On the first day of the NBA playoffs, the fierce battle feasted the fans.

The Bulls, the number one in the East, easily defeated the Pacers 104-99. Ross scored 39 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists in the game. This guy showed a strong strength that was inconsistent with his age.

The Mavericks killed George Carl's Denver Nuggets 89-81, Nowitzki and Old Kidd scored 52 points in this game, completely suppressing the Nuggets without stars. The Nuggets must be very depressed. If it weren't for the Grizzlies, they shouldn't have encountered such a strong opponent.

The Heat beat the Philadelphia 76ers 97 to 89, and the Big Three scored 73 points together, showing the Heat's horror in the playoffs.

The styles of these three games are different, and the reasons for winning are also different. But one thing is that these three games are teams with higher rankings in the regular season, and they have no suspense to play the teams with lower rankings.

Only the Memphis Grizzlies, who is ranked fifth in the West, beat the fourth in the West!

They are currently the only team in the playoffs to be in the following position!

"The Grizzlies finally dreamed of winning their first playoff game yesterday, and it was particularly difficult to do this away."

"Link, the first game of the series scored 20 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, and Zach Randolph even scored a career playoff high of 34 points. If anyone else thinks that the Grizzlies don't have the strength to compete with the Thunder, then he must be a fool."

"I know, the Thunder are attracting much attention this season. They have Durant, who has a great scoring ability, Westbrook, who always appears in the top ten goals, and a young and powerful sixth man, James Harden. But this is a basketball court, and fame does not mean everything. I have to say that the Thunder are indeed much more famous this season than the Grizzlies. But NBA always speaks based on strength!"

"I don't know how many people were surprised by the results of yesterday's game. A team with the best young people in the league actually lost to the Memphis Grizzlies, who are considered to be a bad record. During the regular season, the Grizzlies actually showed great strength. I said that the ranking of the Grizzlies is inconsistent with their strength. Because it was almost after Rudy Guy's injury that the Grizzlies really established their core lineup. If the Grizzlies played like this at the beginning of the season, their ranking might be fifth in the West!"

"If NBA2k Game intends to launch a classic team, I recommend adding this season's Memphis Grizzlies. They are a special team. They may not be the top team in the league, but any team will suffer from the Grizzlies."

On the first day of the series, there were four games. But the game between the Grizzlies and the Thunder attracted the most attention and discussion. Even the three giants of Miami have not overshadowed the Grizzlies' enthusiasm.

After all, it is reasonable for the Heat to win the 76ers. The Big Three scored 73 points together, and fans have long been accustomed to it.

But the Grizzlies beat the Thunder, Link scored 20 points in his first playoff appearance, and Randolph set a record of new playoff scores in his career, which is very special to the fans.

A team that ranked fifth in the West and has always had little attention became the favorite of the entire league overnight, and even Link felt a little uncomfortable.

Finally, the Grizzlies became the protagonist once. They became the object of discussion and the center of television news coverage.

This is the playoffs. There is a spotlight here, it depends on whether you can catch it.

The day after the game, Link received many blessings from friends. However, Jeff Austin was the most active, and this guy ran directly to Memphis to meet Link. The reason was very simple, he had to arrange Link's itinerary in advance this summer.

"You can always surprise people at 20 points in the playoffs, Link. Now you are one of the most famous stars in the league. The whole world knows that a magical Chinese undraft has risen in Memphis."

"Okay, Mr. Austin, don't praise me for now. Just arrange your schedule for me this summer. I don't have any special requirements except to ensure training time." Link waved his hand. Of course, he knew that the NBA star's vacation was not an endless squander.

In fact, what a player does during a holiday is one of the reasons why he and others are widening the gap. The offseason is the best time to polish his skill level. If the holidays are all used for fun, the final outcome will definitely be eliminated.

"Don't worry, I won't delay your training time too much. In fact, I will recommend a few trainers to you. You have to targeted improvements in certain aspects this summer."

"For example, gain weight?" Link rubbed his hands expectantly. He had enough of the feeling of being defeated in the confrontation.

"Well, this one can be there. You are indeed a little too thin. But don't increase too much, because that will affect your flexibility. Summer training is not just that simple. I can also arrange a few ball games for you, such ball games that are all stars. I can arrange some training camps for you to keep you in shape. In short, during the offseason, training is as important as business activities."

"Very good, I hope to improve myself more during the offseason. By the way, Jeff, this summer's signing." Link knew very well that his contract with the Grizzlies would expire in more than a month, and he would become a free agent at that time.

Link was a little excited and a little nervous when he entered the NBA.

When you see the quotes from those teams to you, you will know how much you are. NBA teams are not charities. Although they spend money like water, most teams will not spend money indiscriminately for no reason.

Although NBA also has a variety of garbage contracts, these garbage contracts are usually signed under special backgrounds.

Therefore, a player tests the free agent market and is also a test of himself. This is the best way for a player to test his own value.

"What? Do you have any ideas for signing this summer? I haven't had any contact with any team yet, because I want to wait until the playoffs are over. Now if I contact other teams, it will affect our relationship with the Grizzlies. I believe that we will receive many offers from teams this summer, and the price will not be too low. Last season, Wesley Matthews, who was also a undrafted player, signed a five-year, $34 million contract with the Trail Blazers, and he earned more than the No. 1 pick. After all, Wall's rookie contract is only 24 million in four years."

"And you, your price will be higher than Wesley Matthews, I can guarantee that. At that time, the ones you compare with will no longer be rookies, but first-tier stars." Austin said, smiling with relief. He did not misunderstand it at the beginning.

"Well, it sounds quite tempting. But I don't want to say that. I want to tell you that the Memphis Grizzlies are our top signing target this summer. Any other team must be ranked behind the Grizzlies, okay?"

Jeff Austin looked at Link and was stunned. He thought Link wanted to negotiate with him about price code, but unexpectedly, he made such a request.

"This is more like my home. I want to continue playing in Memphis. I want to create more brilliant glory with others. The first victory in the playoffs history is just the beginning. I believe the Grizzlies will climb higher and higher in the future. And I really want to create all this with everyone. People often say that the NBA is just business. But in my opinion, the league is not just business. So, this summer, please use the Grizzlies as the primary signing target. Besides, I believe that the Grizzlies will not be too low, right?"

Link doesn't want to leave the Grizzlies, this is his only demand. If choosing Memphis at the beginning was just helpless and just to survive, then now, Link really wants to do something here.

Everyone has experienced so much together this season, and this experience has long since made Link no longer regard Memphis as a place to make money.

Just like Randolph, they all fell in love with this city that people despise and this team that is always overlooked.

"I get it, Link. Don't worry, I will do it as you want." Jeff Austin smiled. Link is always able to create surprises, and off-field is no exception.
