When Jimmy Butler returned to the Federal Express Arena again, he was filled with emotions when he looked at the six championship flags on the Arena.

He still remembers that when he came to the Grizzlies, the dome of the Federal Express Arena was still empty.

There are neither retired jerseys nor any honor pennants here.

Not to mention the championship flag, even the championship flag cannot be seen.

But what about now?

The honors in the Federal Express arena are the most popular in the league except for the two giants in the Lakers and Celtics.

And three of these six championship pennants are worthy of Butler.

When Butler entered the court, he received cheers and applause from Grizzlies fans.

This scene is not common. You should know that Memphis fans will not cheer the players of other teams easily.

But Jimmy Butler is one of the exceptions.

Although he has been away from the Grizzlies for many years, every time Butler returns to the Federal Express Arena, he will enjoy such treatment.

After all, he was the first hero in the third consecutive championship, who doesn’t love it?

Butler was very moved to see the fans cheering for him.

What is the most precious gain of a professional player? A salary of tens of millions of yuan? A championship?

Those are precious, but not the most precious to Butler.

The most precious thing is the love of others.

Kobe and Jordan have retired for so many years and are still missed by fans. This is the real ultimate achievement.

Butler is very glad that at least he is in Memphis, he should not be forgotten by fans.

Beside Butler, Kendrick Nunn looked around curiously, looking at the exaggerated six championship pennant.

"This is the Federal Express Arena..." Nunn muttered as he looked, as if he had arrived at the holy land.

Butler smiled. For his own generation, the Basketball Holy Land might be the Staples Center, Madison Square Garden, Boston's North Shore Garden, or even the United Center of Chicago.

But in the hearts of Nunn, the new generation of players, the Federal Express Arena is the holy place for basketball!

Here was the greatest player since Jordan and the greatest team after the Bulls in the 1990s.

Moreover, what Link loves more is that he proves that origin does not determine everything about you.

Even if you are just a loser, you may become a historical superstar.

Back then, Allen Iverson let people know that small people can also rule the basketball court.

Therefore, countless young men took him as their idol and worked hard.

However, as a undrafted pick, Link, who has never even played in the first-tier NCAA league, is more down-to-earth than Ai.

It is more in line with people's expectations for "ordinary people to make a name for themselves in NBA".

Although Link is actually not ordinary at all.

"Stop looking, the Grizzlies at the Federal Express Arena are no stronger than the Grizzlies at the American Airlines Center. Last time we won them at home, and this time we can win at their home court," he said.

Butler patted Nunn on the shoulder, and Nunn also put away his surprised gaze and turned back to the bad boy.

Soon, the Grizzlies players also appeared to warm up.

Butler turned his head and found familiar faces.

Although Conley changed from a buzz cut to a dreadlock, it still didn't change. Gasol still looked like that, but there were more wrinkles.

Iguodala's hair is getting shorter and shorter every year, and this year it is already a hairstyle that is close to bald.

And what about Link?

He really hasn't changed at all.

It's still as energetic as a few years ago, and it's full of energy and trust.

"Don't say hello to old friends?" Nunn poked Butler with his elbow, and Butler also noticed that Link was staring at him.

But Butler shook his head slightly at Link, then turned around: "Old friend? Don't make a mistake. Before the game is over, we are mortal enemies! Be prepared for Nunn, we are not here to reminisce today!"

"Hello, boss!" Nunn was ready to beat Conley, as if he could no longer help but want to abuse Conley.

Link in the distance watched Butler turn around and urge his teammates to warm up, and curled his lips: "Tsk, what's cool to play."

But this is in line with Butler's character. Just like himself, he is both stinky and stubborn!

Before the game started, Linker brought everyone together and reminded his teammates: "I hope you haven't forgotten that in the three games we lost this season, one of the Miami Heat gave us. Reciprocity is the most basic politeness. So, let the guests experience our enthusiasm today!"

After Link finished speaking, he took the starting five tigers into the middle circle.

At the same time, Hubby Brown also began his commentary work.

"Ten consecutive victories are right in front of you. In a blink of an eye, the small goal that Link set at the beginning was almost achieved!"

Now, there must be many reporters who are glad that they did not question Link for the ten consecutive wins at the beginning. Otherwise, they would be embarrassed again now.

"Although the Grizzlies are only one step away from the goal of ten consecutive victories, this step is not easy to go. The Miami Heat is a stronger team than people think. Their 19-7 record is incomparable to the Bucks, but such a result is already at the level of the first tier of the league."

"By the way, the Heat have made many strong teams overturn this season. Among them, there are the Memphis Grizzlies! They seem to be a replica of the Grizzlies back then. Their talent is not that great, and the probability of winning the championship is not high. But any team will have to take off a layer of skin when encountering the Heat. I believe that the Heat will definitely not mind being in the hurdle of Link's ten consecutive victories. After all, this is like the style of a big villain."

Hubby Bryn also likes the Heat because he sees the shadow of the Grizzlies in the Heat.

Both sides started to enter the central circle. Although the Heat were full of "mobs", they did not show any timidity when facing the defending champion.

Kendrick Nunn stared at Conley with a look of "I'll definitely eat you today."

I don’t know, I thought Conley was the rookie in the draft and Nunn was the All-Star guard.

Butler also looked at Link. The two had no conversation before the game today, so now they are less warm and have more gunpowder.

In the stands, Grizzlies fans already raised their cards to celebrate their ten-game winning streak.

But Jimmy Butler dismissed.

He is specifically here to destroy the ten consecutive victories.

This rebellious mentality was exactly what Link taught Butler.

The referee threw the ball and the game officially began!

With his height advantage, Meyers Leonard won the first attack for the Heat.

After this white center has grown a beard this season, he looks much wild.

The basketball fell into Kendrick Nunn's hands, and the No. 25 guard was completely indifferent to the youth of a first-year player.

After getting the basketball, he immediately started to attack!

One obvious feature of the Heat's ball this season is that they do not have a very obvious role distinction. Even Jimmy Butler has no privileges when comparing with other players.

Butler averaged only 13.4 shots per game this season, although it is still the highest in the team, but as many as six people have averaged more than 11 shots per game by the Heat.

So, Butler would not hold the ball as soon as he came up like Antetokounmpo and others.

This is related to the Heat's playing style this season. Spoelstra hopes to build the Heat into a team that wins the game by relying on teams, rather than a team that relies on individual stars to fight.

After all, there are so many capable people this season, so there is no need to waste it.

As it turns out, they did a good job. Butler's average of 6 assists this season is much higher than any previous season. It seems that he also likes his position at the Heat.

Only in this case can Kendrick Nunn have room to play.

Nunn took the ball to Conley and used a beautiful shaking to dodge a little space.

Conley tried hard to catch up, but Nunn suddenly stopped outside the three-point line!

This time, Nunn shook Conley away from his body.

Without hesitation, Nunn made a three-pointer.

Nunn's three-point shooting percentage can reach 36.2% this season, which is quite good.

Moreover, Nunn made a quick move and was very good at dribbling and suddenly shot from a long distance.

When he was signed by the Warriors last season, he was called "Little Curry".

Conley was a little overwhelmed, and he didn't expect Nun to be so confident.

In the end, basketball was added to the net, and Nunn took the lead for the Heat.

He brought his outstanding form yesterday in training to the field.

Nunn was ranked second in the scoring list during the NCAA period, second only to Trae Young, and is a well-deserved star player. Therefore, his scoring ability is actually very strong.

The reason why Nunn lost the election is because he is 1.88 meters tall and not quite good enough. The other is because he is a little older, just like Link, he is a senior rookie.

The most important point is that Nunn had caused trouble off the court.

Nunn originally played at the University of Illinois during college. After playing for a year, he entered the game by attacking others and was expelled from the University of Illinois. After that, he had to transfer to Oakland because he didn't score in a semester.

When he participated in the 18th draft as a senior, other teams also kept a distance from such players with pre-discipline. So, this top scorer in NCAA was defeated.

It is not a metaphor to say that Nunn is a bad boy, this guy is really bad.

But facts also prove that without these trashing things, Nunn would not be just a undraft.

After scoring the goal, Nunn made a bow and archery action, aiming at the Grizzlies' championship pennant.

"Good job, just fight like this!" Butler also yelled at Nunn, and the two of them were very excited.

After Nunn retreated to his half, he hooked his fingers at Conley very rampantly.

Bad is really bad.
Chapter completed!
