After a quiet New Year's holiday, the Grizzlies continued their regular season journey.

On January 2, the Grizzlies flew to Los Angeles to play two nights straight at the Staples Center against the Lakers and Clippers.

So, this time they will come to L.A. Link and they will stay for three nights in a row.

As soon as he arrived in Los Angeles, Link received a text message from Bryant, an old friend who invited him to sit at home after afternoon practice.

Link happily accepted, after all, the last time he saw Kobe Bryant was when he got married.

As soon as the training was over that afternoon, Link hailed a ride to Kobe's mansion.

As a result, as soon as he entered the house, Kobe's second daughter Gianna. Bryant seemed more excited than Kobe.

"Link, your four-double-double game was amazing! Even my dad never did anything like this, it's incredible! ”

Link smiled awkwardly because when Gianna said this, he noticed that Kobe Bryant was already covered in black lines.

As a basketball superstar, who can stand watching his baby daughter who loves basketball the most actually worship another person.

"Actually, Dad can do it, but he hasn't done it that way." Kobe Bryant had no choice but to use his old father's touching to kill.

"Okay, okay, how have you been learning Chinese lately?" Seeing this, Link hurriedly changed the topic, otherwise Kobe Bryant would have to leave himself alone today.

After dinner, Link and Bryant played table tennis for a while.

There is a table tennis table in Kobe's playroom, and he often competes with guests.

The origin of this ping-pong table has a long history.

It is said that on Thanksgiving Day in 2013, Lakers official website reporter Mike . Trudale and Lakers player Sean. Williams was playing table tennis, and after seeing Kobe, Trudell challenged Kobe.

Kobe Bryant thought he could win, but who knew that Trudale had practiced and beat Kobe Bryant.

An angry Kobe spat trash talk on the spot, and a few days later bought a ping-pong table to practice hard at home. The next year, he actually found Trudale to challenge again, and he won......

This matter can be said to be quite mamba.

This table tennis table has been put in Kobe's house until now, and Kobe has been practicing.

"Black Mamba" thought that he could save some face in front of his daughter on the table tennis table with his fair ball skills, but he didn't know that Link was a table tennis master in school before......

In this way, Kobe Bryant was abused to death on the table tennis table. Link's serving skills, Kobe Bryant has never seen at all.

This incident made Kobe Bryant understand a truth: "Chinese may not be everyone who knows kung fu, but absolutely everyone can play table tennis!" Don't play table tennis with Chinese, even if you're Chinese! ”

After winning three games against Kobe, looking at Kobe's serious appearance, Link hurriedly stopped the game.

He didn't want to be caught by Kobe Bryant and go to the basketball court to fight alone, nor did he want to play table tennis with Kobe late at night.

This guy is so competitive, he can play games and play them for real.

Kobe Bryant also remembered that he had something to say about calling Link this time, so he handed the table tennis racket to the two daughters who were watching, and walked towards the courtyard of the house with Link.

"Link, after your endorsement, our beverage sales have increased significantly. Although we can't completely swallow the market that Gatorade has occupied, in a few years, we should be able to compete with them on an equal footing. By the way, we've also become the official drink of the UFC, and being able to get involved in the martial arts world is a big help for us. It's all thanks to you, Link. ”

After a few breaths of fresh air in the courtyard, Bryant also calmed down from the loss at the ping-pong table and began to talk to Link.

"Haha, I didn't do anything, the most important thing is that you run it properly." Link waved his hand, and the contemporary spokesperson actually didn't have much credit for it, that is, he occasionally took pictures to change the packaging of the bottle.

Speaking of which, it's easy money.

"Don't say that, you're one of the shareholders, Link. By the way, I asked you to come today because I want to talk to you about something, I don't know if you are interested. I want to get a bootcamp. ”

"Bootcamp? Do you want to learn from Olajuwon? ”

"No, no, no, it's not that kind of thing, it's a training camp for teenagers, for kids. I want more children who love basketball to receive more professional and formal training. God knows, will there be the next Kobe and the next Link among them? ”

"So, what do you need me to do?" Link is a little interested, and if everything really goes well, Link also wants to try to try his hand at youth training after retiring at the age of 32.

"Of course, we need you to join me to teach the kids to play basketball, of course, we only need to show up occasionally, we are just their spiritual support. The training is more in the hands of professional coaches. You can also set up a training camp in China to discover more basketball talents like you. I believe that many children in China are actually talented, but they don't have a good training environment. It's like Siakam and Embiid, both of whom Bamot unearthed through training camp. ”

"That's right...... Not bad, just right, I also have experience in running training camps. Link smiled, his camp is the most popular in the country every summer.

Since the switch to an invitation-only system last summer, the bar has been raised even further.

Now Link's training camp has become a legend.

Because as long as the players come out of that training camp, there will generally be a significant improvement.

From the earliest Lillard to the current Jokic, they are all without exception.

Besides, now that Link is of Chinese descent, it has to be said that it is a pity that he cannot represent China in basketball games.

But if you can make some contributions to the youth training of Chinese basketball in the future, it must be quite good.

"You're interested" Kobe Bryant was overjoyed, he didn't think a twenty-something like Link would be cold to this kind of thing.

"Of course, why are you surprised?"

"Hahaha, that's it, we'll talk about it in detail this summer. By the way, Link, two teams in Los Angeles in a row will have to be doubly careful tomorrow. ”

"Oh? As far as I know, the Lakers and Clippers are on a losing streak right now. Bryant suddenly talked about the game, which surprised Link.

"Yes, but because of that, both the Lakers and the Clippers are desperate to make a comeback. Although they are facing the first place in the west, they will also fight to the death. This is Los Angeles, Link. If the Los Angeles team keeps losing, the fans won't say yes. ”

Link nodded silently after listening.

After the two chatted for a while, Link left Bryant's mansion at nine o'clock. After all, there is a game tomorrow, and as the leader of the team, Link can't go back too late.

Otherwise, everyone would do it.

However, Link didn't actually take Kobe's warnings too seriously, and the Lakers and Clippers ...... It shouldn't be that hard to do.

Although the Lakers have Lowe, they are always a bad team. The Clippers have Paul and Griffin, but the Grizzlies have already won them this season.

Link didn't think much of it, and went back and slept peacefully.

As everyone knows, the next day, the Grizzlies really got into a bitter battle in Staples.
