927: Belong to your own family
As the only host of NBA2ktv, Rachel will naturally not miss the All-Star Game.
She wants to bring live experience reports on the All-Star Game to all NBA2k game players, and also needs to prepare materials for the All-Star Weekend special program.
For Rachel, this was destined to be a very busy weekend. She had to read the question paper about interviewing major stars the next day tonight, but at this time, Rachel was not thinking about work at all.
"I really envy the family of four, so happy." Rachel held Link's arm. The two of them had now finished their dinner with Kobe's family and were walking in the hotel's small garden.
Although the temperature in New York is very low in February, most people don’t want to wander the streets at this time.
But for Link and Rachel, who rarely have time to get together, they feel very warm at this moment.
"Yes, Kobe's family is very happy. Two cute daughters and a wife who loves her are right. It is said that they are still preparing to continue having children. It is such a lively family. In this way, Kobe can retire with peace of mind."
Link looked at the night sky in New York, feeling complicated.
Although it was not the first time I experienced it, Link still felt unbelievable when he heard Kobe talking about his retirement plan at the dinner table.
He hasn't forgotten the situation when Kobe asked himself to go to training in the early morning when he first participated in the All-Star.
He did not forget the showdowns he had with Kobe on the court.
I have never forgotten the sweat they shed in the training hall every summer.
And now, this guy who has been with me for several years suddenly said he would leave
Link really felt it was a bit unacceptable.
When Kobe retired, Link was just a fan and Kobe was just an idol.
But now, Kobe is an important part of Link's life, a living person around him.
This made Link even more reluctant to leave Kobe.
Although Kobe just said that he hadn't decided when he would retire, Link knew that it was not far away.
If nothing unexpected happens, next season will be Kobe's last season
Link stopped and didn't think about it anymore. Before he knew it, he had spent so long in the league.
"You also think they are very happy. So, do you want to have a happy family of your own?" Rachel said, holding Link's arm with his hand tighter.
Link looked at Rachel in surprise. Speaking of which, they have been together for a long time.
From the nameless to the popularity of the whole country, they all came here together.
Is it possible to have a happy family of your own
"Hehe, go back quickly, it's getting late. I have to go back to my room, and I'll be busy starting work tomorrow." Rachel smiled, interrupted Link who was about to speak, and then let go of her hands.
The two actually lived in the same hotel, but for the sake of work convenience, they did not live in the same room.
"Yeah, wear more clothes tomorrow."
"Don't worry, there is air conditioner in the studio, it won't be cold. Thank you for taking me tonight's dinner, Link, I'm very happy tonight."
After saying that, the two said goodbye to each other in the small garden in the hotel.
Looking at Rachel's figure as she was leaving, Link scratched his head at a loss.
A happy family?
※※※
"You idiot, of course she hopes you propose to her and propose to her! Is it possible for girls to take the initiative in this kind of thing?"
Gasol looked at Link as if he was watching an idiot.
After Link returned to his room, he chatted with Gasol about the "inexplicable" words Rachel had just said.
As a married man, Gasol immediately understood Rachel's meaning. At the same time, he was also amazed at Link's dullness.
Link is extremely smart on the basketball court, but he is stupid in the relationship between men and women.
"Proposal?" Link was surprised, "Is it that serious?"
"Of course, why would a girl suddenly tell you about family or something? She must have wanted to form a happy family like Kobe with you! Speaking of which, you and Rachel are not in a day or two, and they are at the age of getting married."
"Since that's the case, why did she suddenly leave?"
"Because she is not prepared, by the way, she also gives you some time to prepare. I have to say that Rachel is such a good girl, and she is very good at considering you. You, don't just think about basketball all day long. If I hadn't analyzed it for you, you would still be in the dark." Gasol patted his chest and raised his head proudly.
"Damn, you've only been married for a few years, don't be very experienced. But start a family."
Link curled his lips. Link actually had no idea about the word family.
Before he traveled over, his family was fragmented. Now, although he has a complete family and a pair of responsible parents, Link only thanked them, but did not have any real family affection.
What does family mean to Link? It means the sofa at Upshaw's home, the locker room full of squirming sounds in the Federal Express Arena, and the difficulties he and his teammates faced together again and again.
After so many years, Link has always regarded his friends, teammates and team as his family.
But Link knew that a family that truly belonged to him was very different from these.
He really has no experience in this regard.
How can a person who has never really experienced the word "family" start a family?
"Okay, don't put such great pressure on yourself. Of course, don't let Rachel wait too long. Many people think that starting a family will restrict your hands and feet. But I think what should I say after starting a family? More mature and more responsible? I don't know how to explain it. In short, after forming my own family, I feel that my life has become better."
Gasol is biased, but the Spanish rarely talk about their families with others.
"Sometimes, it feels that the time is right. Life is not like playing games. You can't wait until everything is ready before you go on stage. Is there a time for everything to be ready in life? But you don't have to worry. You can wait this summer and wait until everything in this season is over before you think about it slowly. At that time, you both should be ready too."
Looking at Gasol's serious expression, Link couldn't help laughing.
Unexpectedly, Gasol actually has this kind of "function".
"Okay, I won't discuss this anymore, it's up to you." Link waved his hand and lay on the bed.
"Hehe, then I won't talk about this. By the way, where will we go to play tomorrow night? Don't tell me that you have to date Rachel tomorrow. Rachel will be busy at the rookie competition site tomorrow, and you can't make an appointment with her."
"I won't go anywhere tomorrow night and I'll rest in the hotel." Link waved his hand.
"Resting in the hotel? God, I have to call fbi, you must have been kidnapped by aliens!"
"Don't mess around, I have a task on this year's All-Star Game! This time, I have to do a big game."
Link looked at the ceiling and curled up the corners of his mouth slightly.
Chapter completed!
