118: The Story of Los Angeles (30/40)

Turner, with the ball on the court, took advantage of a screen from center Spencer Hawes, circled mid-range, and shot.

The basketball crossed a somewhat flat arc and finally fell into the net. Finally, Evan Turner scored, but he didn't have any thrill of victory at this time. Because of the game, it has already reached the fourth quarter. And just now, it was the first two points he scored in this game...

"Turner's goal came too late, his goal could not save the Sixers or himself."

Hubie Brown shook his head, this game was far from what he expected.

In Hubie Brown's expectation, this kid Turner has to show a little bit of everything he says. However, the performance said no really no.

As of now, Turner shot only 1 of 7 shots, until just scored the first 2 points. The 76ers have also scored 15 points behind the building and are very passive.

On the other hand, Link has scored 14 points, 5 assists and 7 rebounds so far. Just looking at the data, you can see how big the gap between Link and Turner is.

After the goal, Turner was not happy at all, he could only feel a deep sense of frustration. He lost so utterly that he lost facelessly.

By the way, now Link is resting on the bench. It was Link's substitute Sam Young who just guarded Turner. In other words, Turner's only goal was not on Link's head... The so-called embarrassment is nothing but that.

A duel that was rendered vigorous before the game turned out to be one-sided in the end. The loser will naturally lose face.

In this game, Evan Turner told the world with practical actions that he was really not wronged when he was not selected for the rookie game. Losing to an undrafted pick also took a toll on Turner's self-confidence.

Link is well aware that the No. 2 career has been failing to deliver on talent. He will still be able to survive in the nba in the future, not to the point of being so miserable that he cannot find a job in the nba. But overall, I'm still sorry for his second-place status.

After a few minutes, an electronic buzzer sounds. 102 to 91, the Grizzlies easily defeated the 76ers at home, the eighth place in the East, and still maintained a winning record after Gay was injured.

After the game, t.nt, which is not afraid of big things, put the data of Link and Turner on both sides of the screen, so that fans can see a sharp contrast.

Link's side, despite not making many shots in the fourth quarter, still scored 17 points, 6 assists and 9 rebounds, a data close to a triple-double. Link is also not very eager to attack today, and Iguodala's defense is really good. If Turner defended Link the whole time, it would have been easy for Link to score 20.

However, even so, Link had turned Turner into scum. t.nt compared the data of the two, which can be said to be full of maliciousness.

After the game, Evan Turner left without looking back. If caught by reporters, he may suffer from embarrassment cancer.

Turner thought it would be his own battle of honor, but it was even considered one of the stains of his career.

After the game, Randolph happily patted Link on the back. His little brother won another crucial duel, and he must be very happy to be the big brother.

Most importantly, Randolph did not forget what Link said before the game, "Tonight will only belong to me."

Indeed, Link did it. This kid always keeps his word.

Link didn't come home late tonight, because the interviews and press conferences after the game were such a waste of time.

The concept of undrafted beating the second place was wildly hyped by the media, so there were also a lot of problems for the media after the game. Link is only glad that he is not in the East at this time, otherwise he has met Wall many times, and the media will not be able to hype it up.

After driving home, Link tiredly threw himself on the sofa, turned on his phone, and sure enough he received a lot of messages.

The one who sent the most messages was Jeff Austin, who arranged many business activities for Link during the All-Star Game. As an annual basketball event, Link only looked at the ball when he was a fan, but now that he has become a professional player, he knows that the All-Star Weekend is still a huge show.

However, Link did not reject taking more business activities during the All-Star Game. After all, there was no official game and no delay in training during that time. Participating in some business activities is also understandable.

Link's parents received the second most messages. Some time ago, Link paid for his father to open a gardening company. The renovation has just been completed in the past two days, and the parents happily took many photos of the storefront for Link to see.

There is also a message from the Upshaw family, which is the report card of Upshaw's sister. Ever since Link said he would sponsor her for college, she has been working hard in her studies. how to say? Upshaw used to treat himself as a brother, and he had to treat his sister as his own sister.

The last text came from Rachel, pictured at the Thunder home. A paragraph of text is also attached below, "I really hope to see you play at the scene again."

Link was about to reply to the text message, but Rachel sent another message, "I bought a ticket to the All-Star Rookie Game."

"Worthy!" Link suddenly stood up from the sofa, why did he suddenly feel nervous about meeting netizens... No, he and Rachel are not netizens either, and they had seen each other often before.

"you alone?"

"No, there are my classmates."

Seeing Rachel's reply, Link suddenly felt a little disappointed. No, people and classmates come to you to be disappointed, you bastard.

"Okay, I'll pick you up."

"No, let's go to the arena and watch you play. Get ready, Link. From the G League to the All-Star, not everyone has this opportunity."

Link held the phone and sat back again. All-Star Weekend may be more interesting than he thought,

The Grizzlies have only Link in the All-Star Game this year, and the rest are too lazy to run back and forth. So in the end, Link was alone on the flight to Los Angeles.

When Link was about to leave, Randolph made a special call to say that he had prepared some good things for Link yesterday and put them all in the bag for Link to check for himself.

When Link opened his small bag on the plane, he was speechless and almost spit out the juice he just drank.

Dude, two full boxes of sports protective gear...

"What the hell do you think I'm going to LA for, Zach?"

Although he complained so much, Link took out one of them and put it in his wallet. Ahem... Be prepared... New 81 Chinese website updates the fastest computer:

NBA players have always been more open to this kind of thing. Compared with millionaires and professional players, the most important thing around them is women.

Most people think that the most famous old yin stick in NBA history is Chamberlain, and this guy is nicknamed "Zhang 20,000". However, Chamberlain also clarified that what he wrote in his autobiography was purely bragging, just to create a topic for better sales of his autobiography.

In fact, the first old yin stick in the NBA was the "Magician" Johnson on his back. At that time, the "Magician" was located in Los Angeles, which was extremely prosperous and feasting. Therefore, it is also more convenient for the "magician" to operate. starter

It is said that the stands, toilets, elevators and even the office of the old Buss of the Lakers arena have left traces of the "Magician" battle.

Perhaps, this is the additional attribute that comes with Los Angeles. In Los Angeles, life is much more than just basketball.

As soon as Link got off the plane, he was greeted by the Union staff. Since the rookie game is the earliest event for each All-Star, so the rookie training also starts the earliest.

Although this kind of performance game is not important to win or lose, it does not require the players to cooperate more tacitly. But basic training is still essential.

So, today after a day off. The next afternoon, Link will participate in the training for the rookie game.

But playing first also has the advantage of playing first, at least after the 18th, Link will be fine. For the entire All-Star weekend after that, there was no competition task for Link, so he could relax and relax.

After staying at the hotel, the alliance staff will take Link to the place where they will train tomorrow, which is regarded as a door. Otherwise, if you don't even know where to train tomorrow, it will be embarrassing.

When Link walked into Staples, the arena was resplendent. The posters of various superstars highlight the glorious history of this team, and the championship pennants that can be seen everywhere remind people that this is a veritable giant.

After following the staff into the training hall, Link found that there were actually people in the training hall. The man was also stunned when he saw Link, and then walked straight.

This gentleman is none other than another great star of the Lakers, the most shining star in Los Angeles, "Black Mamba" Kobe Bryant.

"You're here, kid." Kobe was sweating profusely, looking like he had practiced for a long time.

Today, most teams in the league have been suspended, and only four teams have game assignments. As the host team, the Los Angeles Lakers naturally did not play. After all, the Staples Center has been used to prepare for the All-Star, so naturally there is no way to arrange the regular season.

It stands to reason that this is a rare rest day for the players, especially for a player like Kobe who is already quite young. However, it seems Kobe Bryant, he did not intend to rest.

"Still practicing? Don't plan to take a break for the All-Star weekend?" Kobe is a paranoid thing, well known to the world. But when Link got along with Bryant a few times, he found that his paranoia was more exaggerated than what was reported every day.

"Break? That'll make my body rust. Besides, the next few days will be so busy that I won't have time to practice. Don't hurry up while you have time now. After the All-Star Game, teams will start sprinting like crazy. Whoever really thinks the All-Star weekend is a holiday is a real idiot." Kobe smiled, then looked at Link, "Remember what I said to you last time we met? I said there was a chance to train together. "

"Of course I remember, and it would be an honor if I could."

Link still didn't know how much disaster he would cause him to answer casually.
