The Grizzlies beat the Spurs and kings back-to-back, making the concept of "sharpening and strangling" put forward by hobby Brown quickly hot in the league.

Even when link watched the news the next day, whether it was news websites, TV news or newspapers, the words "gritand grind" were all listed.

"The Grizzlies' dark blue uniform makes them look like a group of villains, and their defensive supremacy makes them more like a group of villains. But now, we have a better word for Grizzlies than the villains - sharpening and strangling

"I have to admit that the Memphis Grizzlies have finally found their way forward. But there is no doubt that Rudy Gay and O.J. Mayo will be quite embarrassing. "

"Link has become the number one target for the Grizzlies, and he is more suitable for Hollins' system. I think it will be hard for the Rockets to catch up with the Memphis this year

Looking at these reports, link happily went to the sofa, feeling very comfortable. I don't know when, as long as there is positive news about the Grizzlies, it will make link happy for a while. Maybe that's what it feels like to be part of a team.

Today, the Grizzlies don't have to train after playing back-to-back games. Hollins gave the players a day off to relax after playing back-to-back and store up some energy for the last month and a half of the regular season.

Just a few days ago, Rudy Gay had decided to have surgery on his shoulder. This means that the Grizzlies have already lost two seasons this year. A guy, a Xavier Henry.

In order not to let the similar situation happen again, Hollins really dare not carry on the high intensity training now. If the Grizzlies get hurt again, they'll be out of the playoffs.

Hollins arranged a rest for the team, which meant that link could easily spend the last day of February.

Actually, link wanted to go to the training hall for training today, because he was itching to see that the white strips had been filled more and more full.

But that day, Randolph had already said that he would invite everyone to come home and play. Link couldn't break the appointment, so he took a day off.

At noon, link decided to drive down the street to do some shopping. Usually link lives alone and has no company. So, apart from the most basic furniture and food, there is nothing at home.

There were no cards, no snacks, no food except chicken breast and cabbage. Drink? Only water.

When teammates come to the house, they can't sit together and chat with boiled water.

Although Randolph played the party, link didn't dislike it. A group of young people every day in addition to the basketball court is on the way to the basketball court, life is also very boring. Occasionally adjust the team life, think about it is also excellent.

Go to the supermarket to buy some snacks, juice, cards and convenience food, link quickly drove home. We had an appointment to arrive at 5:00 p.m., but link estimated that because of their urination, people might not be able to arrive at 6:00 p.m.

To his surprise, however, his doorbell rang as soon as he arrived at five o'clock.

Link was still curious about who was so punctual, but when he came to the door and saw that it was Mike Conley, link felt forgiven.

Conley has always been the most decent player in the Grizzlies' villain team. He is modest, mature and polite. Such a player seems to be more suitable to play in a place like San Antonio.

This has a lot to do with Conley's background. Most NBA players grew up in a very bad environment in their childhood. Randolph was too poor to buy jeans as a child, so he had to steal them. Tony Allen grew up in a Chicago slum, and many of his childhood friends are now in prison.

Conley, on the other hand, came from a sports family. His father, Mike Conley I, was a triple jumper. He won the silver medal in men's triple jump in 1984 Olympic Games and gold medal in men's triple jump in 1992 Olympic Games.

Conley's biggest hobby is playing the piano, and the price of a piano is enough for a black child in a slum to eat for a whole year.

Therefore, Conley's education from childhood did not allow him to be late. So when Conley arrived at five o'clock, Conley appeared at the door of link's house.

"Mike, come in and have a seat! Didn't Zach come with you? "

"Zach may have to wait for a while. When I called him, he said he just woke up. Ha ha." Conley waved and walked in.

Americans are not as restrained as Chinese people when they visit other people's homes. They will treat your house as their own. Snacks and so on to eat, saw the sofa what also sat very casually. Video game machines and so on, but also pick up to play.

But Conley didn't. He was just sitting on the sofa. It makes link wonder if there is a Chinese soul in that guy's body... Link and Conley even feel a little embarrassed when they are sitting like this...

fortunately, after a while, some people arrived, and we had to talk, and the embarrassing immersion finally dissipated.There are a lot of people coming to the link's house today, most of the Grizzlies are here. Randolph, Gasol, Tony Allen and so on naturally needless to say, their relationship with link is good. Although Battier didn't come, he stayed at home with his wife and children. A good man's weekend is so boring sometimes.

In addition, Mayo and Sam young were also invited. The relationship between the two guys and link was not good, even hostile. But as soon as I heard that there was a card game, I still came to communicate with my teammates.

The old black's brain circuit link really does not understand, Tony Allen and Mayo were so stiff last time, but Mayo came running as if nothing had happened.

But that doesn't matter. As long as Mayo doesn't play, hey, he can do whatever he wants.

Chatting, playing games, playing cards... The rest days of NBA players are actually very simple. However, after eating a pile of convenient food he bought, link still thinks that the Grizzlies are short of a chef like Ibaka.

If people like Ibaka were around, link would have had a good day. Well, as long as he doesn't move, he cooks cattle. Whip.

In the evening, link felt a little stuffy, so he went to the yard to get some air. After going out, I found that I was not the only one who felt bored. Because in the yard, he found Conley looking up at the stars.

"No more cards, Mike?" Link yelled at him, and Conley looked back with a friendly smile.

"I don't really like playing cards very much. I just went to play because they sent people."

"I thought I was the only Grizzlies player who didn't like playing cards. By the way, Mike, it was you who played the Spurs. If it wasn't for your last three points, we wouldn't have won Link found that he and Conley together only talk about the game, talk about the piano? Link doesn't understand.

We still suffer from culture.

"Thank you? Ha ha ha ha ha, so I have to thank you for the pass. We're all for the team. There's nothing to thank you for. "

"You're always so humble, Mike. But the truth is, without you, we couldn't have gone so far. " It's February, but it's not cold tonight.

Conley looked at link, as if surprised. After a long time, I finally said, "thank you."

"You just said that we don't have to say thank you."

"It's just... No one has ever said that to me. You know, I'm the son of an Olympic champion. So when I was a kid, my father's aura hung over my head. In high school at Lawrence high school, the team's number one was Greg Oden, the envied top center. Then he joined Ohio State University with me, and I was still his deputy. People say I'm in high order, because Chris Paul was chosen in fourth place. As if in people's eyes, I will always be a supporting role, is that unimportant role, is an overestimated player, is the role under the halo of others

Link didn't expect Conley to suddenly say so much to him, but in that case, link was willing to be a loyal audience, so he didn't interrupt Conley.

"In most people's eyes, I'm an unimportant role. And you are the first person to say to me, "we can't do without you.". Thank you for your affirmation, link. It's very important to me

For some reason, link suddenly felt that he and Conley were getting closer. So sometimes, sincere praise can really exchange for trust between people.

"I'm just telling the truth, Mike."

Link patted Conley on the shoulder and both returned to the house at the same time.

It seems that once in a while a team gathering can also bring a lot of benefits. It's always no harm to know more about your teammates.
