On July 16, just one day after Marc Gasol renewed his contract with the Grizzlies, a highly anticipated transfer in the entire league finally came to an end.

On the morning of the same day, Durant, the Warriors and the NBA officially announced that Durant will join the Warriors at a price of 54.3 million for two years, of which the second year is the player option.

In other words, Durant followed James and signed a 1+1 contract with the Warriors.

And together with Curry, Thompson and Green, they formed an amazing Super Four-line team!

Durant's operation shocked the whole world. People did not expect that he would join a team that was already so strong.

Isn’t this ** holding your thighs naked!

As a super scorer, the people expected Durant should have dominated the party.

He should lead a team alone like Link, leading them to glory.

People think Durant just can't stand the Thunder management's inaction and the way Russell Westbrook plays.

But I never expected that such a super scorer would choose a team that already has a great prospect of winning the championship like a veteran who is about to retire.

In an instant, Durant's reputation and image plummeted.

People call him cowardly and lack courage. People say that Durant's decision ruined the NBA.

Because as the Grizzlies' strength gradually weakened, the Warriors suddenly ushered in Durant, which seemed to have brought the NBA next season's finale directly.

What attracts fans the most is the fierce competition. NBA has introduced so many transfer rules, draft rules and various restrictions to avoid a team that is much stronger than other teams and balance the strength of each team as much as possible.

But Durant's joining the Warriors completely broke this balance. The strength of the Golden State Warriors next season will be even more terrifying than the Heat Big Three a few years ago!

When James abandoned his brothers for the championship last season and returned to Cleveland for the championship, and when Durant joined an already powerful team for the championship this season.

People suddenly discovered that Link, who has always been regarded as a "villain", now seems particularly great.

After all, that guy Link is one of the few people in the league who will try to win with his own strength.

Durant joined the Warriors, completely changing the league structure.

Link looked at the phone in his hand and was stunned. In the end, all this happened, a year earlier.

"Link, does this dress look good?" At this time, Rachel's voice rushed into Link's ears.

Link looked up and found Rachel wearing a beautiful pink sunscreen jacket.

Not only sun protection, but also waterproof.

Waterproofing is essential because at this time, Link and Rachel are in Venice, the world-famous water capital.

"Well, it looks great. Are you ready? Let's go." Link turned off the screen of his phone and threw all the words Durant, Warriors, grouping, finale and other words behind him.

"Hehe, let's go when I put on another lipstick!" Rachel walked into the bedroom excitedly and started to put on makeup. Link took the opportunity to enter the toilet and tiptoed out a small box from the cabinet in the washbasin.

Link opened the small box and looked at it. It was the 2015 NBA championship ring!

Robert Pera rushed to the ground and finally delivered the championship ring to Link in mid-July.

The ring has been prepared before the finals in early June. The ring designers work for a long time every day, and strictly check the entire process from design to production.

Since we only need to create this one of Link first, the designers poured all their efforts into it.

At present, Rachel doesn't know that Link has received the championship ring. After taking the ring back yesterday, Link has been hiding in the toilet.

Seeing that Rachel was still humming a little song in front of the dressing table in the bedroom, Link closed the toilet door and opened the box to take a look.

Although it is not the first time I have seen the true appearance of this ring, Link still couldn't help but sigh at the beauty of this ring.

This time, the Grizzlies no longer shape the bear's head on the front of the ring, but instead made three O'Brien Cup shapes, highlighting the significance of three consecutive championships.

But the round part on each O'Brien Cup has become a diamond, showing its luxury.

This ring is inlaid with a total of 56 diamonds, the best in history.

On the left side of the ring, Link's name and avatar are engraved. The 0 at the bottom of the avatar is Link's jersey number.

On the right side of the ring, in addition to the 4-1 finals score and the three consecutive championships, there are also two Chinese engraved on the bottom - sacrifice!

These two simple Chinese words show the foundation for the Grizzlies' victory.

Link played with injury, Iguodala's protection, Gasol and Whiteside voluntarily reduced their playing time, Butler's strong confrontation time...sacrifice, this is the Grizzlies spirit that has been throughout the past season.

This is the first time in history that Chinese has been applied to the design of the NBA championship ring.

Of course, these are not the best. The most wonderful thing is that the top of the ring can be detached, which is another pioneering design.

After taking apart the diamond-covered top shell of the ring, inside, a paragraph on the ring was written in Latin font, "The Ring of Witnessing Happiness".

This passage is unique to Link's ring. Others' rings are written here: "The greatest team in the world". Only Link's one is written as "The Ring of Witnessing Happiness".

Its purpose is self-evident.

"Link, I'm ready to go out."

"Okay, come here!"

Link hurriedly took the ring into his bag. For some reason, Link became nervous inexplicably.

This feeling is even more nervous than any time he performed a final kill.

Link curled his lips and took two deep breaths.

This goal cannot be missed no matter what!

※※※

Link and Rachel had a very rich trip this afternoon, and they will travel to this beautiful water capital on the gondola, a unique means of transportation in Venice.

I have to say that even though Link has been to many cities with special styles, Venice left the deepest impression on him.

This Renaissance city is full of literary and artistic atmosphere everywhere.

Surrounded by Renaissance-style buildings, and on the roadside are street artists who are playing classical music. There is no big city hustle and bustle like New York and Los Angeles, nor is it like Memphis and Cleveland, where there is always one or two dark corners that reveal the tumultuousness.

Here, the whole world seems to be bright. If Link wants to evaluate it, he thinks that the whole of Venice is a work of water art.

Nowadays, those who are still in Venice are basically local elderly people and tourists. Most young people only come back to reunite with their families on weekends, so the commercial atmosphere of Venice is still very strong.

Several famous attractions, whether it is Palazzo Rezonico, Golden House, "the most colorful place in the world" Island of Burano or Piazza San Marco, are everywhere.

These places are beautiful, but because of too many people, the romantic atmosphere that originally belonged to Venice has disappeared.

However, when Rachel and Link walked to another famous attraction, Sigh Bridge, they found that there was quiet and no one around.

Logically speaking, the Bridge of Sighs should be one of the very popular photo locations in Venice. But at this time, there was no one under the bridge.

"Let's go Rachel, let's take a picture." Link signaled Gondola to stop under the bridge of sighs, and then shook the boatman with a wink.

Rachel didn't think much about it, she had been looking forward to this stop for a long time.

In fact, the Bridge of Sighs is a small, closed bridge less than 50 meters long. Because there is a prison on one side and a palace on the other side, it spans a small waterway, it has a unique flavor.

In the past, this was the only bridge for prisoners to pass through the Governor's Office to the prison behind. It was named because prisoners often sighed when they passed through this bridge.

Legend has it that when a prisoner sentenced to death walked past this arch bridge with only two hollow windows, he saw his girlfriend through the window and couldn't help but sigh deeply. So later, the Sigh Bridge was interpreted as a famous bridge full of love.

It is said that lovers can stay together for life by kissing under the bridge. The 52nd Academy Award nomination for Best Screenplay "Love in the Sunset Bridge" was filmed here.

At sunset, when the church bell rings, the lovers kissing under the bridge will fall in love forever... This is a time that all lovers yearn for.

"Link, don't you find it strange? Why are the surroundings quiet?" Rachel looked around and still felt strange.

"Maybe we are lucky, and the others may not have come yet. Come and have a photo together, you know the legend of the Bridge of Sighs."

"Of course." Rachel said, hugging Link's neck.

She took out her cell phone and prepared to take a photo with Link that is worth remembering.

But at this time, a light spot swayed in Rachel's eyes on the screen of the phone.

"What is Jin Cancan?" Rachel turned her head and saw that Link was holding a ring in her hand.

At the same time, the boatman on Gondola clapped his hands. In an instant, a crowd poured into the surroundings and began to applaud.

Rachel suddenly covered her mouth, and she finally understood what was going on. But at this time, she couldn't say a word.

"We don't have to envy other people's beautiful families anymore. Rachel. Marry me, we can form a beautiful family by ourselves. This ring was exchanged for blood and sweat, and it is priceless. I think that only such rings can express my feelings."

Link said this, picked up Rachel's hand and put the freshly baked championship ring on Rachel's slender fingers.

Everyone envied Link for possessing this ring, but at this time, this unique ring in the world was worn on Rachel's hand.

"Promise him, promise him, promise him..." The people around him had already arranged the arrangements began to cheer. Rachel smiled on her face, but tears fell from her eyes.

At sunset, Link and Rachel kissed under the bridge of sighs.
