The Sioux Falls Sky Force team sits on two rookies who have been delegated by the NBA. For them, the goal this season is naturally the championship.
However, this "Champion Division" was blocked by the blue team with only 5 wins in 12 games. Most importantly, the blue team star Joan Brockman played so badly today.
"I don't know what you are doing, but I can be sure that you are getting farther and farther away from the NBA! If you can't dominate the development league, then just leave as soon as possible!"
After the end of the first quarter, the entire Sky Force bench was only shouted by the head coach. The person who was yelled was naturally Luke Babbitt, who was blown up by Link in the first quarter.
Babbitt scored 7 points and 2 rebounds in a single game, and it looks pretty good. But his 7 points were all scored by Brockman in the first four minutes. Since Link came on the court, Babbitt has not scored even one more goal.
Even if it was contained on the offensive end, Babbitt actually allowed Link to score 12 points in a single quarter. And this is precisely the main reason why the Sky Forces are 7 points behind.
Sky Forces head coach Marcus Bolton naturally doesn't think Link is so strong, so he always thinks that Babbitt has underestimated the enemy and didn't take it seriously.
In the face of the head coach’s doubts, Babbitt has a hard time to say. He can't tell the coach "I have worked hard, but still can't help it".
So, in the second quarter, if Luke Babbitt still wants to save face, if he still wants to continue to enter the NBA, his only way is to do his best.
He has to fight with Link.
In the NBA, most players die in the playoffs. In the Development League, there are several players in every game who are desperate for statistics and victory.
Compared with the NBA, the development league games have a more rugged charm. Basketball is a competitive sport after all, and the heavier the competitive flavor, the better the game is for fans.
"I see, you won't see him jumping again in the second quarter."
Luke Babbitt gritted his teeth and replied, if he is blown up by an unknown draft pick, it will be as embarrassing as it is. He is a college star, but he has high hopes from the Trail Blazers.
So, he intends to fight Link with what he does best.
What is he best at? Catch the ball!
So before the start of the second quarter, Luke Babbitt found his teammate, Hassan Whiteside who has not yet accepted the transformation of socialist characteristics.
"Man, I need you to do more off-the-ball screens for me in the second quarter. Also, on the defensive end, help me pay more attention to the yellow-skinned No. 5. If he dares to break into the penalty area, let him try Taste it!"
Babbitt knew that he had to use the power of his teammates to contain Link. In the past quarter of the game, no one knows what Link has better than Babbitt. If he fights alone, he might still suffer.
Therefore, Babbitt must use his teammates to achieve his goals. He must win. This is not only about victory and glory, but also about his job.
On the side of the blue team, what Conor wants to do now is undoubtedly one thing-continue to open the score.
7 points ahead of the Sky Forces in the first quarter, which Conor couldn't even imagine before the game. But the X factor of Link really played a role, making the bald coach extremely happy.
Therefore, he decided to switch to his strongest lineup next.
"What!? You want me to play with that idiot at the same time!?"
When Brockman heard that he was going to play with Link at the same time, his heart was very resistant. The head coach actually pushed him back to the fourth position for Link. In Brockman's view, this is more uncomfortable than being blown up by Babbitt.
to make way for a losing draft? What a joke! ?
"First of all, Link is not an idiot, he is your teammate, and he scored 12 points on the guy who blew you up! Second, if you don’t want to play the fourth or don’t want to play, then you just sit on the bench, I Don't mind."
Conor's attitude is very tough, he can no matter who loses the draft and who is delegated from the NBA. He only knows that those who can lead the team to victory are good players!
Seeing Conor saying so, Brockman couldn't refute anything. No matter how angry he is, he can only be obedient later.
"Others, give Link more screens and pass him more. I need to give him easy shots. Only in this way can we win the game. Does any of you want to lose to that group of from Miami? !?"
"No!"
"Very good," Cornell nodded in satisfaction, "Then do it!"
At the beginning of the second quarter, the blue team's lineup attracted the attention of the commentators. I saw Upshaw, Link and Brockman playing at the same time. This combination of lineup undoubtedly maximizes the offensive firepower of the blue team.
"Can the magical No. 5 continue the state of the first quarter? We have seen too many players who suddenly played with gorgeous data after a sudden burst of touch. But most of them are usually not stable enough. Second. During the game, the blue team may still use Brockman as the core to attack."
On the commentary stage, the commentator is still not very optimistic about Link. After scoring a high score in a single quarter, it starts to be weak, even in the NBA. In their view, Conor took Brockman and Link at the same time for double insurance.
But in fact, he sent Brockman just hoping that the "big white bear" could play a good blue-collar role next to Link...
So it was the first offense after the start of the second quarter, and Brockman was forced to make a ball-free screen for Link.
"What are you doing in a daze? Waiting for me to replace you!? Cover, cover your teammates!"
Conor’s yelling made Brockman have to compromise, because the first quarter of the game has proved that this bald coach will indeed let him sit on the bench, and he did what he said.
So, Brockman made a ball-free screen for Link on the run. Not to mention, Brockman's screen quality is at least good enough in the development league. When he was in college, he often did this kind of work.
And besides Brockman hated Link, he also hated Luke Babbitt who made him faceless today. Therefore, Brockman's screen is very tough.
With Brockman's help, it was easier for Link to get rid of Babbitt. After throwing away Babbitt and receiving the basketball, Link deliberately flicked a shot outside the three-point line.
Luke Babbitt, who rushed over, leaped high, but his menacing defense was not successful. I saw Link hit the fly Babbitt and broke through with the ball directly. He was just a fake shot and Babbitt was completely mocked!
"Damn it!" Luke Babbitt turned his head in horror in the air. If he was scored again by the opponent, he would be completely discredited.
However, his good teammate Whiteside did not forget the conversation just now. The behemoth inside jumped out, ready to help defend.
I have to say that when Link saw Whiteside, a terrible sense of oppression hit his face. Even with the ability of Twilight Hill, Link does not quite challenge the authority of this behemoth.
So, just when Link and Whiteside were about to collide together, the yellow-skinned No. 5 forward struck the ground suddenly.
The basketball crosses the side of Whiteside's leg and jumps inside! At this time, Brockman, who had screened for Link, just cut to the basket and received the basketball!
"what!?"
Everyone was shocked. In such a small space, he can still hit the ground and deliver the ball to his teammates. Is this guy really a 2m03 striker! ?
At the same time, everyone on the blue team and Brockman himself were also very surprised. Because they know the relationship between Link and Brockman, the two spammed each other on the training ground yesterday. But today, Link actually passed the ball to Brockman! ?
Brockman didn't think so much, and now Whiteside jumped out and there was no one in the basket. After being humiliated by Babbitt for a whole quarter of the game, Brockman would give up this opportunity for performance.
So after receiving the ball, he took two steps and then dunked with both hands!
The audience cheered. As soon as the second quarter started, the blue team gave a beautiful offense to the home fans!
"It's beautiful! Damn, this guy should play the NBA!"
At this time, UU reading www.uukanshu. On the com commentary stage, the commentators have been fascinated by Link's performance. From a beautiful escape to a realistic fake shot and a subtle pass at the end...Although Brockman was the last to score, the most dazzling person in this offense is undoubtedly Link.
After the goal, Brockman looked at Link in surprise, but Link only tilted his head.
He admitted that he didn't like the white forward who called him weak. But in the game, in order to win and perform better, Link had to temporarily put his personal prejudices behind him.
In the offense just now, is it attractive to fight against Whiteside's defense, or a pass is more attractive, even children have the answer in their hearts.
Therefore, Link can improve the relationship between the team and show himself better by doing that, which is simply killing two birds with one stone.
"I always thought Link was a pure pitcher, but it seems that his ability to attack with the ball and read the game is also very good. As you just said, this guy should go to the NBA."
The commentators are still surprised by Link's pass just now. There is no doubt that Link has also broken the impression that he is just a pure shooter.
In fact, Grant Hill was not a pure shooter in his twilight years. In the Suns with Nash, he is the team's second organization point.
The pass just now was just a trick for Link.
Luke Babbitt suddenly discovered that his opponent seemed to be more than just shooting the ball. Asking Whiteside to assist in the defense seems to be ineffective.
If the opponent gets a double-double stat today...
Babbitt did not dare to think further, he only hoped that his nightmare would end sooner.
