Robert Pera was very excited and looked forward to it for so long. Finally, he took over the Memphis Grizzlies and gained the team he had always dreamed of. This was his lifelong dream.

But in order to fulfill this dream, Robert Pera is under a lot of pressure. Most of the time, in addition to energy, he also has to pay for his gold power to fulfill his dream. But now, Pera's gold power is slightly insufficient.

Just before the acquisition of the Grizzlies, Pera's technology company had just been listed on the Nasdaq. But its share price plummeted from $34 per share to $9 per share!

But for his dream, Pera still gritted his teeth and won the Grizzlies. But after taking it, Pera's economic situation was actually a bit worrying.

Therefore, Pera doesn't want to wait any longer. He hopes that the Grizzlies can achieve results as soon as possible, so that the Grizzlies' profits will also rise.

To run an NBA team, it is complicated and simple. Because the NBA team wants to make a profit, the most direct way is to improve their performance!

In the past two years, the Grizzlies' ticket prices and broadcast fees have increased a lot, which has made Haasley a fortune. The most important reason is that the Grizzlies' record has improved.

In the past, the Grizzlies were a team without hope for the playoffs, and fans and TV stations certainly did not buy it. But now, as a strong team that reached the Western Conference Finals for two consecutive seasons, the Grizzlies' profits are naturally rising with their results.

Therefore, Pera believes that he must be willing to spend money this summer and must be decisive in making decisions! The Grizzlies' existing lineup is very good and mature, but not at all without loopholes. After filling those loopholes, Pera believes that the Grizzlies will definitely go further next season!

The Grizzlies take a step further, and his economic pressure will disappear!

Pera looked at the calendar, and this might be the first time he was so looking forward to a season that would end soon.

In the summer transfer market, Robert Pera is already impatient.

But before that, Robert Pera has another thing to be sure. Lionel Hollins, will the team renew the contract with the coach?

※※※

Hollins has actually received news from Robert Pera that they will negotiate whether to renew their contract during the offseason.

Hollins has done well in the past two years. The team has made a lot of contributions to the Western Conference Finals for two consecutive years. But it is obvious that his style is inconsistent with what Pera's team hopes.

Pera has always believed that Hollins was a bit too conservative. He is a coach who attaches great importance to defense and overvalues.

In Robert Pera's view, the Grizzlies' offensive potential is actually very large, but none of them have been developed.

Marc Gasol has a soft touch, but can only serve as a frame guard. Mike Conley has comprehensive skills, but can only do tandem offense. The Grizzlies have many examples of things like this.

In this era when even the Spurs began to move from defense to offense, Hollins was indeed a bit too retro when he was still guarding his own acre of three-point land.

Looking short, Hollins can make the Grizzlies a team in the Western Conference Finals level, which is indeed amazing. But looking long, maybe this is his upper limit.

His tactics are not a big problem, but there is nothing to be praised. To be stable or to make breakthroughs is a very tangled and difficult to decide for Pera.

In the end, after careful consideration, Pera chose the latter.

For the team's long-term plan to develop in the future, Pera decided that the team's style must first be changed.

Link had already arrived in Los Angeles at this time, but he came not for training, but for business activities. By the way, he discussed plans for the offseason with his manager Jeff Austin.

Although Link and the Grizzlies have been eliminated, Link has received two personal honors in the past two days.

As the saying goes, when people sit at home, the cake comes from the sky.

Yesterday, NBA officially announced the list of the best defensive team this season.

The selection of the best defensive lineup is different from the best defensive player of the year. The former is selected by the 30 NBA coaches, while the latter is selected by NBA reporters and commentators, so there will inevitably be differences in results.

Therefore, Tyson Chandler, the best defensive player this year, was not selected for the best defensive team.

The selected first team of the best defensive team this year are "Happy Beast" Howard, blocking champion Sergi Ibaka, LeBron James, a 183-year-old Chris and a Grizzlies player, squeezed out Kobe's teammates selected by Kobe with 33 points in this vote, Tony Allen.

The best second team in defense are Rondo, Kobe, Chandler, Garnett and Link who is only in the second grade.

The Grizzlies have two players who can be selected into the best team! Once this news was announced, the whole of Memphis was in full swing!

Although he was only selected for the second team, Link was still very happy. Compared to the fastest-progress player award, the best defensive lineup is a tough honor!

Shaquille O'Neal is awesome? But he has only been selected into the Best Defensive Second Team in his career, and has never been to the First Team. Wade is famous for defending, right? But in fact, he has only been selected into the Best Defensive Second Team. Those who can enter the Best Defensive First Team in the second grade are monster-level guys like Duncan.

It is not common for Duncan, a guy like Duncan, who can make most of the league play bad for him.

So, even if it is just the second team, this is the most valuable award Link has won so far.

The afternoon after the news was announced, Link was so excited. As a result, this was not the end, but just the beginning.

The next day, the NBA League announced the list of the best team this season.

Paul, Kobe, James, Durant and Howard, the most dazzling stars in the league, occupied all five positions in the Best Team.

But in the second team of the Best League, several very conspicuous players were involved.

In the second team of the year, Parker and Bynum are the oldest players. The remaining three positions are Westbrook in the fourth grade, and Link and Griffin in the second grade!

Three of the five players in the second team of the Best Team are new generation players! Everyone couldn't help but sigh that all the young people in this generation are full of vitality!

Among them, the most incredible thing is still Link. After all, the last player who can enter the best team as a undraft is called Ben Wallace! There is only one Ben Wallace.

And Link wrote his name next to Wallace.

"Link has only two years to reach the ceiling of the league in the undraft! I believe that this ceiling will become higher because of Link in the future! Ben Wallace has been selected into the Best Second Team three times and the Best Third Team twice! The Best Second Team is also the most extreme achievement of the players who have no choice in the league. And Link has won the Best Second Team honor in his second grade now!"

"The incredible boy, his results make us often ignore his identity as a loser. Link broke the rules of the game and told the whole world that whether he can succeed in the league depends on his acquired efforts."

"What is the concept of being selected for the Best Second Team as a small forward? In other words, Link is the No. 3 player in the league behind Durant and James! After all, Cameron Anthony has only been selected for the Best Third Team this year!"

"In the second grade, I won the Best Defensive Second Team and Best Second Team at one time, which is definitely a superstar achievement. Although this season is not over yet, to be honest, I have begun to look forward to the performance of Link and the Grizzlies next season. Believe me, they will break through the West!"

Link was in a really good mood. Not only did he trigger the reward clause in the contract, he finally had a hard honor in his career. Moreover, he got two at once!

Although the second double sounds not as nice as the second double double double double double double double double double double double double double double double double double double double double double double round after all, Link is just starting out. He believes that he will not dream in daylight in the future.

However, while being excited, Link discovered a news that was not so popular but was affecting the future development of the Grizzlies.
