: Seventeen: Problem children

　　 Link has been very depressed today, because the playground activities are much more boring than he thought.
　　 Except for meeting a fan who knew him at the door, Link found that 90% of the people in the park had no idea who he was.
　　 The reason why these people are so enthusiastic to challenge themselves is not because of their professional status, but because the reward for success in the challenge is very attractive-a five-meter-high doll and a one-month pass to the park.
　　 But after all, after taking other people's money, Link can only grit his teeth and insist. So he spent a boring afternoon like this. The only thing he was doing all afternoon was playing shooting machines with middle-aged men and children.
　　 It feels very uncomfortable, and Link feels like a clown. It's just that what he performs in front of people is not acrobatics and comedy, but shooting.
　　 Two hours later, I managed to get to the last challenge, and when I could take the money to leave, but when the last challenger stepped forward, Link suddenly became interested in this event.
　　 It's not because he started playing, but because of a girl who was walking towards him at this time, Link felt very familiar.
　　 But he searched for his own brain with memories of two lives, only to find that the former Link did not know this girl.
　　 "This lady, can you know your name?"
　　 Just as Link was in a daze, the host asked questions.
　　 "Rachel De Mita."
　　 The girl could not wait to take the basketball and said her name.
　　 "Rachel De Mita..." Link scratched his head, and suddenly realized!
　　 This young girl in front of me is the female anchor of NBA2KTV in the future, and is also one of the most favorite basketball goddesses of the younger generation of fans, Rachel Demita!
　　 The moment he recognized Rachel, Link almost rushed to ask her for an autograph. But fortunately, reason defeated impulse later.
　　 Now Rachel has not yet entered the basketball world, she is not well-known, just an ordinary college student. A professional player is looking for a college student to sign, I am afraid it is not justified.
　　 "Are you really a professional player? I have never seen you in the Thunder team." Before the shot started, Rachel, who was standing next to Link, asked straightforwardly.
　　 "I don't play for the Thunder. To be precise, I don't play for the NBA. I play for the Oklahoma Blues of the Development League." Link nodded, a little nervous.
　　 The "goddess" who has always been highly sought after is standing in front of him, and being a boy would be a little nervous.
　　 "So, I thought you were a fake. But don't take it lightly, you may not be able to beat me."
　　Rachel smiled, and then the host said that the game had started.
　　 The first few balls, both of them shot very smoothly. Although the height of the shooting machine is completely different from that of the basketball hoop used in official games, both of them have a good sense of the ball. Adjusting the height of the basket is not difficult for them.
　　 Link was very surprised by Rachel's performance. Before, he only knew that Rachel was a basketball host, but he didn't know that Rachel could really play that way.
　　 In fact, Rachel was also a strong player in women's basketball in high school. Four-time Ohio State top 65 player, member of the 2005 AAU Junior National Championship, 2007 Medina County 3-pointer...
　　 If it weren't for injuries, Rachel should now be playing in the NCAA game. But unfortunately, she has given up basketball for a long time now.
　　 This slight distraction caused Link to miss two consecutive goals in an unprecedented way.
　　 And these two misses, in the end Link lost 13-14.
　　 Rachel Demita, the goddess of NBA2K in the future, became the first tourist to challenge successfully today!
　　 "Gosh, she actually did it! This young lady became the first person to successfully challenge today! Congratulations, she won our event reward. A giant doll, and a one-month pass to the amusement park!"
　　 The host raised Rachel's hand high, while Link clapped helplessly.
　　 But judging from the host's winking expression, he must have thought Link had deliberately released the water. After all, if a challenge is set but no one succeeds in the challenge, it is also somewhat unreasonable.
　　 This makes Link even more helpless. He doesn't have any intention to release water...
　　 "Okay, young lady, now take your prize and take a photo with Link! Don't worry, the photo is free."
　　 The two got together, and Link saw Rachel's face up close for the first time.
　　Rachel didn’t make much makeup today, so she seemed to have a pure sense of beauty, just like an ordinary but always reluctant girl next door.
　　 "You said you were playing in the Development League, is that true?"
　　Rachel suddenly turned her head and talked to Link, so that Link hurriedly looked away from his face.
　　 "Um...Oklahoma Blues, have you watched the Blues game?" Lin Ge hurriedly broke the topic.
　　 "To be honest, this is the first time I know that Oklahoma also has a development league team. But if you are a professional player, it means you still have the opportunity to enter the NBA, right?"
　　 "Yes, the Development League is the closest way to the NBA."
　　 "Well," Rachel nodded thoughtfully, "I hope everything goes well in your basketball career in the future, Link."
　　As a person who was forced to give up her beloved, she sincerely hopes that everyone in basketball can make their dreams come true.
　　 After the group photo was over, the girl took a lively pace and left with a huge plush toy.
　　 "A good harvest today, Link. You see, it took more than an hour for $5,000 to be credited!"
　　 Carl Jones, the manager, walked over from the person in charge of the amusement park, and he had a wad of green bills in his hand.
　　 After taking out 4000 and giving it to Link, he put the remaining 1000 into his pocket. Although the rake was 20%, the money Link could have left was enough for him.
　　 "Yes, I have a rich harvest today..." Link has a smile on his face. The harvest in his mouth doesn't mean money...
　　※※※
　　 The Fort Wayne Ants is a relatively "long history" team in the Development League. Since its establishment in 2007, the Mad Ants have been affiliated with Indiana and have never moved.
　　 It is not easy for a small development league team to survive for so many years without belonging to any NBA team.
　　 Although the Crazy Ants has a "long history", their honor is pitiful. After three years of playing in the Development League, their best results are only to experience the playoffs.
　　 In this regard, Steve Gansey, the head coach of the Crazy Ants, has a headache. He needs more capable players, such as some players who have been released from the NBA.
　　 This year, the Crazy Ants and the Pacers reached a preliminary cooperation agreement. Although the mad ants are still not affiliated with the Pacers, once there are players in the Pacers who want to devolve, the first one will choose to "throw" to the mad ants.
　　 This should be a good thing for the Crazy Ants, but Stephen Gansey is not happy to open it.
　　 Because of this player who is about to come to his team, it is really difficult to discipline.
　　In just a few months into the Pacers, he has repeatedly caused trouble. He was caught for speeding, being late for training, colliding with the coach, and other things happen to him from time to time.
　　 is also because of this, people say that he is a "problem child". Steve Gansey also thinks so, he doesn't think he can restrain a wild horse.
　　 This time, the guy was sent down because he lost his temper in the locker room. A newcomer who dared to lose his temper in the NBA locker room, Steve Gansey didn't know if he could withstand his "destruction."
　　 "咚咚咚!"
　　 Just when Ganxi was in a state of desperation, the door of his office was knocked.
　　 "Please...please come in." Ganxi stammered in reply. He knew that his "great gift" had arrived.
　　 As expected, the door of Ganxi's office was opened by a tall black man. He was wearing simple white short sleeves and a headscarf, and he looked like those gang members on the street.
"Coach Ganxi, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon! Don't worry, we won't lose with me the day after tomorrow! Don't worry about the guy who cut a triple-double in the last game, I will fix him! This Once being delegated, I don’t want to lose again."
　　 The player named Lance Stephenson, called "Problem Child", seems to be quite concerned about Link...
