621: Are they all from the Link family?
Link, your body is very tired. It’s obviously the offseason, what have you done? You’ll just do some restorative training these two days. Don’t do high-intensity training, and don’t practice more yourself.”
On September 29, the day after the start of the NBA new season training camp.
Link was lying in the therapy room and was receiving a massage from Saito to relax his muscles.
It has been two days since the training camp started, but Link is basically still doing restorative training. Because Seto believes that Link's muscles are too tired. If you don't relax for a while and go directly to the tense game, you will easily get injured.
After discussing with the Grizzlies' chief team doctor and new head coach Dave Jogel, Saito decided to give Link a short rest for a week.
This week, Link will not participate in high-intensity training, mainly focusing on recovery. After a week, everything will return to normal.
Link finally waited until the pre-season training camp began, but it was more leisurely than during the holidays.
However, when thinking about Saito's professionalism, Link did it.
Derek Rose, Greg Oden, Brandon Roy, players who should have had a good future but fell early due to improper physical protection are living examples.
Ross had problems with his playing style, but he also encountered the main maniac of Thibodeau. Odd and Roy were hard to describe. The Trail Blazers' "veterinary team" was not for nothing.
Now, there was a person next to Link who knew how to protect his body, and Link should feel glad. Therefore, Link happily accepted the arrangement.
"Judy, why is your Chinese so good? As far as I know, you were born in the United States." When doing physical therapy, Link always talked to Judy about anything.
"You are also good at Chinese."
"That's because my parents have taught me Chinese since I was a child." Link curled his lips. He couldn't say that my soul is actually a native Chinese.
"My parents also taught me Chinese since I was a child. My father is a consultant at the Luosheng Chinese Association. Do you think I can speak Chinese? In fact, I have been to China several times. Sometimes I went to myself, and sometimes I went with Kobe. Once when I went to China with Kobe, the hotel security guard thought I was a middle-aged fan of Kobe and wanted to get in. In the end, I showed my work ID before I was put in."
Link and Judy are always very relaxed when they are together. Judy is very talkative, but she doesn’t talk too much. If you have to use one word to describe it, it is kindness.
She is really as enthusiastic and kind as most educated Chinese aunties, but not overly enthusiastic.
"Judy, you have worked with Kobe for more than ten years. What do you think is the key to his success?"
"A spirit of perseverance? Everyone has different ways of success, Link. Why do you ask this? You are already a FMVP and a championship. Are you not successful yet?"
"Hahaha, this is just the beginning of success, Judy. How can a championship be enough?"
Link said, closing his eyes and enjoying Judy's massage. For a few seconds, Judy felt as if she had returned to Staples Center and back to the Lakers' physiotherapy room.
Judy has heard this kind of similar words in Kobe's mouth more than once.
She didn't know why Kobe was successful, but Judy really found a lot of common ground in Link and Kobe.
Do you want to assist another dynasty athlete? Judy doesn't know if she can be so lucky.

The long holiday is finally coming to an end, and all teams have begun to show off their team's daily training photos on social media.
For most stars, this is the beginning of their "painful" lives. But for the Grizzlies, this is the moment they are most looking forward to.
Gasol, who just got married, tries to get rid of his fat body in the gym every day. Zach Randolph finally can laugh at others as fat as a ball this year.
Quinn Snyder is working on tactics with Dave Joggle every day. Before the new season begins, they must enrich the contents of the Grizzlies' tactical board.
The new Mike Miller brought small gifts to each teammate. As an old fry who has been in the league for many years, Miller knows very well how to get along with his teammates.
Delavidova won the draft every day during training, and the training ground will be overwhelmed. One loses the draft or an Australian loser. Naturally, his style will not be too gentle.
The new and old members of the defending champion are preparing for their difficult road to defend the title, and other teams are also working towards their goals.
Soon, in early October, the NBA preseason started. After a crazy summer, the teams finally made their debut in the game.
The Grizzlies also have preseason games to play, but Link did not play in the first three preseason games.
He didn't even wear a jersey, and sat on the sidelines in every game in a suit, and was captured like a model.
The biggest function of the preseason for the players is to regain their form, and the biggest function for the coach is to run in the new lineup.
But Link, in Judy Saito's words, "When he beat Kevin Durant in Rock Park, he was already over-bearing. What he needs now is rest because he has nothing to get back."
So, Link rested in the first five games of the preseason. For the Grizzlies, this is the safest approach.
There are common examples of team stars being injured in preseason games, and the Grizzlies don't want to suffer this blood loss.
The preseason is actually not as easy as the regular season, because the schedule is also intensive, and in addition to playing in the United States, there are also foreign games. This year, due to Link's connection, the Grizzlies have Chinese games to play.
People suspected that if it weren't for the Chinese match, Dave Joggel would probably have kept Link until the start of the regular season.
Although Link has not played in the past few days, his name still appears on the front page headlines.
The reason is that many stars have a close relationship with Link.
After three games in the Raptors' warm-up game, Demar DeRozan averaged 25.7 points per game and his three-point shooting percentage increased to 32%, which made a huge improvement compared to last season!
On the Kings' side, Cousins averaged 20+10 per game in three games. And Isaiah Thomas, who was not very famous last season, actually scored an astonishing 20.8 points in three games!
Paul George, the Pacers' new leader, performed well, scoring 33 points, 32 points and 29 points in three games, and has become a superstar.
On the Trail Blazers, Damien Lillard and Lamarcus Aldridge led the team to a three-game winning streak. Lillard and Aldridge's performance has made great progress compared to last season.
Most of these outstanding players, most of them are not in the same team, do not play in the same position, and are at a constant age stage, which can be said to be different.
But they all have one thing in common, that is, they have trained at Link’s training camp this summer!
Once this news was exposed, Link, who sat on the sidelines and waved towels every day, became inexplicably popular.
“How scary is Link’s bootcamp?”
"The training camp members all showed excellent performances. How did Link train them?"
"If his training partners have become so powerful, how much will Link improve himself?"
He was also shot in a suit and watched the football. Link said he was innocent.
As for how powerful he is, this is something Link is desperate to know now. After the upgrade, he has not officially played the ball.
