Reverse Growth Superstar

　　Rachel opened her eyes, and the genius just turned bright. Christmas is coming soon, but she has no mood for the holidays at all.

　　 To be precise, since she said goodbye to basketball, her life suddenly lost its goal. For others, college life is the most free release of youth, but for her, it is a boring mess.

　　 Unlike most girls, she has a very passion for basketball. Rachel has been obsessed with basketball since she was exposed to basketball in middle school. Basketball is not a simple hobby for her. Once in the newspapers, people could often see a female player with a ponytail and a No. 32 jersey.

Member of the 2005 AAU Junior National Championship team, 2007 Medina County three-point championship, four times named to the top 64 players in Ohio... Generally speaking, a female player who can achieve such an achievement in high school Most of them will be favored by college teams.

　　Rachel is no exception. In her third year of high school, she had already won many olive branches from universities. Playing in the NCAA and entering the professional basketball world, this seems to be the trajectory of her life.

　　 However, at the peak of her basketball career, everything changed.

　　 Due to an accidental injury in the fourth year of high school, the team's record suffered Waterloo. That year, Rachel was very depressed, and at the same time she thought she was stressed and had a stomach ulcer.

　　 Rachel’s weight dropped wildly in a severe stomach disease. For ordinary girls, losing weight may be a beautiful thing. But for an athlete whose goal is professional basketball, the weight loss is nothing to be thankful for.

　　 After a terrible year in high school, Rachel’s market dropped drastically. In the end, she failed to enter the women's basketball school, but came to the University of Oklahoma.

　　 Because of the hard hits in high school, Rachel hardly played or watched ball after entering college. Because every time she sees others speeding on the basketball court and thinks of the life she should have, she can't help but feel uncomfortable.

　　 To her, basketball is like a first love. Although beautiful, but destined to say goodbye.

　　Rachel shook her head, no longer recalling the sad things. She took out her mobile phone and looked at it. As always, a few stunned people sent her confession text messages.

　　 But in addition to these boring text messages, Rachel also received a news feed. After seeing the headline of the news, the lazy college girl sat up.

　　 "Link signed a 10-day short contract with the Memphis Grizzlies, and the Chinese forward continues to march towards the NBA!"

　　 The simple title and unpretentious content make Rachel feel full of power.

　　 She didn't want to contact basketball anymore, but since she met the Chinese player, since she learned the story of that guy persisting in her dream, and since she saw Link being abandoned by the NBA, she still refused to give up. Until now, he has once again obtained the opportunity to realize his dream, and Rachel's heart has also changed.

　　 As long as you don’t give up lightly, chances will always appear, right?

　　Rachel smiled, maybe she didn't have to give up, she didn't have to be so mourned every day. Basketball is a game for the survival of the strong.

　　 "Link has succeeded, you have to be strong too!" Rachel cheered herself up to herself, then she picked up the phone and sent a text message to Link.

　　 "Congratulations."

　　※※※

　　 Today, Link was originally going to play away with the team in Texas. But as soon as he woke up early in the morning, he received a notice from Jeff Austin-"You are going to the NBA."

　　 The second time I heard the news, Link was obviously not as excited as when he first entered the NBA.

　　 "Where to go?" Link's tone was calm, because he knew very well that a ten-day short contract was far from a success. He also got a ten-day short contract with the Rockets, the result?

　　 It’s never too late to be excited when he signs a guaranteed contract and truly gains a foothold in the NBA.

　　 "Go to Memphis, the Grizzlies need you to join."

　　 "Memphis Grizzlies?" Link was a little surprised. He did not expect Jeff Austin to get himself to the Grizzlies.

　　 As an ordinary Chinese fan in his previous life, Link's understanding of the Grizzlies is actually very limited. After all, the Grizzlies have always been a tepid team in China.

　　First of all, the Grizzlies are a defensive-oriented team, which is destined to not be too interesting for the Grizzlies game. Secondly, the Grizzlies have always lacked superstars, Mike Conley and Marc Gasol can't bring much popularity to the Grizzlies.

　　Finally, and most importantly, none of the Grizzlies have won any substantive honors. Not to mention the championship. In the 10 years when Link watched the game, the Grizzlies never won the Western Conference championship.

　　 The Grizzlies had the hottest period in China, that is, the year they selected Wang Zhelin in the draft. But this kind of heat only lasted for a short while, because the Grizzlies never signed with Wang Zhelin from start to finish.

　　 Although the general manager of the Grizzlies always said that they were observing Wang Zhelin's situation, he never took any substantive action.

　　 This is the Memphis Grizzlies that Link knows, a team that can't be more popular in China.

　　 "Why Memphis?" After thinking about it, Link continued to ask. Although as a failed draft pick, he is currently not eligible to choose the team.

　　 But Jeff Austin must have a reason to throw himself away from Memphis.

"First of all, if you want to gain a foothold in the NBA, you need playing time. If each game is just a few minutes of garbage time like in the Rockets, you will never be able to sign a guaranteed contract. And in the Grizzlies, You have a better chance of getting playing time! Because the Grizzlies have few candidates for the third position except for Rudy Gay."

Jeff Austin paused, waited for Link to "digest" his words, and then continued: "Tony Allen is more suitable for playing at the second position. Sam Young can play small forward, but his performance has been very poor. Stable. The first-year rookie forward Xavier Henry from Kentucky was originally high hopes for by the Grizzlies, but unfortunately he has been reimbursed for the season due to an injury. Therefore, the Grizzlies need a stable three-position substitute. This is a good one. More suitable for your brutal growth than Houston, Link!"

　　 "Savage growth?" Link nodded, he liked Jeff Austin's words.

　　 Indeed, no matter how strong you are ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, if you can't show it, it's meaningless.

　　In the Rockets, Link has not been in the team plan. Adelman is very compassionate and never let Link play more than 5 minutes.

　　 Although a team like the Memphis Grizzlies is a bit unpopular, Lincoln can get a chance to show up. As a failed draft and development league player, Link doesn't expect to be the main player. It's already considered a success if you can start from the bench and get a firm foothold step by step.

"Furthermore, the Grizzlies' system and style of play are also suitable for you. They like to play a board game, like to win defensively, and they lack a stable three-point shooting point. Most importantly, with other fishballs. The team is different. The Grizzlies still have a chance to play in the playoffs this season. So, in my opinion, there is no better team for you than the Memphis Grizzlies."

　　 "What do you think, Link?" After giving Link some time to think, Jeff Austin asked again.

　　 This time, Link nodded, "When are we going to report in Memphis?"

　　 Jeff Austin breathed a sigh of relief, he was worried at first that Link did not trust himself. But it turns out that as long as you do your job well, you can win trust.

　　 "I'll buy you a ticket to Memphis right away. If nothing else, you should join your new team tomorrow."

　　 Hanging up, Link started to pack his luggage. I don't know why, he is full of confidence in this NBA journey.

　　 Maybe it's because, this time he is no longer alone.

　　 Thinking of this, Link put away his basketball shoes. The simple letters on the side of the basketball sole have not been erased yet-rest in peace, Zike.
