Reverse Growth Superstar

NBA All-Star Weekend, a game that is scolded every year and is boring, but every year is extremely popular.

When he was still a fan, Link also felt that the All-Star Weekend was not interesting. He looked at the dunk contest at most. Even so, several NBA slam dunk contests have made people sleepy.

But now as a player, Link feels that the All-Star Weekend is not so boring. At least, it's much more interesting than training and competition day after day.

The All-Star Weekend starts on the 24th, but until the 23rd, there are still teams playing games. No way, the shrinking season is so fucking. Fortunately, Link and Gasol did not encounter such a dilemma.

The Grizzlies game ended on the 21st, and the day before the start of the 23rd All-Star Game, Link arrived in Orlando with Gasol.

As soon as the plane landed, Link couldn't wait to glance outside. Sure enough, in the airport, Link saw this year's All-Star promotional poster! Most of the characters on the poster are players selected for the All-Star Game this year, and Link is impressively listed!

Although this is not the first time Link has seen his own poster on a building, Link still feels quite fulfilled to be able to appear with so many big-name stars.

Get off the plane and walk out of the tunnel. In the lobby of the airport, Link and Gasol encountered crazy besieged reporters.

In the past two days, reporters basically stayed at the airport 24 hours a day, just for the players who came to participate in the All-Star Weekend.

But today, when the reporters saw Link, they all opened their mouths in surprise.

This guy is actually quite stylish?

Under the stylist's creation, Link wore a dark blue suit, which exactly echoed the main color of the Grizzlies. Since he is an athlete, he has no body to say, it is just a clothes rack. Before crossing, Link always felt like a street liar in a suit.

This is the first time that he can get along with the word handsome after wearing a suit.

Not just a suit, but Link also wore a pair of sunglasses on his face, and his short hair was textured, somewhat like Paul George in the future. Although it is just a simple short hair style, the process of haircut is very complicated.

Link now finally knows, why those seemingly simple hairstyles look so good on TV, but they are so ugly to make them by themselves.

Because hairstylists are not at the same level at all, looking for 30 Tony teachers and well-known hairstylists for the same hairstyle, the effect is worlds apart.

The appearance of Link flashed the whole hall. I believe that tomorrow, his photos will also murder most of the print media.

"You are really popular, Link, the new look is very suitable for you." Gasol was a little envious of Link's popularity when he got on the special car to the hotel.

"Yes, it cost me fifty thousand dollars..." The thought of his expensive clothes made him painful.

I'm used to wearing Nike's free clothes, and suddenly I spend 50,000 yuan on clothes, which makes me feel bad.

"Hahahaha, but it's worth the money. You have competitions on three days this year and you have a lot of exposure. You really should play well. By the way, tomorrow you are going to warm up for the Rookie Challenge? "

"Well... I can take a rest today. Oh, no, there will be Nike events tonight. So strictly speaking, there is no day for me to have a good rest on this year's All-Star Weekend. "Link felt desperate when he thought of his full schedule. What about Golden Week?

But that's okay, Link was lazy because he was afraid that he would loosen up completely. There is always something to urge myself, but it can give people a certain sense of tension.

This year, Link's All-Star Game also has no goals at all. Rookie Serlink just wants to play casually, after all, it is impossible to win the rookie game MVP again. And this kind of prize is enough to get one.

All-star race? Link wanted to perform well, but it was too difficult to grab the All-Star Game MVP. This is not like last year, flicking Cousins ​​for a while to grab the MVP. James, Durant, Kobe, Anthony...It is not easy to stand out from these guys.

The two MVPs basically can't stand each other, so Link's goal for himself this year is to fight back with a three-point contest champion!

This year, the players participating in the three-point contest are not particularly strong. Chalmers has not always been a shooter. Although James Jones has a high shooting percentage, he has made few shots this season and may not be able to maintain his form. Ryan Anderson, Love and Anthony Morrow are not super shooters either.

So Link believes that as long as he tries to keep his hand feeling, it is not impossible to defeat them.

Link can't remember who this year's three-point champion was, nor can he remember the highest score in the three-point contest this year. All he knows is that when the three-point contest was not restructured before 2014, the highest scoring record in the three-point contest was 25 points, which was set by Craig Hodgson in 1986 and Novak in 2008 tied this record.

And to break the record, you have to wait for Curry in 2015 and German Booker in the future.

Therefore, this year there should not be any abnormal high scores.

Thinking of these, Link's confidence suddenly increased. Come to the All-Stars, you can't go home empty-handed.

※※※

On the morning of the 24th, the pre-match training for the rookie game officially began. Like last year, this kind of training is mostly show-oriented.

This year's rookie game is very special. In order to stimulate the ratings, the league no longer divides the first and second grades, but mixes the first and second grades, and then two old enemies, Barkley and O'Neal, choose the teams.

This year Link was selected by the Barkley team and started with old friends George, Cousins, and two champions Wall and Irving.

The O'Neal team started with Griffin, Monroe, Jeremy Lin, Fields and Rubio.

On paper, the Barkley team is stronger on paper. But people also believe that Griffin will play a serious game with Link because of being snatched from the start of the All-Star Game.

Overall, the restructuring of this year's rookie game is indeed very successful. At least in terms of attracting attention, the league achieved its goal.

Link is very fortunate that he is on the Barkley team, because most of the players here have a good relationship with him. At the very least, there are no players who are not right with him.

Therefore, when the rookie game is open for training, Link can practice his three-point shooting with peace of mind, without worrying about who will find the difference~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Link is indeed not as concerned about this year’s rookie game as last year. Well, people, you can’t just live in the glory of the past, you have to work towards a new goal.

As a result, the rookie game at night has become a stage for Irving, Wall and others. The fantasy of Link vs. Griffin did not appear, because neither Link nor Griffin played for long.

Griffin really wanted to beat Link, but he couldn't prove himself in a rookie game.

And Link is already an All-Star starter, and he showed his face in the rookie game.

This year's game, Griffin is still deducting deductions after playing. After Link came on the court, he just tried to shoot three-pointers to warm up for tomorrow's three-point contest.

Link feels pretty good today, 4 of 5 three points. But this is also because there is no defense in the rookie game, and Link has no pressure to vote, so it is so accurate.

Tomorrow's three-point contest is also undefended, but under the dual pressure of scoring and time constraints, players may not be able to shoot as accurately as they did during training.

In the end, New Division champion Kelly Irving blasted 34 points and became the MVP of the current rookie game. When the awards were presented, the officials deliberately arranged for Link to pass the trophy to Owen, which meant some inheritance.

But one of the undrafted winners gave an award to the top pick... well... Link thought it was pretty weird.

Today's rookie game ends here, and Link and Griffin are basically spectators. But after the game, Link did not leave immediately, but continued to practice three-pointers in the training hall.

On the one hand, Link needs to prepare for tomorrow's three-point contest.

On the other hand, after finally being able to get extra training time, Link also wanted to fill his little white bar as much as possible.

It has been more than two months since the last upgrade.
