Rachel opens her eyes. The talent just dawns. Christmas was coming, but she was not in the mood to celebrate.

To be sure, since she said goodbye to basketball, her life suddenly lost its purpose. College life is the most free release of youth for others, but for her, it is a boring life.

Unlike most girls, she has an extraordinary love for basketball. Rachel has been obsessed with basketball since she came into contact with basketball in high school. Basketball for her is not a simple hobby, once in the newspaper, people can often see a horsetail, wearing No. 32 Jersey female player's figure.

In general, most of the female players who can achieve such achievements in high school will be favored by college teams.

Rachel is no exception. In her third year of high school, she has already obtained many olive branches from universities. It seems that this is the track of her life to fight for NCAA and enter professional basketball.

However, at the height of her basketball career, everything changed.

Senior four due to accidental injuries, the team's record encounter Waterloo. That year, Rachel was depressed and thought she was suffering from gastric ulcer because of her stress.

Rachel's in the middle of her stomach, crazy weight loss. For an average girl, weight loss may be a beauty. But for a professional basketball player, weight loss is nothing to celebrate.

After a bad year in senior high school, Rachel's market dropped sharply. Finally, she failed to enter the women's basketball school, but came to the University of Oklahoma.

As a result of the high school hit too much, Rachel entered college almost no how to play or watch the ball. Because every time she saw others galloping on the basketball court and thought of the life she should have, she couldn't help feeling miserable.

To her, basketball is like a first love. Although beautiful, but destined to say goodbye.

Rachel shook her head and didn't recall the sad things. She took out her mobile phone to have a look, as always, there are several lengtouqing to her confessed SMS.

But in addition to the boring text messages, Rachel got a news feed. After seeing the news headlines, the lazy college girl sat up.

"Link signed a 10 day short contract with Memphis Grizzlies, and the Chinese forward will continue to move toward the NBA."

Simple title, simple content, but let Rachel feel full of power.

She didn't want to touch basketball any more, but since she met the Chinese American player, she learned the story of the guy who insisted on his dream, and she still refused to give up after seeing link was abandoned by the NBA. Until now, he has another chance to realize his dream, and Rachel's heart has changed.

As long as you don't give up, opportunities always come, don't you?

Rachel smiles. Maybe she doesn't have to give up. She doesn't have to be so sad every day. Basketball is a game for the survival of the strong.

"Link has been successful, you have to be strong!" Rachel cheers herself up. Then she picks up her cell phone and sends a text message to link.

"Congratulations."

Today, link was going to Texas to play away. But as soon as he woke up early in the morning, he was informed by Jeff Austen, "you're going to the NBA."

The second time he heard the news, link was obviously not as excited as he was when he entered the NBA for the first time.

"To where?" Link's tone was calm because he knew that a short 10 day contract was far from a success. He also got a 10 day short contract with the Rockets. What happened?

When he signs a security contract and really gets a foothold in the NBA, it's not too late to be excited.

"Go to Memphis. The Grizzlies need you."

"Memphis grizzly bear?" Link was surprised. He didn't expect Jeff Austen to take himself to the Grizzlies.

As an ordinary Chinese fan in his previous life, link's understanding of Grizzlies was very limited. After all, the Grizzlies have always been a less popular team in China.

First of all, the Grizzlies are a defensive team, which means that the Grizzlies' game will not be very enjoyable. Second, the Grizzlies have always been short of superstars. Mike Conley and mark Gasol can't bring much popularity to the Grizzlies.

Finally, and most importantly, none of the Grizzlies have won any real honors. Don't say it's the championship. The Grizzlies didn't even win the championship in the 10 years when link watched the ball.

The Grizzlies' most popular period in China was the year when they selected Wang Zhelin at the draft convention. But the heat lasted only a little while, because the Grizzlies never signed with Wang.

Although the general manager of the Grizzlies always said that they were observing Wang Zhelin's situation from time to time, they never had any substantive action.This is what link knows about Memphis Grizzlies, a team that has never been more popular in China.

"Why Memphis?" After thinking about it, link continued to ask. Although as a drop off draft, he is not eligible to choose a team for the time being.

But there must be a reason for Jeff Austen to leave Memphis.

"First of all, if you want to get a foothold in the NBA, you need to play time. If, like in the Rockets, every game is just a few minutes of junk time, you can never sign a security contract. And in the Grizzlies, you have a better chance of playing time! Because the Grizzlies have few candidates for position three except Rudy Gay

Jeff Austin paused, waited for link to "digest" his words, then continued: "Tony Allen is more suitable for the second position, Sam young can play small forward, but his performance has been very unstable. Kentucky's first-year rookie forward Xavier Henry had been highly anticipated by the Grizzlies, but unfortunately he has been out of season due to injury. Therefore, the Grizzlies need a stable third place substitute. This is a better place for you to grow wild than Houston, link

"Wild growth?" Link nodded. He liked Jeff Austen's words.

Indeed, no matter how strong you are, it doesn't make sense if you can't show it.

In the Rockets, link has not been in the team's plan, Adelman is merciful, never let link play more than five minutes.

Although the Memphis Grizzlies are not popular, Lincoln has a chance to show up. As a drop - off draft and Development League player, link doesn't expect to play first. From the bench to do a good job, step-by-step firm heel, has been considered a success.

"What's more, the Grizzlies' system and playing style are suitable for you. They like to play a regular positional battle, like to win by defense, and also lack a stable three-point projection point. Most importantly, unlike other fish bellied teams, the Grizzlies still have a chance to play in the playoffs this season. So, in my opinion, there is no better match for your team than the Memphis Grizzlies. "

"What do you think, link?" After giving link some time to think, Jeff Austen finally asked again.

This time, link nodded, "when are we going to report to Memphis?"

Jeff Austin was relieved. He was worried at first that link didn't trust him. But it turns out that if you do a good job, you can win trust.

"I'll buy you a ticket to Memphis right away. You should join your new team tomorrow

Hang up and link starts packing. I don't know why, he is full of confidence in this NBA tour.

Maybe it's because this time he's no longer alone.

Thinking of this, link put away his basketball shoes. A few simple letters on the side of the basketball sole have not been erased - rest, Zick.
