1007: Cubs

"Kevin Durant may have to jump out of the contract and go to the Golden State Warriors?"

When the late Quinn Snyder heard the news from Jogel, he almost fainted on the spot.

Link shook his head. Even the person who knew the trajectory of historical development was shocked just now, let alone Snyder, who was unprepared.

"Yes, the news is very reliable. It may be officially announced one to two days before the free agent market opens." Jogger's brows were frowning from the beginning.

Durant and the Warriors, this certainly has nothing to do with Joggle.

But if this transfer really happens, the Grizzlies will face an extremely terrifying opponent!

Jogel is worried...

He fears the Grizzlies' era will end!

Everyone knows that the Grizzlies cannot always win the championship or win. It is only a matter of time to lose, but it is only time to win the championship by other teams.

But when such a thing is really coming, it is not so easy to accept.

"Damn, why are the players nowadays like this..." Snyder shook his head. Since James, the "grouping" method of championship competition has become popular in the league.

In the past, players who played well fought against each other and fought against each other. But now, players who played well were discussing how to gather together to cut leeks.

"Okay, we're not here today for Kevin Durant. Let's start quickly, I see they can't wait." Link waved his hand and didn't worry about Durant anymore.

Other people's decisions cannot be controlled, but the Grizzlies can control the fate of these rookies now.

Link probably looked at the players on the court and found that there were not many familiar faces.

The 2015 draft was considered the year of the draft, and a group of young people who were highly anticipated by people were gathered, including D'Angelo Russell, Carl Anthony Towns, Jalier Okafor, Porzingis, "Chinese Boy" Mudiaet and others.

They all have one common characteristic, that is, it is impossible to appear on the Grizzlies' training ground...

The Grizzlies' rookie trial has always been incompatible with the word "genius". In fact, in the current winning lineup of the Grizzlies, the real high-ranking rookies can count one hand.

Their star Link is even a undrafted draft pick.

This temperament of the Memphis grizzly bear did not change with the establishment of the dynasty.

Those who come here are all marginal people, abandoned guys, and scraps.

But it is precisely because of this that the Grizzlies' three-game winning streak is full of charm.

They have never been the most talented team in the league, but relying on their tenacity, tenacity and incredible cohesion, they have repeatedly staged stories of grassroots counterattacks.

Then, Link took the trial list and looked at it. Sure enough, most of the people on the list, Link didn't recognize him.

A group of rookies who are predicted to be selected only in the final and second rounds of the first round, naturally do not have much popularity.

Juan Baoliet in 1996 said that he was an MVP of the Argentine League. But Link had no memory of this name...

In 1993, the template for Alturas Ancient Tiss was Valanciunas. Last season, he shot 40% of the three-point shooting percentage in the Champions League and was able to protect the frame, which was very consistent with the requirements of this era for centers.

But looking at this extremely unfamiliar name, Link really couldn't guarantee that he could succeed in NBA.

After looking at the list, Link drew red circles on only two names.

One is Monterres Harrell of the University of Louisville, and the other is the focus of the Grizzlies' investigation today, Josh Richardson, a "local player" who played at the University of Tennessee for the past four years.

It is obvious that both of these two people have nothing to do with the word "genius".

One is rough in technology and short in size.

An ordinary defender who is dedicated to being a surgeon, has more time to study than play basketball every day, and has no prospect of entering the NBA before his senior year.

But Link knew very well that as long as they were carefully trained, these two guys would become good seedlings.

Link gave his advice, and the Grizzlies also carefully inspected the two during the trial.

Finally, after the regular training, Jogel left Richardson and Harrell alone.

It is obvious that these two low-coupled rookies are a little nervous. This is the championship team that has just established a three-game winning streak. The leader of this team is "the league's number one is not easy to mess with" Link, and he is on the scene now!

Any rookie who is left alone in such an environment will feel nervous.

"First of all, I have to praise your performance just now. Your performance touched me, but it was not enough. Next, you have to take turns to fight Link. The winner will be a member of the Memphis Grizzlies next season."

Jogel walked to the two rookies, and as soon as he finished speaking, both of them were completely dumbfounded.

Link, who beat James to the point of being helpless, fight him one-on-one? What an international joke!

"Hahahaha, I'm kidding. I need you to have a half-time 2-on-2 confrontational training now, and your opponent is ready. Now, go warm up!" Jogel waved his hand and did not continue to tease the two young men.

Richardson and Harrell both breathed a sigh of relief. Is the Memphis Grizzlies team so hard-core even for jokes?

"2 to 2?" Link was a little surprised. He didn't know that there was still this part today.

"Yes, this is the highlight of today, Link." Jogel smiled mysteriously.

"Who are their opponents? Are you and Snyder? You will be beaten to pieces. I will never help, absolutely."

"Of course not us, Quinn, call them out."

"Okay." Snyder nodded and walked towards the locker room.

One minute later, two familiar faces appeared in front of Link again. And it made Link's eyes lit up.

Nikola Jokic, who had lost a lot, appeared in the Federal Express Arena again. Although he was still very fat, he was at least more like a real professional player than last year.

Dinwiddie beside him has become much stronger. It seems that his year of experience in the Development League has also made him greatly improve.

Both waved their hands when they saw Link. They must have wanted to pass this final test and fight side by side with the greatest players of this era.

"Link, coach, I can't only do planks for 20 seconds now," Jokic said, showing off his biceps.

"I've been working hard all year, and I think this time, I'm ready!" Dinwiddie, who briefly joined the Grizzlies to play this year, but was quickly transferred to the ground because of her poor strength, also looked full of confidence.

Dinwiddie and Jokic, against Josh Richardson and Harrell.

Link looked at the four young men in front of him and smiled excitedly. This was really a highlight.

Yes, the Grizzlies don't have high picks and cannot get those highly anticipated super newcomers.

Yes, the Grizzlies are about to lose Jimmy Butler, and there are likely others who will leave in the future.

Yes, Durant and the Warriors are ready to trigger another major earthquake.

It looks like the Memphis Grizzlies seem to be doing nothing this summer.

Randolph, Iguodala, Conley and others began to grow old, while young people such as Butler began to yearn for their future.

The Grizzlies seem to be like all other teams in history that have experienced three consecutive championships, and their strength is inevitably being gradually weakened.

Glorious, rebuilding, no matter how brilliant, rebuilding... This is a rule that no team can escape.

But under unknown circumstances, the new generation of "bear cubs" have begun to grow wildly!
