Link's trip to China went very smoothly, and he attracted a lot of fans while making a fortune. Of course, it also allowed Link to enjoy many Chinese delicacies that he had been away from for a long time.
At the end of July, all Link's business activities ended. Although players were not paid during the NBA suspension, Link found that he could make a lot of money by relying on business activities alone. Although the manager's commission in business activities was higher, Jeff Austin was not a "vampire" after all. He understood what long-term development means, so there would be no situation of exploiting Link.
After returning to the United States at the end of July, Link stayed with his parents for a few days. His father's gardener company was running very smoothly. He had connections and skills, so he was able to do this job.
Later, Link got together with former Blues coach Connor and teammate Brockman. Brockman also returned to the NBA for several games last season, but it was very difficult and he still couldn't find the rhythm of playing in the NBA.
So this time, Link recommended Brockman to play in Baba. At least there, Brockman's core inside style is easier to succeed.
After these two meetings, it was July 7. Link looked at his slightly raised belly and knew that he could not indulge in this way. Although Link kept training every day, the amount of training was not large after all, and he inevitably gained a little weight.
If the body shape is distorted, it would be bad.
It seems that it's time to arrange real training.

"Link, I'm in Spain now! That's right, I'm with your good brother Marc Gasol. I've arranged the trainer's affairs for you. As long as you're ready, you can contact him 24 hours a day!"
When Link called to ask about Jeff Austin’s trainer, his manager was in Spain. Of course, Austin was not on vacation, but because Marc Gasol was also one of Jeff Austin’s clients.
"Contact him 24 hours a day? Who are you looking for?" Link became curious. As the person behind the scenes, the trainer had few opportunities to expose him in front of the public. Therefore, Link knew those trainers too much.
A little more famous is Cannon Baker, a veteran of James, Kobe, and Durant trainer.
Cannon Baker is perhaps the most successful basketball trainer in commercialization. Since entering the circle of professional trainers in 2001, Baker's teaching videos have been popular on major websites for many years, and 72 basketball teaching DVDs are sold all over the world. Even in China, you can find a bunch of Cannon Baker's basketball teaching videos.
Every year, Cannon Baker receives countless appointment calls from Naa University coaches, and Nike training camp invites him to polish the edges and corners of talented high school students year after year.
From NBA players to children in college to middle school, Ganonbeck has a wide range of business. He always spares no effort to make his employers better.
However, Link thought again, such a big-name trainer should not be able to spend the whole summer with him.
"Your trainer is called Chris Brickley. He played for two years at the University of Louisville. After graduation, he became the youngest assistant coach in the Naa Division 1 League. Now, he has been transformed into a trainer. He is very young and only 2 years old this year. But don't be fooled by his young face. Believe me, he is the best trainer I can find for you and the best."
After hearing Jeff Austin say this, Link showed a satisfied smile. He didn't know many trainers. In addition to the famous Cannon Baker, Chris Brickley is another super trainer who will be 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 seemed to have dug up his "treasure".

In the summer of 2016, reporters photographed superstars such as James, Paul, Harden, Durant and Anthony appearing in the same basketball hall in New York.
Amid the fans' calls for "gods playing basketball", someone found that a young man with a not-strong body, full of tattoos on his arms, was teaming up for these stars and filming and recording their training status.
Later, this handsome trainer became popular on the Internet, and people also found that most of the stars had such a person in the training photos. So he quickly became famous in the basketball circle, and fans also learned the name of the handsome trainer Chris Brickley for the first time.
Link knew that there was a person like Brickley at that time, but at this moment, he met this trainer five years earlier than before!
Unlike Cannon Baker, Baker himself looks mature and steady, and his teaching style is quite academic. Therefore, Baker looks more like a university professor.
Brickley's handsome young face and his tattoos that are not inferior to NBA stars make him look more like the players' brothers or friends.
Link didn't know what Brickley had, but to be favored by so many big-name stars, Brickley must be relying on not being as handsome as she is.
After receiving Jeff Austin's reply and Brickley's call, Link set off for Los Angeles. Brickley had arranged a training ground for Link there and was waiting for him to come.
However, sitting on the plane to Los Angeles, Link was full of Jeff Austin's words and contacted him 24 hours a day.
Is it really possible?

Los Angeles, this is definitely the favorite place for NBA players to come every summer offseason.
Here, you can start your own business activities and enjoy the California sunshine on the luxurious beaches of Manhattan. Of course, you can also improve your basketball skills here.
Since the era of "Magic" Johnson, he would invite his friends to come to Los Angeles to train and play games. Rookies, U players, NBA players and famous street players will respond to the call, which is considered to be the prototype of the summer league. Of course, it has also set off a trend of participating in summer training camps in the entire league.
When Los Angeles enters summer, the training camps are at their hottest time. There are too many training grounds here, from U-Sports Field, to Rooneyon Canyon, from Sand Dunn Park in Manhattan Beach, to Venice Beach.
Here are the top training facilities, breakfast, swimming pool, video equipment, and Gatorade machines. There are everything here.
Of course, the most unabashed thing in Los Angeles is big-name trainers. Trainers here usually train three to four NBA star players a day. It is possible that Blake Griffin just finished training in the morning, and in the afternoon, Derek Rose came to the same person to start his own private training.
This is Los Angeles, and every summer, it is extremely lively.
Chris Brickley was a little nervous. After all, this was his first time to take on such a full-time escort training. Moreover, his client was Link!
Brickley knew Link. To be precise, as long as he was concerned about basketball, there was no one who didn't know Link. He defended the scoring king, beat Jefferson, and forced the Mavericks to almost turn the game. He made him famous.
A rookie performance was so good in a rookie season. People are also looking forward to it and want to see how much progress Link can make.
Therefore, it is a chance to gain fame for Brickley. If Link is trained well, he believes he will be well-known to most people in the basketball circle. But if Link does not make any progress after a summer, Brickley's reputation will also be affected.
He has been developing a detailed training plan for Link over the past few days. From body shape transformation 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 can start working just by waiting for Link to call.
However, after waiting for a day, Brickley did not receive a call from Link. Until twelve o'clock in the evening, Brickley was so sleepy that he went to bed, he did not receive the call.
The trainer thought to himself that Link, who had just arrived in Los Angeles, might go and have a few days off first. After all, he is a young player, and Los Angeles is the most inexpensive place. In this way, Brickley fell asleep.
Until three o'clock in the morning, Brickley's phone rang without warning. He got up and saw that it was Link!
"Hello Chris, I'm Link. I want to start training at five o'clock. By the way, it's not five o'clock in the afternoon, but five o'clock in the morning two hours later, is it okay?" Link deliberately chose this time because he had experienced how good the effect of training in the early morning was.
However, in order to test whether Brickley is ready, Link deliberately did not notify in advance. This summer's training is crucial for Link, and he cannot hand himself over to a casual trainer who just wants to make some money.
"I will arrive on time, Link!" Brickley answered without hesitation, making Link nodded with relief.
Chapter completed!
