The annual awards ceremony where the protagonist was not found was indeed criticized by fans.

But the fans did not blame Link, but all blamed the joke.

Everyone could see that Joke and Link were not in the way. Moreover, Joke wanted to deliberately extend the series in the finals, which was really disgusting.

Even fans can't stand this kind of thing, and Link, who was persecuted, naturally couldn't accept it.

Therefore, it is reasonable for him not to give face to jokes.

What's more, Link's youngest daughter has just been born and does need company.

It’s really unreasonable to blame Link for not participating with these two reasons.

On the other hand, he was so fucked by such an award ceremony that he had no use except for his gorgeous appearance.

The championship and FMVP were both out, and the best rookie and the best sixth man were instantly gone.

Moreover, Link is not the only superstars who were not present.

James, Durant, Curry and others were also not present.

This shows that real superstars disdain the popularity of this award ceremony. This ceremony is not like the Oscars and football award ceremony, where all the big names compete to participate.

The NBA ceremony was in an embarrassing situation where a big brand was disdainful and the people who went there were not the biggest brand.

And after this first time, things that big names are absent will definitely continue to happen in the future.

The annual awards ceremony of jokes was very different from what he expected.

But no matter what, the 16-17 season ended safely. Although it was not perfect in the joke, this season was not completely achieved.

Link and the Grizzlies became the biggest winners of the season, and the NBA also gained the most terrifying popular monster after Jordan.

Championship, FMVP, Double First Team, Best Defensive Player, MVP plus various awards and league records of all sizes

Link's strength is beyond doubt, and everyone's eyes are on him.

Even during the offseason, people still hope to see news about Link.

However, Link still did not show up after the award ceremony.

This summer, he also deliberately asked Jeff Austin to not arrange too many business activities for himself.

All in all, Link has only one family this summer.

Link first stayed at his home in Memphis for a while, and every day he was his wife and daughter, taking care of the two most important women in his life carefully.

During the season, Link didn't have much time to take care of Rachel. While Rachel was waiting for delivery, Link had to prepare for the game with all his strength due to the playoff needs.

Therefore, Link now wants to make up for it as much as possible.

Make up for all the time during the season that cannot be with Rachel.

After Rachel's health recovered almost, Link took his daughter and wife to officially start his summer vacation.

Despite this, I just took my daughter to the nearby parks and zoos.

This summer, the Link family has not been able to travel long distances, so this year, Link has not gone anywhere and stayed in Memphis.

After August, the annual Link Training Camp finally arrived late.

This year, although Link's training camp started a little late, he still invited a group of stars to participate.

In addition to some old faces, there are also new faces such as Jannis Antetokounmpo, Anthony Davis and Derek Ross.

Antetokounmpo is Link’s little fan and has become a quasi-first-tier star this season. It’s not surprising that he was invited.

After Anthony Davis became teammates with Cousins ​​last season, he was invited by Link because of Cousins' relationship and recommendation.

But Rose's arrival was beyond expectations.

In fact, even Link didn't think about inviting Rose at the beginning.

After all, Link and Rose had almost no personal relationship before. One of them was in the east and the other in the west, and they had very little time to meet. Moreover, the peak time just happened to be staggered.

Although the two are not hostile to each other, they are not friends.

Link unexpectedly received a call from Rose a week before camping, when he had just joined the Cavaliers for a year at a low price of 2.1 million yuan.

The first pick in the draft, the youngest MVP, you can hardly imagine that the player with these two auras has started to get a contract with almost basic salary when he is less than 30 years old.

Ross sincerely called Link to recommend himself. On the phone, he could hear that Ross was very eager for this training opportunity.

Rose has also heard of the saying that players can be reborn after they come out of Link’s training camp.

Therefore, he wanted to give it another try when he was most desperate!

Ross had already collapsed once when he learned that he was traded by the Bulls last summer.

The Knicks did not score as expected last season, which brought Rose's career to the lowest point.

But he still didn't want to give up, he still wanted to rush.

So, he chose to go to Link Training Camp to participate in training, hoping to get back to his form.

Link agreed, but he had no reason not to agree.

Although the Cavaliers are likely to be the Grizzlies' biggest opponent next season, Ross is already a Cavaliers player.

But so what? If Link really helps the rose bloom again, he will feel accomplished.

Of course, the premise is that Link is confident that he will still defeat the Cavaliers while Rose is blooming.

After all, Kelly Irving has left Cleveland as the original history and become a Celtic.

This undoubtedly greatly reduces the strength of the Cavaliers.

So, Link was not afraid of shooting himself in the foot.

As the number one player in the league, if you don’t even have this confidence, you would be too timid.

The training camp started in full swing in Memphis. As for why I still chose to open the camp in Memphis, the reason is also very simple. Link can go home immediately after the training every day.

This year, Link will hardly stay in the training hall at night.

Every day at four o'clock in the afternoon, he would finish training on time and rush home.

Life is indeed different after becoming a father.

In the past, Link was alone and it didn't matter what time the training was. After the training, he could still go out with Randolph and the others to mess around.

But now there is a family and the children are still so young, it is impossible to say that they are free from worries.

Even so, September is coming soon. NBA pre-season training camp is about to begin, and what will follow will be the preseason, and then another long round of regular season and playoffs.

Link felt that this summer was particularly fast. Before he could enjoy this simple family life, he was going to prepare for the new season again.

"I really want to never start the game and stay by your side forever." The day before the pre-season training camp began, Link sat on the sofa and looked at his wife and children in his arms.

"Okay, then you announce your retirement. In this way, you can accompany us every day." Rachel and Link joked.

"In fact, I'm already planning to retire." However, Link answered seriously.

With Rachel's shocked expression on his face, Link expressed his plan to retire after winning three more championships.

If someone else said this, it would basically be nonsense.

If you win three more championships, you will retire? Most people can’t even win a championship in their lifetime!

If you win three more championships, you will retire, which is equivalent to saying that you will retire when I am so old that I can't beat you.

But it wasn't the case when Link said this.

"Really? If everything goes well, you will be 32 years old in three years, and you are not yet old to retire."

"Indeed, I'm not old enough to retire at the age of 32. But if I can really do it, staying in NBA will not have more challenges for me. It's better to change my life and do other things. Of course, I can also accompany you."

Link was very serious and didn't look like he was joking.

Beyond Jordan, create an unprecedented four consecutive championships and win seven championships.

This is Link's only goal now.

As long as this goal is achieved, Link believes that it is time to end the game.

"Three years? Well, it's still a long time."

"It's not long, it passes in the blink of an eye. Really, it's just a blink of an eye."

Link said, his eyes falling through the window to the lake reflecting the moonlight in the backyard.

From the Blues to the fourth championship, from obscurity to the league's number one seems to be just a blink of an eye.
