The streets of Los Angeles, which are past four in the morning, are quiet, empty, and have no temptation, allowing people to stay focused.

When Link was training with Kobe for the first time, he might have been beaten to death, but he never thought that he had become a "quirk" like training in the early morning.

He was sitting in a taxi, his mind full of what Nowitzki was invincible this year's playoffs. Who doesn't want to be an invincible player? Link also hopes that he can play to the height of Nowitzki as soon as possible.

As long as you can fill up the little white strips as soon as possible and work hard to improve yourself, Link believes that he can definitely become a superstar!

The taxi drove for a long time because the training hall was not in downtown Los Angeles. In order to maintain its secrecy, to avoid being disturbed by reporters and fans, and to keep Link focused, Brickley found such a place.

There were fewer and fewer tall buildings outside the car windows, and fewer houses. It was not until a hill that the taxi driver finally stopped the vehicle.

Link looked out and saw that there was indeed a gymnasium on the top of the mountain. God knows, which genius thought of building a gymnasium in this place. But it is undeniable that this is indeed a good place. After getting off the bus, you can look into the city and see the beautiful street view of Los Angeles in the middle of the morning.

Link didn't have time to enjoy the beautiful scenery, so he rushed to the entrance of the training hall, but found that a young white man was already waiting for him. If Link did not admit his mistake, he would be his personal trainer this summer, Chris Brickley!

"Link, I'm very happy to see you. I'm Chris Brickley, just call me Chris. I originally thought you wouldn't contact me today." Brickley greeted Link enthusiastically, and Link shook hands with the other party friendly.

"Sorry for disturbing so late, I just think that training in the early morning can help improve attention."

"Sorry? Hahahaha, you're not sorry to me. 24 hours, Link, I'm on call." Brickley worked hard because he knew that such an opportunity was hard-earned.

For trainers, connections are very important. The wider the connections, the more customers they will naturally have.

Brickley was known by Jeff Austin mainly because he was friends with college teammate Richard Pitino. Richard Pitino's father is a famous NCAA coach, and Rick Pitino, who also has experience coaching NBA!

Pitino is optimistic about Brickley's ability, so Brickley is known to people in the basketball circle. Otherwise, how could Austin know him?

Now Brickley is training Link, and he is actually accumulating connections. If Link thinks his training is pretty good, he will recommend Brickley to more people.

So, Brickley knew very well. No matter what request Link made, he had to do his best to complete it. In the early morning training? No problem, it was just a piece of cake.

Accompanied by Brickley, Link walked into the rented training hall. The rent was $10,000 per week, and Brickley's salary was $8,000 per week, which means that the cost of Link's training for a week was $18,000.

However, the facilities in the training hall are very complete, including basketball courts, gyms, swimming pools, etc., and everything they should have. Compared to the 50,000 yuan per week of Olajuwon training camp, Link thinks this is worth the money.

As long as it can be improved, what if it costs 18,000 yuan per week? After all, when the labor-management negotiations are over, Link will be the one who will get a contract of tens of millions.

"Isn't this good here? I've been looking for it for a long time because many popular training halls have been booked in advance by others. You know, every summer, there are countless players coming to Los Angeles to train. Although it's a little far away, no one disturbs you. We can spend a whole day polishing ourselves here, and when the new season begins, you'll be refreshed."

"Well, this place is pretty good. By the way, I wonder if Jeff has told you that the first thing I want to change is my body shape. I want to gain a little weight to about 105 kilograms. Is there any way?" Link said, looking down at his stomach after eating and drinking for more than a month.

Feeling uncomfortable!

"In fact, I have made a detailed weight gain plan for you. That means, from now on, you have to listen to me for your food and drink. I see that you ate a lot of delicious food when you were in China, but if you want to start gaining weight, you have to say goodbye to those things. Weight gain is not about increasing fat, but about increasing muscle. Therefore, you must avoid mouth."

"No problem, I've eaten enough." Link has long been accustomed to the fact that he was aware of the fact that he had just passed. In the whole season, Link was aware of the fact that he had been eating boiled chicken breasts. He still ate them.

He didn't even dare to touch anything like soda, wine, ice cream, and snacks. At first, Link was indeed a little uncomfortable, but after becoming an NBA player for most of the season, Ji Mouth has become his basic survival skill.

"Very good, then let's start by changing the body. After that, you have to spend time adapting to your new muscles and weight. Our task is heavy, Link, first, let's start warming up."

In this way, Brickley began his training for Link. A transformation plan that began at five o'clock in the morning kicked off.

※※※

One morning in mid-August, Link and Brickley woke up as early as ever.

After Link got up, he went to wash directly, while Brickley went to prepare breakfast for Link. Yes, for the convenience of training, the two of them had already lived together... I have to say that as a well-known private trainer, he really could go to the basketball court and go to the kitchen.

After Link took care of himself, Link's breakfast was already set on the table.

5 eggs, a few slices of turkey and a burger. The burger is not junk food. As long as the meat is not fried, it can replenish starch, calories and vitamins well.

Brickley's breakfast is the same as Link, not just breakfast. He has eaten the same food as Link for the past half month. In fact, there is no need for him to do this. Link has expressed more than once, "You can eat the food you want."

But Brickley insisted on having dinner with Link, and his explanation was simple, "I will be with you, and it will be easier for you to stick with it."

In terms of diet, Brickley is indeed very strict in control. No wonder every Chinese player's figure will undergo a drastic change after he comes to the NBA. Because not to mention training, just eating the above will have completely different professionalisms.

In CBA, it is normal for players to drink and eat skewers. But in NBA, even eating is part of the training.

After breakfast, Brickley accompanied Link to run in the morning. After a simple warm-up at the training hall, he began to enter the gym to get strength.

Last season, Link's slightly weak ability to confrontation did make him suffer a lot. Not to mention that he was knocked away, but when he was playing against players like James, Link was basically crushed.

Therefore, it is not enough to gain weight alone, and strength must be practiced. In the afternoon, there is a ball training. The training content is not complicated, mainly to allow Link to adapt to his strength, body after increasing weight and muscles in time.

Finally, it is swimming pool training. Training in the swimming pool has many benefits. You can use the resistance of water to give yourself a greater load. Training in water is less susceptible to mechanical damage, and the buoyancy of water is good for joints, etc. Such training can allow players to bear the least physical damage under high load.

After the swimming pool, it is shooting practice. Maintaining the feel is something Link does every day. It is not uncommon for a player to plummet his shooting percentage in a certain season. Although Link has Hill's ability bonus, if he does not train carefully, he will also fail.

After every day, Brickley will accompany Link home with him. When he is bored, the two will play games and watch movies, and will never go to nightclubs or similar entertainment venues. It can be said that the two have a "passionate" two-person world in Los Angeles.

Brickley was surprised. He didn't expect that young players like Link had such good determination. Los Angeles is a world of flowers, and not everyone can persist without being tempted.

Link was also surprised. As a trainer, Brickley worked as much as he did. It seems that every line requires hard work to achieve results.

Working hard may not necessarily lead to success, but the most basic condition for success.

After returning home, it's dinner, which is what Link hates the most. Because at night, Brickley will arrange boiled chicken breasts for Link

Of course, in addition to this, it is also worthy of coarse rice and vegetables.

However, compared with the Chinese delicacies more than a month ago, it is indeed much shabby.

Of course, the effect of eating this way is also obvious. Now, Link doesn’t even have any extra fat, and his figure has completely returned to the competition level.

Tonight, after dinner, Link received a call. The caller, Link, was very familiar with Kobe.

Kobe said that he wanted to come and see Link tomorrow. Kobe just returned to Los Angeles after participating in a business event, so he naturally wanted to meet these friends who were training in Los Angeles. If possible, he could also arrange a few game games.
