Reverse Growth Superstar

: Thirty-one: Snake Slaughter (2)

   Seeing Link dunk again, the fans of the blue team will no longer be surprised. Although Link always seems to be slow, but as long as he has the opportunity, he can always perform a powerful blow.

   In the sad atmosphere of Upshaw's death, Link's dunk undoubtedly greatly boosted the morale of the scene. Not only did it boost the morale of teammates, it also boosted the morale of fans.

After    Link finished dunking, he heard everyone calling his name. Although there are not as many fans here as the NBA, and the shouts are not so intense, Link is very pleased.

   In Houston, he was just a clown who attracted the attention of the Rockets. But here, in Oklahoma, in the home court of the Blues, he is the hero of this group of fans!

   This is the first time that Link has fully felt what is called home court.

   He is wearing Upshaw's No. 0 jersey, behind him are his teammates and fans who support him, he is not afraid of anything now!

"I've never seen any development league game with such a hot atmosphere. Link seems to bring the NBA heat back to Oklahoma. The Vipers won't pass the game easily today, and the Houston Rockets will also because they don't Pay the price to renew Link!"

   In this frenetic atmosphere, Vipers point guard Larry Morris took possession of the ball for halftime. Larry Morris, a star point guard in college, played for 3 years at Washington State University, and failed in the draft.

   As a college star, Morris is just a small pebble in the Development League. He lost the election mainly because his height was only 1.80 meters and his scoring ability was not so strong. Moreover, the confrontation ability is quite disadvantaged in professional competitions.

   Don’t think it’s weird that the college star point guard lost the draft. The familiar Heat point guard Chalmers was originally a MOP in the NCAA semifinals. The results of it? He was only selected in the second round.

   Larry Morris has not been very confident since he entered the professional basketball world, so just after halftime, he wanted to find Carroll and try to pass the ball as soon as possible.

   But he waited for a long time in the gap between the midfield line and the three-point line, and still couldn't make a successful shot. Because of the yellow skin wearing the No. 0 jersey, the marking of Carroll is quite "unhuman."

"Carol tried to get rid of Link, but it was too late to succeed. His running was too immature in Link's eyes. The tragic ending of Luke Babbitt and Lance Stephenson seems to be on the card again. Roll again!"

   "Link's defense is absolutely NBA level. In the three games of the Rockets, he has adapted to the rhythm of the NBA. Back to the Development League, the game will be easy for him!"

  The commentators all marveled at Link's defensive ability. Carroll is not a player with a particularly strong ability to score independently. Although he is active, his athletic ability is very average.

   Athletic ability and scoring ability are not dominant. Carol wants to get rid of Link, which is almost a fantasy.

   Throughout the defense, Link stuck to Carol like glue on his hands. This one with an exaggerated dirty braid looked like a predator-like wild forward, but at this time he was tamed by Link like a trapped beast that could not find an exit.

   Seeing that the offensive time is getting less and less, Larry Morris does not intend to continue to consume it like this. He called the center forward to screen, and then personally broke through with the ball!

   Morris, who is only 1.80 meters tall, showed lack of self-confidence after the breakthrough, so he did not choose to make a layup, but passed the ball to Shunxia's Viper team center.

   The center was about to attack the frame with the ball, but the next second, cheers filled the arena again.

   I saw Joan Brockman flying over from the side in a powerful posture, abruptly flying the basketball in the hands of the Viper center forward! This big white bear, who is inconsistent in the NBA, is in the development league, but there is a gate in the penalty area.

   Basketball goes out of bounds, and the Viper team's offense is destroyed. Brockman gave him a vicious look, then turned around and gave Link a light high-five.

   Conor off the court laughed with relief. In the past few years as the coach of the blue team, he has never seen the atmosphere of this team so good.

The appearance of    Link has made the team's chemical reaction very subtle. He is not only a good player, but also a good teammate. To be more blunt, Conor thinks Link will be a good leader someday.

   "Damn Houstonians, they are asking for trouble." Finally, Conor said to himself from the sidelines.

   Although the Vipers still retain the ball at this time, their self-confidence has been greatly affected.

  The "death striker" formed by Link and Brockman made the blue team's defense become extremely tight.

   As expected, after another attack, the Viper team still failed to score. Carol couldn't catch the ball, and the others were deterred by Brockman and did not dare to get to the basket. In the end, the Viper team could barely make a shot from the outside, and the efficiency is known.

   With only one offense and one defense, the blue team seems to have taken the initiative in the game. The players of the Viper team have a lingering fear. What they encountered today was not a group of players, but a group of angry beasts!

   Carol swallowed. He felt extremely passive. He didn't know how the yellow skin in front of him would attack.

   It stands to reason that defense is the real value of Carroll. This aggressive forward has always been well received for his defensive contribution.

   Therefore, he also wants to use close defense to limit Link, but what makes him difficult now is that he doesn't know whether he should press or prevent Link from breaking through.

   Although Link doesn't look fast, his rhythm is strange and he can cut to the basket without knowing it. Thinking of Link's dunk just now, Carol couldn't help but step back. He can no longer allow the opponent to attack the basket easily, and sometimes he would rather bet on the opponent's shot than let the attacker go to the basket.

   Besides, Carol didn't let Link go far. If Link wants to shoot, he also has enough time to seal it.

   This black forward still thinks of Link too simply. If he knew his opponent was Grant Hill, he wouldn't dare to defend it like that...

   Link still didn't hold the ball, and he wandered to the right side of the court in the No. 0 jersey. But he did not stay outside the three-point line, but walked in.

   Carol was secretly happy that his strategy was right!

   But Link hasn't cut to the basket yet. Instead, he just hit the three-point line when the point guard of the blue team passed the ball!

   Link received the basketball, suddenly stopped, two steps in the three-point line, pull up and shoot!

   Carol was unprepared. He thought Link would go to the basket, but he didn't know that the opponent suddenly stopped for a jumper. He was impatient and blocked it immediately, but by the time he reacted, that number 0 had already completed the shot.

   Shooting, this is Grant Hill's strength in this period, and it is also the main scoring method. Whether it's mid-range or three-pointers, Grant Hill has done a great job.

   Link is very clear that in the near future, mid-range shots are almost extinct. Most players will either choose to shoot three pointers or just kill the basket. But Link knows very well that CIC is an old and cost-effective skill. The premise is that you have to vote very accurately.

   The basketball crosses Carol's fingertips, draws a rainbow arc, and falls straight into the net.

   For the second round in a row, DeMarre Carroll was scored by Link. At this time, Carroll had only one question-why did the Rockets not renew this guy? Are their brains broken?

   Darrell Morey is in a good mood these days. For only $50,000, he successfully used that Chinese player to attract a wave of attention.

   Now, the Rockets' attendance in each game is gradually picking up, and the ratings of each game are gradually increasing. Most importantly, he stabilized the Chinese market.

   The Chinese market is a big cake, and it is worth doing anything for that cake.

   As for the Chinese who lost the draft? Who cares? This is how development league players are ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ They always come and leave silently. In another week, everyone will forget who Link is.

   Morey did not renew Link, except that Link was not in his plan, but also because Morey felt that Link was not in the NBA.

   In his opinion, Link is just a soft man with a high basketball IQ but a mess of physical fitness. And Link is 22 years old, and there is definitely not much potential to tap in the future. A young player with a physical fitness similar to that of his 30s and 40s, Morey doesn't think he can do anything.

   If he needs a shooter, there are a bunch of good shooters waiting for him in Europe, and he doesn't have to waste time for a draft pick.

   Although a bit cruel, business is business.

   While Morey was still reminiscing about his "victory" in the past few days, he received a call from his own scout.

   "Darrell, are you still asleep?"

   "No, what's the matter?"

   "I don't think you should give up that Chinese-American lose the draft."

   "Huh?" Morey was taken aback, what's the situation? Is a scout teaching a general manager how to do things?

   When Link was not renewed, Adelman also protested with Morey, but Morey did not listen. Why should he listen to a scout?

   "Can you give me a reason?" Morey asked playfully.

"Reason? God, turn on the TV! Link has almost blown up the Vipers, and he is going to tear Carol to pieces! And..." the voice of the scout on the other end of the phone. There was a pause, "Moreover, he is about to break the development league's single-game scoring record..."
