: One hundred and twenty: real fragrance warning (32/40)

On the afternoon of February 17, in the Staples Center, the rookie team's training officially began.
　　 Of course, the biggest purpose of this training is not to train players, but to commercial hype.
　　 Every year at the All-Star Weekend, the training before the rookie game and the training before the All-Star game are all open to the media. To put it bluntly, this training is a show for the media to increase the exposure of the All-Stars.
　　 In the training ground, some of the players were playing around, some were chatting with each other, and some were being interviewed by reporters. There are only a few people who are training seriously.
　　 Link was a little regretful. Knowing that the training for the All-Star Game was a show, he brought trainer Marcus Will. Now that Link can only train with an unfamiliar trainer, Link always feels that the efficiency is not high.
　　 At this time, what Link is practicing is naturally the offensive footwork he learned from Kobe this morning.
　　 Link and Kobe's training lasted until 7:30 in the morning, and when both of them were too tired, they gave up.
　　 What surprised Link was that after training with Kobe in the early morning, he didn't feel sleepy, but walking on the street in the morning was refreshed. Moreover, the addition of such an extra training not only allows him to learn a lot from Kobe, but also allows him to increase his progress beyond the plan.
　　 After training, Kobe smiled and patted Link on the shoulder, "Next time I have a chance, I will be together again. It is very happy to train with you."
　　 Link really doesn’t know, whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. Fortunately, I'm not a Lakers player, otherwise I'm sure to get a call from a paranoid from time to time in the middle of the night.
　　 Speaking of what Kobe taught Link today, there are many and very complicated things.
　　 What tentative steps, dribble breakthrough steps and even back steps, anyway, Kobe is thinking about where to talk, regardless of whether Link can digest it.
　　Because Kobe knows very well that if you just rely on others to teach you how to play basketball, there is a high probability that you will not learn it. Unless you are willing to ponder it slowly, you will never become a trick in your own "arms." Therefore, whether you can learn is not based on digestion while studying, but depends on how much time you are willing to spend practicing.
　　 Link also knows this. When he was learning defense with Tony Allen, Link liked to catch his teammates and practice with him. Conley was the worst tortured. He was embarrassed to reject Link, so he was only tortured by Link over and over on the training ground.
　　 Now that Link can have a fairly good defensive skills, in addition to Hill's talent and Tony Allen's guidance, I also have to thank Conley for his sacrifice.
　　 But the defense of the trainer in front of him is too weak for Link. He doesn't need footsteps and can get in directly. With an unfamiliar trainer, there is no effect at all.
　　 Watching Link keep catching the trainer to practice his footwork, the reporters are also interested. In particular, some media from China finally took advantage of Link's break and went up to interview.
　　 "Lin Ke, do you have time for an interview?" Chinese reporters are still very cautious. After all, there are not many Chinese players playing in the NBA, and they don't know what the opposite is.
　　 "No problem." Link smiled, and he was very happy to see the "hometown" media interviewing him.
　　 "What did you practice just now? From the beginning of training, we saw you have been practicing the same project."
　　 The reporter used English to communicate with Link. Link looked around, and there was no American reporter, so when he answered, he spoke Chinese.
　　 "Offensive steps, various offensive steps. I want to perfect my offensive methods, so I must hurry up."
　　 The reporters were overjoyed. Link said this in Chinese, and he didn't have a chance at all.
"What does it mean for you to train hard? You are almost the hardest player in the entire training hall. Why do you still work so hard at the relaxing moment of All-Star Weekend?" The reporter also began to use Chinese and Link After the exchange, this not only narrowed the distance between the reporter and Link, but also directly narrowed the distance between Link and the Chinese fans.
　　 Chinese fans will feel that this guy is no different from everyone except that he could not choose his nationality. Jeff Austin would be so happy to know this. In the future, the door of the Chinese market will undoubtedly be greatly opened to Link.
　　 In this age when black people can yell "I love China" in Chinese, why can't the Chinese do?
"Training hard means everything. I know how I got up from the bottom step by step. So, I won't relax for a moment. Because there are many people watching behind you. Once you relax, some people want to replace you. "
　　 "If you have the opportunity, would you like to play in China?" Finally, the reporter asked a question that was enough to attract the attention of all Chinese fans.
　　 Link was a little confused. When this guy said he came to China to play, does he mean the CBA or the national team? No matter which one the key refers to, it is unrealistic.
　　 "Of course I will go if I have the opportunity, but for now, I still want to do what I have at hand." So Link could only answer in a very official tone, which was a foolish pass.
　　 After sending away the Chinese reporter, Link sat on the sidelines and thought for a while. One of the great advantages of being a Chinese-American may be that you don't have to contact the Chinese Basketball Association. After all, China does not allow dual nationalities, and even if Link wants to, he cannot play for the Chinese team.
　　 What's more, Link's wish is not so intense.
　　 Winning glory for the country is of course something every boy will fantasize about, but joining the Chinese men's basketball team is not as simple as winning glory for the country. The rules of the game may be more complicated than those of the NBA.
　　 After the Chinese Basketball Association enters the Yao Ming era, Link is willing to do some support within his capacity. But now...Forget it, the Chinese national team Zhang is in the muddy water, it's better to stay away.
　　 "Link, what have you been practicing just now? Are you thinking about how to cover my limelight tomorrow?"
　　 Just then, Link heard someone talking to him. Turning around, he found that it was his "good teammate" DeMarcus Cousins ​​on the first-year team.
　　 As one of the best performers in the 10 rookies, Cousins ​​was naturally invited to participate in this year's rookie game. Because Link and Cousins ​​didn't deal with each other during the regular season, Cousins ​​kept pestering him as soon as Link arrived in the locker room today.
　　 "You won't want to receive my pass tomorrow, Link."
　　 "On the training ground, I will definitely not show mercy to you, bastard!"
　　 "If there is a mistake tomorrow, I can't spare you!"
　　 Cousins ​​is like an aunt at the vegetable market, always chatting beside Link from time to time, and Link can't stand it.
　　 Didn’t I just lose to myself once? Is it necessary! ? And that game strictly speaking Cousins ​​lost to Randolph, why keep catching me!
"No, I just practice casually, who dare to steal your limelight." Link didn't entangle Cousins ​​much. Cousins ​​was extremely immature at this period, and there were few people in the league who could communicate with him. .
"It's useless how you practice, bastard. Did you see that guy? Wall is my good buddy! Tomorrow, he will pass the ball to me, many, many balls. As for you? You will be forgotten, man. "Cousins ​​is a little kid-tempered, losing to the draft makes him worry about it until now.
"Yes, yes~EbookFREE.me~ That's your good buddy Wall. But you may not figure out the situation, DeMarcus. Our team is very special this year. We have two top picks. Wall and repeat top picks. Griffin, is the focus of attention tomorrow. So guess, your good brother Wall will pass the ball to Griffin or pass it to you? Have you seen Griffin dunk? All of Los Angeles People are waiting to see him dunk. You and me, we will all be forgotten."
　　 Hearing what Link said, Cousins ​​looked at Wall, then at Griffin, who was surrounded by reporters, and curled his lips.
"But you don't have to worry too much, DeMarcus. Because of you and I, we don't want to be forgotten. But between the two champions, how can we get attention? Yes, we have to join forces. We have to take the initiative. , To steal their limelight. The rookie game is not really about winning or losing. If you can't even leave an impressive picture, then what else do we play?"
　　 Link flicked energetically. When dealing with a guy like Cousins, he didn't make any sense. After all, the brain circuits of such people are abnormal.
　　 "I...I won't join hands with you!" Cousins ​​scratched his head, then turned and left, not pestering Link anymore.
　　 Linkel's roots are finally quiet, and Cousins ​​is sure to wonder whether he should trust himself or not. For a while, it shouldn't be annoying again.
　　 Although he said those words to fool Cousins, Link did want to leave a wonderful performance. If only to accompany Wall and Griffin, what's the point?
　　 has come to the All-Star Weekend, so I have to increase my exposure.
