617: Hit, must fight
The 24 minutes ended quickly, but everyone was tired and out of breath because the confrontation was so strong!
It's not as exaggerated as the playoffs, but the intensity is definitely at the regular season level. Everyone played very seriously, and that's exactly why they got together.
In the end, Link's first team defeated George first's team by 8 points and got off to a good start.
In 24 minutes, he can pull out 8 points, which is actually quite a difference.
After the game, the most depressed person was undoubtedly George. In the 24 minutes of the game, George made eight shots but only hit two goals. Of the two goals, George also had one ball on Harris's head.
Link's defense disappointed George, who was looking forward to the game.
"Damn, I shouldn't have been against you." As soon as the game was over, George complained.
"Hahaha, this is your choice, George." Link put his arm around George's shoulder, he was still looking like a "grim reaper" on the court just now, but as soon as the game was over, Link instantly became kind.
But no matter how kind Link is now, he can't make "Pickled Pepper" forget Link's performance on the court just now.
Although George is not yet a top scorer, he is sure that even Durant and James will not be able to take advantage of Link.
Tomorrow, we will continue to train 5-on-5 confrontationally. One per day from today until the end of the camp.
So this afternoon, George took the initiative to find Brickley, saying that he would not continue to play against Link tomorrow.
"Oh? Didn't you always want to play against Link? Brickley smiled, of course he saw George's improvement, but Link's progress was even faster!
"Forget it, at least let me find some confidence...... I've been practicing for so long, but it's not for the sake of torturing Link. George waved his hand, he really couldn't be provoked, so couldn't he hide?
"Haha, tomorrow, let's put Jimmy and Link in the opposite position. They are old teammates and often play against each other. Right? Jimmy? ”
With that, Brickley shifted his gaze to Butler. Butler had a good performance today, scoring seven points and shooting 3-of-3 from the field, continuing his excellent form in Summer League.
But as soon as he heard that he was going to play against Link, Butler suddenly had a black line on his face. It's just a good fight, and you're going back to before liberation......
"Damn, I don't eat people, I'm afraid of hair. Well, come tomorrow, Jimmy! Link, who had just come out of the process of changing clothes, joined the conversation.
Link grinned and patted Butler on the shoulder, but Butler was on the verge of crying.
Now, Link is already a well-deserved big demon in this training camp.
Brickley wondered if maybe it was time to find a stronger opponent for Link.

New York, 155th Street and Frederick. Just off Douglas Avenue lies a place of pride for New Yorkers – Rock Park.
Rock Park is not a simple place, but a representative of black culture, New York culture.
It is the temple of street basketball, where countless famous street players and even NBA stars have put on a show.
Tonight, Rock Park was on fire like never before. Everyone was cheering because on the pitch, a big tall man in an orange jersey scored again.
"Woo~~~~~ eighth three-pointer, this guy is crazy! Here, he is unbeatable! ”
The live DJ grabbed the microphone and yelled that there were no state-of-the-art facilities and no flashy lights.
But there are countless fans shouting on the sidelines, and there are people's most sincere love for basketball.
There are plenty of these games at Rock Park every week, but today it's more lively than ever. Because of this game, there was an "uninvited guest" in Rock Park, that is, a big man who had just made a three-point shot.
Just over 10 seconds later, the big man made a comeback.
Wearing an orange jersey, he grabbed the rebound and advanced all the way to the right beyond the three-point line. In the end, in the face of the defense of two people, he didn't even blink his eyes, and directly pulled out the jump shot!
Everyone held their breath and their eyes were fixed on the basketball. This time, however, there were no surprises.
The basketball didn't even touch the hoop, but went straight through the net! Three points again! Everyone on the sidelines rushed up and surrounded the big man!
66 points, personal score 66 points! Without a doubt, this is an incredible number at Rock Park. Even if he is an NBA star, he can score 66 points at Rock Park, which is quite remarkable.
LeBron. James, Kobe. Bryant, Stephen. Marbury, Vince. Carter, Kevin. Garnett...... Countless NBA stars have come to play at Rock Park, but no one has ever been as good as Durant is today!
Durant became the object of all the fans looking up to, and at Rock Park, people don't care where you're from or if you're a professional footballer. Only by showing can you win respect in Rock Park.
There is no doubt that Durant is now the most respected player.
"Well done, KD, 66 points, 9-of-11 three-pointers. Oh my God, you're crazy! If you continue to fight like this, there will be no one here to compete with you! So, for the next match, we have specially invited a strong opponent to play against you! Are you confident? KD! ”
The live DJ walked up to Durant and gave Durant an "interview" like a reporter on the sidelines of an NBA game.
"Am I confident? Hahaha, whoever comes here is waiting to be by me! Durant's speech drew cheers from the fans, and the people at Rock Park ate it.
"Don't you want to know who your opponent is?"
"I don't think you get what I mean, man. As I said, whoever comes here is waiting to be by me! ”
Durant is full of confidence, even if he finds the best street ball player in the country, Durant is not afraid. The gap between amateur and professional is not as simple as people think.
Amid the cheers of the fans, Durant left the court.
He had come to New York for business activities, and at the suggestion of his manager, he went to Rock Park to fight. Sure enough, this caused a huge repercussion.
Durant doesn't mind playing one more game because, to be honest, he's having a lot of fun too.
The live DJ watched Durant leave and shook his head secretly. Although Durant's performance today was very explosive, Durant will definitely be taken aback when that "special opponent" arrives!
Locke Park is never that simple.

"Rock Park? It's boring, I don't like to play wild ball. ”
At the beginning of August, after all the training at the boot camp, Link was quite resistant when he found out that he had a stop at Rock Park on his business agenda.
It's okay to go to Rock Park and soak up the atmosphere, but playing against those wild ball players? Link is really not interested.
"Are you sure? This itinerary, but your trainer Brickley specifically suggested that I add it to you. He also said that if you have just completed the special training, you will definitely be interested in this stop. "Jeff. Austin spread his hands on the other end of the phone.
"Really? Did he tell you why I was interested there? ”
"Because Brickley says you need a strong opponent right now to put your training to the test."
"Poof," Link almost couldn't hold back a laugh, "a strong opponent, in Rock Park, in the Wild Field?" I know they're all great streetball players, but that kind of strength is not the same as the power we think of. ”
"Well, if Rock Park has Kevin. What about Durant? In the last game, he scored 66 points at Rock Park and threatened to beat any opponent, no matter who it was. "Austin didn't go around in circles with Link anymore, and Link wanted a stronger opponent than his training partner? Rock Park has.
"Fight, must fight!" Link replied without hesitation, and his attitude changed 180°.
Austin laughed, Kevin. Durant, just wait to be taken aback.
Perhaps, this is called the narrow road of the enemy.
