After the open training before the All-Star Game on the 16th, a video of Link and Irving heads-up on the training court was put on the Internet and went viral.

People have the impression that Owen should be a one-man player. He's going to take Link away with that fancy dribbling, as if it shouldn't be too difficult. However, what people saw on the Internet was Link's pegboard hat against Irving, and a series of easy scoring after that No. 0 striker.

After the video was uploaded by major reporters, the heat even overshadowed the individual competition to be held tonight. Every narrator and guest was talking about Link's heads-up with Irving.

So much so that when I was attending a business event in the afternoon, someone asked Link, "Won Kelly in heads-up. Owen, how does it feel? ”

"We're just joking, otherwise the pre-game training would have been boring. Kelly is a very good player and his attacking style is gorgeous. If it was in an official game, he would have done better. ”

Link was very kind in front of the camera, did not take the opportunity to mock Owen, and did not talk a lot, which was enough to give Owen face.

After all, Link and Owen have no grievances, and one is in the east and the other is in the west, and they are not direct competitors. Therefore, Link did not "kill everything" against Owen.

It's Durant who is going to win, and the media is expected to be able to enjoy the performance of Link and Durant's argument in the air today.

Although on the surface, Link always uses "entertainment" to advertise this heads-up. But in fact, what Owen went through, he knows best.

Amusement? Have you ever seen entertainment that almost broke down?

So at the three-point contest that night, Irving was extremely focused. He knew that this was his only chance to save face.

In the end, Irving shined in the three-point contest. In the final, he defeated the "Red Mamba" Bonner from the Spurs by three points to win the three-point contest. It also proves to the world that he is not the kind of player who can only play tricks. His flamboyance on the basketball court is not flashy.

It wasn't until the moment Irving lifted the three-point contest trophy that he finally breathed a sigh of relief. At the very least, this three-point contest winner will keep this All-Star weekend from being full of bad memories.

At the same time, Link, who had created nightmares for Owen, was playing around with Rachel in Houston.

Link, who was screaming with Rachel in the amusement park, wouldn't know that his image in the league had become more terrifying because of the merciless defeat of Owen.

A generation of veterans and newcomers are afraid of the big demon king of three points, and this is the birth.

"Damn, why are you back again?" In the evening, Randolph, who was playing a game, spread out his hands as Link opened the door and walked into the room again.

Link gave Randolph a blank look, as long as he came back these days, Randolph would ask this on purpose. Because in Randolph's concept, a date that has to come back alone in the evening is not called a date.

"Where will I live if I don't come back, at the entrance of the Toyota Center?"

"Rachel's room, of course, and she didn't invite you up for a coffee?" Randolph had a smirk on his face, completely devoid of the serious look he had a month ago in order to be selected as an All-Star.

Now Randolph has become an out-and-out comic again.

"You know you drink coffee all day, and tomorrow night it's an All-Star Game. Zach, how are you preparing? ”

"Cut, do you need to prepare? I'm not the protagonist anyway. Come play an NBA2K game with me, and see, since I was selected as an All-Star, my stats have all become 83, hahahaha. Randolph motioned for Link to sit down, and Link was bored, so he simply picked up the handle and played a game with Randolph.

"I don't know what will happen to the league before the trade deadline. Have you heard? The Eagles are now specifically trying to shoot Josh. Smith. Because of that guy's contract extension with the Eagles, it didn't seem to be very pleasant. And Dwight. Howard, who struggled with the Lakers this season, will most likely not stay this summer. I don't know if the Lakers can sell him before the trade deadline. Also, I heard that the Celts are already trying to move Pierce and Garnett. Damn Danny. Anji, what a cold-blooded guy, the player can be thrown out when he is useless. ”

While playing the game, Randolph chatted with Link about the recent trade rumors. Every February, in addition to the All-Star Game, the most talked about by fans is the NBA's mid-term trade.

Player trading is always a hot topic in the NBA. After all, with the addition of reporters, the departure and stay of every player is as exciting as a high-scoring suspense movie.

"I don't really care about that, after all, we don't seem to have any plans for a medium-term deal this year. As for Howard, there is a high probability that he will not be taken over. Howard's contract expires this summer, and if he can sign directly, who will move the chips? Josh. It's the same thing with Smith, he and Howard will basically stay on the team. Link pouted, as someone who had seen all the trades over the years, he had no interest in this kind of non-suspenseful thing.

"Who says we don't have a trading plan? I've heard that Darrell. Between Arthur and Speight, there may be someone to leave. Randolph mysteriously leaned close to Link's ear, as if there was a third person in the room.

"You've heard a lot, Zach, but none of them are reliable. You say they're leaving, so where are they going? Who to change? We're number one in the league, man, and we don't need reinforcements in a lot of positions. ”

"Of course there is, it's the Spets and Arthur positions that have been strengthened. Management wanted to strengthen the No. 4 position, but Arthur's performance after a ruptured Achilles tendon last season was not very good, and his athleticism was not half as good as before. That guy Speights has been getting fatter and fatter lately...... I mean, he's got a lot of ups and downs. Randolph was talking about it, and in the game, Speights came on to replace him.

"Okay, so who are we going to get?" Link didn't pay much attention to the trade, and he really didn't know that there were rumors about the Grizzlies.

"Uh...... What's that kid's name? I don't know him. It's like it's called, Tobotson. Harris? It's called Harris anyway. ”

Link shook his head, Randolph's news was really unreliable. Torbosen. Harris, is there such a number one player in the league? Even if there were, this kind of player who had never heard of it was not necessarily better than Speights and Arthur.

Link kept repeating the funny name in his mind, but the more he repeated it, the more Link felt that the name became more palatable.

Just as Randolph was about to control Link's dunk, the game's pause menu popped up on the TV.

", Link, what are you doing? You're the one who wants to dunk! When he was about to dunk, he was called a timeout, and Randolph almost smashed the handle.

Link didn't pay attention to Randolph's yelling, but looked at Randolph with wide eyes, "The Harris you just said couldn't be called Tobias. Harris, right? The same Tobias who now plays for the Milwaukee Bucks. Harris? The Grizzlies want to trade him for it? ”

Randolph didn't know why Link was so surprised, or why he was suddenly interested in the rumor again.

The big black bear just shrugged his shoulders and replied lightly, "Maybe, maybe that's the name." ”
