Now, the whole world is discussing Link's 50-point triple-double, discussing who exactly Link and James can rule the second decade of the 21st century.

So much so that when the Grizzlies' next opponent, the Toronto Raptors, arrived in Memphis, it was so deserted that only a few reporters interviewed and filmed them.

Rudy Guy looked around, looked at the scenes he was extremely familiar with, and shook his head with a wry smile.

When I returned here again, I didn't expect that I was actually a member of the Toronto Raptors.

Since he left Memphis last summer, it seems that there has been a drastic change here.

This city without hope has now become a championship city. This city without superstars now has the most popular basketball star in the world.

With Guy's departure, Memphis suddenly rose. It was as if the Grizzlies were unable to achieve results before, all because of Guy.

Looking back on his last two years with the Grizzlies, Guy himself felt embarrassed.

Once he is injured, the Grizzlies' winning rate will suddenly increase. Once he is injured, the Grizzlies will make history and reach the Western Conference Finals. Then, even more ruthless, as soon as he leaves, the Grizzlies will become the championship.

Guy smiled self-deprecatingly. To be honest, he didn't know what happened between him and the Grizzlies. But it was just that, without him, the Grizzlies Feiteng Huangda.

For this reason, Guy has been criticized for a lot of infamous, cancer, disaster, black hole... These words have lingered in Guy's ears all the time in the past two years.

Unexpectedly, when I come back, my ears are so quiet that I don’t even have a reporter coming up to interview me.

Yes, all Memphis is immersed in the joy of Link scoring a 50-point triple-double. Who cares about the inconspicuous Toronto Raptors and Rudy Guy?

After Guy was traded by the Grizzlies last year, he only played in the Magic for half a season before being transferred to the Raptors again. He went to two teams in a year, which is not a memorable experience for Guy.

But fortunately, in the Raptors, Guy found himself finding his belonging.

"Hey, Rudy. Why are you stunned? Let's go." At this time, DeRozan waved to Guy.

Guy nodded slightly and then quickly followed.

Back in Memphis again, he was not nostalgic. Because now, he has a group of teammates who are more suitable for him, and they have the same goal.

In Memphis, Guy just wants to do his best to win and justify himself!

50 points triple-double? That's not his business.

DeRozan and Guy are old friends. They know each other's families and often practice in Los Angeles, Las Vegas and other places during the offseason.

That year, this summer, because DeRozan went to Link's training camp this summer.

Guy scored the first goal with the Raptors was the assist given by DeRozan. It was a quick counterattack. DeRozan threw the basketball high just after halftime.

Then, Rudy Guy, who had already reached the basket, showed his incredible athleticism and dunked the ball, thus opening the curtain of his Raptors' career.

Guy is naturally much happier than being able to play in a team with good brothers. What's more, this year, Kyle Lowry also joined the ranks of the two.

Lowry was also a member of the Memphis Grizzlies early on, spending the first two and a half seasons of his career with the Grizzlies. Therefore, Lowry and Guy were teammates.

Lowry basically didn't speak much when he first arrived at the Raptors last season, but since Guy also came to the Raptors, he has built a bridge of communication between Lowry and DeRozan. Afterwards, the three of them had a very close relationship, and Lowry and DeRozan got closer and closer.

Guy's first feeling is freedom when he can partner with DeRozan and Lowry. He once told reporters bluntly in an interview, "The Grizzlies are a team that focuses on low-post tactics, which is the style the coach hopes for, because we have two great big men. Now that I come to the Raptors, the space on the court is more scattered and fluid, and I can do more things."

Although the Raptors were only ranked tenth in the Eastern Conference last season, after a pleasant half season, Guy also wanted to do something with his two little brothers.

So this year, Guy often nagged DeRozan and Lowry, "I want to take you to experience the playoffs."

Lowry and DeRozan listened to it. They played very hard this season, and the Raptors' current record of 5 wins and 2 losses is also very outstanding. After coming to Memphis, Guy started nagging again.

"Working seven games with the same team, you have to accept the nitpicking of the audience in front of the TV in every game. This pressure is something you have never experienced. If you have played in the playoffs, you will never really grow up. So today, even when facing a strong enemy, we have to strive for a victory. Because every victory will make us closer to the playoffs. Hey, you won't have been scared to pee your pants, right?"

Guy looked at the two little brothers in front of him and frowned slightly.

"Of course not. I know Link. He is actually quite good, so I won't be afraid of him." DeRozan patted his chest. After coming out of Link's training camp, DeRozan has made great progress. He averaged 22.7 points per game this season, and he has become the first-scorer in the league.

Therefore, DeRozan is now full of confidence in every game.

"I'm not afraid, even though they win 7 and lose 0, they always lose. Why not today?" Lowry smiled. As long as he has good brothers around him, he will not be afraid of any challenges.

From a water dispenser administrator who only had 9 starts in a single season to a star point guard who can give 15+7 per game, Lowry gritted his teeth and fought until now because he refused to accept his fate.

In college, he tore his cruciate ligament and his kidney examination result was not good. The Grizzlies were reimbursed for a season due to a wrist fracture and lay in the hospital bed for a year. Compared with these terrible experiences, the Grizzlies are now 7-0 wins and 0 losses are not a problem at all.

Looking at the confident appearance of the two little brothers in front of him, Guy no longer frowned.

"Very good, I'm not afraid. Come on, let's make some noise in Memphis."

Going to experience the playoffs is Guy’s promise to Lowry and DeRozan. Even if you go through hardships, you must do it!

Link is still a little dizzy. What happened in the past two days is something he had never met before.

With unprecedented high attention, one business cooperation after another, the TV station took turns to play his 50-point triple-double highlights...

This is the first time Link knows what it feels like to be a superstar.

Even if you win a championship, you may not have such a great influence, because you have the chance to win a championship every year. But 50 points and triple-double is a record that has been covered by 38 years! Moreover, it is the first time that fans around the world have witnessed a player doing this in front of a TV.

Link now really hopes that the popularity of the 50-point triple-double can dissipate early, so that he doesn't have to train and wait for the reporters to disperse before driving home quietly.

"Hey, don't you say hello?" Randolph walked to Link and raised his chin in the direction of Rudy Guy in the other half.

"Well... forget it, he ignores us." Link spread his hands. Although he had been a teammate with Guy for two years, his personal relationship with Guy was very average. It's not that there are any conflicts, it's just very average anyway.

The two of them hardly talked and had no private contact. It was like a colleague in a company who knew each other but had basically no intersection except for work. It was perfect to describe this relationship as a "familiar stranger".

If you insist on going up to say hello, it will be very embarrassing for both parties.

Link was staring at Guy's back, and another Raptors star, Demar DeRozan, walked towards Link and said shyly.

DeRozan is a member of Link’s training camp this summer, and the two get along well. Compared to Guy, Link and DeRozan have a better personal relationship.

"Hello, Link, congratulations, for creating such a terrible historical stat." DeRozan and Link hugged him gently. He was not an extrovert.

Link also knows why DeRozan is so shy, because he is actually a depression patient. But now, DeRozan has not disclosed his condition to the public. But as someone who has mastered some future consultations, Link knows it.

"Thank you, Demar. You have made great progress this season. It seems that your summer efforts have been rewarded." Link patted DeRozan on the shoulder, trying to get along with DeRozan in the most amiable way.

"Hehe, thank you for providing us with a high-level training environment and an excellent training atmosphere. Today, it's very lively here and everyone is looking forward to your performance. Come on, don't let them down."

After chatting, DeRozan and Link hugged each other again, and then returned to their own half.

Link smiled. He had 82 regular season games in a season, but it was difficult to meet a gentle opponent like DeRozan.

It seems that we don’t have to fight as hard as we did in the previous few games tonight. Originally, the Raptors were not a very strong opponent. They won the victory comfortably and made such a happy decision.

Soon, this inconspicuous game officially started. In the first round, Link found out that he was wrong.
Chapter completed!
