Chris Wallace and Robert Pera have had an extremely leisurely season because the Grizzlies' performance is really good.

The worse the team, the busier the general manager and the team boss will be. Because they have to consider how to make the team stronger, they have to consider summer drafts, transfers, signings, and even changes in the management themselves.

The worse the team, the more messy things there are. For example, this season's Lakers and Knicks, these two ancient teams have basically been addicted to the management's own "palace battle" this season and have no intention of changing the team.

Therefore, both the Lakers and the Knicks have failed this year. One has become the bottom of the Western Conference after just a few years of two consecutive championships, while the other has gone from second in the Eastern Conference last season to the eighth place in a mess.

The Grizzlies obviously don't have such troubles, because the team's performance is good, everything is calm. They just need to stabilize the current lineup of the Grizzlies to ensure that the Grizzlies are still the best team in the league.

So much so that the boss Pera was so bored that he had to make bets with Jordan some time ago to pass the time. But he didn't expect that he would go to the appointment with the determination to lose, but because of Link.

This summer, the only important task for the Grizzlies is to renew Link. As of now, it is only a matter of time before the contract renewal is successful. Link does not want to leave Memphis, and Pera is willing to offer Link the highest price.

At this point, the Grizzlies are much more worry-free than the Heat. Because the Heat don’t even know whether they can keep LeBron this summer.

So, the Grizzlies management may be one of the most leisurely management of the 30 teams this season.

However, no matter how leisurely you are, there is not nothing to do. As April approaches, the NCAA game is about to come to an end. All teams have also begun to look for goals at this year's draft.

The Grizzlies have been as unsuccessful as ever this year. This is a happy worry, but this does not mean that they can give up the draft directly, especially when the Grizzlies have discovered several interesting goals.

"Are there any gains?" Robert Pera saw Chris Wallace walk in and asked directly.

The Grizzlies General Manager came today to report on several potential draft goals.

"There are quite a few, as Link said, there are indeed many interesting players outside of NCAA." Wallace raised his report and sat opposite Pera.

"I have read a lot of information about international players and found that in recent years we have many good international players available. And the most important thing is that most of them will not be selected by other teams with more picks."

After hearing this, Pera nodded and signaled Wallace to start the report. If you want to say which team in the league will not underestimate the low-coupon international players, it must be the Memphis Grizzlies.

After all, Marc Gasol, the best defensive player last season, was selected in the second round. As it turned out, the low-coupled international players had extremely strong plasticity after entering the NBA. And don't forget that the current pillar of the Grizzlies, Link, was still a undraft.

Therefore, for the Grizzlies, even the low pick is worthy of careful consideration.

Wallace then opened the information and began to give a report to Pera.

"Nemaria Belica, who currently plays for the Turkish club Fenerbache Urco, is one of the most versatile players in Europe. He has the hope of winning the MVP of the European League this season. He is 2.08 meters tall but has the technical characteristics of a small forward. He is an all-round player with outstanding basketball IQ and a stable pitcher. You can perform pick-and-roll cutting and cooperation around him. Whether on both offense and defense, his understanding of the game has been very helpful. He can grab most rebounds and then efficiently convert it into teammates' scores. If you train more, God knows whether he will become the European version of Kevin Durant. Currently, Belica's signing rights are in the hands of the Timberwolves, but if you seek a deal, it will not be too difficult."

"The other guy, currently playing for Mario Hezonia in Barcelona, ​​is very athletic, and he is fearless. His inner arrogance is enough to be compared with American players. Of course, on the surface, he has not scored too many points in the European league, but everyone sees his ball control and shooting ability. Do you know what people call him? Kobe, Croatia! However, he won't be able to participate in the draft next year."

Chris Wallace said, and Robert Pera listened carefully. Logically, the team boss actually doesn't have to worry about these things, and the general managers can complete these work alone. But as a young boss, Pera is very willing to participate in the team building himself.

Wallace said several people, such as Durant, Croatia and Kobe, who were bluffing names, which made Pera stunned.

"The last player, Nikola Jokic, currently plays in the Italian league. As a big man, this guy's passing talent and sense of field position are unparalleled. This is particularly important for his age. But he looks... to be honest, similar to Marc Gasol of that year. He looks so fat that he doesn't look like a professional player. His athletic ability may not be able to adapt to NBA games."

Wallace originally didn't want to add Jokic to the observation list because in this era when the pace is getting faster and faster, the center has to follow the small ones to run. A "large fortress" like Jokic is really outdated.

However, with the principle of "not letting go of any possibility", Wallace finally decided to add Jokic.

Little did he know that after listening to Jokic's report, Robert Pera frowned, "Nicolo Jokic? I seem to have heard Link mention that guy."

"Is that so? Link also watches the Italian league? I thought he was paying more attention to ncaa. Speaking of ncaa, it was really an upset last night. Kansas, who owns Wiggins and Embiid, actually lost to the 10th seed Stanford University. This game probably caused many people to lose money."

"Yes, but this is the charm of March Crazy." Pera smiled. Sure enough, it was still easier for ncaa to attract common topics.

When Randolph came to the training hall in the morning, it was like he lost last night.

He shook his face and wrote all his displeasure on his face. Although it was not himself who lost the game yesterday, he lost thousands of dollars.

In addition to Randolph, most of the Grizzlies also lost money. Link and Nick Young became the biggest winners of this bet.

Link was speechless when he learned the result of the game the next day. He just bought it randomly, but he could really win... March Crazy, it was really crazy. Unintentionally, Link earned tens of thousands of dollars overnight.

"Link, you must have studied the game secretly! Although you are indifferent to this game on the surface, you must have studied it for a long time, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't buy it so accurately!"

Faced with Randolph's accusation, Link was quite innocent. There were only two teams in total, and it was normal to guess it with a 50% chance.

"Okay, is it that difficult to admit that you have bad luck? Don't be depressed, Kansas is the one who loses, not you. Tonight, I will let you win back." Link patted Randolph on the shoulder. If you have bad luck, drinking cold water will stuff your teeth. This is fate!

So that night, the Grizzlies easily defeated the invading Timberwolves 109-92 at home. Faced with this team with a winning rate of only 50%, the Grizzlies won the blood of the soldiers.

Link scored only 22 points in this game, but gave 12 assists and scored a double-double in the seventh consecutive game. Most of the wonderful passes were given to Randolph.

Randolph had a great time playing today. Facing Love who was unwilling to defend, Randolph was overwhelmed and scored the team's highest 26 points, causing Love, who only scored 16 points and had a shooting percentage of only 33%.

After the game, Randolph finally smiled again.

"Zach, what do you think of this game? Why did you suddenly explode without warning?" The reporters were very curious about Randolph's outbreak.

But Randolph knew that he could score so many points today because Link attracted the defense and could always deliver the ball accurately to him.

So, Randolph shrugged in front of the camera, "This is Link's great power, really. Whether it's betting or playing basketball, Link is first-class."
