Reverse Growth Superstar

　　 As soon as he woke up from the big bed in a five-star hotel, Link saw the snowy city outside the window—Toronto.

　　As a southerner before crossing, Link didn't see snow much. What's more, it is this kind of heavy snow that can cover the entire city.

　　 But looking at the snow scene outside the window, Link was not excited, but rather tired. In winter, people can't help being lazy. And the pedestrians wrapped in thick cotton-padded clothes on the street also made Link shiver.

　　 At this time, Tony Allen who lives in the same room with Link is still asleep. After all, the Grizzlies players only finished an away game last night and stayed up late to catch a plane. They were really exhausted. It's normal to sleep longer during the day.

　　 Link stood up and turned around in the room, with a full budget. This was only the second time Link stayed in a five-star hotel. He used to stay in a motel when playing away games with the Blue team, and furthermore, he did not have the economic conditions to stay in a five-star hotel.

　　 He suddenly noticed that a newspaper was stuffed under the crack of the door, so he picked it up and looked at it with curiosity.

　　 Indeed, in 2010, online news was far less developed than in 2019. The impact on the print media industry was not as great as in 2019.

　　 Although the current mobile phone can also watch news, the experience is terrible. Therefore, newspapers are still the main way for everyone to understand daily news.

　　 Link picked up the newspaper and flipped through it casually. He was not interested in most of the content written on it. But when it turned to the sports version, Link was stunned.

In the center of the 　　 sports version, there is a photo of himself cheering when he fell to the ground! At least half of this section is used to write Link's performance last night and his inspirational story.

　　Of course, the headline of the report that concerns Link the most is, "The loser wins the tenth pick, and Link's counterattack has officially begun!"

　　 The first time he saw himself in the newspaper, Link always felt a little strange. He didn't expect that his news was so popular in Toronto.

　　 After all, people like to hear stories of such small characters counterattack. Moreover, his skin color is somewhat special. Thinking about it this way, it is not surprising that Link can reach Canada.

　　 "Link, why do you get up so early?"

　　 While Link was still smug that he was in the newspaper, Tony Allen got up with his dim eyes open. He also looked at the goose feather snow outside the window, and then muttered, "Damn weather."

　　 "I'm a little excited, Tony. Look," Link said, raising the newspaper in his hand, "I actually got the newspaper, the Toronto newspaper!"

　　 Seeing Link so excited, Tony Allen smiled lightly. Don't underestimate Tony Allen. After all, this guy has a championship ring. As one of the champion members of the Celtics in 2008, Tony Allen naturally disagrees with things like newspapers.

　　 He has been on the top of the world, what's the point of being in the newspaper? What else has he never been on?

　　 "Don't get excited, buddy. You will have more chances to be in the newspaper in the future. Let's go, wash and change clothes, let's go down for breakfast."

　　Looking at the appearance of Tony Allen not caring about things like newspapers, Link didn't feel surprised, it was in line with his personality.

　　 Link has read some articles about Tony Allen before. He said that he is not playing for newspapers or magazines. He just wants to be one of the best defenders in history.

　　Of course, whenever Tony Allen is mentioned, Link always remembers the very classic sentence: "I don't understand offensive things, but you don't want to understand either."

　　 I remembered that yesterday he and Tony Allen teamed up to lock George and Brandon Nash, Link couldn't help shaking his head, Tony Allen was indeed a terrible defensive gate. He was very fortunate that he and Tony Allen were on one side.

　　 Tony Allen, the most regrettable thing about this guy is that the skill tree is completely crooked and he is seriously biased. He has been with the Grizzlies for so many years and has never averaged a double-digit score per game. As a top defense expert, his annual salary has never exceeded 10 million. If his scoring ability is slightly stronger, Link believes that Tony Allen's status is definitely more than that.

　　 If I can have Tony Allen's defense and Grant Hill's offense, then...

　　The beautiful Link almost didn't let his saliva come out, but when I thought about it, it seemed not impossible!

　　 As far as Link now knows about his own system, his abilities are upgraded in a superimposed way, not replaced. In other words, the attributes that are already strong will not become weaker, and the attributes that are weak now will become stronger as they level up. The combination of strong ability and strong ability is the future self.

　　 Grant Hill shot right in his twilight years, but he barely made three-pointers when he was young. But Link is different. Even if he upgrades to Hill when he was young, his projection ability will not be weakened.

　　 So Link thought, does that mean that if he can develop his defensive ability, he can retain it?

　　 This system allows Link to have Grant Hill's ability, but it doesn't say that it is "only" to have Grant Hill's ability!

　　 With Grant Hill’s basketball IQ and body, it seems that it’s not impossible to learn defense with Tony Allen.

　　 Anyway, Tony Allen seems to have a pretty good attitude towards him, so Link clapped his hands and decided to learn something from Tony Allen!

　　 So, when Tony Allen came out of the bathroom wrapped in a bathrobe, and found that Link had been staring at him, with a meaningful smile, the defensive titan felt a little frowned upon.

　　 "Tony."

　　 "What...what's the matter?"

"I think......"

　　 Tony Allen swallowed.

　　 "I think I will practice defense with you in the future."

　　 "Huh!? That's all!?"

"if not?"

"Damn, in the future, can you just talk about the problem, don't stare at others with strange eyes. Also, can you not make that kind of incomprehensible smile when you stare at others. I see when you shoot I also love to laugh. Didn't anyone complain about your mentally retarded smile when you shot!" Tony Allen exhaled while complaining.

　　 "Uh...I just smiled to show friendship."

"Your smile and friendliness have never been related, but having said that, few young players are willing to think about defense anymore. UU reading www.uukanshu.com and your defensive ability is among players of the same age. Very good. Why? I still feel that I haven't done enough?" Tony Allen actually admired Link the most.

　　 Some people are always very satisfied with themselves, such as Mayo. But some people are thinking about how to continue to improve every moment. There is no doubt that Link belongs to the latter, otherwise, he would not be able to climb up the development league as a failed draft.

"Yesterday I was a little struggling to defend Daniel Granger. If I hadn't been behind Zach to help me guard the back, I guess I wouldn't have been so good in yesterday's game. And I know very well that although Granger is an All-Star, it is still far away. Not a top scorer. If it is difficult to defend him, it means that my defensive ability is actually not strong enough."

　　 Listening to Link's explanation, Tony Allen found it more interesting. This kid hasn't even signed the second ten-day short contract, so he is thinking about defending top scorers?

　　 How ambitious is he! ?

　　 Link is very clear about how much power is in his body. His idol Hill has not become the Hill that people imagined. But he will give full play to Hill's potential.

　　 So, his goal now is not just to survive in the NBA.

　　 "I am happy to practice with you and teach you how to defend. But it depends on you."

　　 Tony Allen did not refuse, he likes all players who love defense, even if he is a loser.

　　 "I will work hard, Tony. Let's go, we should go down for breakfast."

　　 was one of the most terrifying defenders in the league? Just thinking about it, Link felt a little excited.
