Five Hundred and Twenty-Five: The Moment of Eighteen Years

On March 25, the eyes of the world were on New York.

It is a pity, however, that people's attention is not the Brooklyn Nets, nor the New York Knicks, but the Memphis Grizzlies who are visiting New York.

Before the start of this game, the Grizzlies' reputation and situation could be said to have fallen into the trough of the season.

People say the Grizzlies can't break the record, they say they're going through a three-game losing streak, they say the Grizzlies are still going to be eliminated by the Thunder this season.

However, in the case of being looked down upon by everyone, God put on the No. 0 jersey of Memphis.

10 3-pointers, 35 points in the half. Link's jaw-dropping performance allowed the Grizzlies to win the New York battle with an extremely cruel attitude.

Of course, also put an end to the possibility of three-game winning streak.

In the end, Link made 13 3-pointers in the game, breaking the league record.

This record has also become a topic of discussion among fans.

Sitting in a boat floating on the lake, Link and Rachel snuggled together.

It is now the end of March, and although the weather has not completely warmed, the breath of winter has really passed.

The warm sunshine on the face is very pleasant. The two of them had been floating on the boat for a long time, but no one wanted to break this undisturbed state.

"Rachel, it's almost noon. Are you sure you're going to do this interview?" Link looked at his watch, it was getting late.

"Damn, don't mention the interview, Link." Rachel rolled over and put her head on Link's chest.

"You are the only reporter who knows my current address. Others will be shocked to know how this interview is conducted." Link joked that Rachel came to Link's house this morning in the name of "doing an exclusive interview" .

However, as usual, they did a lot of things, but there was no exclusive interview.

"So do you like this type of interview? Mr. Link."

"Well, I like it very much."

"You like all the reporters doing this?"

"Do not,

Rachel DeMita only. "

Rachel smiled sweetly, then took Link's palm.

Although Rachel also plays basketball, she can even catch the ball with one hand! However, compared to Link, Rachel's hands were ridiculously small.

"Link, what an amazing pair of hands can he make 13 three-pointers in a game." Rachel took a closer look. To be honest, when she heard the news of Link breaking the record yesterday, Rachel was shocked. of.

"No magic, just hard work. You may not believe it when you say it. The guy who broke the NBA record for three-pointers made in a single game lost to a female college student while playing the shooting machine in the park."

"Hey, then she should be quite strong!" Rachel became proud, that female college student was her!

"Yeah, quite strong. By the way, I heard that you are going to participate in an ESPN basketball program?" There is only one year left before Rachel is completely popular in the United States.

"I didn't expect that the third superstar in the MVP rankings still cares about me."

"Third? I'm fourth, Anthony third."

"No, I think after yesterday's game, you should be ahead of Anthony. So, you've seen the trailer?" The trailer Rachel said was the trailer for ESPN's new show.

The show, like most NBA shows, will host Rachel with a retired player partner, and then chat about the week's games and fun.

The difference is that in each issue, Rachel will go deep into the training camps of each team or in various basketball games, personally go into battle, and interact with the stars.

Although this show only released a trailer, but because of Rachel's existence, it has become a lot of attention.

And there is still a suspense in this show, that is, the role of the retired player has not been announced yet. There are different opinions about the role.

Some people say that this person will be O'Neal, and the show may create a stunt with a combination of Beauty and the Beast. Of course, this speculation is completely unreasonable, because O'Neal's contract has not expired, and it is impossible to jump to ESPN.

Some people also said that it would be Pippen who came to participate in the show. After all, Mr. Pi was really short of money these years, so he would appear on the show when he had it.

Link was also curious, so he asked the client directly, "I saw the trailer, and this show should be very popular. But who is your partner? Have you received any news?"

"Speaking of my partner...the stage hasn't been confirmed yet. But what I do know is that they have had a very deep contact with your idol."

"my idol?"

"Aren't you a Grant Hill fan? Right now, Hill is the closest to this show."

"Grant Hill? He's not a retired star." After saying this, Link immediately reacted. In the original history, this was the last year of Grant Hill's career as a professional player!

"This is gossip. It is said that Hill has planned to retire. After all, he has been in the league for 18 years. Moreover, he is almost 41 years old. If nothing else, he should announce his retirement in the summer. After retiring, I'll be joining the show right away. How about it? To be able to see your idol and me on a show at the same time, this show is tailor-made for you."

Link nodded, Hill was a good person, and Rachel was his partner, and Link was relieved.

Before he knew it, Link was about to experience Hill's retirement again, and he was really reluctant.

When he was a fan before, Link had no chance to get in touch with idols at all. But after playing in the NBA for three years now, Link found that he still hadn't had a good contact with Hill.

I have to say, this is a very regrettable thing.

"Let's go Rachel, after lunch, I should go to the training hall, let's row back." Link raised his head and picked up the paddle.

"Well, the interview thing... let's do it on the phone, haha."

The boat moved as Link and Rachel controlled the oar swing.

Grant Hill, 18-year career. There has been glory, and there has been loneliness.

After Link became a professional player, many things have changed, but there are also many things that cannot be changed. For example, there is no way to change Grant Hill's career trajectory. In the end, Hill can still only be an "unable to ascend to the throne of the NBA prince."

But sometimes, regret can make someone's resume even greater.

Link can't control everyone's fate, he still can only watch Hill regretfully leave the place where he has been fighting for 18 years, and leave the place that almost cost him his life.

However, Link can at least control his own destiny.

Hill was gone, and Link became the only "Hill" in the league.

He will take this power to attack what Hill has never done, but only dreamed of.

"Link?" Rachel called Link when the boat was about to slide to the shore.

"Um?"

"You're thinking about basketball again."

"Uh...how do you know." Link is ashamed, are women's intuitions so accurate?

"You can tell from your expression. Your focused expression will never lie."

With a focused expression, Rachel was impressed. She went to a Clippers game a few days ago for an interview, and before the game, Rachel took a photo of Hill practicing shooting.

Although this is Hill's last season, although it is just a regular season that can't be more ordinary.

But in the photo, Hill's focused expression as he practiced his shot reminded Rachel of Link.

From that moment on, Rachel remembered Link's focused expression from time to time when he was playing. And just now, this expression appeared.

"You can also read micro-expressions. It seems that you can't lie in front of you in the future."

"It's good to know, go and sit, sports boy, I'll make you lunch."

"What about me?" Link jumped off the boat, pulled it to the shore, and tied the rope.

"You? Think about how to break the record. Don't regret your career, Link. 18 years is just a flick of a finger."

Link felt very warm. It was not easy to find a girl who understood both herself and basketball.
