927: A family of one's own
Rachel, as the sole host of the NBA2KTV, naturally will not be absent from the All-Star Game.
She had to bring live coverage of the All-Star Game to all NBA2K players, and she also needed to prepare material for the All-Star Weekend special.
It was destined to be a very busy weekend for Rachel. She was supposed to have to familiarize herself with the scripts of the next day's interviews with the stars, but at this time, Rachel was not thinking about work at all.
"I really envy their family of four, they are so happy." Rachel took Link's arm, and now that the two had finished their dinner with the Kobe family, they were taking a walk in the hotel's small garden.
Although the temperature in New York in February is very cold, most people don't want to wander the streets at this time.
But for Link and Rachel, who rarely have time to get together, they feel very warm at this time.
"yes, Kobe Bryant's family is very happy. Two lovely daughters, a wife who loves her...... By the way, it is said that they are still preparing to continue to have children, what a lively family. In this way, Kobe Bryant can also retire with peace of mind. ”
Link looked at the night sky over New York with mixed feelings.
It's not the first time I've experienced it, but Link still found it hard to believe when he heard Kobe Bryant talk about his retirement plans at the dinner table.
He hasn't forgotten when he first participated in the All-Star Games, when Kobe Bryant called him to practice in the early hours of the morning.
He has not forgotten the duels he had with Kobe Bryant on the court.
I haven't forgotten the sweat they put into the training gym every summer.
And now, this guy who has been by his side for several years suddenly said that he was leaving......
Link really found it a little hard to accept.
When Kobe Bryant retired before, Link was just a fan, and Kobe was just one of his idols.
But now, Kobe Bryant is an important part of Link's life, a living person around him.
This made Link even more reluctant to leave Bryant.
Although Kobe Bryant just said that he has not yet decided when to retire, Link knows that the time is not far off.
If nothing else, next season will be Kobe's last......
Link skimmed and didn't think much more. Before he knew it, he had been in the league for so long.
"You also think they are very happy, so do you want to have a happy family of your own?" Rachel said, holding Link's arm a little harder.
Link looked at Rachel in surprise, and they had been together for a long time......
From unknown to popular all over the United States, they have all come together.
A happy family of your own...... Could it be ......
"Hehe, go back quickly, it's not too early. I've got to go back to my room, and I'm going to get busy tomorrow. Rachel smiled, interrupting Link as he was about to speak, then let go of his hands.
The two actually lived in the same hotel, but they didn't live in the same room for the convenience of work.
"Hmm...... Tomorrow, wear more clothes. ”
"Don't worry, there is air conditioning in the studio, it won't be cold. Thank you for bringing me to tonight's dinner, Link, and I'm having a great time tonight. ”
After saying that, the two said goodbye to each other in the small garden of the hotel.
Looking at Rachel's distant figure, Link scratched his head a little overwhelmed.
Happy Family ...... Is it?
※※※
"You idiot, of course she wants you to propose to her, propose! This kind of thing, is it difficult for girls to take the initiative? ”
Gasol looked at Link as if he were looking at an idiot.
When Link returned to his room, he chatted with Gasol about the "inexplicable" thing Rachel had just said.
As a married man, Gasol immediately understood what Rachel meant. At the same time, he was amazed by Link's woodenness.
Link is incredibly smart on the basketball court, but he's stupid in the relationship between men and women.
"Propose?" Link was taken aback, "Is it that serious?" ”
"Of course, otherwise why would a girl suddenly tell you about family or something. Now, she definitely wants to form a happy family like Kobe Bryant's family with you! Speaking of which, you and Rachel haven't been around for a day or two, and they're old enough to get married. ”
"In that case, why did she leave so suddenly?"
"Because she wasn't prepared herself, by the way, she also gave you some time to prepare. I have to say, Rachel is such a good girl, she is very good at thinking about you. Don't just think about basketball all day. If I hadn't given you an analysis, you would still be in the dark. Gasol patted his chest and raised his head proudly.
"Damn, haven't you only been married for a few years, don't be very experienced. However, starting a family ......"
Link pouted, Link didn't really have any concept of the word family.
Before he crossed over, his family was in tatters. Now, although he has a whole family, he has a pair of responsible parents. But Link only thanked them, but not in the actual sense of affection.
What does family mean to Link? It means the sofa of Upshaw's house, the locker room full of noise at the Federal Express Arena, and the difficulties he and his teammates face together again and again.
For so many years, Link has always treated his friends, teammates and team as family.
But Link knows that a family that truly belongs to him is very different from these.
He really didn't have much experience in this area.
How can a person who has never really experienced the word "family" start a family?
"Okay, don't put yourself under such pressure. And of course, don't keep Rachel waiting too long. Many people think that starting a family will tie their hands and feet. But I think I'm more ...... after starting a family How so? More mature? More responsible? I don't know how to explain it, but after starting my own family, I feel that my life has changed for the better. ”
Gasol tilted his head, but Spaniards rarely talk about their families.
"Sometimes, it feels like it's time to be the time. Life isn't like a game, you can't wait until everything is ready. Is there a time when everything is ready in life? But you don't have to rush, you can wait until this summer, and when everything is over for the season, you can think about it slowly. By then, both of you should be ready. ”
Looking at Gasol's serious expression, Link couldn't help but laugh.
I didn't expect that little Gasol still has this kind of "function".
"Okay, let's not discuss this, see what you can get." Link waved his hand and lay down on the bed.
"Hehe, let's not talk about that. By the way, where are we going to play tomorrow night? Don't tell me, you've got to date Rachel tomorrow, and Rachel will be busy at the rookie game tomorrow, and you can't date her. ”
"I'm not going anywhere tomorrow night, I'm going to rest at the hotel." Link waved his hand.
"Resting in a hotel? God, I have to call the FBI, you must have been kidnapped by aliens! ”
"Don't make a fuss, this year's All-Star Game, I have a task on me! This time, I'm going to have to do a big job. ”
Link looked at the ceiling, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked.
Did Kobe Bryant say All-Star Game MVP? Anyway, I didn't say anything about the loss!
