On the fourth day after winning the championship, another time, Memphis carnival.

The championship parade has been held in their own city for the third consecutive year, and not all fans of the team have this blessing.

This year, the Grizzlies' championship parade is still lively, attracting more tourists from other places to participate.

It is said that before the finals, major hotels in Memphis were fully booked.

Memphis has never been a tourist destination, and the tourism industry is not well developed. The reason why people book hotels in advance is to experience the fanatical atmosphere of the championship parade.

Even if the finals were not finished at that time...

It can be seen that the championship parade has now even become one of the endorsements of Memphis. Before the game was decided, everyone could not wait to flock to Memphis to participate in this lively grand event.

The impact of a well-known professional sports team on a city really involves all aspects.

If it weren't for the three consecutive championships between Link and the Grizzlies, Memphis might still be the smoky look that way back then.

This year's championship parade held to celebrate the dynasty is the largest in three sessions, with Grizzlies players starting directly from the suburbs and slowly entering the city center.

Even though the route is so long, every section is still full of people.

Although the scale has increased, the specific process is similar to previous years.

Finally, the players' destination is still the showroom of the Federal Express Arena.

Under the attention of all Grizzlies players, Link put the third O'Brien Cup in Memphis into the display box, adding another touch to this already magnificent honor showcase.

Once upon a time, the Federal Express Arena had no honor showroom because the Grizzlies could not produce any honors.

But now, the Grizzlies' various honor trophys and honor moments are enough to decorate this big room.

When every new player joins the Lakers, the Lakers management likes to bring him into the showroom, let him face a full row of seductive O'Brien Cups, and then pour chicken soup.

Now, the Grizzlies can learn this trick and use it. If new players join the Grizzlies in the future, Link will definitely bring him here, and then say earnestly, "Look at the honor here and look at this brilliant history. As long as you work hard, you can also become a part of it."

After Link put the trophy down, the Grizzlies players completed the last task in this long season.

Link looked at the three championship trophys, and countless pictures and memories poured into his mind.

Before I knew it, I created an era... This feeling is really wonderful.

"Okay, you have completed your last task very well. Congratulations, everyone, it is my honor to work with you. Now, the team is disbanded on the spot. Enjoy your holiday, guys."

Finally, Dave Joggel put the final end to the season.

The players all screamed excitedly. The days of fighting with muscle-hard men every day have finally ended. Can everyone be unhappy?

Everyone walked out of the showroom and discussed the plans for this summer in groups.

Link was about to go home directly and discuss their summer journey with Rachel.

At this moment, Jimmy Butler suddenly came to Link's side.

"Link."

"Jimmy, what's wrong?"

"That...will you have time in two days? I want to invite you to have a meal alone." Butler smiled. Although it seemed relaxed on the surface, in fact, he gave the invitation and mustered up great courage.

"Oh? What's the situation? You won't suddenly bring a girl over and say I'm going to get married, hahahaha." Link laughed, but it didn't attract the attention of others.

Because most people were talking and laughing at this time, everyone was in a good mood.

"Well... it's not like this. In short, if you have time, tell me, just these two days, okay? I'll go back and wait for your call." Butler said, and hurriedly accelerated to leave.

Link stopped and stayed there and scratched his head.

What happened must be said alone. Butler has been with Link all the way. Since Link was in the second grade, he has been working with Link to this day.

But over the years, Butler has never been so nervous.

Link shook his head and didn't continue to think too much. Anyway, he will stay in Memphis these days. Since Butler has invited him warmly, let's go and find out.

※※※

Link met Butler in an empty high-end restaurant. It was obvious that Butler temporarily included the entire restaurant for this "date".

Of course, this consumption is no longer stressful for this unlucky guy who once could only stay in a friend's house.

"Damn, I'm doing such a big formation. I don't know, I thought we were really dating." Link and Butler joked, but Link found that Butler smiled very reluctantly.

Butler really doesn't like to laugh, so he doesn't know how to pretend to laugh.

At that moment, Link suddenly realized that this was not just a gathering between old friends.

Today is a sunny day with a sunny and sunny day. But Butler sat on the side of the shadow, and Link felt as if he couldn't see his face clearly.

"Link, how are the holidays?"

"The holiday hasn't officially started yet. Rachel and I plan to stay in Europe for a while. It's not me, Jimmy. Your opening remarks are really bad. Are you worried?"

Butler suddenly pursed his lips, like a child whose worries were told by adults, "I...I do want to tell you something, but I don't know how to speak."

Butler was very nervous, even more nervous than letting him perform a winning shot in the last second.

Although Link entered the league only a year earlier than him, for some reason, Link was full of majesty in front of him.

In Butler's heart, Link is not only his teammate, but also a strict big brother.

Butler had fantasized about this scene countless times, even on the day of winning the championship. He thought he was ready, but when this moment really came, he was a little overwhelmed.

"Damn, look at you like that. There is nothing you can't speak, what's the taboo between us? Let's talk about it!"

"Yeah..." Butler hesitated for a while.

"Then tell me first, is it bad news?" Link leaned forward and shortened the distance between him and Butler. Now, even if Butler hid in the shadow, he had to face all this.

"I don't know if this is bad news, I... Link, I'm going to try the free agent market this summer."

Link was startled. He thought he had heard it wrong. He never expected that Butler had asked himself to have dinner for such a thing.

What's going on? They just brought the third championship trophy home a few days ago. They just established a dynasty and there was no conflict between them!

If that's the case, why do you want to leave?

Seeing Link staring at him with an incredible expression, Butler hurriedly explained, "This question, uh... I actually thought about it for a long time."

Butler waved his hands because he was so nervous that he had nowhere to rest.

After being shocked, Link leaned back to the back of the chair and picked up the red wine on the table, "Why?"

"Well...you know, after following you in the past few years, I have done things that many people can't do in their entire lives. I won the championship, three. I was selected into the best defensive team. I went from being a rookie in the first round at the end of the round to a star player..."

Butler paused, he rarely said so many things at once. But Link did not interrupt, but nodded and signaled him to continue speaking.

This scene is like a gangster boy reporting work to the godfather.

After obtaining the approval of the "Godfather", Butler continued to speak.

"To be honest, I've been very happy in Memphis, and I enjoy playing next to you, and I'm glad we have established a dynasty together. I love this city and this team. But I also know that no matter how many championships you win, no matter how many dynasties you build, it's your team, your city, not mine. I'm not here, even Scott Pippen."

"Of course I'm not complaining about anything, Link!" Butler waved his hand quickly, afraid that Link would misunderstand.

"I'm very glad I got three championship rings here, but that's enough. If I continue to follow your butt and win more championships under your protection, I think it doesn't make sense to me. With three championship rings already, I want to go and try it out myself, I want to give it a try, I want...I want to be like you!"

"People say that a man will always have something in his life that they want to accomplish no matter what. Thank you, Link. Under your leadership, I do have the urge to do something now."

Link probably understood, butler was neither for money nor for being unhappy in Memphis.

It was just that his ambitions began to stir, and he wanted to make himself bigger. He wanted to be Jimmy Butler, not Link's helper Jimmy Butler.

Yes, you can never confine a bloodthirsty bulldog, and you can't tie it up with a chain.

Link smiled and muttered Chinese, "Boy, your wings are hard."

"Ah?" Butler kept fantasizing about how Link would respond, but never expected Link to reply something he couldn't understand at all.

"It's nothing. If you really think about it, I can't stop you. Of course I don't want you to leave, but after all, you are not my personal belongings and I have no right to interfere in your life. What kind of path you will take in the future is all your decision. But I have to give you a vaccination. If you meet on the basketball court in the future, don't expect me to spare you easily. Jimmy, I will beat you to the point of a spanking."

Link patted Butler on the shoulder, "Eat, I'm hungry."

"Thank you, Link."

"Tsk, after dinner, remember to tell others in advance, it is not good to leave without saying goodbye."

"Well, I get it, Link!" Butler nodded. At least now, he is still Link's little brother.

Butler was a little excited to finally leave the protection of the strong and stand alone.
Chapter completed!
