Six Hundred and Six: Must Accept This Era

"The Grizzlies won the championship with an 18-point reversal in the final quarter."

"Nick Young 9 points in a minute, Link scored 14 points in a row, thumping the Heat".

"Wade pours two bottles of Gatorade on his knees in the locker room."

"Link becomes the first undrafted FMVP in NBA history".

The end of the finals also means that the war that started at the end of October last year has finally subsided this summer.

Although the game is over, the impact of Link and the Grizzlies on the league is just beginning to show.

The day after the game, news of the Grizzlies dominated the front pages or headlines of major news outlets. This time around, the Grizzlies' influence isn't just in basketball. Even outside of basketball, the Grizzlies' title win made a splash.

Originally, it was unpopular enough for the Grizzlies to win the championship. What's more, the course of this sixth game was still so unusual.

Those Grizzlies fans who watched the Grizzlies trail by 18 points and left early said that they will have regrets in their lives, and they were stupid enough to miss the opportunity to witness this historic moment.

The success of the Grizzlies undoubtedly caused an uproar. Seriously, the sudden rise of a team that had no sense of existence is not so quick to be accepted.

Although other teams have their ups and downs, there are times when they are bad. But most of them, at least once had a glorious history and have a certain historical background.

But the Memphis Grizzlies, they have been a bullied figure almost since they entered the league. The Grizzlies hadn't even won a playoff game until Link joined the team.

Although the Grizzlies played in the playoffs several times during the Big Gasol period, they were far from a strong team.

The Grizzlies have had no ups and downs because the team has always been at the bottom of the league's food chain.

The market is too small and the crime rate is too high, so that big players stop here. Therefore, if such a team wants to develop, it is difficult to hell at the beginning.

But now, this seemingly hopeless team that was sold last season has suddenly reached the top of the NBA.

It was astounding as if a team from obscurity suddenly won the World Cup.

The rise of the Grizzlies was so rapid that no one was even ready for it.

An ESPN article discusses this.

"This season, Kobe broke his Achilles tendon, and his team went through another low point. Duncan and GDP didn't wait to get revenge on the Grizzlies before they were swept away by the young Thunder. Garnett and Pierce are still deep in transfers. According to rumors, the last glory of the Celtics may become history. The Mavericks and Dirk seem to have no chance of recovery... They have become the past tense, now the 03 generation, and even Paul , Durant, Link and these young players era. Maybe you will like this era, maybe you won't like this era, but in any case, the Grizzlies' championship heralds that you have to accept this era, an era dominated by The era of youth rule. The story of the NBA has entered a new chapter."

This era has to be embraced, and that's ESPN's advice to fans.

No matter how incredible the speed of the Grizzlies and Link's rise, they won, that's what happened.

People will always miss the past, but the NBA chapter will never sympathize with the old.

"It seems that we have completely changed the alliance structure now." Randolph smiled smugly at Link beside him with the newspaper in his hand.

At this point, the Grizzlies are sitting in the lobby of the FedEx Arena.

Everything that happened here last night made everyone excited.

Fantastic game, incredible comeback, and finally, the real glory.

After winning the championship, after the champagne fight in the locker room, the Grizzlies went to the nightclub to party all night, and everyone had a great time.

It wasn't until six o'clock in the morning that everyone walked out of the nightclub in a hurry. At that time, Link deeply experienced,

What is morning milk really tastes better than late night wine.

But everyone is happy. After working hard for a whole season, after going through untold hardships, and finally reaching the goal, how about a night of indulgence?

On the afternoon of the second day after winning the championship, the Grizzlies players will gather in the arena to do a season summary, inform some things, and then officially start the holiday.

Although it was already afternoon, most of the people were still in a sleepy state due to the late night, and Link was one of them.

"Yeah...Yeah...The league has completely changed..." Link yawned. Lazily answered Randolph.

Link was not very interested in these follow-up reports of the championship. The only news that impressed him was the photo of Wade pouring Gatorade on his knee in the locker room.

In the original history, Wade should have been holding a cigar in his mouth and pouring champagne on his knees...

Although it looks a little sad, it is also impossible. If Wade poured champagne on his knee, Link would be crying now.

Seeing Link's listless appearance, Randolph raised the corners of his mouth with a smirk, "Are you tired last night, kid?"

"Nonsense, can you not be exhausted from playing until six o'clock in the morning just after the game?"

"I mean, are you exhausted after going home? I remember that the female reporter was very drunk when she left, and after you and her came home..."

"Damn, I knew you would say that! Why are you staring at me so well all day!" Link's eyes widened instantly, otherwise Randolph would have made up his own rumors again.

Last night, Rachel joined Link at the Grizzlies' post-championship bash. Originally this is a private party, players want to bring friends is allowed.

Rachel is also happy for Link. After all, she is one of the few people who has watched Link grow from the G League to the Finals MVP. So I got excited and drank a lot of wine.

After the carnival ended, Rachel was carried back by Link. Link was also tired at the time, too lazy to toss to find a hotel or something, so he took Rachel home directly.

But because he was too tired and drank a lot of alcohol, after Link put Rachel in the room, he fell asleep on the sofa by himself.

It's not that I don't want to, I really don't have the energy to do other activities!

"Don't react so much, hehe, I'll just ask casually."

Link rolled his eyes at Randolph, God knows what this guy has in his head, he would be a ghost if he just asked casually.

"Guys, how did you play last night?" Just then, Stevens and Robert Pera walked into the arena hall. In Pera's hand, he was holding the "hot" O'Brien Cup.

Yesterday, the hell knows how many people left their lip prints on the O'Brien glass and how much champagne they left. But now, the O'Brien Cup has been cleaned up.

There is no doubt that Pera is going to put the trophy in the new showroom inside the stadium.

"I'm very happy! I really hope to come here once a year, haha!" Nick Yang responded loudly, attracting everyone's unanimous approval.

"I think so too, but for now, let's put the honor we just won first and put it where he should put it." Pera, who was holding the O'Brien Cup, waved and led the players to the showroom.

The showroom is new, and the walls of this room are full of classic Grizzlies photos, big and small. But 90% of the photos came from after Link joined the team. After all, until then, the Grizzlies didn't have much that could be called a classic picture.

There is a large showcase in the center of the showroom, and inside it is already the Western Championship trophy that settled in Memphis some time ago.

With the help of the staff, Pera carefully opened the display case, and then gently put the cleaned O'Brien cup in.

Once upon a time, FedEx Arena didn't even have an honorary showroom. But now it's okay to not let it go, and as soon as it is released, two trophies are put in.

After re-locking the cabinet, Pera looked at the trophy proudly, and was almost moved to tears.

People say he bought the Grizzlies at a loss, and they say he, as a businessman, shouldn't let his interest take over his sanity.

In fact, Pera is indeed prepared to lose money. Most NBA owners keep teams at a loss.

However, the Grizzlies not only did not lose money, but also allowed Pera to make a lot of money. Before entering the Grizzlies, his stock had already started to fall wildly. But now, it has more than doubled.

Operating the team for a year turned around the revenue situation, and Pera is indeed proud of it.

At least he was absolutely right to give up Guy's controversial practice of righting Link completely.

Taking his eyes off the trophy, Pera looked at the players and smiled. Since Pera is not very old, only 35 years old, so he is very close to the players, and there is no air. He is also very casual when he speaks.

"I know what you're thinking right now, you all want to know when the championship parade will start. Don't worry, you won't have to wait too long. I need to make arrangements, after all, this is an unprecedented event in Memphis! So three I'll get back to you guys on the phone in a few days. Besides, I have two things to announce today, your teammates and coaches to be exact. Brad, Sean, the you guys."

After Pera finished speaking, she took the initiative to step aside. Stevens and Shane went up and looked at everyone.

Everyone is stunned, what is this for?

"Go ahead, Sean." Stevens nodded friendly to Shane.

Shane didn't refuse and spoke first, "Then I'll say it first, damn, I didn't expect such a day...I...I decided to officially retire this summer. For the game, I've given everything I could. I also got my wish with the Memphis Grizzlies, at the beginning of my career, with a championship ring and watching the rise of a team I love so much...  .I have nothing else to contribute and I have no regrets about how it ended."

Link suddenly stopped laughing, which was a bit sudden.
