: Thirty: Slaughter the Snake (1)

　　 As always, Link always wakes up before the alarm goes off.
　　In the cramped rental house, he briefly washed, picked up two slices of toast, and sat at home listening carefully.
　　 But Link suddenly reacted. It is impossible for him to hear Upshaw honking the horn downstairs today, and he cannot hear it again afterwards.
　　 With a wry smile, Link picked up the equipment he needed to wear today and prepared to leave.
　　 Upshaw’s next chapter will be written by him himself.
　　 Link was the first to arrive at the arena, a habit he developed during his short 10-day trip to Houston.
　　 After so long of hard work and the baptism of three NBA games, Link's progress bar is about to be filled. In other words, playing different levels of competition, the progress bonus obtained is also different.
　　 Link took out his basketball shoes, and Te suddenly remembered that Upshaw had said that if he entered the NBA, he would give himself a pair of basketball shoes.
　　 Now, Link has written two words on his basketball shoes.
　　 "R.I.P.Zeke (rest, Zeke)."
　　 From now on, Zick Upshaw will fight with Link.
　　 Link Kejia practiced for more than forty minutes before his teammates arrived one after another. It can be seen that everyone is very motivated today, and no one wants to lose against the background of Upshaw's death.
　　 Of course, everyone also wanted to help Link to breathe a sigh of anger and let the Rockets see the strength of development league players.
　　 Before the game, the players went back to the locker room to change their jerseys. Link did not walk to his locker, but sat in front of Upshaw's locker and wore Upshaw's No. 0 jersey on him.
　　 "Link?" Conor looked at Link in amazement. He thought Link was so tired that he had worn the wrong jersey in a trance.
　　 "Coach, I want to wear the No. 0 jersey from now on. I can't prepare a new jersey now. Can I wear Zike directly?"
　　 Link looked at the number on his chest and smiled slightly. In the past, his No. 5 jersey actually didn't make any sense. It was just because the team assigned him No. 5 when he played in junior high school, so he has been wearing No. 5 until now.
　　 But now, Link has really found his own jersey number.
　　 No. 0, starting from 0, go forward courageously. On the 0th, with Upshaw's expectations, move forward bravely.
　　 The entire locker room looked at Link, and no one was more qualified to wear Upshaw’s jersey than Link.
　　 After listening to Link’s explanation, Conor nodded and didn’t stop him. "I will discuss with the referees. Today, No. 0 belongs to you."
　　 Link stood up, Upshaw’s jersey was a little shorter for him, but it was harmless. He looked at his teammates in the locker room, then raised his right fist.
　　 "Today, let us win a victory for Zeke!"
"Roar!"
　　 Everyone in the locker room yelled at the load. At that moment, the Chinese in the No. 0 jersey seemed to be a brave army commander.
　　 At that moment, Conor believed it too. That kid will be successful.

　　 The Rio Grande Valley Viper team may be the most familiar development league team for Chinese fans. After all, in the future, Chinese player Zhou Qi will play for the Viper team.
　　 The Viper team has better luck than the Blue team. They have always had the support of NBA teams. In the 07-08 season, the Vipers belonged to the Cleveland Cavaliers. In the 08-09 season, the Vipers were acquired by the New Orleans Hornets.
　　 Since the 09-10 season so far, the Vipers have been affiliated with the Houston Rockets. Compared with the blue team, the Viper team at least need not worry about their livelihood, and don't have to worry about the day the team will be disbanded.
　　 So, compared with the players of the Blue team, the Viper players seem to be very relaxed today.
　　 Among them, DeMarre Carroll is the most relaxing one.
　　 Carroll was selected by the Grizzlies with the 27th overall pick in the first round of 2009. He played 71 games for the Grizzlies, averaging only 2.9 points per game.
　　 This season, he was traded to the Rockets. But because there was no chance in the Rockets, he was sent to the Development League for training.
　　Carol is very active in playing and dare to fight. Although depressed in the NBA, but in the development league, it is a storm.
　　 Today, the Viper team had long known that Link would be on holiday, and Carol thought that besides Link, he would no longer have an opponent. Therefore, he is very relaxed at this time. Today's game is destined to be ruled by him.
　　 However, ten minutes later, when DeMarre Carroll saw Link playing with the team to warm up, he couldn't help swallowing.
　　Carol knows Link very well. Some time ago when the Rockets chose to give Link a 10-day short contract instead of recalling him, he was a little angry. If a person loses the draft, why can he be in the Rockets before himself?
　　 During that time, Carol checked a lot of information about Link. Of course, he also saw his triple-doubles on Luke Babbitt and double-doubles on Stephenson.
　　 After this, Link played quite well in the Rockets' three games, which made Carroll recognize Link's strength. He knew very well that the Chinese was indeed better than himself.
　　 Therefore, seeing Link seems to be playing today, Carol just swept away in a relaxed posture.
　　 Link, who was warming up, seemed to see someone staring at him, so he turned to look at Carol.
　　 The two of them faced each other, and Link's ferocious eyes made Carol drop his head directly.
　　 Even so, Link still stared at his counterpoint. An ordinary victory can't satisfy Link's appetite. What he needs is a big victory, a massacre! Grant Hill is not afraid of a fringe player in the NBA, nor is Link!
　　 Demare. Carroll Link actually knows him. Since the 13-14 season he played for the Atlanta Hawks, Carroll has gained a firm foothold in the NBA. Although he is not a star, he is also a quasi "3D" player who can average ten points per game.
　　 As of 2019, when Link has crossed over, Carol's peak is also a qualified starter. Grant Hill was also able to do what Carroll could only do during his loneliest period.
　　 Thinking of this, Link's confidence increased. Carl Jones, Morey, and Upshaw, watch them all. The real struggle begins today!

　　 "Hello everyone, audience friends, welcome to watch the live broadcast of the Development League game. I believe everyone has been looking forward to today's game for a long time. The Vipers have come to Oklahoma City and are about to face Link, who has just been abandoned by the Rockets!"
　　 The game hasn't started yet. On the commentary stage, the Oklahoma local commentator was already thrilled with excitement.
"The Rockets gave up the contract extension with Link. This is definitely a stupid decision! I believe that young man will prove it today. The departure of Zick Upshaw has dealt a huge blow to all of us, including Link. . But the strong blue team will not fall down, and Link will definitely turn grief into strength and let the invading Houstonians return empty-handed!"
　　 Before the game started, the blue team held a silent ceremony for Upshaw. At that moment, UU read www.uukānshu. The com audience was silent, even the fans stood up in silence.
　　 After the silence was over, Link bounced around and moved his body. It can be seen that he is extremely excited today.
　　 is also at this time, the commentator and fans have discovered that Link is different today.
　　 "Wait, what Link is wearing today is not his No. 5 jersey, but Zeke Upshaw's No. 0! He intends to wear Zeke's players to replace his friends!"
　　 At this moment, more than 3,000 fans across the arena cheered for Link's move. But Link was unmoved, his eyes never moved from Carol from start to finish.
　　 Carol was stared at by Link so much. That guy didn't come to the game at all, but came desperately!
When 　　 jumped the ball, Carol was forced to stand beside Link. As a small forward, he has to stand around the midfield line.
　　 "Man, tell me a word to Morey."
　　 As soon as Carol approached, Link spoke to him.
　　 "Tell him, this is my gift to him."
　　 After that, the referee throws the basketball and the blue team wins the first strike.
　　 Link immediately jumped into the frontcourt, and Carol, who was somewhat frightened, could not keep up for the first time.
　　 With this gap, the blue team's point guard directly hit the ball quickly, hitting the ball into Link's hands, and the blue team would play a quick attack as soon as they came up!
　　 Link received the basketball, strenuously, jumped up in the paint zone and hung the frame with both hands!
　　 As soon as the game started, Link used a "hammer attack", which scared Carol into a shiver.
　　 Link landed and patted number 0 on his chest. A massacre against the Viper team officially kicked off!
