006: You play like ......
"Stinky boy, give me less pride!"
Seeing Link showing off his might in front of him, Brockman was naturally very unhappy. In previous training sessions, Brockman would not give Link any chance to score. Provocation? That's something Link wouldn't dare to do.
But today, Brockman finds Link unexpectedly arrogant, as if he were a different person.
But the Washington graduate, the forward won't be bluffed, and he knows how inaccurate Link's three-point shot is. The goal just now, it must have been just luck!
A person may be lucky enough to score one or two threes in a game, but it is impossible to keep being lucky.
Brockman told himself that he had to keep a clean sheet against that damn yellow-skinned monkey after that!
In the other half, Link's confidence was boosted by the goal he had just scored. Last night, although he won the bullfight against Upshaw, Upshaw did not use his full strength, and he was playing with Link.
So, winning Upshaw didn't make Link much happy.
But just now, he scored on the head of a real professional. This means that Link really has what it takes to stand out in the development league.
Nonsense, Grant. Hill just can't even play in the Development League, no matter how bad he is. And Link, who has Hill's abilities, is no different.
So, on the defensive end, Link also became extremely excited because of the successful goal just now. He raised his arms, intent on fighting Brockman to the death.
Link's arms are very slender, and at 2.03 meters tall, he has an arm span of 2.18 meters. It's not a pervert, but it's not short. It was because Link had the advantage of height and reach that the blue team signed him.
It's just that I didn't expect that this Chinese-American player from Fresno couldn't fight against it, and he couldn't shoot the basketball, but his defensive attitude was slightly commendable.
But Link is different now, and he can accomplish a lot with his long arms.
Brockman demanded the ball from his defenders just after half-time, and he wanted to score in front of Link himself.
Brockman is, after all, a player who came down from the NBA, so he has some say. Therefore, the point guard did not refuse his request.
So, in the second round in a row, Link and Brockman faced each other. Only this time, the attacker and defender switched positions.
Most people, including Connor, who was overseeing the game from the sidelines at this time, were not optimistic that Link would be able to guard Brockman. It may have been luck that he had just scored three points, but there was no luck on the defensive end that could help you.
Brockman weighed a full 18 pounds more than Link, which is a real 18 pounds there. Luck, there is no way to make Brockman lose weight instantly.
Most players are ready for the next round of defense and offense, because Brockman has been able to easily lean on Link to get to the basket and then choose whether to dunk or go to the basket depending on the mood.
However, since Link actually provoked Brockman just now, then there is a chance that the "Great White Bear" will pull the basket.
"Die, bastard!" Brockman started dribbling, but in Link's opinion, he was not very good at dribbling, and he could even be said to be very lame.
After all, Brockman has always played power forward in college, and most of the time he doesn't need to be on the ball to score. So attacking with the ball isn't actually Brockman's forte.
"Big White Bear" dribbled the ball towards Link.
"Bang!" The muffled sound between the two of them due to the collision of muscles made Upshaw on the side feel painful, and he wanted to help him go over to help Link. However, as soon as he thought that he was also a good shooter opposite him, Upshaw dismissed the idea of supplementing the defense.
"Gotta hold on, Link!" Upshaw prayed in his heart.
Link was indeed pushed back a few steps by Brockman, who also took advantage of the victory to chase after him, relying on his weight to force him under the basket.
Grant at the end of his career. Hill's confrontation ability is average, not to mention that Link is still facing a player who is nearly 20 pounds heavier than him.
Link knew that he couldn't carry it if he wanted to. But Grant. Hill's defense has never been won by brute force. As a Hill fan, Link remembers the 2010 Western Conference Finals, Suns vs. Lakers. Grant. Hill is the Suns' best defense of Kobe Bryant, and every moment of his defense of Kobe Bryant is a textbook of ball-handling defense.
Although that year, Kobe Bryant still defeated the Suns and Ciels with his super scoring ability. But it was Kobe Bryant, one of the league's most dangerous scorers. You can use Grant. Hill's ability to deal with a Brockman is more than enough.
What's more, this is still a "extended arm" version of Grant. Hill.
Just as Brockman entered the box and was about to lift the basketball to complete the smashing dunk, he suddenly realized that the basketball was not listening to him. Looking down, it turned out that Link had cut off the basketball at the moment when he was about to take three steps!
"What!?" Brockman didn't expect to lose, he was forced to make a mistake by a draft loser!
Equally surprised was Connell, who was supervising the game on the sidelines, and Link had just cut the ball just at the right time! An ordinary undrafted draft can't make such a judgment. If he could, he wouldn't have been defeated!
But miraculously, Link just did it.
After cutting the basketball, Link directly launched a long pass in the backcourt and found Upshaw, who had forgotten to run to the frontcourt.
Grant. Hill is one of the brightest players in the league, with excellent passing vision and playmaking, as well as his ability to read the game. Naturally, Link also inherited these characteristics of Hill.
If it weren't for the injury, titles like "the most versatile small forward" would have been used on Hill, not James.
Upshaw caught the basketball steadily, and Link's long pass was just right. The black guard, who is 1.98 meters tall, looked at his position, just outside the three-point line!
So, Upshaw didn't hesitate and shot a three-point jumper! A three-point chase in a conversion offense, hollow down!
"Hahaha, good pass, Link." Upshaw let out a cheerful shout after the goal, then pointed to Link in gratitude.
Link also pointed at Upshaw, in response.
And beside Link, Brockman's face was already purple. Link, who has traveled back in time since 2019, really wants to tell Brockman, "Your face looks so similar to Thanos." ”
Well...... It's better to say that you play like a rookie king.
It's a pity that the stupid big guy must not understand these stalks. If you want to talk trash talk, you have to take into account whether others can understand it, which is also one of the troubles of the traverser.
"Keep it up, Link! Go on! ”
On the sidelines, the bald cardinal Connell of the blue team actually cheered up Link. The coach didn't really like Brockman's arrogant attitude, and he always felt that he was delegated from the NBA, and he was superior to these "native" NBDL players.
Brockman's attitude has long made Conor give him negative points.
And Conor was eager to see what else that Link's kid could do. This guy might start to cash in on his talent?
"The warm-up is over, idiot!" Brockman was so angry that he could always easily defeat Link, and how could he accept the fact that he was defeated by Link all at once.
Isn't it laughable that a player who was dropped from the NBA was defeated by a draft loser?
So this time, Brockman didn't dwell on Link outside the three-point line. What a small forward play, to hell with it! This time, Brockman plans to shine the yellow-skinned guy with his favorite low-post attack!
Brockman sat inside, stuck Link with his back, and raised his hand for the ball.
Others are already starting to be a little dissatisfied with Brockman, and co-authoring the entire training session allows you to take advantage of the performance opportunity alone?
But considering Brockman's emotions, the point guard still hoisted the ball in.
Brockman was dominant in the low post when he was at university, scoring a high percentage of goals. But the way he scored the goal wasn't by skill, but by elbowing the unlucky guy who was defending him and forcing it to the frame.
But Link doesn't eat this set, and Hill's bottom plate in the twilight years is very stable, but it's not so easy to move. And Link also held Brockman's waist very chickenly, making it inconvenient for him to exert his strength. Using the experience of an NBA veteran ruffian to deal with a young man is honestly a bit of a bully.
But Brockman didn't know this, and he thought he was bullying Link.
Brockman pushed back twice hard, and found that the effect was mediocre. He tried to turn his back and break through again, but found that the route had already been strangled by Link.
"Damn!" Brockman lost his patience and everyone watched. This time the offense has to be fought if it has a chance, and it has to be fought if it doesn't have a chance! If you pass the ball, won't that prove that you are cowardly!?
So, Brockman rolled over and made a jumper. However, turnaround jumpers aren't Brockman's forte. Moreover, his height of 2.01 meters has no advantage under Link's height and reach.
Link raised his arms high and didn't even jump before he interfered with Brockman's shot.
Sure enough, the shot of the "Big White Bear" came out of the frame, and the offense failed again!
His teammates all gave Brockman disgusted looks, and it was assumed that he should have just passed the ball. If you're going to hit hard, then score the ball. If you can't score and don't pass, you think you're "Peter Pan"?
"You're as soft as a cupcake, Joan." Link didn't forget to spew trash words at Brockman, and then ran forward to participate in the attack.
Link in his previous life was not a "good person", he would not take the initiative to provoke others, but if someone provoked him, he would not cowardly choose to escape.
Because Link has always believed that respect is mutual. If you don't respect me, why should I respect you?
Upshaw respects Link, so Link is naturally gentle with him. Brockman doesn't respect Link, so he'll be treated accordingly.
After the attack, Link hit a one-and-a-half-volley from mid-range and successfully led the team to a wave of 7-0 offensive.
Three-pointers, mid-range shots, defense, and smart passing...... Connell was quite happy with Link's performance today, and it seems that the fall the day before yesterday woke him up.
The bald coach touched his chin, and in the next game, maybe he could increase the playing time of the Chinese.
If Link can maintain his form, he should be the X-factor for the blue team.
