: Nineteen: Anti-humiliation

　　 Fort Wayne, Indiana's second largest city after Polis.
　　Of course, there is also a professional basketball team in Indiana, second only to the Pacers, the Fort Wayne Mad Ants.
The Fort Wayne Mad Ants may be one of the few development league teams that Link knows. This is not because Link has been following the development league news, but the single player mode of NBA2K19. The protagonist is in Fort Wayne. The effectiveness of mad ants.
　　 However, Link's knowledge of the Crazy Ants is limited to this. After all, a game cannot show all aspects of a development league team.
　　 Today, in the Allen County War Memorial Stadium, home of the Crazy Ants, scouts from countless NBA teams gathered here.
　　 Everyone wanted to see how the amazing Chinese player who scored a triple-double in the last game performed today.
　　Secondly, whether Lance Stephenson can dominate the development league or not, scouts are looking forward to it.
　　 Unlike Link who suddenly appeared in people's sight, Stephenson became famous early in his youth. From New York, he humiliated many adult streetball players when he was still in high school, and his talent once made him selected for the U18 national team.
　　 However, just like he is now sent to the Development League, Stephenson has repeatedly destroyed his career due to various off-field events.
　　 But overall, Stephenson is still a genius in most scouts' hearts. So the duel between him and Link has become much-anticipated.
"Today's game, Link, you start at the third position! Although you play the third position, I need you to guard Stephenson on the defensive end. There is no doubt that that bad guy is the number one on the Mad Ants. The scorer. But I believe you can freeze him, just like you freeze Luke Babbitt the last game."
　　 Before the game started, Conor put his tactical focus on Link.
　　 Although Link only played a good game, but he is the only trustworthy Conor.
　　 Upshaw is conscientious, but his ability is limited. Well, Brockman... That guy would be turned into a fool by Stephenson, who was born in streetball.
　　 Therefore, whether Link's last game was short-lived or indeed has the strength, Conor can only choose to try.
　　 The opponent is an NBA-level player, a player who was sent down because of his bad temper!
　　 "Brockman, just like the last game, I want you to set up more screens for Link. When he calls for screens, you must get me in place right away!"
　　 Then, Conor cast his gaze to Brockman. There is no doubt that Brockman's tactical status has changed from the core to the blue collar. Now, Brockman doesn't need to attack with the ball, he only needs to do simple tasks like defense, screens and cut dunks.
　　 Conor thought that Brockman would resist fiercely, so his tone was a bit heavy. As everyone knows, Brockman actually nodded obediently and agreed.
　　 "Well, I see."
　　 Although his tone was somewhat reluctant, Brockman still agreed.
　　 Indeed, he doesn't like Link. But the facts have proved that if you cooperate with Link, you can win the game and win the game by the way.
　　 Therefore, as long as Brockman is not mentally retarded, he will no longer conflict with Link.
　　 Seeing that his teammates are willing to cooperate with his work, Link smiled slightly. Next, he finally wants to experience what it was like when James and Stephenson confronted.
　　※※※
　　 Although the development league games are not at the same level as the NBA, the basic procedures still have to go. The warm-up before the game is even more impossible to omit.
　　 Link's open shooting percentage is still very high today. Grant Hill's shooting stability during this period is still very good.
　　 If the shooting stability of old Hill can be combined with the physical fitness of Peak Hill... Link swallowed, I hope his system can really be so powerful.
　　 "You are Link!?"
　　 Just as Link was shooting and thinking, he heard someone calling himself.
　　 Turned his head and saw that the person who came was no one else, but the infamous "born ready", Lance Stephenson.
　　 Face to face with Stephenson in person, Link's first feeling is that the other party is full of murderousness.
　　 His eyes were round, like a poisonous snake staring at his prey.
　　 "Lance, you just rushed to our warm-up half, I'm afraid it's not very good." Link looked around and found that several teammates had gathered.
　　 Crazy Ants coach Steve Gansey is undoubtedly the most nervous person. If Stephenson gets into trouble before the game starts, he will vomit blood with anger.
　　 "What's wrong, the league doesn't stipulate that opponents must not cross the midfield line when warming up. I often hear George mention you, you are stronger than I thought, Link."
　　 "Really? Thank you for your compliment, Lance, I..."
"But basketball is not a stronger game than anyone else. I know you have a high rating in George's mouth, but that is only because you and him are college teammates. I will let you know how cruel the NBA is, kid. If you By accident, your coach asked you to defend me, so you’re out of luck."
　　 After speaking, Stephenson turned and left.
　　 Everyone looked dumbfounded. Today was the first time Link and Stephenson met. The two had no grievances before. Why did Stephenson run over to provoke him?
　　 But this is Stephenson. If his thinking is the same as that of ordinary people, he cannot fall to the second round.
　　 Link shook his head, unaffected by Stephenson. He knows that many scouts have come today, so naturally he will not let go of this opportunity to shine.
　　 "The game will begin soon. This is undoubtedly the highlight of this season's Development League game! The former New York son Lance Stephenson played against Chinese Light Link. His duel between the two is very much looking forward to."
　　 As soon as the commentator's voice fell, the referee tossed the basketball and the game started!
　　 The 2.16-meter white center of the Crazy Ants competed for basketball. This behemoth looked as full of deterrent power as Whiteside.
　　 Link can't help feeling that, maybe in a few years, this kind of slow-moving large center may not have a market in the development league.
　　 Lance Stephenson received the basketball and he directly held the ball for halftime. Stephenson is an all-around guard, with a height of 1.96 meters, he can play the first and second positions at the same time. He can even top the number three position when needed.
　　 Stephenson thought that Link would not come up to defend himself so quickly, but he had just passed the half-court possession when he was pressed tightly by Link.
　　 "Link directly confronted Stephenson! The blockbuster matchup of this game started early!"
　　 Stephenson smiled slightly. He didn't believe that a Chinese with average athletic ability could defend himself. Once he could fly a lot of opponents in Rock Park, and he could also do this in the Development League.
　　 Stephenson is indeed a weird character, but he is not stupid. He knew that Larry Bird valued himself very much, and he knew that Bird also hated iron but not steel when he delegated himself.
　　 So, in the Development League, he didn't want to let Bird down.
　　 Stephenson alternately dribbles the ball with left and right hands and is about to break through. But the first step went on, Stephenson, who was more athletic, did not complete the breakthrough!
　　 "The prediction is correct in advance, rest assured, Link's defense is not leaking!"
　　 The commentator cheered, and the No. 5 Chinese on the court has attracted too many people's attention. Even if it is a commentary, it is inevitable to interpret the game from his perspective.
　　 "Damn it!"
　　 Stephenson gritted his teeth in angrily, he quickly turned around, leaned on Link with his back to force a breakthrough, and raised the basketball when he reached the free throw line.
　　 A realistic fake shot, so realistic that even Brockman is ready to fight for rebounds. However, Link was still not deceived. He was not ignited and jumped onto Stephenson, his body clinging to him.
At this time, even the head coach of the Crazy Ants Stephen Gansey shook his head. If any college player now wants to ask the coach what is a textbook perimeter defense, Gansey will definitely give the video of this round. Student players watch.
　　 Don't eat, don't lose position, and don't take off easily. Stephenson must have never seen such a defense in a street court in New York.
　　 Stephenson was forced to stop, so he began anxiously looking for his teammates. But the scheming Link did not give him a chance, seizing the opportunity, Link started everything.
　　 Stephenson lost control of basketball, UU reading www.uukanshu. com was robbed. As soon as the game started, Stephen gave Link a big gift with a mistake!
　　 "A steal, can you fight back!?" The commentator stood up excitedly.
　　 While on the court, Link was still slowly. At this time, many fans have found that he has the shadow of Grant Hill.
　　 Link knew that he didn't have the ability to run fast breaks, so he just made a long pass just after dribbling the ball.
　　 Brockman rushed forward, and when he received the basketball, there was no one in front of him!
　　 The next thing is simple, Brockman showed his two-hand dunks, and the blue team scored the first point of the game in the most exciting way!
　　 once again succeeded in eating pie, which is why Brockman is not facing Link now. With Link, Brockman wanted to score more easily.
　　 "Nice dunk, but this offense is mainly due to Link's beautiful defense. He stopped Stephenson in the first round. I don't know what Stephenson will do in the next game."
　　 After seeing Brockman complete the dunk, Link spread his hand at Stephenson.
　　 "You are right, being strong is not the key to winning basketball, but the brain is." Link pointed to his head, his actions and words undoubtedly angered Stephenson.
　　 Because everyone said he had a problem with his brain?
　　 I wanted to give the other party a slap in the face, but was humiliated. Stephenson must be in a very bad mood at this time.
　　 At the same time in the stands, I don’t know how many scouts there are, and they have secretly written a sentence in their notebook.
　　 "In any case, he deserves a 10-day short contract."
