218: All have progressed

From the moment he entered the basketball arena, Bryant noticed that Durant and Link were a little off. After the two came in and greeted everyone, they began to warm up, as if they were preparing for a regular season game, and no one would admit defeat.

But when he thinks of the two guys meeting in the playoffs this year, Kobe Bryant feels that their attitude is normal. The Thunder's ambitions this season are aimed at beating the Lakers. The result? In the first round, he was wiped out by the Grizzlies.

As for Durant, as a two-time scoring champion, the key battle of the playoffs was prevented by a first-year who couldn't find the basket, which was naturally a stain on his career.

And Link, although he won the game with the Grizzlies in the end, he will naturally see Durant as a formidable opponent. Seeing that people are going to clean you up today, you naturally have to prepare well.

"Young people's motivation is good." Next to Kobe, Paul looked at Link and Durant with smiles on his face.

Now Paul still thinks that he will play alongside Kobe Bryant next season, can he not laugh? Kobe Bryant invited Paul to come over to participate in the game this time, and he also had ulterior motives. Because according to the current information, the trade between the Lakers and the Hornets has basically been negotiated, and as soon as the free agent market and the trade market open, the trade request can be officially submitted to the league for review.

However, Paul can't even imagine that although he still came to Los Angeles, he took a completely different path......

"yes, Kevin and Link will definitely fight seriously later. That's a good thing, Chris, I just need someone who plays seriously to play in the game. "Kobe Bryant is also full of smiles, and he likes people who are hungry for winnings. And Link and Durant, at this time, both have a strong desire to win in their bones.

Half an hour later, all ten people who were invited by Kobe to participate in the game arrived, and Link took a look around and had to admire Kobe's appeal.

This is an all-star lineup!

Paul, Kobe, Anthony, George and Link themselves will not be mentioned, these are the five people he has known for a long time.

The other five people are also not idle.

Stoudemire, who is entering the film industry in Los Angeles, and Kevin Brown, who is returning to his alma mater UCLA, to train. Lefou, Toronto "Spring Man" DeMar. DeRozan, "Bearded Captain" Byron. Davis plus "belly black brother" Durant.

These ten people, although not all of them are top NBA stars, are definitely not famous.

Kobe Bryant clapped his hands when he saw everyone arriving, "Let's get ready, play seriously, and find out the state." Of course, you have to be safe. Twenty minutes for one round, let's play two rounds today. When it's over, I'll have dinner. In three sentences or two, Kobe Bryant made the rules clear.

Since there are no substitutes to make substitutions, the players are constantly fighting, so they only play 20 points a game. You don't have to play for a long time to find your form, it's mainly about finding the feeling of the game.

Link was a little excited, this kind of high-quality ball game is not something that everyone is qualified to participate in. He will take every opportunity to learn and, most importantly, see how capable he is now.

Bryant's trainer acts as a referee and teams up for the players.

The "Bearded Generation" Byron Davis, George, Link, Anthony and Stoudemire team.

On the other side, Paul, Kobe, DeRozan, Durant and Love are on the first team.

This group is not random, Paul is "about to play" with Kobe, so he was placed in a group to try to feel it. On the other side, Anthony and Stoudemire are teammates, so it's the same thing to be in one group.

George and DeRozan are both high-potential youngsters, so take one aside. As for Durant and Link...... This is pure Kobe Bryant's bad taste.

Durant looked at Link, who had become stronger, and was a little unwilling. That guy seems to be working hard in the summer......

Link also stared at Durant, excited and nervous. Durant is getting tougher and tougher year by year, but having defeated Durant before, Link naturally doesn't want to be killed by Durant in the future.

The trainer blew the whistle, and Kobe Bryant's first team sent the ball directly to the bottom line. Since it is a training match, the jumping ball is exempted. The game started directly, and Link found Durant as soon as he went up!

However, in the first round of attack, Durant did not receive the ball. Bryant and Paul played a match, and finally Paul received the ball and broke through and threw a shot.

Defending Paul's "bearded generation" Byron. Davis was the leader of the "Golden State Gang" that year, and it can be said that he is one of the psychological shadows of the supergod Nowitzki this year.

However, this season, the 32-year-old Davis has been in a serious decline in form. He averaged only 12.8 points per game during the Clippers and 13.9 points per game after being traded to the Cavaliers. Both of these numbers are career lows after his rookie season.

Davis' physical decline was noticeable, but Paul came out of a devastating injury. He received a pass from Kobe Bryant and broke through Davis, which was not too easy.

On the court, Bryant and Paul gave a light high-five. It seems that they are full of hope for the future.

It's a pity that reality is often more fucked up than fantasy......

Switching offense and defense, this time switching to Link's first team to attack.

Like Durant, Link didn't receive the ball this time around. After all, they have a "big ball bully" Anthony.

Anthony doesn't like Link very much, as Link repeatedly caused him trouble last season and trash talk at him. So, he didn't have to worry about Link's feelings at all.

Anthony easily scored with his back to the back of DeRozan's defense, and Link shrugged his shoulders, all sympathetic to DeRozan. Anthony has a high desire to score today, and if DeRozan doesn't switch defenses with Kobe, his young mind could be hurt.

The game continued, and after a round of offense and defense, everyone who had rested for a long time found some feelings. Link found that there was nothing unaccustomed or uncomfortable about his body moving after gaining weight, which meant that he was adapting well and his training was paying off.

This time, Paul still gave the ball to Kobe. But "Uncle Snake", who is not a big deal, handed the ball to Durant, and it was time for the young people to perform!

The moment Durant received the ball, his eyes changed! Although this game was not watched by any fans, Durant didn't need to prove anything to others, he just proved it to himself!

Durant took a tentative step, Link adjusted his position in small steps, but before he could adjust it, Durant suddenly dribbled and broke through!

Link then took the ball out, and Durant's ball handling has always been a shortcoming. But this time, Durant's dribble wasn't interrupted. Seeing Link's shot, Durant directly held the ball with both hands and pulled out a jump shot!

Link, who steals the ball, has a downward focus, while Durant, who shoots, has an upward focus. This time, Link didn't have time to interfere. Durant made a shot before Link's interference came up, and the basketball then hollowed into the net!

"Beautiful!" Kobe couldn't help but shout, Durant's independent offensive ability is getting stronger and stronger!

"Damn!" Link wiped his sweat, and Durant's ball-handling offense really improved! This guy is already getting closer and closer to the level of insolvability.

A player who can win the scoring title before he reaches his full potential is really terrifying!

Seeing Durant score a goal, this side Byron. Davis handed the ball to Link as soon as half-time. Davis is not an unsympathetic player, and he knows that Link definitely needs a chance now!

In the face of Durant's defense, Link also tried to shake off the space with a tentative step first. However, Durant's long arms have been in front of Link's eyes, and he is not moved at all!

It seems that he is not only attacking, but also improving defensively!

Link then broke to the left, and then turned to the right the moment Durant followed!

Link is indeed not fast, but turning around requires more than just speed, but also superb footwork. And Link's offensive footsteps, but Kobe and Grant. The combination of Hill's two masters.

After turning around and getting rid of Durant, Link continued to break through, but Durant did not give up, but took two big steps up and slammed Link.

Last season, it usually worked well to defend Link's breakaways. Because Link's confrontation ability is average, if he encounters confrontation during the breakthrough process, there is a high probability that he will be forced to pass.

But this time, when Durant bumped into Link, he found himself as if he had been bounced out of the way!

Link seized the opportunity to throw a high board for a layup, avoided the double block of Love and Durant, and successfully scored!

"Haha, the effect is remarkable!" Link was secretly happy in his heart, and now he finally didn't fly as soon as he hit it!

1 to 1, Link and Durant don't give in to each other! Link has said that Durant will get better and better, but he will not stand still!

Now, he has also improved, so Durant still can't beat himself easily!

Kobe Bryant couldn't help but shake his head as he watched Durant and Link score points. This alliance may not be able to change owners in a few years.
