In mid-September, summer has ended, and major stars have also posted their training photos on social media.

At this time, everyone began to prepare for the new regular season in the new season one and a half months later.

However, when other players in the league were training hard, espn broke out a big news.

"Link will bring all the Grizzlies teammates and coaches to start a week-long trip in Hawaii."

This news surprised everyone. Seeing that the new season was about to begin, the Grizzlies would not quickly start training, but instead went up and down to "team building" the whole team?

What's going on!?

The outside world's incomprehension was completely within Link's expectations.

After all, they don't know that most of the Grizzlies' players have been training themselves since August.

Grizzlies players are training while other stars are fishing, attending commercial activities, and having yacht parties with beautiful women.

And now, when others start to post training photos on social media, everyone on the Grizzlies has finished training.

Moreover, everyone on the Grizzlies has a very outstanding professional attitude.

Therefore, Link believes that the next pre-season training camp is enough to restore everyone's form, and there is no need to start pre-season training camp in advance.

Compared to restoring state, Link believes that connecting everyone closely is more important than state.

Not every championship team wins the same way.

You can't say that the Warriors last year were similar to the Bulls that year, and no one thinks that the Mavericks led by Nowitzki have any similarities with the Grizzlies in the previous three years.

The leaders and playing styles of each champion team are different.

But one thing is something that every champion team has.

A close and united heart!

No matter what the final outcome of the Celtic three, at least at the beginning, they were closely connected, they all had common goals and were willing to sacrifice for them.

Regardless of whether Kobe and O'Neal eventually parted ways, at least they are still closely connected on the field.

When Nowitzki won the championship, the others around him didn't want to lose. They gave Dirk the greatest help and they fought together.

When Michael Jordan created a miracle, Scott Pippen also fought half-death. The last championship in Jordan's career was said to be a five-match of four and a half.

The half that the Bulls are short is Pippen who insists on playing with injuries.

People sacrifice each other, achieve each other, and then move towards honor together.

That's the similarity between all champion teams, and this is what Link wants to inject the Grizzlies.

Awesome talent alone is not enough. If a team is not united enough, nothing will be achieved.

So, Link followed the holiday when the three Celtics were first formed and organized everyone to have a trip together.

In 2007, then Celtic head coach Doug Rivers organized a special tour event that summer in order to harmoniously handle the relationship between the three superstars.

He asked all Celtic players not to use their phones and traveled together for a week.

As a result, in the first season after the formation of the Big Three, they won the championship trophy.

In today's era, it is impossible to let players not use mobile phones at all. Therefore, Link did not require everyone to not use mobile phones.

If he forcibly asks you not to use your mobile phone, it will probably backfire and the players will be resistant.

Link just took everyone to Hawaii and rented a villa and spent a week off.

This week, all the Grizzlies players live together, play cards together, play games together, surf together, and have fun in the bar together.

Sometimes, working together may not necessarily enhance a private relationship between men. But playing together is absolutely OK.

A week later, the Grizzlies' pre-season training camp officially began.

At this time, the Memphis Grizzlies, from old Carter to young Jokic, from newly joined Wade to old Fried Fried Randolph, from players to coaches, all of them were all in a row!

At this time, Grizzlies players don’t care about personal data or competition between the same positions. They only have one goal - win together!

In this case, it becomes very easy to carry out work.

Sure enough, the performance of the Grizzlies players in the training camp was gratifying. Veterans such as Wade quickly got back to their form, and even veterans trained very hard.

As for the young people such as Jokic, Jogel was even more happy.

In the preseason not long later, Jogel specially gave Jokic, Dinwiddie, Harrell and Richardson a lot of playing time.

On the court, these four young people performed well compared to last season.

Moreover, the Grizzlies players cooperated quite well on the court. As it turns out, Link's trip to Hawaii has indeed achieved results.

In the end, the Grizzlies won consecutive games in the preseason!

Before the season started, they achieved excellent results of 6 wins and 0 losses in the preseason!

Memphis fans were all excited, after all, the last time the Grizzlies won the championship when they won the pre-season.

Everything that is happening now is extremely similar to that in the past!

However, the Grizzlies' achievements only made local Memphis fans happy.

In most people's opinion, even if the Grizzlies win all six preseason games, they will still not be able to compete for the championship next season.

Time soon came on October 23, and there were only two days before the start of the new season.

Like in previous years, espn and t.n.t both broadcast special programs for the new season on their own TV stations respectively.

But when talking about the Memphis Grizzlies, most experts just kept shaking their heads.

"No matter how good you play in the preseason, it's useless because no one is playing seriously. Therefore, the preseason record is not very referenceable. Every year in the preseason, there are always several players who can play amazing performances. But once they enter the regular season, they are revealed. Therefore, don't have too high expectations for the four young men of the Grizzlies."

"The Grizzlies' configuration is not the configuration of a championship team. Apart from Link, they do not have any players at the peak. The old ones are too old and the young ones are too young. Conley and Gasol, who are not old and not young, have just experienced major injuries. Can such a team win the championship? Memphis fans seem to be a little too optimistic. They can't expect Wade, who is already 34, to repeat the miracle of 2006."

"I admit that Link is still the top three players in the league. No, it can even be said that he is the best player in the league! But you have to know that Jordan may be difficult to win the championship without Pippen. Kobe cannot establish his own two consecutive championship era without Gasol. And in Memphis, who can be Pippen and Gasol beside Link?"

Everyone still doesn't think the Grizzlies can return to their peak. The favorites to win the championship are still the Warriors, the Cavaliers, and even the Spurs without Tim Duncan.

Everyone is discussing how likely the Warriors will win in a row, and everyone is discussing whether James can bring a championship trophy to Cleveland.

When it comes to Grizzlies, everyone says, "They are very strong, they are still a strong team in the West. But there is still a little gap between the champions. It takes more than a year for the Grizzlies to return to the top."

No one thinks the Grizzlies can make a big contribution in the new season, and people even think that they may not be able to win the New York Knicks, the first opponent of the new season.

On October 25, the 16-17 season will officially start. This year, the league has arranged a special showdown between the Knicks and the Grizzlies.

There is no need to say much about the Grizzlies' popularity. Although they failed in the Western Conference Finals last season, they are still one of the most popular teams.

The Knicks, who failed to enter the playoffs last season, became an instant contender for the championship due to their strong signings this summer.

Ross's deal, Noah and Contney Lee's joining, and "Jackson" Jennings's surrender made the Big Apple City lineup look colored and made Anthony's face smile. Of course, it also made this New York team regain the attention of fans.

Therefore, it is understandable that the league puts the Grizzlies and the Knicks in the opening match.

Although it is still unknown whether the Knicks can play this season, in the words of New York media, "I would rather expect the scarred roses to bloom again than believe that Wade can usher in the second spring of his career. I would rather expect Porzingis' performance than believe that Jokic can bring the Olympic status to the NBA. The Grizzlies want to win the championship? Let's see if they can defeat the Knicks first!"

As we all know, the New York media is the most difficult group of people in all media in the league. They even make things difficult for their own players, let alone players from other places.

However, Link's response at the press conference the next day left the ever-dominant New York media with nothing to say.

"What? Did I hear it right? Dwayne and I have five rings together, and the Knicks are 0! That's it, they actually think they can beat us? Oh my God, it seems they lack basic respect for the championship members. But it doesn't matter, I will soon learn how to respect others."

Wade, who attended the press conference with Link, smiled. This is Link's usual style.
Chapter completed!
