Today’s training game is almost a shame to Brockman. As a player delegated from an NBA team, he should have ruled the development league. But today, he was beaten by an unknown second-round show.
That's right, it was blown up. Brockman's performance on the training ground today is very bad, on both ends of the offensive and defensive, he has nothing to do with Link.
On the defensive end, Link's three-pointers and shooting made Brockman very uncomfortable. In the past, Link didn't have long shots, so defending him only needed to release shots.
But today, as long as Link is given a little space, he can hit a long shot!
4 of 5 three-pointers. This is Link's report card today. Everyone on the blue team was surprised by Link's three-pointer, but Upshaw was laughing.
After all, he was surprised in advance last night.
This shooting percentage is actually not an exaggeration. On the training field, Grant Hill can indeed shoot so accurately when the opponent is not very defensive.
Link also remembers that Grant Hill made nearly 40% of his three-pointers in the 10-11 season. Although the small ball era had not yet begun at that time, there were not many three-pointers. But it's pretty good to get this data when averaging nearly 4 three-pointers per game.
That's the way it should be, so Link dared to throw a three-pointer on Brooke's head unscrupulously.
On the defensive end, Link also made Brockman very embarrassed. He made 4 turnovers today, of which 3 were intercepted by Link's ball, and once he dribbled out of bounds under Link's defense. In the back attack, Brockman's crude technique did not pose too much threat to Link.
In the entire 20-minute training game, Brockman only scored 2 points and made 1 of 9 shots...
"Big White Bear" undoubtedly proved to Conor today that he does not have the strength and possibility of transforming to play a small forward. With his ball-handling ability and offensive level with the ball, it's strange that he won't be robbed ten times a game in the NBA.
And what irritated Brockman even more was that Link kept spraying trash at him throughout the game. From the first three-pointer to the last steal, Link's broken mouth never stopped.
Brockman became more and more impatient under Link's ravages. And the more irritable he was, the worse he played.
After the 20-minute training match, Link's team won by 13 points. At the end of training, Brockman's only gain was his teammates' complaining glances.
He took too many shots by himself, but only made one goal. Unless you are Kobe, whoever plays this kind of efficiency will be blinded by his teammates.
"Beep toot!"
In the end, it was Conor's whistle that rescued Brockman from the abyss of terror. Link gently placed the ball on the wooden floor, with an expression that was still not enough.
"You have to be grateful that this is just a 20-minute training game, Joan. Otherwise, you might never want to play basketball in your life." After the training game, Link looked at Brockman playfully.
Today, I am exaggerated. And he performed well in the training game, and he will definitely be paid attention to by the coach! Playing time, Link wants only playing time.
Looking at the dazzling Asian appearance in front of him, Brockman was not angry. He gritted his teeth and turned around and walked back to the locker room alone, but the rest of the blue team had nothing to do with clapping their hands!
Finally, someone can clean up the so-called "NBA player" who is proud!
Seeing Brockman walking to the locker room on his own, Vixon Conor did not stay. Anyway, delegated players like them will be recalled from time to time. Conor doesn't care whether he has a good relationship with others.
"Everyone did well in today's training, especially you, Link, you made everyone shine today."
Conor did not hesitate to use words of beauty on Link, and the others around Link nodded in agreement. Some who were close to Link even reached for high-five.
The memory of the previous owner of this body tells Link that he is not popular here. But today, he has become the focus of the team.
So, this is competitive sports. In competitive sports, victory means everything. Wasn't Yao Ming looked down upon by O'Neal when he first entered the NBA? But why did O'Neill respect Yao Ming later? Isn't it because Yao Ming's strength convinced him.
As long as you can win, many things will be solved, including gaining the respect of others.
"But don't be complacent. For tomorrow's game, I hope everyone can do their best! Okay, this is the end of today's training, everyone disbands!
Conor clapped his hands and turned to leave. Only the players were left on the court, walking in groups to the locker room.
"Hahaha, you are amazing! Have you seen Brockman's expression!? He is like a stupid big guy who is bullied and wants to go home to find his mother! Hahahahahaha!"
After the team disbanded, Upshaw was the first to ran to Link and laughed wantonly.
"Seriously, you made me want to be smashed in the back of the head. You guy, behaved better than ever." The cheerful black guard couldn't help touching the back of his head. If he comes too Then suddenly become more powerful, maybe the NBA has hope.
Well, of course, there is a possibility of death.
Before entering the NBA and losing his life, Upshaw must first consider survival. Although it's only the middle of the month today, he has few money in his pocket. After all, everyone in the family depends on him.
"Link, shall we go to the car wash this afternoon?"
"Car wash?" Link was a little surprised, "You want to wash the car?"
"Which car to wash, you forgot, my cousin Roger said that if we go to a car wash part-time job at night, we can make $50 a day! Going for 20 days a month, that's also $1,000!"
"Part-time... part-time?" Link looked at Upshaw in disbelief. Are you not a professional player?
But soon, Link put away his surprised expression. Because "his" memory tells him that it is common for Development League players to do other jobs while playing.
The point guard from Link's team today is a middle school teacher. Will only be there when the game is about to be played. Brockman’s inside partner is said to be a barber...
And Link and Upshaw are even more powerful, and they are just two "travelers". To put it nicely, they are professional players. To put it hard, it means that they don’t have a job and they like daydreaming.
But people always want to eat properly, and power generation with love alone is not enough. Therefore, Link once and Upshaw went to the car wash part-time several times.
Work until one or two in the middle of the night, and get up early for training the next day. This is the day to develop league players. Sports cars, the media, and spending money have nothing to do with them.
Link looked at Upshaw, suddenly a little sad. What are players like them insisting on? Go to Europe or go to CBA, most of them can get a decent salary.
But this group of "dead brains", they just cling to the closest pass to the NBA. Link shook his head, one foot in the door, another foot outside. This group of people subverted Link's perception of the word "professional player".
Yes, there are not only writers in this world, but also writers. There are not only singers, but also bar singers. There are not only people covered by the halo, but also people outside the halo
There is not only the NBA, but also a dark corner called the NBA Development League...
"Go ahead, Zike, I want to practice more tonight."
Thinking of this, Link shook his head. He now has a chance to escape this fate, and he doesn't want to waste it.
Fill up the progress bar through training early and improve his strength, so he can enter the NBA early. If he could, he would hire Upshaw as his trainer. Even this makes more money than playing in NBDL.
In short, in any case, training, playing and getting attention is the only way Link can change his destiny!
"Practicing?" Upshaw was surprised, then smiled and shook his head, "I know, why your kid has improved so much. Well, if you don't have a place to eat tonight...my house welcome any time."
Upshaw patted Link on the shoulder and walked out of the basketball court. If he can, he also wants to stay and practice. But there is no way, Link only needs to solve his own food and clothing. And Upshaw, he is the pillar of the family.
"Thank you, Zike."
"Cut, see you later!"
Watching Upshaw leave the training hall, Link bit his lip.
He can't save all the development league players, but at least he can save himself and Upshaw.
So Link began to practice his spot-on shooting. He knows that with his current physical fitness, the only thing he can impress an NBA team is shooting!
The NBA has always welcomed a three-pointer with precision.
The basketball bounced back again and again on the hardwood floor, and the "little white bars" in front of Link's eyes were slowly filling...
