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

On January 2, all the Grizzlies flew to Los Angeles. They will play two consecutive nights at the Staples Center, against the Lakers and the Clippers respectively.

So, this time, they will stay for three consecutive nights when they come to Los Angeles Link.

As soon as he arrived in Los Angeles, Link received a text message from Kobe, and the old friend invited him to sit at home after the afternoon training.

Link accepted it happily. After all, the last time he saw Kobe, it was the time to get married.

As soon as the training ended that afternoon, Link called a car to Kobe's mansion.

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

"Link, your single four-double game is really amazing! Even my dad has never done such a thing, it's incredible!"

Link smiled awkwardly because when Jaina said this, he found that Kobe's face was already dark.

As a basketball superstar, who can stand watching his favorite baby daughter admire another person?

"Actually, dad can do it, but he hasn't done that before." Kobe helplessly used his old father's head-touching kill.

"Okay, OK, how have you learned Chinese recently?" Link hurriedly changed the subject when he saw this, otherwise Kobe would have left himself to fight alone today.

After dinner, Link and Kobe played ping-pong for a while.

There is a table tennis table in Kobe's game room, and he often talks with guests.

The origin of this table tennis table is very profound.

It is said that on Thanksgiving Day 2013, Lakers' official website reporter Mike Trudell and Lakers' player Sean Williams were playing table tennis. After seeing Kobe, Trudell challenged Kobe.

Kobe thought he could win, but who knew that Trudell had practiced it and beat Kobe to a tragedy.

The angry Kobe squirted about trash on the spot and bought a table tennis table a few days later and practiced hard at home. The next year, he actually found Trudell to challenge again and won...

This matter can be said to be quite Mamba.

This table tennis table has been placed at Kobe's house until now, and Kobe has been practicing it.

"Black Mamba" thought that he could win back some face at the table tennis table in front of his daughter, but he didn't know that Link was a table tennis master at school before...

In this way, Kobe was tortured to death on the table tennis table. Kobe had never seen Link's serving skills before.

This incident made Kobe understand a truth: "Maybe not everyone knows kung fu, but everyone can definitely play table tennis! Never play table tennis with Chinese people, even Chinese people, not enough!"

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

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

This guy is so competitive that he can be serious while playing games.

Kobe also remembered that he had some serious matters to say when he called Link this time, so he handed the table tennis racket to the onlookers and took Link to the courtyard of the house.

"Link, after you endorsement, our beverage sales have increased significantly. Although we cannot completely swallow up the market occupied by Gatorade, in a few years, we should be on par with them. By the way, we have become the official designated beverage of UFC. Being able to enter the fighting field will also be of great help to us. This is your credit, Link."

After taking a few breaths of fresh air in the courtyard, Kobe also calmed down from the defeat of the table tennis table and began to chat with Link.

"Haha, I didn't do anything. The most important thing is that you operate it properly." Link waved his hand. As a spokesperson, he actually had no contribution or no contribution, that is, he just took photos occasionally to change the packaging of the bottle.

Speaking of which, what you earn is easy money.

"Don't say that, you are one of the shareholders, Link. By the way, I asked you to come today because I wanted to talk to you about something, I don't know if you are interested. I want to set up a training camp."

"Train camp? Do you want to learn from Olajuwon?"

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

"So, what do you need me to do?" Link was a little interested. If everything really went well, Link wanted to try to join the youth training career after retiring at the age of 32.

"Of course you need to join me to teach the children to play basketball. Of course, we only need to show up occasionally. We are just their spiritual pillar. Training is more about professional coaches. You can also set up training camps 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. Just like Siakam and Embiid, they were all discovered by Bamot through training camps."

"This is... not bad. It happens that I have experience in holding training camps." Link smiled. Every summer, his training camps are the most popular training camps in the United States.

Since it was changed to an invitation system last summer, the threshold has been further raised.

Now Link's training camp has become a legend.

Because as long as the players who come out of that training camp generally make obvious progress.

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

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

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

"Are you interested?" Kobe was overjoyed. He thought that a guy like Link would not catch a cold in such a thing.

"Of course, why are you surprised?"

"Hahaha, that's it. We'll talk about this matter slowly this summer. By the way, Link will be more careful when playing against two teams in Los Angeles in the next two days."

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

"That's right, but because of this, the Lakers and the Clippers are eager to make a comeback. Although they are the number one in the West, they will also fight to the death. This is Los Angeles, Link Los Angeles teams that keep losing, fans will not agree."

Link nodded silently after hearing this.

After the two chatted for a while, Link left Kobe's mansion at nine o'clock. After all, there will be games tomorrow. As the team leader, Link cannot play too late to go back.

Otherwise, everyone would have done this.

However, Link actually didn't take Kobe's warning too much. The Lakers and the Clippers... should not be difficult to deal with.

Although the Lakers have Lloyd, they always play bad teams. The Clippers have Paul and Griffin, but the Grizzlies have beaten them this season.

Link didn't think much about it, and after he went back, he slept peacefully.
Chapter completed!
