It's a long-standing tradition that Dream Team likes to find young players to play in-house practice games.

After all, young players have to work hard and want to win any game, so that they can achieve the best training results.

One of the most famous rumors is that in 1992, the dream team with Jordan, "Magic", Bird and other god-level stars lost to Grant in an internal training match. Hill, Chris. The college student team led by Webb and others.

The title of "the man who has defeated Jordan and the Dream Team" also made Hill an instant hit.

Although until now, the authenticity of this matter has been debatable, and there are different opinions. But the truth is that a team of young people is indeed more likely to cause problems for the invincible dream team.

Against this backdrop, Link and his companions eventually arrived in Manchester, the second largest modern metropolis in the UK.

"I can't believe we're here for basketball." Cousins complained as soon as he got off the plane because he noticed that the airport was full of football-related advertisements and posters.

A group of basketball players came to the world of football, which made them feel a little out of place.

England itself is a country of football and the birthplace of modern football. And Manchester is a city born for football. Football is already an important part of Manchester's culture.

Greater Manchester has the highest number of football clubs in the world, while Manchester's two most famous clubs, Manchester United and Manchester City, are world-renowned.

Old Trafford, Manchester United's home stadium, is currently the second-largest football stadium in England, behind Wembley Stadium with 90,000 seats.

This shows the high status of football in the city. By comparison, Manchester's home stadium of the Giants, Manchester's local professional basketball team, seems to be able to accommodate less than 2,000 spectators......

Therefore, Cousins sighed, "I didn't expect us to come to Manchester for basketball."

It's as absurd as if you're rushing to climb a snow-capped mountain to Dubai, a desert-filled city.

"yes, no one is going to come to Manchester for basketball. But who would have thought that the most terrible basketball team in the world would be in Manchester at this time? Let's go, DeMarcus, didn't you say you were going to take the whole game? There's no turning back now. Link smiled, it was his first time in the UK.

Of course, the most exciting thing is not to come to the UK, but to play against the Dream Team!

After receiving a call from Kobe Bryant a few days ago, Link immediately discussed with the manager and his companions. In the end, everyone unanimously decided to go to the dream team!

After confirming the matter with Kobe Bryant on the phone, Link and his party also officially received an invitation letter from the U.S. national basketball team, which was quite serious.

It's unplanned, but it's not everyone who has the opportunity to play against a team of this caliber in the offseason. And it's also annoying to be bored in Los Angeles every day, everyone wants to go out and feel the enthusiasm of the Olympics.

In this way, Link, Jeremy Lin, George, Cousins and Butler, as well as several trainers, including Brickley, arrived on Manchester soil.

There were only five players in this group, but because it was an internal training match, it was not a regular game. Basically, they play 20 minutes in a round, and Link only has to play with the American team for two days, which is considered to be the completion of the task.

Therefore, 5 people are enough, and there is no need for substitutes.

As soon as they got off the plane, Link and the others were entertained by the staff of the U.S. basketball team. The car picks up and delivers, arranges to eat, drink, and sleep. Although it is not an official team, Link still enjoys the treatment at the national team level.

The only pity is that Link and the others will not be able to move freely in Manchester for the time being. After arranging accommodation and taking a nap, Link was about to start their work. If you want to play in Manchester, you will have to wait until these two days have passed.

In the afternoon, Link and his party walked into the training hall of the Dream Team. Suddenly, there was a commotion in the training hall!

"It's finally here, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Bryant was the first to go up and hug Link, and then saluted the others one by one.

"Thank you so much for coming, and thank you for taking the time to accept our invitation." Subsequently, the coach of the American team, "Old K" Mike. Shashefsky also walked up and kindly shook hands with Link and his party.

Link: They are not a sparring team after all, they are not part of the American basketball team, they are invited. Therefore, Lao K also expressed his gratitude to them.

At the beginning, the reason why Lao K asked Kobe to call Link was because he thought that Kobe and Link were more familiar and easy to talk to. Old K knew that if he called in person, people might not come.

After Link shook hands with Kobe Bryant and Coach K, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine. When I turned my head to look over, I saw those deep eyes.

Belly Black Du!

Damn, it's really a narrow road, you can meet him anywhere!

Durant was also speechless, if he didn't have a say in the national team, he would definitely try his best to prevent the team from inviting Link to play.

"Alright, get ready, let's start a practice match. You play in groups of five for only 20 minutes. Rest assured, it won't wear out your physical strength too much. ”

After Lao K finished explaining, the two sides began to warm up. On the side of the Dream Ten team, all of them wore uniform national team jerseys.

Link, on the other hand, basically wears his own vest. Butler brought the Grizzlies' training uniform, and Link wore a regular black vest. The most bizarre thing is Cousins, who has a pink vest and purple pants...... Don't be too sassy.

Link, they looked like a rabble. But everyone present knew that those five young people were not easy to mess with.

During the warm-up, Link also looked around the arena. I have to say that the lineup of the Dream Ten team is really luxurious, and other countries want to cry when they see it.

Offensive kaleidoscope Cameron. Anthony, "Black Mamba" Kobe. Bryant, last season's Defensive Player of the Year, Tyson. Chandler, three-time scoring champion Kevin. Durant, last season's NBA Sixth Man of the Year James Murphy. Harden, the most powerful point guard Russell. Westbrook.

In addition to this, there is also the "little AI" Andrey. Andre Iguodala, LeBron who dreams of winning an NBA championship. James, two pairs of machines Kevin. Lefou, the strongest on the surface 183 Chris. Paul, rhythm maestro Delon. Williams and Anthony Brown, who was drafted as the top pick this year, are the first to be drafted. Davis.

This fairy lineup is indeed strong, and throughout the summer, I can't find a game with a higher level than this!

Ordinary people must have weak legs when they see such a lineup, but Link and his partners are extremely excited!

"Just like last year's All-Star Game, we're going to have to make a splash!" Cousins kept muttering in Link's ear as he warmed up.

"I wish the game could start soon, I'm so excited!" Jeremy Lin is also eager to try, and after being out in the middle of last season, Lin has been hungry for high-level confrontation.

And what about Link? Naturally, he is looking forward to the next games. can reunite with the Thunder Sanshao in this kind of game, Link is naturally full of energy!

On the side of the Dream Ten team, Lao K is lining up the list for this internal training match. Those who do not have a competition will continue to practice specially.

The old K mainly wanted young players to practice their hands, so he went to Harden, Westbrook, and Anthony. Two veterans, Davis, Gaiguodala and Anthony, stabilized the situation. Although it is not a full main lineup, the strength is scary enough.

Durant was annoyed, and he wanted to play too. But there is no way, everything has to listen to Lao K. The only way to solve Link's affairs is to look at his two Thunder teammates.

After the warm-up, Link and his teammates stood in front of the Luxurious Earth Dream Ten Team with no fear!

Lao K smiled, although Link and their strength are strong, he thinks that the two teams are still not comparable.

It's also great to have self-confidence while having confrontation. Directly abusing an opponent who is too weak will not have the effect of finding self-confidence.

The referee's whistle blows and throws the basketball into the air. This fierce battle without an audience has officially begun.
