

Duncan scratched his head and turned his head to see Link staring at him. So Duncan showed his "cute" smile, and then jumped back to his own half.

Well, he jumped back to his own half like a child. After Duncan returned, Popovich scolded him, but Duncan was still laughing.

It can be said that everything that just happened is really Duncan.

Although Duncan doesn't talk much, he is actually very funny and completely inconsistent with the serious image in everyone's eyes.

But it is precisely because of this No. 21 No. 1 pick that the San Antonio Spurs has become loved by so many people.

Link was originally relieved a lot because of Duncan's funny behavior, but when he saw Leonard who was still serious, Link tensed up his nerves again.

Duncan is fake silence, but actually funny.
