Link sat on a small boat arranged by the local police in Memphis. Wherever he went, the house was soaked in water, and the car floated like a toy.

Link felt a little incredible, and he seemed to have entered the filming scene of the movie.

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

"At present, we have not received any casualties reports, and we have responded very quickly, and most citizens have been evacuated at the first time. So, you don't have to worry."

At this moment, the boat passed by a gathering place for victims. Some victims stood in the water that was not far behind and were waiting for rescue. However, after seeing Link on the boat, the victims took the initiative to make way.

"Hey, send him to the stadium first, so that the kid can prepare for the battle!"

"We'll wait for the next boat. Anyway, we'll be able to come to the lifeboat in ten minutes. Let him go first. Link, perform well today, we must advance to the Western Conference semi-finals!"

"Come on Link, the flood cannot stop us, and the Oklahoma City Thunder will not do it!"

The citizens in the water cheered at Link, as if they didn't care about the situation at all. When the flood came, they were still enthusiastic about basketball, and Link was really moved by a little.

"They won't have any trouble, are they? Otherwise, let's stop and let them be together, I'll have enough time."

"Hehe, don't worry, there was a lifeboat following us when we set off. Look, they've already got on the boat behind. Don't worry, you and all the citizens of Memphis will be fine. Don't be distracted, we'll be out of the water-stacked area soon." The police officer smiled at Link, "Are we involved in the game against the Thunder?"

"Of course, we wouldn't have been here without your support. To be honest, their enthusiasm surprised me very much. If my home was flooded, I would definitely not care about basketball."

"Hahahaha, but after all, this is the most glorious year in Memphis basketball history. If you ask the citizens of Memphis, what they are discussing most now is floods or basketball, you will definitely get their answer without hesitation! The floods will fade and the floods will eventually leave here. But the Grizzlies will continue to play!"

Listening to the police officer's words, Link got goosebumps all over his body. How many people did they carry? The fans who supported the team and were concerned about the team when the flood came. The fans who cheered for them at the Federal Express Arena every night.

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

A small town that is unpopular has caused people to have a bad impression of it because of its excessive crime rate. Now, they have the opportunity to be proud of basketball across the United States. How can they not support it?

Link looked up slightly and saw a huge poster of himself on the tall building not far away.

The poster is what Link looked like when he dribbles through, and there are a few big words written beside him, "Let's create history together!"

Link smiled, and he instantly felt that the small town of Memphis was so cute.

At first, Link just liked the Grizzlies, but now, he found that he also fell in love with this "strong" city where citizens voluntarily hand over their guns and get free tickets.

Sometimes, these small cities may have a sense of warmth that is not available in international metropolis like New York or Los Angeles.

"Link, we're out of the water-stabilizing area! My colleagues will pick you up in front, but you have to walk a long way to wade. Don't worry, the water here only floods the calf, you won't have any trouble!"

"Thank you, I haven't asked you what your name is, police officer." Link stood up, and at this time, outside the water-storing area, many Memphis citizens were cheering for Link.

"What I'm not important about my name, what's important 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!" As he said that, the police officer stood up and shook hands with Link.

"I will work hard for Memphis!"

"Yes, for Memphis!"

After saying that, Link jumped into the water, waded in the accumulated water that had not crossed his calf for a while, and finally "got ashore". 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, whose enthusiasm was not extinguished by the flood.

Link walked to the car door and looked around. Then, he raised his right hand and raised his thumbs to everyone, "No matter whether it is flood or thunder, we can stop us! Because this place in Memphis never bends!"

"Link! Link! Link! Link! Link!" The whole street echoed with such shouts. This was not the battle between the Grizzlies and Link, but the battle of fate of the entire city.

When Randolph saw Link in the training hall, he almost laughed out loud.

Link rolled up his trousers, barefoot, and most of his pants were wet. His clean clothes were all mud-slapped, and he looked like an old farmer who had just come out of the field.

"Where have you gone? Have you gone to poach crocodiles??" Randolph held back his laughter, but walked up to tease.

"I'm hitting a flood, Zach!"

"Flood? It shouldn't be, your terrain is quite high."

"My home is high, and the road from my home to the stadium is not high!" Link did not talk nonsense with Randolph, but walked straight into the locker room to change his jerseys.

"Then did you come here to swim?" Randolph felt that things were getting more and more bizarre.

"No, I came by boat, man. The local police helped me through the water-stacked area. Thankfully, I wasn't late. Zach, are you ready today? You can't get a shameful hit rate of 25%."

"Me? Don't worry about me, I will never let any opportunity slip away from me."

"Bad, if you could seize the chance of winning the game in the previous game, we wouldn't have to play extra time." Link responded with a smile, then walked into the locker room.

"Damn, it's so bad!"

Seeing Randolph and Link quarrel, Hollins felt much more relieved. At least now, the players' mentality was not greatly affected by the 27-point defeat in the last game.

In today's game, the Thunder will definitely resist to the death. This is a double competition between perseverance and psychology. If the players bear too much pressure before the game, it is actually equivalent to losing half of it.

The importance of this game is self-evident for Grizzlies players, and even O.J. Mayo even went to the training hall to warm up in advance today.

Since the start of the series, Hollins and Brooks have not changed their teams. But today, in order to win, Hollins believes that he must make something unique.

As long as you can catch the Thunder off guard, that's enough.

There is no need to go back to Oklahoma City in the game!

"Memphis flooded, but this did not extinguish the enthusiasm of Grizzlies fans! Instead, they will become passionate! Welcome to Memphis, I am Huby Brown, where the first round of the playoffs will be played against the Grizzlies!"

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

Each team has representatives of generations of golden characters. The Lakers are the "showtime" led by Magic, and have an invincible "ok combination".

The Celtics have a group of powerful players from the Bird period and a team from the Big Three period to win the championship.

And for the Grizzlies, their first generation of golden figures are all here!

"Observation, we have to take the lead in the attack at the beginning of 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. While they are not ready, we will open the score first! Then, the game will enter our rhythm!" Hollins arranged nervously on the sidelines, Link nodded repeatedly, and he listened very seriously to every word the head coach said.

Amid the referee's urging, the Grizzlies' Five Tigers stepped into the court. Link pointed to the stands. This simple action alone caused a commotion in the stands.

Link was ready to fight, and the victory was right in front of him. The Thunder could not drag the game back to Oxford! He had made up his mind to fight for this city.

Just as both sides were preparing to compete for the ball, all the fans and commentators were shocked because they found that the Grizzlies had actually changed their lineup!

"O.j. Mayo, Mayo, who has been on the bench for several months, has returned in this critical battle! Oh my God, Coach Hollins is so bold! How did he think about it? " Hubby Brown stood up excitedly. After all, this may be a change of team that determines the trend of the playoffs!

Mayo glanced at Link, but Link just nodded slightly at him.
Chapter completed!
