Reverse Growth Superstar - 1280
When Jimmy Butler returned to the Federal Express Arena again, looking at the six championship flags on the arena, his heart was mixed.
He still remembered that when he first came to the Grizzlies, the dome of the Federal Express Arena was still empty.
There are neither retired jerseys nor any pennants of honor.
Don’t talk about the championship flag, you can’t even see the championship flag.
But now?
The honors in the Federal Express Arena are the most in the league except for the home courts of the Lakers and Celtics.
And three of these six championship pennants are attributed to Butler.
When Butler entered the field, he received cheers and applause from the Grizzlies fans.
This scene is not common, you know, Memphis fans will not easily cheer other team players.
But Jimmy Butler is one exception.
Although he has been away from the Grizzlies for many years, Butler will enjoy this treatment every time he returns to the Federal Express Arena.
After all, he is the hero of the first three consecutive championships. Who doesn’t love it?
Looking at the fans cheering for him, Butler was very moved.
What is the most precious harvest of a professional player? Ten million annual salary? champion?
Those are precious, but they are not the most precious to Butler.
The most precious thing is the love of others.
Kobe and Jordan have retired for so many years, and they are still missed by fans. This is the true ultimate achievement.
Butler is very fortunate that at least he is in Memphis and should not be forgotten by the fans.
Beside Butler, Kendrick Nunn looked around curiously, at the exaggerated six championship pennants.
“This is the Federal Express Arena…” Nunn muttered while watching, as if he had come to a holy land.
Butler smiled. For his own generation, the basketball mecca may be Staples Center, Madison Square Garden, Boston’s North Shore Gardens, or even Chicago’s United Center.
But in the hearts of Nunn’s new generation of players, the Federal Express Arena is a holy place for basketball!
Here was born the greatest player since Jordan, and the greatest team since the Bulls in the 1990s.
What’s more, what Link makes people love more is that he proved that your birth doesn’t determine everything about you.
Even if you are just a loser, you may become a historical superstar.
Back then, Allen Iverson let people know that small people can also rule the basketball court.
Therefore, countless young people use him as an idol and work hard.
However, as a loser, Link, who has not even played in the first level of the NCAA league, is more grounded than AI.
He is more in line with people’s expectation that “ordinary people will become famous in the NBA”.
Although Link is actually not ordinary at all.
“Don’t look, the Grizzlies at Federal Express Arena are no stronger than the Grizzlies at American Airlines Center. Last time we beat them at home, this time we can win at their home court.”
Butler patted Nunn on the shoulder, Nunn also put away his surprised eyes, and turned back to that bad boy.
Soon, the Grizzlies players also played to warm up.
Butler turned his head and found familiar faces.
Although Conley changed from a short position to a dirty braid, it still remained the same. Gasol is still like that, but with more wrinkles.
Iguodala’s hair is getting shorter every year, and this year is already a haircut close to a bald head.
And Link?
He really didn’t change at all.
It’s still the same as a few years ago, full of energy and trustworthy.
“Don’t say hello to old friends?” Nunn stabbed Butler with his elbow, and Butler also found Link was staring at him.
But Butler shook his head slightly at Link, then turned around: “Old friends? Make no mistake, we are deadly enemies before the game is over! Get ready for Nunn, we are not here to relive the old days!”
“Hole, boss!” Nunn geared his hands, as if he could not help but want to abuse Conley.
Link in the distance watched Butler turn around and leave, and urged his teammates to warm up, curling his lips: “Cut, what’s cool.”
But this is also in line with Butler’s character, just like himself, **** and stubborn!
Before the game started, Link specially gathered everyone together and reminded his teammates: “I hope you haven’t forgotten that one of the three games we lost this season was given to us by the Miami Heat. Exchanges of courtesy , This is the most basic courtesy. So, let the guests experience our enthusiasm today!”
After Link finished speaking, he walked into the middle circle with the starting five tigers.
At the same time, Hubie Brown also started his interpretation work.
“The ten-game winning streak is right in front of us, and in a blink of an eye, Link’s small goal set by him is almost achieved!”
Now, many reporters must be grateful that they didn’t question Link about the ten-game winning streak. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing again now.
“Although the Grizzlies are only one step away from the goal of ten consecutive victories, this step is not easy. The Miami Heat is a stronger team than people think. Their 19-7 record and the Bucks and Grizzlies It’s incomparable, but this result is already at the level of the league’s first echelon.”
“By the way, the Heat have overturned many strong teams so far this season. Among them, they include the Memphis Grizzlies! They seem to be a replica of the Grizzlies. Great. But any team encounters the Heat, they have to peel off. I believe that the Heat will definitely not mind getting a foot in Link’s ten-game winning streak. After all, this is like a villain. style.”
Hubby Brin also likes the Heat very much, because he saw the shadow of the Grizzlies on the Heat.
The two teams stepped into the middle circle starting from the start. Although the Heat are full of “mobs”, facing the defending champions, they didn’t show any timidity.
Kendrick Nunn stared at Conley stubbornly, with an expression of “I’ll eat you today”.
I don’t know, I thought Conley was the draft pick and Nunn was the All-Star guard.
Butler also looked at Link. There was no dialogue between the two before the game, so now there is a bit less warmth and more gunpowder smell.
In the stands, Grizzlies fans have already raised their cards to celebrate their ten-game winning streak.
But Jimmy Butler dismissed it.
He is here to destroy ten consecutive victories.
This kind of rebellious psychology is precisely what Link taught Butler.
The referee tossed the ball and the game officially began!
Relying on his height advantage, Meyers Leonard won the first strike for the Heat.
The white center forward has grown a beard this season, making him look a lot wilder.
The basketball fell into the hands of Kendrick Nunn, the No. 25 guard at all without the youthfulness of a first-year player.
After he got the basketball, he immediately started to attack!
One obvious feature of the Heat’s ball this season is that they don’t have a clear distinction between roles. Even Jimmy Butler has no privileges compared to other players.
Butler averaged only 13.4 shots per game this season. Although it is still the highest on the team, the Heat averaged more than 11 shots per game.
Therefore, Butler will not hold the ball as soon as Antetokounmpo and others do.
This has something to do with the Heat’s style of play this season. Spoelstra hopes to make the Heat a team that relies on a team to win games, rather than a team that relies on a single star.
After all, the Heat have so many capable people this season, so don’t waste it.
It turns out that they did a good job. Butler averaged 6 assists per game this season, much higher than any previous season. It seems that he also likes his position in the Heat.
Only in this situation can Kendrick Nunn have room to play.
Nunn held the ball in front of Conley and flashed a little space with a beautiful shake.
Conley tried to catch up, but Nunn suddenly stopped outside the three-point line!
At this moment, Nunn shook off Conley’s distance.
Without hesitation, Nunn made a three-pointer.
Nunn’s three-point shooting percentage can reach 36.2% this season, which is pretty good.
Nunn has a quick shot and is also very good at making sudden long shots while dribbling.
When he was signed by the Warriors last season, he was called “Little Curry”.
Conley was a little weak, he didn’t expect Nunn to be so confident.
In the end, the basketball made it to the net and Nunn took the lead for the Heat.
He brought the excellent form in training yesterday to the playing field.
Nunn was ranked second in the scoring list during the NCAA period, second only to Trey Young, and is a well-deserved star player. Therefore, his scoring ability is actually very strong.
The reason Nunn will lose the election is because his 1.88 meters tall is not enough. Secondly, it is because he is a little older, like Link, is a senior rookie.
The most important point is that Nunn has caused trouble off the court.
Nunn originally played at the University of Illinois during college. After playing for a year, he was expelled from the University of Illinois because he attacked others in the game ~www.mtlnovel.com~. Then he had to transfer to Oakland because he didn’t play ball for a semester.
When he participated in the 18th draft as a senior, other teams stayed away from such players with a record. As a result, this NCAA top scorer lost the selection.
It is not a metaphor to say that Nunn is a bad boy, this guy is really bad.
But the facts have also proved that if there is no such incident, Nunn will not only be a loser.
After scoring the goal, Nunn made a bow and arrow action, aiming at the Grizzlies championship pennant.
“Good job, just fight like this!” Butler also yelled at Nunn, and the two were extremely excited.
Nunn returned to his own half and hooked Conley wildly.
Bad is really bad.
However, it is very appetite for Link.
