One Hundred and Eighty-Six: A Lovely City

Link was sitting on a boat arranged by the local police in Memphis. Wherever he went, the houses were all submerged in water, and the car floated like a toy.

Link felt a little unbelievable, as if he had strayed into the filming scene of the movie.

"Are there casualties?" Link, who was sitting on the boat, asked casually.

"At present, we have not received any reports of casualties. Our response was very fast, and most of the citizens were evacuated as soon as possible. So, you don't have to worry."

Just then, the boat passed a gathering place for the victims. Some victims stood in the waist-high water waiting for rescue, but after seeing Link on the boat, the victims took the initiative to step aside.

"Hey, let's take him to the arena first, and let that kid get ready for the game!"

"Let's wait for the next boat, anyway, there will be a lifeboat in ten minutes, let him go first. Link, perform well today, we must advance to the Western Conference semifinals!"

"Come on Link, the flood can't stop us, and neither can the Oklahoma City Thunder!"

The citizens in the water cheered at Link, as if they didn't care about the situation at all. Even when the flood came, Link could still maintain his enthusiasm for basketball. Link was really moved by a little.

"They'll be all right? Or let's stop and let them be together, I have enough time."

"Hey, don't worry, there's a lifeboat behind us when we set off. Well, they're already on the boat behind. Don't worry, you and all the citizens of Memphis will be fine. Don't be distracted, we'll be there soon. We're about to get out of the stagnant water area." The police officer smiled at Link, "If we are like this, do we also participate in the game with the Thunder?"

"Of course, we wouldn't have gotten this far without your support. To be honest, I'm amazed by their enthusiasm. If my house was flooded, I wouldn't care about basketball."

"Hahaha, but after all, this is the most glorious year in Memphis basketball history. If you ask the people of Memphis whether they are discussing the flood or basketball the most right now, you will definitely get their answer without hesitation - basketball! Flood! It will go away, the flood will eventually leave here. But the Grizzlies, will keep playing!"

When Link listened to the police officer's words, he had goosebumps all over his body. How many people's hopes did they carry? The fans who supported the team and cared about the team when the flood came. The fans who cheered for them every night at FedEx Arena...

Link suddenly felt that he had a great responsibility. He and his teammates were not only responsible for the team, but also the hope of the city!

A small town that no one cares about, because of the high crime rate, people have a bad impression of it. Now, they have the opportunity to rely on basketball to raise their eyebrows in the United States, can you support it?

Link raised his head slightly and saw a huge poster of himself on a tall building not far away.

The poster is what Link looked like when he dribbled and made a breakthrough, and next to him, there were several large characters written, "Let's make history together!"

Link smiled. He instantly felt that the small town of Memphis was so cute.

At first, Link only liked the Grizzlies, but now, he found himself in love with this "sturdy" city where citizens can get free tickets by handing in their guns.

Sometimes, these small cities may have a sense of warmth that a cosmopolitan city like New York or Los Angeles does not have.

"Link, we're out of the waterlogged area! My colleague will pick you up in front, but you have to walk for a while. Don't worry, the water here only covers your calf, you'll be fine!"

"Thank you, I haven't asked your name yet, officer." Link stood up, and at this time, outside the stagnant water area, there were already many Memphis citizens cheering for Link.

"It doesn't matter what my name is, what matters is that I must win for us, Link! Defeat the Thunder and let those who look down on us see that we can also win the series!"

The officer stood up and shook Link's hand.

"I'll do my best for Memphis!"

"Yes, for Memphis!"

After speaking, Link jumped into the water, and after wading for a while in the stagnant water that did not reach his calf, he finally "came ashore". Just as the police officer just said, a police car specially prepared for Link can set off at any time!

Link was surrounded by cheering Memphis fans, and their enthusiasm was not dampened by the flood.

Link walked to the door and looked around. Then, he raised his right hand and gave everyone a thumbs up, "Neither flood nor thunder can stop us! Because of Memphis, never bend over!"

"Link! Link! Link! Link! Link!..." Such shouts echoed throughout the street. This is not the battle between Grizzly and Link, but the fate of the entire city. war.

When Randolph saw Link in the practice gym, he almost didn't laugh.

Link rolled up his trousers, bare feet, and most of his trousers were wet. His clean clothes were also covered in plaster, and he looked like an old farmer who had just come out of the field.

"Where have you been? Have you been poaching crocodiles!?" Randolph couldn't help but laugh, but he went up and laughed.

"I'm in a flood, Zach!"

"Flood? Shouldn't it, your place is quite high."

"My home is high, and the road from my home to the arena is not high!" Link didn't talk nonsense with Randolph, but went straight into the locker room to change his jersey.

"So you came here swimming?" Randolph felt that things were getting more and more bizarre.

"No, I came by boat, man. The local police helped me through the flooded area, thank goodness I wasn't late. Zach, are you ready for today? You can't put up a shameful 25% hit rate anymore. ."

"Me? Don't worry about me, I'll never let any chance slip past me."

"Shit, if you can seize the lore chance in the previous game, we don't have to play overtime." Link responded with a smile, and then walked into the locker room.

"Damn, it's too cheap!"

Seeing Randolph and Link bickering, Hollins felt relieved. At least for now, the mentality of the players has not been affected too much by the 27-point fiasco in the last game.

In today's game, the Thunder will definitely resist. This is a dual competition of perseverance and psychology. If the players are under too much pressure before the game, it is actually equal to losing half.

The importance of this game is self-evident to the Grizzlies players, and even O.J. Mayo warmed up at the practice gym ahead of schedule today.

From the start of the series until now, neither Hollins nor Brooks has ever changed. But today, in order to win, Hollins thinks he has to come up with something different.

As long as the Thunder can be caught off guard, that's enough.

The game, there is no need to go back to Oklahoma City!

"Memphis is flooding, but that doesn't kill the Grizzlies fans! Instead, they're flooding FedEx Arena! Welcome to Memphis, my name is Hubie Brown, and the season is going on here. The first round of the playoffs is the sixth game between the Thunder and the Grizzlies!"

As soon as Hubie Brown entered the field, he was shocked by the cheers of the Memphis fans. As the former coach of the Grizzlies, Hubie Brown can guarantee that this team has never been so popular!

Every team has representatives of so many generations of golden characters. The Lakers are "" led by Magic, an invincible "OK combination".

The Celtics have a number of strongmen from the Bird era and a championship lineup from the Big Three era.

And for the Grizzlies, their first-generation golden characters are all here!

"Offensive, we have to take the lead in the opening game today to establish an advantage! I don't want to play overtime anymore, and I don't want the game to be dragged to the end. Before they are ready, let's pull the score! Then, the game will be We can get into our rhythm!" Hollins arranged nervously on the sidelines, Link nodded again and again, and he listened carefully to every word the coach said.

At the urging of the referee, the Grizzlies' starting five tigers stepped into the court. Link pointed to the stands, and this simple action caused a commotion in the stands.

Link is gearing up, victory is in sight, and the Thunder can't let the Thunder drag the game back to Oklahoma City! He has made up his mind to fight for the city.

Just as the two sides were about to scramble for the ball, the fans and commentators were stunned when they found out that the Grizzlies had changed!

"O.J. Mayo, who has been on the bench for months, is actually back in the starting lineup in this crucial battle! My God, Coach Hollins is so bold! What the hell is he thinking! ?" Hubie Brown stood up excitedly, after all, this may be a change that will determine the trend of the playoffs!

Mayo glanced at Link, and Link just nodded slightly at him.

Link believes that if all goes well, this move should be quite unexpected.
