1004: The Quiet Morning After the War (Chapter 4)
When Link woke up the next day, his head was not as painful as the previous two years.
He looked beside him, and Rachel was still sleeping soundly.
Link smiled and said, this year, he will take care of Rachel.
Link tiptoed up and quietly left the bedroom.
Walking into the kitchen, looking at the sunny weather outside the window, and looking at the lake rippling with the breeze in the backyard, Link was in a very comfortable mood.
This may be the best day in my mood in a few months.
There is no pressure, no pain, no competition, there is only soft sunshine, and this peaceful morning.
Of course, there is also the third brand new championship trophy and the FMVP trophy.
While grilling the toast, Link recalled the wonderful experience of last night.
After harvesting the O'Brien Cup last night, Link once again won the FMVP trophy from Bill Russell without any suspense.
Although in the original history, this year's fmvp should be Iguodala. And Chacha Iguodala is in the Grizzlies and also performed well.
But Link's performance is completely incomparable to Iguodala.
The first game was reversed by 9 points in the last 8 minutes, and the second game was intercepted in the last 4.2 seconds and the jump shot and scored the final shot.
In addition, there are 37.2 points, 8.7 rebounds, 7.4 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.7 blocks per game in the finals!
This exaggerated data is amazing. Especially the average 37.2 points per game is second only to Jordan in the finals!
You know, even if Link is included, there are only five players who can average more than 35 points in the finals in the entire NBA history.
One is Iverson's average of 35.8 points against the Lakers in the 2001 Finals, and the other is James' average of 35.8 points this year. That's right, James has also become one of the few players in NBA history who can average 35+ points in the finals.
But under the premise of missing the championship, this record also becomes meaningless.
Iverson and James both averaged 35+ points per game but lost the championship, while the other three averaged 35+ points per game and the championship.
One is O'Neal in 2002, and the other is Jordan who averaged a terrifying 41 points per game in the 1993 Finals!
Link became the third player. At the same time, he was also the player with the highest average score in the finals except Jordan.
Such performance is enough to make Link win the FMVP for the third consecutive year.
Therefore, Link also became the fourth player in NBA history to win the All-Star MVP, regular season MVP and finals MVP in a single season!
For Link, this was undoubtedly a season full of honor.
After the award ceremony, the Grizzlies players continued to party in the locker room.
But this year, Link did not drink uncontrollably like he had in the previous two years. He wanted to wake up and enjoy this great moment of honor.
So, Link didn't become drunk until the end. Instead, Rachel, who was equally happy, drank a little too much.
This was the first time in three consecutive championships, and Link returned to his home in a sanity.
So today, Link woke up earlier than Rachel, and was not as uncomfortable as before.
After recalling the wonderful night yesterday, Link took out his phone and looked at it. He was curious about how the media and the outside world would evaluate the Grizzlies and his season.
As a result, as soon as I took out my phone, I received a bunch of push messages.
The most conspicuous information is an article by Bill Simmons.
Link clicked and saw a big golden title immediately caught his eye.
“Memphis Grizzlies created their golden age!”
This title is very exaggerated, but Link likes it very much.
This exaggerated title just fits their exaggerated achievements.
Link probably read the content, which made him a little unbelievable that this was an article written by Bill Simmons.
"The Memphis Grizzlies established a dynasty for three consecutive championships. Until now, many people are unwilling to accept the fact that the Memphis Grizzlies, a down-and-out team that "fled" from Vancouver has dominated the league. But whether you accept it or not, this is an era for the Grizzlies!"
"From 2012 to now, the championship has never changed hands. They have broken up the incredible Heat Big Three, defeated the invincible Thunder and the experienced Spurs. Now, they have killed two more powerful opponents, the Warriors and the Cavaliers. In other words, the Memphis Grizzlies have no opponents in the league at all!"
"Let's talk about the key to establishing the Grizzlies' dynasty. If I list all the honors he won in the season, you might be dazzled! The best player in the 6-month season, the three-star MVP, the All-Star Ticket King, the Double First Team, the Best Defensive Player... These are just hard honors, and Link also has a lot of incredible records."
"The first player to win 20 points and triple-double in the first half, the player with the most consecutive triple-double in NBA history (10 times), the highest overtime score record (17 points), the fourth player in history to be the All-Star vote king for three consecutive years, the most votes in All-Star votes, the first player in history to win all the best awards in the single season, the All-Star single-game score leader (48 points), the All-Star half-game score leader (27 points), the first player in history to score 5x5 data in the playoffs..."
"Okay, I can't continue writing anymore, I believe you've already been dazzled. Let's stop here, otherwise this article will not be able to continue. I want to say that this is not only the golden age of the Grizzlies, but also an era of Link. He is the greatest star of this era, and even no one. What, are you worried that Link will be lonely in the next five years? Please, be realistic, that's impossible!"
Bill Simmons praised Link and the Grizzlies throughout the article, and Link was really not used to it after reading it.
Since shaved his head, this guy Simmons has become completely black and turned into a fan.
As for news on other platforms, the title is also very exaggerated.
"Three consecutive championships, the Grizzlies have ranked among the best teams in history!"
"In the spring of the small football market, the first dynasty established by the small football market team in NBA history was born!"
"Can Link launch an attack on the second dynasty as a rival Jordan?"
"Sadly, LeBron failed to challenge for three consecutive years, and he will become the most dazzling background board under the Link dynasty."
Link looked around and found that this time, no media jumped out as a clown.
Almost all news is a praise for the Grizzlies and themselves.
Link couldn't help but smile. In front of a dynasty team, even the media that had always been so humble.
Just then, Link heard the movement of the stairs.
Turning his head and seeing Rachel walks down from the second floor bedroom in her white T-shirt.
"woke up?"
"What are you doing? When did you get up?"
"I just woke up not long ago. Come on, I've prepared breakfast. Drinking a cup of hot milk can relieve your stomach discomfort."
"Oh my God, the best basketball player in the world is actually making breakfast for me."
"Well, you are the only one who has such treatment."
Link said, putting the toast and milk on the table.
But Rachel walked straight towards Link and threw herself into his arms.
"What a great thing, this quiet morning...I really want to be like this every day from now on."
"Yes, Rachel."
"Is that true? You'll start to get busy again in a week."
"No, I can stay with you longer this time. Hey, let's go to Europe this summer, how about Italy?"
Rachel looked at Link and felt a little incredible, "Are you talking about traveling? Not your summer basketball camp?"
"Let's talk about those things when you come back." Link turned his head and after winning the championship, he still had a very important task this summer.
Chapter completed!
