Looking back at the situation during the championship parade yesterday, Link felt that everything seemed like a dream.

The championship parade began on the fourth day after the Grizzlies players returned to Memphis. The convertible double-decker bus for the special parade shuttles through the streets of Memphis. Although the Grizzlies won the championship for the second time, the enthusiasm of fans to participate in the parade has not decreased but increased.

Even many outside Tennessee fans came to Memphis to see the style of the championship parade.

At this time, the championship parade seemed to have become a symbol of Memphis, as desirable as the carnival in New Orleans.

There were countless Mounted Police and several police cars operating with the bus. As the pride of Memphis, it was standard to dispatch police cars for the Grizzlies.

Link held the O'Brien Cup, the Best Defensive Player Trophy, the regular season MVP Trophy and the FMVP Trophy, stood in the front of the front car, and waved to the fans on both sides of the street.

Fans wearing dark blue Grizzlies jerseys or championship commemorative T-shirts huddled on both sides of the street, waving their arms and flags to cheer and salute the players in the car.

Looking around, it was full of dark blue! Once again, Memphis City was crowded with people!

The bus travels very slowly, and it seems to be squirming in the crowded streets.

But no one will think it is slow. Whether it is fans or players, they hope to stay with each other for a while.

Fans shouted the names of every Grizzlies player, and those who were called would wave to everyone and get even louder cheers.

When the convoy finally arrived at the city hall, there was even a stage of celebrity performances.

But no matter how big the stars are, they are not the protagonists today. There is no doubt that everyone from the Memphis Grizzlies is the real focus.

Last year, the Grizzlies won the championship, and only the mayor of Memphis attended the event. This year, the governor of Tennessee and many lawmakers came to attend the final ceremony.

It can be seen that the influence of the Grizzlies' championship this time has completely surpassed the boundaries of sports.

Finally, in a speech in front of the Town Hall, Link shouted the words he once said to reporters to thousands of fans, "We are not the Lakers, we are not the Celtics. We are nothing, we are just the Memphis Grizzlies, we just want to take our own path in the league. Today we have just reached a node, and the road is far from reaching the end!"

After Link finished speaking, people from the whole city were shouting with him.

What is a glorious moment? Link thinks that's it.

"What are you smirking? Are you still thinking about yesterday's championship parade?" In Link's arms, Rachel reached out and shook her hand in front of the smirking Link.

After Rachel arrived in Memphis, she lived directly at Link's house. Both of them finally had a holiday, so they naturally had to seize the opportunity to stay together.

At this time, they were snuggling on the sofa, watching the TV replay of yesterday's championship parade. As a result, Link began to giggle.

"Hehe, I will often think of yesterday's scene even in ten years."

"In another ten years, God knows how many championship parades you have participated in. Go and change your clothes. It's getting late. Don't you still have to go to the training hall today?" After Rachel said that, she stood up from the sofa and helped Link pick up clothes.

"Well... there is still a good show to watch this afternoon." Link touched his chin and was full of expectations for the afternoon after the championship parade.

Logically speaking, the players have already started their holidays and they can enjoy their holidays relatively unscrupulously. Randolph flew to Hawaii early this morning to enjoy the waves and beaches.

But Link didn't plan to leave yet. Until the end of June, Link would not leave Memphis for the time being.

First of all, Link has participated in the Grizzlies' draft this year. Although the Grizzlies do not have a first-round draft pick this year, Link still attaches great importance to this year's draft.

As a "experienced person", he knew very well that there were several notable second-round picks in 2014. So this afternoon, Link went to the training hall to watch several rookies who came to Memphis to try out.

After the draft, Link himself had to start signing a contract with the Grizzlies. Although he had nothing to talk about with Pera, this kind of formal signing must be more polite to be present.

Finally, Link has to spend time with manager Jeff Austin to make plans for this summer.

After the influence expands, Link's business activities will definitely be more intensive and numerous. How to balance training, business activities and rest time is not an easy task.

By the end of this, it will definitely be the end of June. So for Link, he is now in a "half-off" state at most.

Just as Link was thinking, Rachel took two sets of clothes from the second floor bedroom and walked out of the living room, "Which set do you want to wear?"

"Uh... the one on the left."

"Well, change it quickly, and then wash your face, so don't let others notice the lipstick marks on your face. Today we won't go out to eat, so I'll show you your skills at home. So, come back directly after the end."

"Oh...oh..." Link felt extremely comfortable. There was a woman around him, and her quality of life had indeed improved linearly.

At least tonight, he no longer needs to eat boiled chicken breasts that taste like chewy wax.

Link went out happily. When the vehicle drove outside the Federal Express Arena, he also saw a lot of tourists gathering in the outer square.

Nowadays, the Federal Express Arena has also become one of the most popular tourist attractions in Memphis.

I think it was so deserted and deserted when there was no competition before. But now? The square was full of people!

Although the stadium is still the same stadium, there has been no change. The Memphis Grizzlies are not the team they used to be.

The team is like the soul of a stadium. Staples without the Lakers will never be called a basketball temple. The North Shore Garden without the Celtics will never be favored by so many fans. After the United Center lost Jordan, wouldn't it be the grand occasion that it was?

In the past, people were not interested in any way they could promote the Federal Express Arena.

But now, when the soul of this stadium is sublimated, it instantly has a very high popularity.

Link laughed proudly, wishing he could turn this place into another basketball holy place.

After parking the car, Link couldn't wait to enter the training hall.

When he pushed open the door of the training hall, several rookies who came to try out were already warming up. The training ground was full of trainers, and the whole scene was very lively.

Since the Grizzlies only have a second-round draft pick this year, all the rookies who come here are predicting that they will fall out of the second-round rookies.

Unlike high-ranking rookies, high-ranking rookies will selectively participate in trial training in order to maintain a sense of mystery or show goodwill to a certain team. Their "drag" has existed since before entering the league.

The second round pick is different. In order to be selected smoothly, they must show themselves as much as possible. Therefore, they almost refuse the invitation to tryouts.

Therefore, today, there are a lot of people gathering on the training ground of the Grizzlies.

"Come on? The trial is about to begin. The people you suggest we are looking for are all here." Seeing Link appearing on the training ground, Grizzlies General Manager Chris Wallace came up enthusiastically and greeted her.

Head coach Dave Joggle and assistant coach Quinn Snyder also waved at Link.

Link glanced at the training ground and found that many faces were very unfamiliar with him. After all, the probability of a second-round pick in the league is very low. Although Link is a "experienced", he also has no impression of many second-round picks.

But among most unfamiliar faces, Link still found several "old acquaintances".

Jokic, who has no muscle lines at all, is warming up for running, and Joe Harris, who has no big beard, is trying to make a try from outside the three-point line. Jordan Clarkson, who is dual nationality in the United States and the Philippines, has shown his excellent running and jumping ability.

In addition, Link also recognized Jerami Grant, K.J. McDaniels, Spencer Dinwiddie and others.

These guys are the best in second round picks. It is rare to see how many second round picks can gather in a year.

Therefore, Link is very concerned about this year's draft. If you operate well, the Grizzlies will get the most benefit at the lowest cost.
Chapter completed!
