One Hundred and Forty-Five: From Idol to Friend

After the New York Knicks game, the No. 18 Grizzlies didn't play until the No. 19 before they began their fight against the Pacers in Indianapolis. So, on the 18th, Hollins took the team to Indianapolis for training.

Since there is plenty of time, Hollins naturally would rather take the team out earlier. After all, Memphis and Indianapolis are still a long way from each other. Even by plane, it would take three and a half hours. If you start on the day of the game, it will be too late.

Departure on the morning of the 18th, arrive in Polis at noon, and train directly at the Consecco Arena in the afternoon. Tomorrow, players will be able to play without the hassle of running around, which is perfect for Hollins.

During the media opening hours of the afternoon training, there were still reporters who asked Link how he felt after defeating Griffin. It seems that this matter has not been fully fermented after so many days.

Even Link was a little annoyed by the question. I wonder if Griffin's hairline has gone up these days.

After the interview, the whole team practiced and ran tactics together, and the Grizzlies' training today is over.

"Link, where are you going at night? Tony and I want to go to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, are you going? Experience the fun of Fast and Furious."

As soon as the training was over, Randolph leaned over to Link's side. It's Randolph's favorite moment of the day—arranging post-workout entertainment.

"Racing car? What kind of racing car can you fit in with your weight? I'm afraid you don't only have to drive an SUV on the track, right?"

"Come on, I'm going to drive you around in an SUV. Why don't you try it tonight?" Randolph was excited, he was a person who likes to pursue excitement. Before coming to Memphis, getting caught driving for speeding was a common occurrence for him.

Although much more honest now, there is an opportunity to legally drive for speeding that Randolph wouldn't want to pass up.

Although the Indianapolis Motor Speedway will hold many races, it is open to the public when there are no races, and every racing enthusiast can get off the track. Before coming to Indianapolis, Randolph had already planned to have a good run.

"Not tonight, I have an appointment tonight, you and Tony go."

As soon as Link finished speaking, he found that Tony Allen also "teleported" to his side.

"Have an appointment? With whom? Men and women? Where to go?" Tony Allen asked a series of questions, like an old father with a broken heart.

"Uh... and Paul George, what, want to go."

"Cut." Randolph and Tony Allen waved at the same time.

Link shook his head and ignored the two funny comparisons. It was true that he and George had not seen each other for a long time, and Link was still very interested in this old classmate.

Although George averaged 7.8 points and 3.7 rebounds this season, he was not even selected for the All-Star Rookie Game, but Link has no doubts about George's ability. He knows how strong his old classmate will become in the future.

What interested Link even more was that this old classmate also said that he would introduce someone to him today.

Hmm... if it's a female star, that's fine...

※※※

"Female star? How do I know female stars, do you think this is Los Angeles? Wait, you don't have a girlfriend yet, do you? No, Randolph should take you out to play often. Right. Link, Link, that's what you're thinking about. It's alright, if you want, I can take you to a new nightclub in the evening."

"Uh...forget it, George, there's a game tomorrow. You know, I've never been a big fan of places like that. Go all night and my ears are still ringing the next morning." Looking at George with a smirk on his face, Link waved his hands in disappointment, and co-authored George's introduction to himself that it wasn't a female star.

As for nightclubs... Link knows that George likes to go to nightclubs. Indeed, he is a hard-working player. In the year that Link passed through, George even played MVP-level data performance in the Thunder.

But that doesn't stop George from having fun. He was a nightclub guy in college. It's just that George separates play and work very well, and never affects work because of play.

With George, an old driver, Link believed that if he went to a nightclub, it would definitely be more fun than racing with Randolph. But there's a game tomorrow, and there's a lesson from Anthony and Harden. Therefore, Link could only reluctantly refuse.

"Then who did you introduce to me? Could it be a big man?"

"You're right, he's a big man. Let's go, you'll know when you go in!" George finished, and took Link's shoulders and walked into the restaurant.

For some reason, Link suddenly lost interest in this dinner. He lives in the crowd of men every day, and after finally coming out, he has to meet another big man... Link really feels that his life is about to lose the slightest color.

"It's there, do you know who he is? He's..."

"Brad Stevens!?" Before George could finish his introduction, Link called out Stevens' name! He knew these two guys were in Indianapolis, but he didn't expect them to know each other!

But on second thought, everyone is from the Indianapolis basketball circle, and it is normal to know each other.

Stevens was a little surprised to hear someone yelling at him. He was even more surprised when he saw that it was Link who shouted at him.

Does that kid know him too?

"You know him? Haha, I thought he was only famous in Indiana." George looked at George with a bewildered expression. Could it be that Link also pays attention to the NCAA in this state?

"How could I not know you! Mr. Brad, what a pleasure to meet! I'm Link, nice to meet you! I really liked you in Celtic...well, I liked you very much in Bulldogs The team's coaching style, I'm actually one of your fans." Link shook hands with Stevens very enthusiastically.

George on the side looked contemptuous, and Link just looked reluctant to know others. The result now? It's delicious!

"It's a pleasure to meet you, I didn't expect you to know about me too. I also like your style of play, Link. I heard that George is your old classmate, so I wanted to ask you out to meet. I didn't expect that, I still I thought you wouldn't pay attention to the NCAA games." Stevens was a little surprised, after all, he is not some famous coach.

Although he led Butler University to create the "Cinderella Myth" last season and counterattacked all the powerful players all the way in the championship, he eventually lost in the finals. Overall, Stevens does have some gaps in the NCAA and the real coach. There are many famous players in the NCAA, but there are only a few famous coaches that can be counted on one hand.

Others may be unknown for a lifetime and few people know about it. What's more, Stevens is the kind of head coach who is halfway through.

But Stevens is still too modest here, in fact he has been very popular last year. U.S. President Barack Obama personally called to congratulate him when he reached the finals at Butler University, and he also appeared on many talk shows after the end of last season. Although Stevens is not as well known as an NBA star, he is a public figure.

"Who doesn't pay attention to the NCAA in the United States? And you were very popular last year. Anyone who pays attention to basketball knows your name." Link told a white lie here, because as a Chinese in his previous life, he Like most people, he came to know Stevens through the NBA.

Well, the current Stevens is still not the NBA head coach, and Link almost missed the point just now.

"Hahaha, it seems that we are half old acquaintances! George, the meeting of the three of us is simply destined by God!"

"Yes, it's destined by God. Please, after a good night's rest, stop talking about basketball. Can't we talk about something else when we make friends?"

Link, George and Stevens meet for the first time in Indianapolis.

Link is thankful that he decided to meet George instead of going to the racetrack with Randolph, otherwise he might have lost a chance to meet his idol. No, now he should be called Stevens Friend.

Sometimes, a seemingly inconspicuous little decision in life, looking back, is very likely to change a lot of things...
