1024: The 28-year-old who is still improving
"Link, I lost..."
Jokic's voice was a little low on the phone.
He can fight with the Dream Team for the last second, can kill the Dream Team's three inside players with his own strength, and can get a data that is close to a triple-double.
Any other player would definitely be quite happy if he performed like this.
But Jokic was very depressed. In his opinion, he was not doing well enough today.
He should have won the game.
"It's okay, in everyone's heart, you have won." Link comforted Jokic, "Besides, you are different from others, and you still have a chance."
"After the Olympics, you can still compete with the guys from the Dream Team. And I believe that when you meet them again, you won't lose anymore. Be cheering up, your road is still long."
"Okay, Link."
"By the way, after I come back... After I come back, I will still give you three days to drink Coke freely."
Link hung up the phone with a smile. Did Jokic really lose?
Not necessarily.
Even Spain, another favorite to win the championship, may not be able to play with the Dream Team to this extent.
What's more, Jokic completely crushed his three counterparts in his personal performance.
Link promised that he wouldn't let Jokic lose again.
After the game, Link finally let go of his heart that had been hanging.
As long as other people who are participating in the competition can keep up, Link has nothing to worry about.
Next, all he had to do was do the work in the training camp.
After making a guest appearance as a commentator, Link returned to training camp again.
But before that, Jeff Austin reached an agreement with Kobe, and Link officially became the brand spokesperson for Kobe's sports drinks.
And in addition to the ordinary endorsement fee, Kobe also gave Link a 3% stake.
In other words, Link will be the spokesperson and boss in the future.
Once this news was announced, bodyarr immediately became the focus of public opinion.
There has been no one else who has tried the sports drink market before.
Coca-Cola has launched a powerade sports drink to compete with Gatorade. In order to promote powerade, Coca-Cola has taken great pains to not only sponsor the World Cup, but also signed James as the beverage spokesperson!
Unfortunately, the World Cup, Olympic Games and James' endorsement did not allow Powerade to break Gatorade's dominance.
But this time, people think that bodyarr's fate is likely to change.
After all, the appeal of Link and Kobe is almost immeasurable.
Link is very happy to have a new brand endorsement, but except for attending a press conference, Link has no longer been involved in endorsement.
Now, his focus is still on training.
As the days pass by day, the competitions on the Olympics are also being carried out step by step.
Serbia has made great progress after losing to the United States. Although it is the last place in the group to qualify, Serbia is unstoppable after entering the knockout stage.
In the quarter-finals, Serbia narrowly defeated the "brother team" Croatia by 3 points and successfully advanced.
In the semi-finals, Serbia even beat Australia to a very impressive score of 87 to 61.
As Green's teammate in the Warriors, Bogut was completely beaten by Jokic today and was completely destroyed at 360° without any blind spots!
The inside advantage they were proud of was completely wiped out in front of Jokic.
The rough seal of the Australians was completely resolved by Jokic's "softness".
In this way, Jokic led Serbia to the Olympic finals!
They will compete with the Dream Team for the gold medal!
At the beginning, Americans would never have thought that they would meet Serbia at this Olympics.
Jokic has undoubtedly become the most shining star in this Olympics.
Meanwhile, at Link Training Camp, another six-thirty morning, Link and Dinwiddie began a showdown outside the three-point line.
As usual, Link made 93 of 100 shots, and continued to keep his record of hitting no less than 90.
But today, Link was a little nervous after the bid.
Because at this time, Dinwiddie was also scoring consecutive goals!
In nearly a month, Dinwiddie's progress has been rapid.
Yesterday, he was only three goals away from defeating Link!
It can be seen that Dinwiddie tried his best to win once today!
He is very focused and every shot is very standard and stretched.
Link silently counted Dinwiddie's hits, and the sweat drips on his forehead became more and more.
“90…91…92…93…94!”
Dinwiddie's 100th shot still hit the target. And his hit number today is 94!
94 to 93, Dinwiddie finally beat Link once!
A defender who shot less than 20% of the three-point shooting percentage last season actually beat Link outside the three-point line today!
"yes!" The moment after the shot, Dinwiddie shouted excitedly and waved her fist.
It seems that he has been waiting for this day for a long time.
"Link, it's up to you to stay and practice shooting today, hahahahaha!"
Looking at Dinwiddie's excited look, Link smiled and shook his head, "You won, Spencer, you did a pretty job."
Link has never liked to lose, but today may be the happiest time he lost in his life.
Only when he loses is it just proves that the Grizzlies are racing on the right path!
That afternoon, Dinwiddie finally got off work on time for the first time.
Before leaving, he waved to Link, "Don't be lazy, boss!"
Brickley shook his head, "He may be the first player to dare to provoke you like this."
"Today, he has this qualification, Chris."
Link was really not lazy and was willing to accept the loss and practiced shooting.
But it's not 300, but 500.
Brickley has been with Link. What surprised him was that even when he shot to the end, Link's shooting percentage was still very scary.
Generally speaking, few players like those who are at the peak work harder than Link.
Young players will work hard to train to become mature, while older players will work hard to train to get closer to young.
Most players at the age of golden age can achieve twice the result with half the effort based on their physical capital alone.
But Link didn't, he was still as hard as he had just entered the league.
When Link made his 500th shot, he stayed in place and looked at his hands.
Brickley felt that Link's reaction was a little strange, so he stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong with Link? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"No, I'm fine, Chris." Link shook his head and smiled back to Link's face.
The reason why he suddenly stayed there just now is because he has upgraded again!
Indeed, 28 years old is the peak age of many players.
Jordan, 28, won the second championship in his career, laying a solid foundation for establishing a dynasty.
Kobe, 28, completed the miracle of 81 points in a single game.
Vince Carter, 28, started his second year of his Nets' career. He is still one of the best guards in the league, and the Nets are still a favorite to compete for the championship.
At the age of 28, a player has reached his peak in terms of personality, experience, body and skills.
But again, a player has basically been finalized when he was 28 years old.
What about after the age of 28? Most players' personal abilities will not only not improve, but will begin to gradually decline...
Especially after 30, countless stars have fallen in a state of cliff jumping.
But 28-year-old Link...
Chapter completed!
