Link's trip to China went very smoothly, and he made a lot of money while gaining a wave of fans. Of course, it also allowed Link to enjoy a lot of Chinese food that he had been away from for a long time.

At the end of July, all of Link's business activities came to an end. While players were not paid during the NBA shutdown, Link found himself making a lot of money from business activities alone. Although managers have higher commissions in business activities, Jeff Austin is not a "vampire" after all, he understands what it means to be long-term, so there will be no situation of squeezing Link.

After returning to the United States at the end of July, Link spent a few days with his parents. My father's gardening company is running very smoothly, and he has connections and skills, so he can do this business very easily.

Later, Link got together with former Blue coach Conor and teammate Brockman. Brockman also returned to the NBA a few games last season, but it didn't go well, and he still couldn't find the rhythm of playing in the NBA.

So this time they met, and Link recommended Brockman to play in BA. There, at least, Brockman's core interior play is more likely to be successful.

After these two meetings, the time has come to July 7. Link looked at his belly, which was already slightly erect, and knew he couldn't indulge like this anymore. Although Link keeps training every day, after all, the amount of training is not large, and he inevitably gains a little weight.

It would be terrible if it ended up being out of shape.

It seems that it is time to arrange real training.

"Link, I'm in Spain now! That's right, I'm with your good brother Marc Gasol. I've already arranged the trainer's affairs for you. As long as you are ready, you can contact him 24 hours a day! ”

When Link called to inquire about Jeff Austin's trainer, his manager was in Spain. Of course, Austin is not going on vacation, but because Mark Gasol is also one of Jeff Austin's clients.

"Contact him 24 hours? Who are you looking for? Link became curious, as the trainer was the behind-the-scenes figure, there were not many opportunities to be exposed in front of the public. So, Link also knew those trainers too well.

is slightly more famous, is the veteran Ganon Baker, who has served as a trainer for James, Kobe, and Durant.

Ganon Baker is perhaps the most commercially successful basketball trainer, and since he entered the professional trainer circle in 2001, Baker's teaching videos have been popular on major websites for many years, and 72 basketball instructional DVDs have been exported to the world. Even in China, you can find a bunch of Ganon Baker's basketball instructional videos.

Every year, Ganon Baker receives countless call appointments from NAA college coaches, and Nike bootcamps invite him year after year to polish the edges of talented high school students.

From NBA players to college to middle school kids, Ganon Baker has a wide range of businesses. He always goes out of his way to make his employers better.

However, Link thought about it, such a big-name trainer should not be able to spend an entire summer with him.

"Your trainer is Chris Bridgeley, who played at the University of Louisville for two years and became the youngest assistant coach in the NAA Division I after graduating. Now, I'm transitioning to being a trainer. He is very young, only 2 years old this year. Don't be fooled by his youthful face, though. Trust me, he's the best trainer I can find for you. ”

After listening to Jeff Austin, Link smiled with satisfaction. He doesn't know many trainers, except for the famous Ganon Baker, Chris Brickley is another super trainer who will become popular all over the United States in the future, so popular that even Link, a fan, knows!

However, now, before Brickley became completely popular, Link seems to have dug up his "treasure" first.

※※※

In the summer of 2016, reporters photographed superstars such as James, Paul, Harden, Durant and Anthony in the same basketball arena in New York.

Amid the fans' cries of "fairy play", someone found a young man who was not very strong, full of tattoos on his arms, was teaming up for these stars and filming them to record their training status.

Later, this handsome trainer immediately became popular on the Internet, and people also found that most of the stars' training photos have such a person. As a result, he quickly became popular in basketball circles, and fans also knew the name of this handsome trainer for the first time - Chris Bridgeley.

Link also knew that there was such a person as Brickley at that time, but at this moment, he knew this trainer 5 years earlier than before!

Unlike Ganon Baker, Baker himself seems to be mature and stable, and his teaching style is quite academic. As a result, Baker looks more like a college professor.

And Brickley's handsome young face and the tattoos that are not inferior to NBA stars make him look more like a brother or friend of the players.

Link doesn't know what Brickley is capable of, but to be able to win the favor of so many big-name stars, Brickley certainly doesn't rely on being handsome.

After getting a reply from Jeff Austin and a phone call from Brickley, Link set off for Los Angeles. Brickley had already set up a training ground for Link there, just waiting for him to arrive.

But sitting on the plane to Los Angeles, Link's mind was full of Jeff Austin's words - contact him 24 hours a day.

Can it really be?

Los Angeles, it's definitely the favorite place for NBA players to come every summer offseason.

Here, you can start your own business and enjoy the California sun on Manhattan's luxurious beaches. Of course, you can also improve your basketball skills here.

Since the time of "Magic" Johnson, he has invited his friends to Los Angeles to practice and play, and rookies, U-players, NBA players and famous street players will respond to the call, which is considered the prototype of summer league. Of course, there has also been a wave of participation in summer training camps across the league.

As Los Angeles enters summer, training camp is at its hottest. There are so many training venues here, from the U Athletics Field, to the Rooyon Gorge. From Sanddden Park in Manhattan Beach, to Venice Beach.

There are state-of-the-art training facilities, breakfast, swimming pool, video equipment, Gatorade machines, everything you need here.

Of course, there is no shortage of big-name trainers in Los Angeles. Trainers here typically train three to four NBA star players a day. It's possible that Blake Griffin had just finished training in the morning, and in the afternoon, Derrick Rose came to the same person to start his own personal training.

This is Los Angeles, and it's a place that comes alive every summer.

Chris Bridgeley was a little nervous, after all, it was the first time he had taken on this kind of full escort training. Moreover, his client is still Link!

Brickley knows Link, to be exact, no one who doesn't know Link as long as you follow basketball these days. His feats of guarding the scoring title, blowing up Jefferson, and forcing the Mavericks to almost roll over made him famous.

A draft loss, such a good performance in his rookie season. People are also looking forward to seeing how far Link can improve.

So, for Brickley, it's an opportunity to earn fame. If Link is trained well, he believes he will be known by most people in the basketball circle. But if Link doesn't make any progress after a summer, Brickley's reputation will suffer.

He has been making a detailed training plan for Link these days, from body modification to technical upgrades, Brick used his patience and professional skills to tailor the most efficient training method for Link.

Now, according to Jeff Austin, he just has to wait for Link to call and get to work.

However, after waiting for a day, Brickley didn't receive a call from Link. He didn't receive a call until twelve o'clock in the evening, when Brickley was so sleepy that he went to bed.

The trainer thought to himself that Link, who had just arrived in Los Angeles, might go for a few days first. After all, it's a young player, and Los Angeles is the place with no shortage of entertainment. And just like that, Brickley fell asleep.

It wasn't until three o'clock in the morning that Brickley's phone rang without warning. He got out of bed and looked at the caller ID, it was Link!

"Hello Chris, I'm Link. I think training starts at five o'clock, and by the way, it's not five in the afternoon, it's five in the morning two hours later, no problem, right? Link deliberately chose this time because he had experienced how effective training was in the early hours of the morning.

However, in order to test whether Brickley was ready, Link deliberately did not give advance notice. Training this summer is crucial for Link, and he can't afford to leave himself to a casual trainer who just wants to make some money.

"I'll be there on time, Link!" Brickley replied without hesitation, causing Link to nod in relief.

It seems that this guy will be able to become popular in the United States in the future, not for no reason.
