: Eight: Luke Chapterbitt

　　 Conor doesn't want to lose again.
　　 One month, 12 games, only 5 wins. There is no doubt that the blue team's record so far this season is very bad.
　　 One of the main reasons for this is that Joan Brockman has not met Conor's expectations. He originally thought that this kid who was released from the NBA could bring some victories to the team, but that guy hadn't shown anything other than playing big cards in training and making continuous mistakes on the court.
　　 Originally, Conor could comfort himself, saying that Brockman was uncomfortable because he had to switch to the third position.
　　 However, yesterday’s team training allowed Conor to recognize the fact that Brockman, the great white bear, has no potential to transform into a third position.
　　 He can't shoot, can't control the ball, he is a slow fool on the outside. Even Link can humiliate him on the third position, and Conor can't imagine what a disaster it would be to let him play the third position in a formal game.
　　 Speaking of Link, Conor was very surprised by the performance of the Chinese player in training yesterday. Since Brockman's insidious trick knocked on the back of his head last time, Link seemed to have changed himself. He, who usually doesn't like to talk, made trash talk with Brockman yesterday.
　　 The most important thing is that Conor was pleasantly surprised by the level that Link showed yesterday.
　　 Maybe Link broke out in front of Brockman because he was humiliated and eager to find face. But in any case, he did show some potential.
　　 Conor now dare not say whether Link can play in the NBA, but for the development of the league, he intends to let Link try.
　　Today's game, the opponent of the blue team will be the Miami Heat's subordinate team Sioux Falls Sky Force. The most threatening player on the Sky Forces is the white forward Luke Babbitt who was selected by the Timberwolves with the 16th overall pick in the first round of this year's draft.
　　 Luke Babbitt was very famous when he was in college. He is 2.06 meters tall and proficient in projecting. He can play two positions three or four. After being picked by the Timberwolves in the draft, he was immediately traded to the Trail Blazers, and because the Trail Blazers did not have a subordinate development league team, they threw him to the Sky Forces for training.
　　 is also the swingman No. 3 or 4. Luke Babbitt doesn't know how much better than Brockman. Thinking of this, Conor felt unfair. They were all put down from the NBA. How can someone get a Babbitt, but can only get a Brockman?
　　 If Brockman's performance continues to be sluggish today, Conor wouldn't mind giving Link some more time. If Link doesn't play well, he can change at any time. After all, this is a basketball game, and there is no substitution.
　　 But if Link can play well... Conor touched his bald head, if Link can play well, it will make a lot of money!
　　Many players are actually like this. Their efforts may not be visible at ordinary times, but they may suddenly show results at some point. Whether it's the NBA or the Development League, there are too many players who are suddenly born.
　　 Although Conor is not optimistic about Link's outstanding performance in front of Babbitt, this bald coach is very willing to do it without cost.
　　※※※
　　 As soon as Link opened his eyes today, he felt sore all over.
　　 Last night, he had been practicing in the training hall until 11 o'clock in the evening. However, even after such a long time of training, the little white bar in front of Link only increased a little progress.
　　 It seems that it takes a great price to grow into Grant Hill at its peak. As far as he estimated, at least one or two months of training every day, the progress bar can be filled.
　　 Now Link doesn't know whether he will retain his previous abilities after upgrading himself. For example, as we all know, Hill was very unstable when he was young. Is it possible to upgrade to the back and his three-point shooting ability will also degrade?
　　 Or, as the upgrade progresses, will oneself become a big synthesis of Hill's abilities in each period?
　　 The system he got was much rudimentary compared to the systems he saw in the novel. There were no tasks, no dialog boxes, and nothing. Just a progress bar and a description can be said to be extremely crude.
　　 But such a system is also good. He can control his life through hard work instead of being led by the system.
　　 Therefore, Link's only way to solve his doubts is to train hard and upgrade as soon as possible.
　　 And because I practiced too hard last night, my body couldn't stand it. Link really regrets that there will be an official game tonight. If his body aches and affect his performance, it will not be worth the loss.
　　 No matter how good you are, you have to show it on the basketball court. What use is it if no one else knows you are great?
　　 Link shook his head. It seems that in the future, he can't just practice stupidly. It's better to make a training plan.
　　 "Didi!"
　　 As always, Upshaw honked his car horn downstairs when Link got dressed.
　　 Link hurriedly bit two pieces of toast and rushed downstairs. On the first day of the official game, he was a little excited and a little nervous.
　　 After all, Link has never experienced what it's like to play in front of thousands of spectators.
　　 "Link, early!"
　　Upshaw greeted Link in the car. This guy is always optimistic.
　　 "How was your time at the car wash yesterday?" Link pulled the car door openly and fastened his seat belt.
　　 "The old way, I don't make much money, but I have enough food for two days. Link, today is the official game, how do you feel?"
　　 Upshaw is full of expectations for today's game, but not for himself, but for Link.
　　 Two days ago, he saw Link's three-point performance on the field next to the block. The bullfight also lost to him.
　　 One day ago, Upshaw witnessed Link blow up the "prince" who was released from the NBA. Brockman's expression was even more ugly than eating Xiang. Upshaw still remembers.
　　Today is the third day after Link was discharged from the hospital. What incredible things he could do, Upshaw had no idea.
　　 "The first time I played a formal game, I was a little nervous." Link said, and found Upshaw looking at him with surprise.
　　 He patted his forehead hurriedly, and then remembered that it was not the first time he played a formal game in the Development League. To be precise, it is not the first time this body has played a development league game. But for Link, it was indeed the first game.
　　 Unexpectedly, when I just said it casually, I missed it.
　　 In order to prevent the opponent from suspicion, Link immediately changed his words, "I mean, the first time I played a formal game after being discharged from the hospital, I was a little nervous."
"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous. If you make two mistakes as soon as you play like last time, Conor will definitely let you sit on the bench. By the way, yesterday I checked the Sky Force players during my break. List, guess who your opponent is today?"
　　 "Who?" Link trained so hard yesterday that he forgot to get to know his opponent.
"It's Luke Babbitt, a former high school student in Nevada! In the NCAA last season, he averaged 21.9 points per game! Moreover, he was delegated by the NBA! Do you know what this means? As long as you If you can beat him, you will definitely get the attention of many NBA teams!"
　　 Upshaw spit wildly beside him, while Link searched for information related to the name Luke Babbitt.
　　 This guy Link has an impression. He remembers 2019 before he crossed over. This guy is one of the Heat's rotation players.
　　 In his previous life, Luke Babbitt hadn't made a name for himself in the NBA in his entire life. Throughout his career, he has been a marginal figure.
　　In other words, this opponent is actually not as strong as Upshaw they thought. It's just that people now don't know all this, in their eyes, Babbitt is still a very powerful potential rookie.
　　 "Link, Link!? Are you listening?"
　　 "Uh...Well, I'm listening, Zike, where are we talking?" Link used an awkward smile to cover up the fact that he was distracted.
　　 "I said, if Brockman does not play well today, you must seize the opportunity. So, go all out, I will pass you the ball!"
　　Upshaw said, and stretched out his fist at Link. The two touched their fists lightly and continued to drive toward their NBA dream.
　　※※※
　　 In the arena, the stands are empty, and it seems that even a quarter of the seats are not full.
　　 But even so, the cheers from the fans on the scene were so loud that Link licked his lips nervously. The average attendance of the Development League is only about 2,000, but this kind of formation is shocking enough for Link.
　　 "Lin Ke, don't be distracted anymore today! Stay with me on the bench and be ready at any time. I don't want you to make consecutive mistakes as soon as you play like last time!"
　　 Just as Link was looking at his surroundings, a bald man in a suit yelled at him. The man's name is Vicson Conor, the head coach of the Oklahoma Blues.
"Oh...oh..." Link nodded his head mechanically. He looked around, looked at his jersey and the sturdy old blacks around him, and couldn't help swallowing. Swallow.
　　He really came, really stood on the professional basketball court! Although, this is just an NBA Development League game. But anyway, it's also professional basketball!
　　 Link is not the first time to play the NBDL game, UU reading www. uukanshu. com, but Link is indeed the first time to play NBDL. Because at this time, Link's body no longer belongs to his original master.
　　 When the rest of the team gathered to cheer each other up, Link was stunned, as if lost again.
　　 But his thoughts are actually alive. Link is thinking about all the incredible things that have happened to him in the past few days.
　　 Waking up in the hospital, inexplicably gaining the ability of Grant Hill, acquiring a system that can make him stronger, and defeating a fierce quasi-NBA player on the training ground...
　　 And now, he finally stood here, standing on the field of professional competition.
　　 Suddenly, Link heard cheers from the stands. He turned his head and saw a strong white player beckoning to the audience in the stands.
　　 This face Link is a bit strange, but judging from the reactions of the fans, he should be Luke Babbitt.
　　 Link's opponent today is also his springboard to the NBA.
　　 Link took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. To be a professional player that no one knows all his life and live a life of tightening his belt?
　　 No, from now on, he will let such days say goodbye to himself.
