"I didn't expect that you have become an intern reporter. No wonder you were gone all summer." Link sat next to the basketball, but the person next to him was no longer George, but Rachel.

"Haha, I just followed an Oklahoma tabloid to interview everywhere. I thought you would go to China to play basketball. Where are you very popular, right? I saw the photos of your trip to China, and it was so crowded." When I thought of Link's hot China, Rachel remembered the fact that she questioned whether Link was a real professional player at the time.

"I want to focus on my training, so I haven't gone anywhere. How long have you been an intern reporter? When you interviewed Coach Stevens, you're completely familiar with it."

"It only started in the summer vacation, but the NBA was suspended this year, so there were not so many opportunities for interviews. Otherwise, you will accept my exclusive interview later! If possible, this will definitely make our newspapers sell out! After all, you are also very well-known in Oklahoma." Rachel suddenly stared at Link, as if she had grabbed a fire in the cold winter.

"It's either that the interview is not good, or I'm probably not very popular in Oklahoma." Last season, Link and the Grizzlies sent the Thunder to the first round, and Link also defended Durant so miserably in some games. It's really a hell that Oklahoma fans can like him.

A high reputation is indeed a high reputation, but it is not a good reputation.

"It's okay, I'll ask you some professional questions instead of off-court gossip. Don't forget, I used to be a basketball player." Rachel said, raising her arms. Of course, she actually has no muscle on her slender arms now.

"Well, I'll accept your interview, Ms. Rachel."

"Haha, it seems you're in the state."

George, who was standing beside him, looked confused when he looked at Link who was chatting happily with Rachel!

What's going on? Link wasn't like this when he was in college. Why is it so popular now? After saying a few words, he got hooked up?

Well, it seems that I have to make a name for myself next season.

The interview between Rachel and Link was very simple. After all, Rachel is now just an intern reporter from a newspaper in Oklahoma City, so the entire interview is not required to be recorded.

They moved two chairs and sat in the center of the stadium, chatting like friends, and the interview began.

Rachel did ask many professional questions, which is different from most female journalists.

Most female sports reporters may not actually understand football so much, they usually play vases and interactive roles.

But Rachel is different. She has good basketball skills when she is not inferior to others.

Most of the questions she asked Link about the details and tactical issues of last season's Grizzlies and Thunder series, which would definitely make Thunder fans very much like it because it allows them to see how their team lost.

Of course, these tactics are not secrets now, so it doesn't matter if Link says it.

Finally, Rachel also asked Link, "When do you think the NBA shutdown will end? Do you have any gossip?"

If Rachel asks others this question, others will be sure to be blind. But Link, he may know better than David Stern how long it will take for the NBA to start!

Link first talked about a lot of things, including the interests of the employer and the workers, the losses of the team's city, etc. Finally, he concluded, "I think the NBA will almost start at the end of December. If you drag it on, it will be no good for everyone."

During the shutdown, countless experts and journalists were predicting the league's start time, but none of them were accurate so far.

Link believes that with this news, Rachel should be able to climb faster. By then, she may become the only reporter in the world to predict the NBA start day.

After the interview, Rachel turned off the recording equipment, and it seemed that she was already very skilled in such things.

"If I hadn't known you, I wouldn't have seen you're just an intern reporter." Link must admit that Rachel is talented in this area.

"Hahaha, you're not like a first-year player, Link. We've all changed a lot compared to a year ago."

"Yes" Link recalled that he was still struggling to survive in the Development League a year ago, and Rachel had no way to embrace basketball again.

What's the result now? One of them is an NBA player and the other becomes a basketball reporter.

God knows what life will become in another year.

"I hope I can interview you on the NBA's playing field in the future, Link."

"You can do it, it's a great time to accept your interview."

"Come on next season, and if you have time, call me. I'm going to go back to Oklahoma tomorrow. I'll wait until I'll arrive in your city next time, I'll tell you."

"No problem, as long as we don't just do exclusive interviews."

"Okay, next time I ask you to play basketball. Goodbye, Link."

“Emmmm is fine, goodbye.”

Link just waved goodbye to Rachel, and Paul George walked to Link with a slutty smile.

"I think you are very compatible with her."

"We met George a long time ago." Link was speechless. At this time, George was like a high school student who discovered that his brother was in love. Sure enough, sometimes, men all over the world are just as naive!

"I met you a long time ago!? You changed Link, you changed! When you were in college, you blushed when you watched the cheerleaders dance."

"Okay, aren't you going to a nightclub to have juice? Go quickly!"

"Are you going with me?"

"I won't go."

"Then you must have had an appointment with that female reporter. You have changed Link, you have changed."

From summer traveling in short-sleeved and Nike slippers until you have to put on a coat and a cotton coat.

From the scorching sun to the gloomy weather.

On November 26, 2011, after 15 hours of negotiations, NBA and industrial workers finally reached an agreement and ended the 149-day shutdown!

As soon as the negotiations ended, the league couldn't wait to announce that the new season will start on Christmas Day, December 25. The free agent market and transfer market will officially start on December 8.

The last time NBA was shut down, it took the league three years to pull back the ratings. Just think about it and know how much it was.

So this time, Stern could not start the game immediately as soon as the negotiations were over.

When the league announced this result, the whole world was shocked. The regular season started on Christmas Day, and it can be said that no one had expected this.

But at this moment, a report from the Oklahoma Evening Post suddenly became popular among the fans on the Internet.

This report is an exclusive interview with Link by intern reporter Rachel Demit. At the end of the interview, Rachel said that after a series of inquiries and interviews, she believes that the new NBA season will start at the end of December.

It can be said that she became the only reporter in the United States who expected the start of the new season!

The fans were very curious and wanted to see who the reporter was. As a result, after searching the Internet, the fans instantly transferred their interest in news to Rachel's face.

A new generation of basketball goddess was born like this.

Seeing Rachel making a hit on major basketball forums, Link was a little proud. Now, Rachel will definitely attract the attention of those big companies. You are talking about you, nba2k company.

But what makes Link happiest now is not Rachel's sudden popularity, but that after half a year, he can finally return to the court again!
