Two Hundred and Sixty-Seven: Orthodox and True Scriptures

Said to go to the supermarket to buy things, in fact, is to find a convenience store nearby. Link and Butler, wearing sunglasses and a hood, did not attract much attention.

Walking down the street, the building is full of Spurs posters. Today's game between the Grizzlies and the Spurs is also the focus of the battle. So walking on the street, you can actually hear a lot of people discussing the upcoming game.

"You did a great job yesterday, Jimmy." Link also chatted with Butler about basketball, so he couldn't stay silent all the time.

"I'm also very happy to help the team. Yesterday was really not easy." Butler smiled. Yesterday might have been the best night of his career.

"There will be a tough fight tonight."

"Yeah, I hope I can continue to help. Didn't the media say we're stuck in a spell that can't win streak? If possible, I really hope to break this embarrassing record."

"Have you seen this report too?" Link smiled. He thought he was the only one who had the habit of reading news early in the morning.

"The whole world is talking about it, and the whole world thinks we're going to lose in San Antonio. But I don't think so, what do you think?"

"Me? I never believe what the media says, I just care what we can do on the field."

"Haha, activism, isn't it? But I quite agree with your point of view, what to buy?" Halfway through the chat, Jimmy Butler turned into a convenience store.

"I'll buy a few sports magazines." Link just wanted to come out and walk with Jimmy Butler and squeeze instant noodles? I really can't do this kind of thing.

At checkout, several people lined up behind Butler. There are people from all walks of life who come to the convenience store to buy things. Butler turned to look at the team behind him, and then said to the clerk, "I paid all the bills behind."

"Ah?" Link was stunned, what is this guy doing?

Link suddenly remembered an article he had read before. If you go to the supermarket and meet Jimmy Butler, you are lucky. As a child, Butler was so poor that he had to rely on others to help him because he was living in many friends' houses.

So after entering the NBA and getting even a rookie contract with little money, Butler was determined to "benefit the world", just as others helped him back then. Whether you're buying ice cream for $1 or $2,000 of everything,

He will take the initiative to check out for you.

In this way, this report is indeed not groundless.

The people who bought things behind him basically had the same confused expression as Link, but they were not shy if there was such a good thing. After a while, Butler helped everyone pay the bills, and then motioned for Link to return to the hotel.

Everyone's consumption habits are related to their childhood experiences. It's like Antetokounmpo, whose family used to set up stalls for a living, after getting his salary, he gave all the money to Gary, and he was so poor that he could only run. Go to the training hall.

In the end, he met a Bucks fan and drove him to the arena.

Of course, these are things in the future.

"Jimmy, if you play again tonight, you may play against Richard Jefferson. If you can properly improve your attacking desire, I believe you can get a lot of opportunities on him." After the episode, on the way back to the hotel, Link and Butler chatted about the game again.

This year, the Spurs' lineup is a bit weird, with Ginobili returning to the role of sixth man this season after being the main attacker last season. And since Richard Jefferson and Leonard are both at the 3, Popovich followed the example of the Grizzlies, letting Jefferson continue to get at the 3, and then swinging Leonard to the second number.

As we all know, Leonard's career has basically been a three-position player, but his rookie season is indeed a special case. It wasn't until Richard Jefferson was completely waived by the Spurs and sent to the Warriors in the second half of the season that Leonard took his place at the 3.

And tonight's game, the Spurs will definitely continue to use Leonard to guard Link. So Link was wondering if Jimmy Butler could steal a few goals against Jefferson. After all, Richard Jefferson's defensive skills really don't have much left.

"I will defend well first, but if there is a chance on the offensive end, I will also try. I know that you and Mike will always send the ball to the person who has the opportunity in the first place." Jimmy Butler nodded, Agree with Link's point.

The Spurs had Leonard this year as a "new weapon", and now the Grizzlies have it too.

Lunch, lunch break, training, dinner, physiotherapy, warm-up, race preparation...

The biggest feeling for Link this season is that it is boring. Due to the intensive schedule, he basically lives this kind of life every day. entertainment? It is estimated that only people like Harden who can continue to play after having a blast in the early morning and evening can take a break from their busy schedules.

Although they fought hard against the Celtics yesterday, the Grizzlies are still in good spirits today. After all, the San Antonio Spurs are no ordinary opponent.

So far, the Grizzlies have been defeated by the Spurs twice. No Grizzlies player is willing to lose to an old opponent for the third time. Once at the ATT Center, the Grizzlies players can feel like they've played chicken blood.

But again, the Spurs players aren't taking it lightly today. The hatred of being eliminated in the playoffs last season, the Spurs won't be able to eliminate the Grizzlies ten times this season.

During the warm-up, Link could clearly feel the heat in the AT&T Center. The Spurs fans are just like the holiday today. For them, watching the Spurs run wild with Link is simply more fun than the holiday.

Link's attention was all on the Spurs' No. 2. The first two times he met Leonard, Leonard gave Link a huge surprise. I don't know how much that kid has grown up to now.

Just then, Tim Duncan, the guy, suddenly ran towards the Grizzlies half court and threw a free ball. It's like he's a Grizzlies player himself, totally unashamed.

But after throwing the ball, Duncan found that the Grizzlies didn't pass the ball to him.

During the warm-up, the players usually shoot, and then send a few trainers or bench players to pick up the ball on the bottom line and pass it to the warm-up players to continue shooting. As a result, after Duncan finished the shot, the Grizzlies ignored him at halftime.

Duncan scratched his head and turned his head to see Link who was staring at him. So Duncan showed his "cute" smile and hopped back to his own half.

Hmm...jumped back to his own half like a kid. When Duncan returned, Popovich scolded him, but Duncan was still laughing.

It can be said that what just happened was really Duncan.

Although this guy Duncan doesn't talk much, he is actually very funny, completely inconsistent with the serious image in everyone's eyes.

But the San Antonio Spurs, it is precisely because of this No. 21 No. 21 pick, that they have become so popular.

Link originally relaxed a lot because of Duncan's amusing behavior, but when he saw Leonard, who was still unsmiling, Link tightened his nerves again.

Duncan was fake silence, but it was funny.

But Leonard, that guy is really unreasonable...
