: Nine: Early appearance?

　　 Sioux Falls Sky Forces is definitely the hottest team in the development league this year. Because in their formation, there are two players who have been released from the NBA.
　　 They are Luke Babbitt and Marshall University’s violent center Hassan Whiteside.
　　 Babbitt and Whiteside are both rookies this year. The former was selected with the 16th overall pick in the first round, and the latter was a second-round pick.
　　 Generally speaking, only marginal players who can't play in the NBA will come to the development league to play. But even such a player is a "big killer" level for the development league.
　　 Link remembers that before crossing over, he once watched the news about Yi Jianlian playing in the Development League. He still remembers that Yi Jianlian's performance in the Development League was very good, and there was no problem with averaging 20+10 per game.
　　 However, in the NBA, Yi Jianlian's performance is extremely unstable. Although I didn't want to admit it, at that time Yi Jianlian was indeed a marginal person.
　　 It can be seen that there is a huge gap between the NBA and the Development League. Most of the players or rookies that the NBA doesn't want to play in the development league can play dominant performances.
　　 Luke Babbitt is the same, although the white forward is temporarily unable to play in the NBA. But playing in the Development League this season, he has averaged 18.9 points and 6.3 rebounds per game.
　　 Therefore, the strength of the Sky Force team with two decentralized players is naturally not to be underestimated.
　　 Besides, Link also knows that Hassan Whiteside is not an easy guy. He knows very well that this center who cannot play in the NBA now will become an All-Star behemoth in the future. In the Development League, Whiteside averaged 3.2 blocks per game, which is enough to demonstrate his defensive talent.
　　 So this game is bound to be very hard for the blue team.
　　 "I want you to play an efficient offense and attack the opponent's inside line. You must bite your opponent on the offensive end!"
　　 Before the game started, Conor was nervously arranging tactics in front of the starting five. And the person in his mouth who needs to play an efficient offense is Joan Brockman.
　　 As the only player on the blue team to be released from the NBA, Brockman has always been high hopes. It's just a pity that he is a bit sorry for his status as an NBA player.
　　 Playing this season so far, Brockman has averaged only 15.1 points per game, and his three-point shooting percentage is only 23.7%. On the defensive end, he is more than rude, but not smart, and is often fouled by opponents.
　　 But what makes Conor even more troublesome is that Brockman is the only person he can expect. Against Luke Babbitt today, only Brockman can play against him.
　　 "You know, you know, just give me the ball." Brockman waved his hand impatiently, as if the coach was talking nonsense.
　　 At the beginning of the game, there was not much cheering in the stadium where only 2,000 people came to the table, but the basic conditions of the development league game were consistent with the NBA, such as the arena environment.
　　 Therefore, when Link sat on the bench to watch the game, he was a little excited. After all, this is his first time watching a professional basketball game live!
　　 "Link!"
　　 Just as Link looked around like a dumpling, Conor suddenly yelled at him.
　　 "I'm here!" Link hurriedly turned his head, his palms sweating with nervousness.
　　 "Be prepared at any time and remember, I don't want you to make mistakes as soon as you play like last time."
　　 Then, Conor said nothing more, instead focusing on the basketball court.
　　 Link shook his fist secretly. His performance in the training game yesterday must have left an impression on Conor. If Brockman can't do it later, Conor will definitely change himself to try. At that time, it is an opportunity to show yourself!
　　 The referee blew his whistle and the game officially began.
　　 Whiteside naturally won the first strike easily. His physical condition and athletic ability are absolutely top-notch in the development league.
　　 After the Sky Forces point guard took the ball through halftime, he gave it to college star Luke Babbitt without thinking. Joan Brockman posted it immediately, and the duel between the two white forwards attracted much attention!
　　 Brockman posted Babbitt very tightly, after all, Babbitt has always been a player known for his shooting.
　　 However, Babbitt did not take Brockman's defense at all. He directly broke through with the ball and made Brockman's life clean with just one step!
　　 "So fast!" Link widened his pupils. According to his memory before crossing over, Luke Babbitt did not have the ability to break through with the ball. His speed is not related to the word "fast" in the NBA.
　　 But in the development alliance, Babbitt's breakthrough seems so skillful.
　　 It has something to do with Link watching a professional game on-site for the first time, because even those CBA players who usually look slow on TV usually feel very fast after going to the scene.
　　 Babbitt succeeded in breaking through, and then bravely rushed into the post and started layup. Like Brockman, Babbitt is not a white soft man, and his style of play is very aggressive.
　　 In fact, if he is a soft man, he will not play in the NBA for so many years. Those who seem to have average physical fitness in the NBA are also top-notch presences in other leagues.
　　 The furious Brockman was going to chase him, but in the air he was surprised to find that Luke Babbitt was using his left hand to the basket!
　　Even NBA-level guards are rarely able to use the left hand proficiently, not to mention that Babbitt is a forward with a height of 2.06 meters.
　　 After all, this guy is born left-handed.
　　 Brockman was unable to chase the offense, but instead gave Babbitt a chance to play 2+1. Conor held his forehead helplessly. They were all delegated from the NBA. Why is the gap so big?
　　 gave the opponent a foul as soon as the game opened, and Brockman's performance even attracted boos from many home fans.
　　 But Brockman disagrees, he doesn't care about victory at all. The only thing this guy cares about is whether he can get good data.
　　 So in the next offense, Brockman did not cooperate with his teammates, and took the ball alone.
　　 However, his poor dribbling skills couldn't break Babbitt's defense. In the end, his layup could only end in iron.
　　 In the stands at this time, I don't know how many scouts have crossed Brockman's name. The gap between him and Luke Babbitt is straightforward.
　　 The next few rounds were a complete disaster for Brockman. On both offense and defense, he had nothing to do with Luke Babbitt.
　　 Babbitt’s projection is better than Brockman, and his height is 3 cm more than Brockman. And against Brockman, Babbitt did not fall behind.
　　 No matter how big you are in college, after UU Read www.uukanshu.com enters the professional basketball world, everything must start again. No one cares how you used to be, everyone just sees what you can bring to the team now.
　　Everything is better than others, the NBA will not want you. Want to enter the world's top basketball league and earn one million annual salary, the competition is so cruel.
　　 After four minutes of the first quarter, Luke Babbitt had already scored 7 points on Brockman! The blue team also fell behind by 5 points early, which undoubtedly made Conor very passive.
　　 Had it not been for Upshaw's three-pointer to pass the net just one round, the blue team is now behind more.
　　 So, the bald coach took the lead to stop the game, and Link and the other bench players also surrounded him.
　　Although the next tactics the head coach will talk about may not have anything to do with their substitutes, but they still have to go up and listen to them.
　　 Link stood on the periphery of the crowd, because as a marginal player, he didn't expect to be able to play this morning.
　　 But in the middle of the crowd, Link heard Conor's yelling.
　　 "Where's Link!? Link! Come here, come in the middle! Listen, I need you to go on the court and use the three-pointer to help the team approach the score! Try to run without the ball, and then take the opportunity!"
　　 Link swallowed, even a little distrustful of his ears.
　　 "What are you still doing!? Hurry up and take off your training suit!"
　　 At the same time, Joan Brockman became full of black lines. He knew that his trust in the head coach was already insufficient.
　　 "Hey, don't be nervous. Just like I did during training, I will pass you the ball."
　　 Upshaw patted Link on the shoulder, and the show was about to begin.
