Vickson Conor has been very upset lately because his team record is a bit unsatisfactory.
The new season has started for more than a month. The Blue team has played 12 games but only won 5 games so far.
Although the development league games are far less high-profile than the NBA, in competitive sports, performance is everything. Even if it is just a development league team, it must work hard for better results.
If the results are not good, the team owner may stop playing one day. After all, only teams with better results and more potential can be favored by NBA teams. Why is the Oklahoma City Thunder still indifferent to the blue team in this age when most NBA teams have a subordinate team?
Isn’t it just that the blue team’s level is too low for others to look down on.
If it can't attract NBA teams to acquire, it is actually difficult for the small development league teams to survive. Once the team disbands, everyone has to finish.
Just as Vixon Conor was at a loss, he saw Link, who had been knocked out the day before yesterday, stepped into the training ground. Conor greeted him immediately. He didn't care about Link, but didn't want life in his training hall.
"Link, you can rest a few more days." Conor, with his bald head, walked up to Link and checked the back of his head.
"It doesn't matter the coach, the doctor said that I have nothing to do." Link waved his hand. From now on, he doesn't want to waste any chance of exposure. And if you want to be exposed on the field, you must first impress the coach in training.
Otherwise, where does Link get the chance to play in the NBA? If you don't play in the NBA, will Link really want to be a gardener? Then after crossing over, continue to live a life of poverty?
Therefore, Link will never accept things like going home to rest. And in order to fill up the progress bar as quickly as possible, Link wanted to train with high intensity every day.
"Your appearance the day before yesterday was really scary. You actually fell into a faint. Well, you won't participate in today's confrontational training. Just practice shooting and pace." Conor is still not at ease, after all, Link used to His physical resistance is indeed too poor.
Several times, Conor worried that Link would be broken by Brockman. What's more, Link just came out of the hospital.
"It's okay, I can do it. If I can't hold on, I will take the initiative to tell you."
"That's right, Boss. Link, this kid is in great condition, you will definitely be surprised!" Upshaw helped, and he had seen how good Link was in last night.
"Hahahaha, don't worry, you will be unable to hold on for up to three minutes."
Hearing the conversation between Link and the coach, Joan Brockman, who was warming up on the side, made a silly chat.
"Okay, Brockman, when you are training today, you should move a little bit! This is a basketball court, not a boxing ring!" Conor responded badly. Although the coach was harsh, he was not a black and white person.
He doesn't care much about a player's fame and skin color, only whether a player can help the team win.
The United States is indeed a particularly racist country, but not everyone is like this.
"Anyway," Conor patted Link on the shoulder after Brockman shouted, "Be careful during training today."

The daily training time of development league teams is not long, and it is far less systematic and complicated than NBA. After all, most people who play in the NBDL have to do part-time jobs, because playing basketball alone is not enough to feed the players in the development league.
Only those players who are targeting the NBA will find time to practice on their own.
And in NBDL, coaches generally don't deploy too complicated tactics. Because in this league, players mostly focus on personal performance and rarely cooperate. Only when everyone fully demonstrates their worth can they be signed by an NBA team.
Therefore, players don’t have to struggle to run tactics and remember tactics, as long as they know some basic tactics, they can play.
When warming up, Link has been conscientiously running the basket, trying to adapt to his new body and the ability of the old Hill.
During shooting practice, Link didn't try a three-pointer either. Others don't find it strange, after all, before, Link would not shoot three-pointers. But Upshaw was a little puzzled. Link practiced a good three-pointer, so why didn't he show it?
"Why didn't you shoot three pointers, man." A curious Upshaw approached Link and asked.
Link smiled mysteriously, the kind of uneasy smirk, "It's not the time yet, Zick."
Finally, after a long warm-up and individual individual training, Conor blew the whistle on his chest and signaled everyone to gather towards him.
The players are all immediately cheered up, and the confrontation training is about to begin!
Brockman smiled very happily. In the NBA, his only fun every day is to ravage Link on the training ground.
Being abused everywhere in the NBA, to abuse others after falling into the NBDL will make Brockman a sense of accomplishment.
Link did not fear today, but stared at Brockman’s eyes and laughed. Link was not very confident before, so he had not dared to look directly into Brockman's eyes. After all, Brockman's looks are very vicious.
But today, Link not only dared to look directly at him, but also dared to laugh so jokingly.
"Damn idiot, I see you can still laugh later!" Brockman clenched his fists, he didn't mind letting his "good teammate" fall again.
"Today's first round of confrontation training, I don't want to see too fierce confrontation. Everyone is looking for the feeling, there will be a game tomorrow. The group is the same as usual, go on the field, and show me performance that can impress me." Connor Er simply said a few words, then clapped his hands.
The players dispersed and found their own group. Conor's training uses a mix of starters and substitutes. After all, in the development league, the positions of the starters and substitutes are constantly changing.
Maybe you are the starter today, but if there is a team delegating players in the NBA tomorrow, no matter how well you performed before, you have to roll down and sit on the bench. Maybe you are the starter today, but tomorrow you will perform better in the same position as you. So the same, get out and sit on the bench.
So in NBDL, there is no clear concept of substitutes and starters. Everyone can be a starter, and everyone can be a substitute. This is mainly based on performance. So sometimes, the competition in the development league is actually more cruel than the NBA.
Link and Upshaw are a pair, serving as shooting guard and small forward respectively. Link's old rival Brockman is on the other team, also playing a small forward.
In fact, when he was in college, the wild Brockman was a typical "muscle man in the fourth position." But at 2.01 meters, he entered the NBA and still played the fourth position, which seemed a bit too short. But if playing the third position, Brockman was too slow in the NBA and didn't shoot.
Four years in college, Brockman only scored one three-pointer. Most of the time, Brockman hardly went inside to finish. Shooting? what is that?
His inconsistent positioning is exactly the reason why Brockman is not satisfied in the NBA. This time he was delegated, Brockman's goal is undoubtedly hope to transform to play the third position. So in the blue team this season, Brockman played against Link most of the time.
Because it was a training match, there was no jump ball in the middle circle, and Link directly sent the baseline ball.
After the point guard pushed the ball through halftime, Upshaw was the first to look for.
Upshaw has averaged 9.8 points per game for the blue team this season, which is not high. But the three-point shooting percentage is 38.6%, the blue team's most reliable three-point shooter.
At the same time, Link was looking for a three-point shot. The reason why he didn't shoot three-pointers when he just warmed up was to wait for now.
"Silly big guy, I'm going to score there later." As Link confronted Brockman, he pointed outside the three-point line.
"Hahahahaha, who do you think you are? Larry Bird? You go, I don't bother to guard you." Brockman almost didn't burst into tears. Link's three-point shooting percentage, come on .
Seeing that Brockman was so slack, Link seized the opportunity, pushed Brockman secretly, and then quickly ran beyond the three-point line. UU reading www. uukanshu.com
Brockman really didn't chase, he was ready to watch Link's joke.
Upshaw saw this and passed it with his heart, and only he knew what would happen later!
"Let them startle, Link!" Upshaw said to himself basketball.
Link ran to the position he had just pointed, received the ball, faced the basket, jumped, shot, and shot.
His movements were completed in one go, which made Conor's eyes shine.
A simple shot, but it embodies Link's basic skills. He doesn't look like a failed draft pick, but more like an old ruffian who has been in the professional league for decades.
And most importantly, that kid actually shoots three points? He never made a three-pointer before.
"Link, you kid..."
Conor was about to yell at him, but his voice was interrupted by the rolling sound of the Nets.
"...Good shot! Just shoot it!" Conor almost scolded the words "worse grass", but immediately changed his words.
Basketball hollowed into the net and hit a three-pointer!
After the goal, Link pointed to his feet, and then looked at the "Big White Bear" Brockman with a wrong face.
"I said, I want to score here."
After spraying the trash, Link stepped back, then gave Upshaw who assisted him with a light high-five.
He suddenly realized that it was really cool to knock down his opponent on the court.
