NBA : Grind to NBA King https://101kanshu.com/book/26438.html "Link's a great player. I appreciate that fire in his eyes—that's the kind of hunger only a guy who climbed out of the trenches has." — Kobe Bryant "Link's basketball IQ is honestly some of the best I've ever seen. His court vision and pure instinct for the game, you might even put it up there with Magic Johnson." — Phil Jackson "The very existence of Link shows another possibility for basketball. He is a truly era-defining player in NBA history." — Sports Illustrated "..." Reborn in 2005, Link finds himself a fringe player trying out for the Lakers. He starts with a C- rating, his athleticism is subpar (or, 'he's not exactly a freak athlete'), his pockets are empty (or, 'he's flat broke'), and a ten-day contract is the only thing standing between him and getting cut. The team's locker room cancer is relentlessly mocking him, and the coaching staff treats him like he's invisible. Thankfully, the 'Devil Training System' finally arrives, even if it's late to the party! Three thousand open three-pointers? No sweat! Extreme conditioning drills? Just gotta grind it out! From a no-name kid to the focal point of the Staples Center, Link proves his philosophy: If talent's not enough, let the system carry the load! If you put in the work, the world is yours! Years later, when people look back on that 2005 tryout, they can't help but sigh with a sense of awe. NBA history, they realize, was split into two parts right there: Before Link, and After Link.

Hurt Me Like You Mean It [BL]

[Updates resume March. Due to exams] [This book contains, explicit and mature scenes—no r*pe. Not advised for viewers under 18, protect thy purity] Lance Dixon is drowning in a debt that isn’t his. His parents’ financial mistakes have fallen entirely onto him, and his life has collapsed into a constant struggle to stay afloat. He has never denied what he is. Lance is a masochist, and most people he’s dated couldn’t handle that truth. Every relationship ended the same way, leaving him with needs no one was willing to meet. Everything shifts on a night he drinks too much and ends up venting to a stranger. In a mix of frustration and alcohol, Lance jokes that he’d sell himself to anyone willing to pay off his debt. The stranger, Ansel Lowell, doesn’t brush it off. He asks how much. And when Lance tells him, Ansel offers a deal: three months living under his terms, in exchange for clearing the debt completely. The deal is straightforward and seems almost like relief. But as the days pass, the dynamic between them deepens in ways neither expected. What began as a simple exchange grows into a connection that is far more consuming, and far more dangerous, than either of them intended. [Excerpt] Lance meant to pull away when Ansel stepped closer, but his body didn’t move. Ansel’s hand hovered near his jaw, just close enough to make Lance’s breath catch. “Do you understand what you agreed to?” Ansel asked quietly. Lance swallowed. “You’re paying off my debt. I stay with you for three months. That’s it.” A hint of a smile tugged at Ansel’s mouth, which made him more dangerous because of it. “No, Lance. That’s the surface of it. I want you to hear the truth.” Lance’s pulse stumbled. Ansel leaned in just enough that Lance could feel the warmth of his breath. “I’m going to take up space in your life. I’m going to have you when I want you. I’m going to learn every weakness you try to hide, and I will use them. I will claim you, piece by piece, until you can’t tell where your choices end and mine begin.” Lance exhaled shakily. “Do you worst Mr. Lowell, I can handle it.”
