: Four: Teammate friendship? nonexistent

　　 Oklahoma Blues, an unremarkable team in the NBA Development League.
　　 This team has never won any honors, nor has it produced any impressive players. Even the history of this team is only two years.
　　 In 2005, Alves Heights moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma, and was renamed the Tulsa 66s. Two years ago, the Tulsa 66 team moved again, from Tulsa, the second largest city in Oklahoma, to Oklahoma City, the largest city, and renamed Oklahoma Blue.
　　 The team’s move is undoubtedly hoping to attract the attention of the NBA team Oklahoma City Thunder, hoping to become the Thunder team's development league team.
　　 That's right, the blue team has not yet been claimed by any NBA league parent team. Without the support of big sponsors, this kind of development league small team does not know how many years it can last.
　　 It is precisely because the blue team is not a subordinate team of any NBA team, so if the players here want to attract the attention of the NBA team, they need to play more outstandingly.
　　The people who are still here are all aiming to enter the NBA.
　　 Link just finished his breakfast the next day, and he, who lives on the third floor, heard a car whistle from downstairs of the apartment. Link put his head out the window and looked out, and found a dilapidated Chevrolet car parked downstairs.
　　 He made an appointment with Upshaw yesterday, and the two will go to the training hall to train together. Upshaw appeared on time today. In Link's memory, Upshaw has always been very reliable.
　　 Link took a deep breath, he is about to participate in the first training of his career! Although there is the memory of the owner of this body, it is not Link's personal experience after all. So for the training later, Link is still a little nervous.
　　 But when he remembered what happened on the basketball court yesterday, Link relaxed a lot. If he really has Grant Hill now, even if it is the ability of Grant Hill in his twilight years, he should be more than enough to play in the Development League!
　　Because Link remembers that Grant Hill in the Suns also contributed more than ten points per game in the NBA. A player who can score ten points in the NBA should have no major problems playing in the development league.
　　 Link clenched his fists, he must seize the opportunity to strive for a guaranteed contract from the NBA this season!

　　 "I didn't sleep last night."
　　As soon as Link got in the car, Upshaw started to complain.
　　 "Why?"
"I was scared by your performance. When did you practice shooting so accurately? And your body...there is no change in size, but I always think you are stronger." Upshaw Link's various performances yesterday still felt incredible.
　　 After shooting three-pointers yesterday, Link also tried the middle distance, and the result was also very accurate. In the end, Link and Upshaw had a few rounds of bullfighting.
　　 As a result, Upshaw was forced to sway by Link’s old stance and tough confrontation, making it difficult to move. But in the past, Upshaw could eat Link by his body! In the end, Link beat Upshaw with a 10 to 2. The only goal Upshaw scored was actually Link let go.
"Hey, I played very hard yesterday, and you just used the bullfight as a warm-up, so you couldn't squeeze me. You know, Coach Conor doesn't like me much recently, so I have to stay motivated at all times." Link Sorry to scratch his head.
"You are right. In the last game, you made two consecutive turnovers as soon as you played, and you did not perform well in training. Coach Conor is not bad, but your recent performance is indeed... Today’s training must be good, Link. I hope you can show the same performance last night."
　　 "I will work hard. With such a good sparring partner like you, how could I not improve?" Link said, stretching out his fist. Upshaw smiled knowingly and stretched out his hand to fist gently with the Chinese guy beside him.
　　 It seems that Link is used to having such a black American friend.
　　 More than ten minutes later, Link and Upshaw arrived at their training ground, which is also the home of the Oklahoma Blues, Antsy Stadium.
　　Although they are in the same city as the Thunder, because the blue team has no affiliation with the Thunder, it is impossible for the blue team to use the Chesapeake Energy Arena for competition and training.
　　 Although this Antsy Stadium is not as tall as the Chesapeake Energy Arena, it is not too small from the outside. According to the memory in Link's mind, this stadium, which can accommodate about 12,000 spectators, was transformed from an idle and abandoned stadium.
　　 Although the level of luxury is not as luxurious as the home court of an NBA team, for Link, who has never played professional basketball, it is also quite grand.
　　 "Hey, Zike, didn't you sleep yesterday? With such big dark circles."
　　 "Zike, came with Link?"
　　 "Morning Zike, how do you feel today?"
　　 After entering the training hall, many people greeted Link and Upshaw. Link looked at a professional player in the training hall and his eyes were blurred.
　　 These players are top players in most places, but in the United States, they can only play in the Development League with a meager salary. This shows how powerful the group of "birds and beasts" in the NBA is.
　　 Link also nodded at his teammates one by one. The previous Link was taciturn, not talkative, and would not offend anyone. Therefore, he was not isolated from the team because of his skin color. Of course, Link's relationship with everyone is not too good.
　　In the blue team, it seems that only the "familiar" Upshaw is willing to be friends with Link.
　　 Of course, not everyone in the team is so friendly to Link. Just as Link and Upshaw were about to go to the locker room, a strong white player with a black short head came out in the locker room.
　　 This gentleman looks very ferocious by looking at his face, without the slightest sense of elegance of a white player. After seeing Link, the brawny man smiled jokingly, "Weak Jilin, healed so soon? It doesn't matter if you have your head. Hahahaha, I didn't throw you off on purpose, but you are too thin."
　　 Link knows that chink, a word similar in pronunciation to chicken, has nothing to do with half a dime. In addition to the words used in the mouth of the strong man with a little bit of weakness, it also has strong racial implications. It's like saying "Nico" in front of a black man.
　　 "Enough of you, Joan! Stop pestering him, we are teammates, aren't we?" Upshaw pushed the strong white man to help Link out.
　　 "Hahaha, well, I won't pester him. But later on the training ground, I will have to pester him." The white man named Joan spread his hands and walked to the training ground.
　　Joan Brockman, selected by the Trail Blazers with the eighth overall pick in the second round of 2009, was immediately traded to the Sacramento Kings. Once the main forward of the University of Washington, able to swing in the 3rd and 4th positions, he is an agile "big white bear" with super excellent paint movement ability, offensive very aggressive, and fierce and powerful. He often roars, hugs, and destroys the basket on the court, which is by no means the usual white soft men.
　　 This guy played 52 games with the Kings last season, averaging 2.8 points and 4.1 rebounds per game, and spent the rest of his time in the development league.
　　 This season, Brockman was traded to the Bucks and played 15 games on behalf of the Bucks, averaging 2.2 points and 2.9 rebounds per game. Such embarrassing data caused Brockman to be thrown into the development league again, and then he became teammates with Link.
　　In the development league team, the friendship between teammates is far less profound. In particular, it is between two players in the same position. Because in the Development League, everyone's goal is to enter the NBA with outstanding performance. Therefore, teammates in the same position are more like competitors.
　　 Because of this, Brockman hasn't waited much to see Link. Because only by bullying the Asian forward in training can he keep his starting position. Only by keeping the starting position can he win the favor of NBA teams. UU reading www.uukanshu.cóm
　　 The day before yesterday, Link was chasing Brockman during training. As a result, Link who rose into the air was secretly made by Brockman, causing Link to fall to the back of his head and fainted.
　　 "Don't pay attention to him, that white skin always feels that he is above. Don't be influenced by him, and perform well in training later." After entering the locker room, Upshaw comforted Link.
　　 These so-called "civilized people" always look down on people of color, but sometimes they are actually more brutal than "barbarians".
　　 At first, the Americans said that Indians were barbarians, but how do they treat Indians?
　　 "It's okay, I don't care what the idiot said." Link waved his hand. He is not so second, and he will fight with others if they are wrong.
People like 　　 only appear in comics.
　　 Upshaw looked at Link again in astonishment. Link used to be a sassy young man. Why has Link's temperament changed drastically since he was discharged from the hospital?
"Of course," Link said to Upshaw while wearing the jersey, "I won't let him bully, you're right, I should concentrate on training. Then fight, let that guy take the humiliation. "
　　 Link is from 2019, and he has never heard of the name Joan Brockman before. This shows that Brockman has never made a name in the NBA in his entire life.
　　 A player who has never heard of it wants to fight Grant Hill? It's not that Link is arrogant, but he really has the ability to defeat the opponent!
　　 How did you bully the former Link, I can't control. But bullying me now? There are no doors!
