Three Hundred and Fifty-Eight: The Prelude to a New Era

Randolph was very happy, because when he saw Link again, Link became the spirited guy again. starter

That's right, if Link was so weak, and would sink for ten days and a half months because of a single loss, it would be impossible for him to overcome difficulties and win the game many times.

"How is it, Link? Does it matter? Yesterday I asked you to go shopping in the mall, but you refused me." As soon as Randolph saw Link, he went up to greet him. Although he put on a suit, Randolph Still a ruffian.

"What kind of shopping mall are two big men going to?"

"Tch, it's as if you are accompanied by a woman to go shopping." Randolph gave Link a blank look, and then the two walked to the restaurant together.

Robert Pera chose the Memphis branch of Kapton Grand Restaurant as the place where Robert Pera invited him to eat. As a high-end restaurant awarded the Outstanding Achievement Award by the American Culinary Association, it fits the temperament of these big bosses very well.

A very domineering stone lion was placed at the entrance of the restaurant. Link knew for the first time that Lao Mei also liked this thing. However, unlike the Chinese stone lions, they tied a very gentlemanly bow around the neck of the stone lions. Link felt uncoordinated, the domineering lion had turned into a beast in clothes...

After entering the restaurant, the waiter greeted Link and Randolph very politely. There was no one else in the restaurant except for a few Grizzlies sitting around a long table.

It seems that this restaurant was directly taken over by Pera today.

Well, maybe it was bought directly...

Link doesn't know much about this new boss, Pella. After all, Link wasn't a Grizzlies fan before, so naturally he didn't know much about the team's owner. But what Link is sure of is that this guy is very willing to spend money.

Gasol Jr., Conley and even Chandler Parsons in the future, all signed big contracts with the Grizzlies in the original history.

So, Link wouldn't be surprised if he bought a restaurant outright just to treat him to dinner.

"Hey, Link! You're finally here. Now you're wearing your number 0 jersey all over the street, and our jerseys can't be sold." Tony Allen also joked with him when he saw Link. .

It can be seen that even in private, the Grizzlies players have a very harmonious relationship.

"Hey, did any of you call Rudy?" At this time, Mike Conley asked.

Link also discovered that the Grizzlies players who still have contracts are basically here, and important personnel from the management and coaching staff are also present one by one, except for Rudy Gay!

"I called, but he said he wasn't coming. The new boss didn't seem to invite him. I suspect..." Randolph hesitated to speak, and it was really not good to discuss the whereabouts of his teammates.

"Everyone is here? I'm sorry, I didn't expect to be stuck in traffic! Hello everyone, it's nice to meet you!" At this time, a handsome young man walked into the restaurant and greeted everyone very freely, "My name is Robert. Pella, it's a pleasure to be a part of the Memphis Grizzlies. From now on, we will work together."

Looking at the man who walked in, Link was a little surprised, because this guy is so young!

In his mind, the team owner is either gray-haired or greasy with a big belly. But for the man in front of you, Link would believe him when you said he had only graduated from college a few years ago!

A clean suit, a well-groomed American haircut, and of course, the most important thing is his wrinkle-free face! Such a young team owner is indeed too rare!

This guy is handsome,

He is rich and single, so it is no wonder that he will become the "Diamond King" in the minds of American women.

Pera's opening remarks were so humble that he didn't even mention the word "owner," saying instead that he was happy to be a part of the Grizzlies.

He then shook hands with the players one by one. When Link was held, Pera seemed very excited, "Your performance in the Western Conference Finals this year was simply amazing. You almost overthrew the league's scoring leader! Believe me, we definitely have a chance to win the Thunder!"

"Thank you for the compliment." Link nodded slightly, and it could be seen that Pera was indeed more passionate about basketball.

After all, it is normal to be younger.

After the dinner, everyone just chatted about some things. Pera just said something like "I will try to make the team better", and didn't mention anything about team building.

After the meal, everyone chatted freely in the restaurant, and the meal turned into a banquet.

Link took a glass of cocktail and ran to the balcony on the second floor to get some air. He didn't expect that Pera would take the initiative to find him.

"Didn't bother you?" Walking to Link's side, Pera smiled kindly at Link.

"Of course not, thank you for the invitation, Pera."

"Hahahaha, you don't have to be so polite. Link, I really admire you. From being drafted to a superstar, such a story is too legendary. I must express my respect to you again. Your performance in the Western Conference Finals this year is simply amazing. Amazing! Come on, let's drink to your great performance!"

"Cheers!" Link raised his glass and touched Pera. He knew that when Pera came to find him, it was not just as simple as having a drink.

Sure enough, after taking a sip of wine, Pera's expression became serious.

"Link, to tell you the truth. I have already decided that the Grizzlies will build a lineup with you as the core of the team. Others may not know how much potential you have, but I am not stupid. Your level is not just in the Western Conference. The level of the finals! You know, I love basketball. I grew up watching the Lakers. So, I bought the basketball team not only to make money, but also to make a basketball career! I hope that the Grizzlies will be in my Under the leadership of ... can win a championship trophy! And you are the key to our road to the championship!"

To be honest, Link was a little flattered. He was worried at the beginning that he would be traded by Pera for some more famous stars. But now it seems that instead of intending to do this, Pera wants to further consolidate his core position!

"I will give you all resources, and even listen to your suggestions on personnel changes! The contract expires, and I will give you the best new contract! You don't have to worry about anything, the only thing you need to worry about is the game! I hope we The cooperative relationship between the Mavericks and Dirk will be like the Mavericks to Dirk, the Lakers to Kobe, and the Spurs to Duncan! I will regard you as the most important player, and we will work hard for the championship every year! To become such a role, you are ready Is it?" Before Link could react, Pera's mouth started a continuous attack like a machine gun. The new 81 Chinese website is updated the fastest Mobile terminal: https:/

"I have been working hard for the Grizzlies, Pera. Thank you for your trust, I will not let you down." At first, Link was actually very calm. Link became inexplicably excited when he heard the words "The Mavericks are to Dirk, the Lakers are to Kobe, and the Spurs are to Duncan".

In Memphis, become the core, lead the team to win honors, become a symbol of the city?

To be honest, it's really tempting!

Hearing Link's affirmative answer, Pera laughed happily and patted Link on the shoulder. When these two men met for the first time, they tried to change the pattern of the alliance!

After stabilizing the core of the team, a stone in Pera's heart also fell to the ground.

Next, he can start to flex his muscles. First, let's start with Rudy Gay.

As for Link, he was already thinking about how to start his own training this summer.

That's right, the Western Conference Finals have just ended. But the new era of the Grizzlies also began at the same time.
