Outside the Bradley Center, the fans who came from afar were cheering and crying.

Link won, and the total score of the series became 3-0. His ultimate goal of achieving four consecutive championships can basically be said to have been achieved.

But at the same time, this also means that this will be the last glorious night of Link's career.

The fans are both happy and sad.

Many fans raised the signs in their hands and begged Link to stay.

He is only 32 years old, he is in good health and has never suffered a devastating injury in his career so far.

He is at his peak, and he can still fight!

Everyone hopes Link can continue this crazy performance, not end it all.

And what they wanted to say was said by Stephen A. Smith.

Link stayed there, and he didn't expect that Stephen A. Smith, who had always been unfair, would say such things.

It was obviously a happy night worth celebrating, but now it is a bit more sad.

Link and Stephen A. Smith looked at each other for a few seconds, neither of them spoke.

Stephen A. Smith was waiting for Link's reply, but Link didn't know what to say for a moment.

The two looked at each other for about half a minute before Link slowly spoke: "I can't bear to leave the court, Stephen. But I've made a decision, man. Let's start the interview, otherwise the fans will all turn the table."

"Is there no room for rethinking?" Stephen A. Smith continued to ask, knowing that it would be impossible to keep Link just by saying a few words.

But he still hopes to give it a try.

He didn't want his favorite player to leave the stage of history like this.

Stephen A. Smith is famous for his sarcastic words. He will always be criticized whether you are a rookie or a league superstar.

But only Link, he never squirted.

It is not difficult to see Link's position in Stephen A. Smith's heart.

"At least, I won't change my decision now, Stephen." Link patted Stephen A. Smith on the shoulder, his answer was clear.

After hearing this, Smith nodded silently, then re-established his emotions and signaled the camera to start shooting.

"Hello everyone, everyone, the one standing by my side is Link, Link, who has created miracles again, today's game..."

※※※

This is the first time that Milwaukee has become the center of attention in the world, but unfortunately, people's eyes are all on Milwaukee's enemies.

Link's 50-point battle became the first explosive point in this year's finals.

Of course, in addition to 50 points, what people are most concerned about now is Link's career planning.

So much so that at the post-match press conference, the reporters immediately changed the topic after asking a few questions related to 50 points.

"Link, the next game will most likely be the last game of your career. Do you really want to choose to retreat at the peak of the sky?"

"Today, there are tens of thousands of fans outside the Bradley Center holding up signs to keep you. This is not the first time that fans have spontaneously tried to keep you, Link. Will their actions change your mind?"

"Everyone wants to see your legend continue. What do you think?"

Regarding Link's retirement, the record of 50 points in the ninth single game in the playoffs seems to be worth mentioning.

After all, records can be recreated. But a legendary career cannot be copied.

Link was not in a hurry when facing the reporters' questions.

He approached the microphone calmly, with a smile on his lips.

The reporters on the scene dared to swear to God that this was one of the few friendly moments that Link had at the press conference in the past ten years.

"How to say it? Thank you for your concern and retention. Fortunately, I can have so many people who love me. But everything has an end, and the end of my career is now. I owe my family too much, and I just want to make up for it with the rest of my time."

"I love my wife, children, but over the years I've been separated from my family. Most of the time, my figure is missing in my house, and my child is depressed when he hears I'm going out to play away. I can't even...can't take a weekend to spend with her to the park."

Link is talking more and more. Today, he decided to dig out his heart with reporters and fans.

"I don't know if you can imagine what kind of life it is. Anyway, I'm tired of it. It's not tired of basketball, it's tired of separation from my family. I hope that I can focus on my family for the rest of my life. I admit that this is a bit selfish, but for six or seven championship trophys, I think I should be a little selfish once, right?"

Link said, smiling himself, but no one could laugh.

Everyone was surprised to find that this was the first time in ten years that Link had revealed his true feelings.

Link has always been a tough guy in people's hearts, a godlike existence, and a monster who will stick to the end no matter what difficulties he has.

He didn't know what mercy or sadness was. No matter what happened, he would always rush out a way like a killing machine.

So many people have ignored it. Link is also a person with seven emotions and six desires!

Until today, journalists have seen Link's tender side for the first time in ten years.

Although he has achieved great achievements in NBA, he is no different from most of you and me.

He would feel guilty and miss his wife and daughter. When the family was watching the Christmas battle of the Grizzlies in front of the TV, why didn’t Link want to spend the festival with his family?

Seeing that the reporters could not speak, Link continued to speak.

He just said something to reporters and fans. Now, it’s time to say it to his teammates.

"Besides, there is no team in this world that can always rely on someone. The Magic and Kobe cannot stay with the Lakers for the rest of their lives, and Michael cannot play with the Bulls until now. I think my departure is a very right decision for the Grizzlies. We have many outstanding young players, and I believe they can have a bright future. I continue to occupy the core position and will only hinder their development. You must believe that even if I do not have me in the future, the Grizzlies will still be the most powerful contender for the championship."

"Thank you for your support over the past ten years. Without you, I can't get to where I am now. I apologize to you again, but I still want to live my own life. This is my reply, and I hope you can understand."

After saying that, Link stood up, nodded at everyone, and turned around and left.

The reporters looked at each other and fell into silence.

Link has said this, what else can I keep?

Whether to retire or not is Link's personal decision, and no one can interfere.

Link does not belong to a certain person. You can't just keep him and bind him to his life just because everyone wants to watch him play basketball.

The reporters had prepared many questions, and even prepared a lot of comments to persuade Link to leave.

But now, everyone is relieved.

A window was closed, but for Link, the door to a new world and a new life was waving to him.

Ten minutes later, Link's statement was conveyed to every fan's mobile phone.

The timeliness of news in the Internet era is indeed well-deserved.

Outside the Bradley Center, fans gradually dispersed.

Since it is impossible to keep, why not change the retention into blessing?

Link has dedicated a wonderful decade to them, and now, they have paid tribute to Link.

Half an hour later, the discussions on the Internet that tried to keep Link disappeared. Instead, a sentence was offered by basketball fans from all over the world in different languages.
