Four Hundred and Eighty-Three: Medium-Term Trading Rumors
After the public training before the All-Star game on the 16th, the video of Link and Owen dueling on the training ground was posted on the Internet and went viral.
In people's minds, Irving should be a good one-on-one player. He's going to take Link away with that fancy dribble, as if it shouldn't be too difficult. However, what people see on the Internet is Link's big cap on Irving and a series of easy scores after the No. 0 forward.
After the video was uploaded by major reporters, the popularity even overshadowed the upcoming single event tonight. Every commentator and guest talked about Link and Owen's duel.
So much so that when participating in a business event in the afternoon, someone asked Link, "How does it feel to win Kelly Owen in the heads-up?"
"We're just kidding, otherwise the training before the game would be too boring. Kelly is a very good player, his attacking style is very gorgeous. If it is in the official game, he will definitely perform better. "
Link was very kind in front of the camera, he didn't take the opportunity to mock Owen, and he didn't talk a lot, which was enough to give Owen face.
After all, Link and Owen have no grudges, and one is in the east and the other in the west, and they are not direct competitors. Therefore, Link did not "kill" Owen.
It is Durant who is going to win. The media is expected to enjoy the performance of Link and Durant's quarrel today.
Although on the surface, Link always used "entertainment" to advertise this heads-up. But in fact, what Irving has experienced, he knows best.
entertainment? Have you ever seen entertainment where you almost got a nervous breakdown?
So in the three-point contest that night, Irving was extremely focused. He knew that this was his only chance to save face.
Ultimately, Irving shines in the three-point contest. He defeated the "Red Mamba" Bonner from the Spurs by 3 points in the final and won the 3-point contest. It also proved to the world that he is not the kind of player who can only play tricks. His glamour on the basketball court is not flashy.
It wasn't until Irving lifted the three-point contest championship trophy that he finally breathed a sigh of relief. At least this three-point contest championship will keep this All-Star weekend from being all bad memories.
At the same time, Link, who created nightmares for Irving, is playing around in Houston with Rachel.
Link, who was screaming with Rachel in the amusement park, wouldn't know, because he defeated Owen mercilessly,
His image in the league has become more and more terrifying.
A generation of veterans and rookies alike was born the great devil who was afraid of three points.

"Damn, why are you back?" At night, watching Link opened the door again and walked into the room, Randolph, who was playing games, spread his hands.
Link rolled his eyes at Randolph. As long as he came back these days, Randolph would deliberately ask this question. Because in Randolph's concept, a date that has to come back alone at night is not called a date.
"Where do I live if you don't come back, the entrance to the Toyota Center?"
"Of course it's Rachel's room, she didn't invite you up for a cup of coffee?" Randolph grinned, completely missing the serious look he had for being selected as an All-Star a month ago.
Now Randolph has become an out-and-out funny ratio.
"You've been drinking coffee all day, and tomorrow night is the All-Star Game. How are you preparing, Zach?"
"Cut, do you need to prepare? I'm not the protagonist anyway. Come and play an NBA2K game with me. Look, since I was selected as an All-Star, my attributes have become 83, hahahaha." Lando The husband motioned for Link to sit down, and Link was also bored, so he simply picked up the handle and played a game with Randolph.
"I don't know what will happen to the league before the trade deadline. Have you heard? The Hawks are particularly interested in taking Josh Smith. Because of the guy's contract extension with the Hawks, it doesn't seem to be very pleasant to talk about. And Dwight Howard, who has struggled with the Lakers this season and probably won't stay this summer. I don't know if the Lakers can take him before the trade deadline. Also, I heard Kyle The Specials are already trying to move Pierce and Garnett. Damn Danny Ainge, what a cold-blooded guy, players can throw them out when they're useless."
While playing games, Randolph chatted with Link about recent trade rumors. In February every year, apart from the All-Star Game, what fans talk about the most is the mid-term NBA trade.
Player trading is always a hot topic in the NBA. After all, with the help of reporters, every player's departure or stay is as exciting as a high-scoring suspense movie.
"I don't care much about this. After all, we don't seem to have any mid-term trade plans this year. As for Howard, he probably won't be taken over. Howard's contract expires this summer. If he can sign it directly, who will move the chips? What? Josh Smith is also the same, he and Howard will basically stay on the team." Link pouted, as someone who has seen all the transactions over the years, he does not mention this kind of unsuspenseful thing at all. get interested.
"Who said we didn't have a deal plan? I heard that someone might be leaving between Darrell Arthur and Speights." Randolph approached Link's ear mysteriously, making it seem like a room There's a third person in there.
"You've heard a lot, Zach, but none of it's true. You said they're leaving, where are they going? Who are they going to replace? We're number one in the league, man, we've been in a lot of positions. There is no need for reinforcement.”
"Of course there is, it's Speights and Arthur's positions that are reinforced. Management wants to strengthen the 4 position. The poor Arthur didn't perform very well after his Achilles tendon ruptured last season, and his athletic ability is not half as good as before. Okay. That guy Speights has been getting fatter and fatter recently... I mean, his state fluctuates a lot." Randolph was talking, and in the game, Speights came out to replace him. down.
"Okay, so who is the candidate we got?" Link didn't pay much attention to the transaction, and he really didn't know that there were rumors of the Grizzlies.
"Um...what's that kid called? I don't know him. It's like, Toberson Harris? Harris anyway."
Link shook his head, Randolph's news was really unreliable. Tobson Harris, does the league have such a No. 1 player? Even if there is, such a player who has never heard of it is not necessarily better than Speights and Arthur.
Link kept repeating this funny name in his mind, but the more he repeated, the more smooth the name seemed to Link.
Just as Randolph was about to control Link for a dunk, the game's pause menu suddenly popped up on the TV.
"Damn, Link, what are you doing? It's you who wants to dunk!" When someone pressed timeout when he was about to dunk, Randolph almost smashed the handle.
Link ignored Randolph's yelling, and stared at Randolph with wide eyes, "The Harris you just said was not called Tobias Harris, right? That Tobias Harris from the Milwaukee Bucks? The Grizzlies want to trade him?"
Randolph didn't know why Link was so surprised, or why he was suddenly interested in this rumor again.
The big black bear just shrugged and replied lightly, "Maybe, maybe it's called that."
