1213: I have something important to tell you

On the morning of September 19, 2019, Link stood in front of the mirror and tidied up his suit.

In Link's impression, this was the first time he cared about his clothes so much.

Generally speaking, a player will look in the mirror over and over again only when participating in the draft.

But unfortunately, Link is a superstar who has never participated in the draft. But today, he experienced the feeling of participating in the draft.

Link doesn't want to be sloppy when announcing such an important thing.

"The suit fits very well, but" Rachel helped Link tidy up her suit and hugged Link's waist from behind.

"Just what?"

"Just, why is it dark blue again? Almost all your suits are dark blue."

"Because this is the color of our blood." Link smiled, and he used the word "we".

Yes, not just himself. Randolph, Tony Teacher, Conley, and even earlier Butler.

Whenever they appear on someone’s home court in a dark blue “villain robe”, it will be terrifying.

Deep blue, this has long become the symbol of this generation of grizzlies.

Last season, Nike wanted to change the Grizzlies' away jersey to light blue, but Link vetoed it.

Link doesn't care what the Grizzlies' jersey will look like after he retired. But before he retired, he just wanted to wear a dark blue jersey.

"Have you really thought about it? It won't be like Michael Jordan." Rachel behind Link asked again.

What she said "like Michael Jordan" refers to the fact that Jordan has made a comeback twice.

"Don't worry, when I win four consecutive championships, my career will be complete. By then, I should change my life. I don't want to spend my whole life on the basketball court."

Link smiled and kissed Rachel's back of his hand: "Okay, it's time for me to go out. Today's press conference, you can't be late."

"Go and tell the world about your decision, Link."

※※※

Sam Smith looked at Chris Wallace beside him, a little surprised.

He wanted to change his seat, but the entire media reception room was already crowded and there was no room to change.

There is a reason Sam Smith doesn't want to sit with Wallace.

And this is Link.

One of them is the most powerful reporter who is Black Link now, and the other is the most powerful reporter who is now popular with Link now.

Although there are few examples of journalists not coping with each other in the NBA circle, Sam Smith and Chris Wallace are definitely one of them.

In the past few years, Chris Wallace has been giving a lot of helping Link speak out and has been criticizing Sam Smith.

In addition, Wallace was speaking straightforwardly and annoyed Smith many times.

Over time, the walk together becomes the enemy.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect you to come too. It seems that even you admit that the Memphis Grizzlies are the most highly-watched team. The Los Angeles Clippers also had a press conference today. Why don't you go to Los Angeles?" Sam Smith wanted to hide, but Chris Wallace was the opposite.

Seeing Smith beside him, Wallace immediately started complaining.

"I just want to ask Link a few questions." Sam Smith pretended to be calm and pretended to be a steady appearance as a senior.

"I'm just asking, if Link cares about you, I'll eat the microphone! You just want Link's popularity? After all, being scolded by Link now is also a famous way. Just say it just by saying it, he can satisfy you." Chris Wallace doesn't care about Smith's old-fashioned style.

At this point, he and Link are indeed quite similar.

Both of them are assholes!

No wonder the smell is similar.

Just as Sam Smith was about to fight back, Ross, Howard, Jamie Cheung and Morris walked into the media reception room.

It seems that the first event of today's press conference is the display of new players and new jerseys.

Although the Grizzlies' jerseys for the new season have not been changed to light blue, there are still some different small designs.

The biggest difference from last season is that the name of the player behind the jersey is moved from above the traditional jersey number to below the jersey number.

Looking at the entire league, only the Grizzlies' jerseys are designed like this.

Link likes this design quite well. Firstly, this design is very unique. Secondly, Link has always believed that the team's name is always more important than the player's name.

Only by supporting everyone below can we truly support a dynasty army.

And this design with the name below has some meaning.

Ross picked up his No. 1 jersey again and said that Link gave him great encouragement and made him regain his courage. Choosing No. 1 is to challenge his former self, and he will do his best for the team in the new season.

Howard will wear No. 39 in the new season, which is a number that looks very role-player. Maybe Howard chose such a number to express his determination to be a role-player.

Jamie Green wore a No. 00 because he was a fan of Link and also liked Link's No. 0 jersey. After coming to the Grizzlies, he had no choice but to change to No. 00 because of Link's No. 0.

As for the two Morris brothers, Markieff No. 88 and Marcus No. 31, they are basically just numbers that they like.

The official debut of these five Grizzlies new players gave the audience a flash.

Obviously, the performance of these five new players will directly determine the level of the Grizzlies next season.

After five new players appeared, Link, in a suit and tie, walked into the media reception room.

Although Link won't show off his new jersey, he is not a fresh face at the Federal Express Arena.

But his arrival really brought the press conference to its climax.

"Link, do you really think the Grizzlies can complete four consecutive championships with such fierce competition next season!"

"How do you think of Dinwiddie's departure? Do you think it's a betrayal?"

"What kind of role did you play in the Grizzlies' signings this summer? Can you tell me what exactly did you talk to Dwight?"

As soon as Link came in, the reporters immediately lost order.

After all, Link was not interviewed all summer, and the reporters were already hungry and thirsty, as if they were eager to rush up and slap him directly.

In Chris Wallace's words, "Everyone is fucking crazy."

Link first shook hands with five new players from the Grizzlies one by one, and then sat in the middle.

He just pressed down with both hands, and the entire media reception room instantly quieted down.

Ross looked at the courageous Link and shook his head secretly.

What kind of monster did I have been enemies of back then?

"Everything is quiet, my God, so many people have come. Oh? Sam is here too. Are you not used to seeing the six championship banners in the arena? It's the 21st century now, and you have to figure out that the glory of Chicago and Jordan is a thing of the past. It doesn't matter, you have to spend some time accepting the facts for an old antique like you."

As soon as Link came up, he scolded Sam Smith.

Next to Smith, Chris Wallace laughed loudly.

Smith's face was full of black lines, but she was powerless.

There is no way, this is Link's territory.

"Okay, I'm not kidding anymore. No one who comes today will regret it. Because today, I have a big news to announce it."

After Link said that, his heartbeat began to accelerate wildly.

Is this moment really coming?

The reporters were all so arrogant that they didn't dare to let go, for fear of missing any information that Link would say later.

Of course, it is not ruled out that Link is joking with everyone.

After all, Link is a bastard.

"Okay, what's this big news? Well, I'm very grateful to the Memphis fans, and everyone who once fought with me. So, I decided to give back to them with the last championship. Yes, the last championship. Didn't you ask me why I only signed a one-year contract this summer? Because I decided to officially retire after the end of next season."

After Link finished speaking, his face was smiling, but his eyes were already rosy.

Beside him, the five new players of the Grizzlies were all wide open and at a loss.

Retired? What is Link talking about!?

Below, the reporters looked at each other one by one, and were still unresponsive.

Is Link kidding? Or is he serious?

If it's a joke, why are your eyes red?

If it's true

"boom!"
