26 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists, triple-double. Not to mention the others, even Link couldn't have imagined that his debut would be so successful.

Neither the heads-up with Upshaw on the street court nor the beating of Brockman on the training pitch has ever given Link so much confidence. But today's victory in this game has boosted Link's confidence. It seems that Grant. Hill's ability to dominate the development league is still very easy.

At the end of the game, all the fans stood up and cheered for Link. Although there were only about 2,000 fans in attendance, it was the first peak of Link's basketball career.

"Hahaha, I knew you could! Three pairs, man, three pairs! You've certainly caught the attention of quite a few NBA teams, and I'm sure it won't be long before you'll be on a ten-day contract! ”

Upshaw was the first to rush up and hug Link in celebration, and the guy was as excited as if he was the one who had cut the triple-double.

"It's still early, Zike, and we'll have to keep trying." Link patted Upshaw on the back and enjoyed the cheers of the audience.

As for college star Luke. Babbitt? No one knows where he is anymore. Winning the king and losing the defeat, these are the rules of competitive sports. Today, the undrafted Link's biggest star.

"That kid is great, where is he from?" When the two coaches shook hands, the Sky Power coach also cast envious glances at Connell.

Link's sophistication, composure and level on the pitch undoubtedly make him very popular with all coaches.

"A bastard kid from Fresno, who played in college for four whole years. I think today will be the starting point of his career. Connell smiled with satisfaction, why didn't he like the story of the ugly duckling turning into a white swan?

"Fresno? It's Paul. That Fresno University George attended? Unbeknownst to everyone, after hearing Link's whereabouts, the coach of the Sky Force team was taken aback.

"That's right, the same one who used to produce Alstom and Paul. George's Fresno University. It's a pity that some people are talented. And some people need to work hard. ”

Connell's eyes fell on Link, who believes his team will have a good chance of sending talent to the NBA.

If the blue team wants to attract the attention of the Thunder and become a subordinate team of the Thunder, they must show their ability to deliver talent. If a Development League team can't send any players to the NBA, what value does they have as a subordinate team?

After today's game, Conor decided to devote all of his energy and resources to Link. Sending Link to the NBA became a top target for Conor and the Blues.

Of course, Link is still unaware of the changes around him. The guy walked back to the locker room surrounded by his teammates and had a fantastic first night of his career. And the development of the entire basketball world began to deviate from the basketball world that Link was familiar with.

※※※

Link has never felt like life has ever felt so good, and three days ago, he was a dick silk graduate who was worried about life. Two days ago, he found himself lying in the hospital, looking at the blonde "foreign" nurse and the sudden change of body.

A day earlier, he had his first practice with a professional basketball team and had beaten a would-be NBA player in a practice game. And then today, he had a triple-double in professional basketball.

It's like a dream, and being a professional player is the dream of most basketball enthusiasts. At this time, Link is living in a dream.

Of course, a triple-double in the Development League isn't Link's ultimate goal. Entering the NBA and signing a guaranteed contract is his task at this time.

As Link sat in front of the locker in a daze waiting for Upshaw to take a shower, the cell phone in his hand rang.

On the third day of the time, Link's cell phone rang for the first time. After all, he didn't have many friends in Oklahoma. The only friend, Upshaw, is to be contacted by the horn downstairs. So for a few days, Link hadn't done a good job of researching what contacts were on his phone.

Therefore, when he saw the caller ID on his phone today, Link was completely confused.

"Paul. George. ”

Looking at the name on the caller ID, Link was in a trance. Paul. The name George is not unfamiliar to Link, who was a basketball fan in his previous life. As one of the league's most powerful stars, the name is thunderous. Although Link is not a fan of George, he has always had a crush on him.

Since the "broken leg incident", George has not only sunk here, but has been advancing all the way with his unyielding will. In the 18-19 season, when Link crossed over, George even played MVP-level stats.

It's such an NBA superstar who will be out of reach in the future, and now he is calling. This kind of thing, anyone will suddenly be in a trance.

Of course, there are a lot of people who have the same name in the United States. It's called Paul. George's, estimated in the thousands. Isn't there a joke that if you shout Howard on the street in the United States, a whole bunch of people will come back.

But Link was well aware that this Paul who called him. George is the Paul George who will call for wind and rain in the NBA in the future. Because according to Link's memory, he and George were also very good friends at Fresno University.

Swallowing his saliva, Link pressed the answer button. It's a fantastic feeling to talk to NBA superstars on the phone.

"Link! Hahahaha, I saw the news, you kid can, when did you practice the three-point shot? Well done man, I knew you could make it. Come on, I'm still waiting to play you in the NBA! ”

The phone has just been connected, Paul. George excitedly made a dozen bets. The two were already very acquainted, so George omitted those flattering words of greeting.

"Thank you for your encouragement, George. But to be honest, I'm still far from the NBA. Link was a little moved, after all, the news of the development alliance was relatively closed.

In the United States, the most popular basketball leagues are the NCAA and the NBA. The development league is not very popular, which is why the NBDL has an average attendance of only about 2,000 people per game.

As a result, most news outlets do not report on NBDL. It's like in China, you rarely see NBL news.

Unless one person deliberately pays attention, he can't get the news of an NBDL game right after that game.

And there is no doubt that Paul. George must have deliberately followed the news of Link and the Blues.

"Thanks? Come on, I didn't do anything, you created it yourself. Hey, no one knows your prowess better than I do, and I've always believed that you can play in the NBA. Don't give up, don't give up, okay? I persevered for four years of college, and it would be a shame if you gave up now. ”

George's words are very heartwarming, and as a rookie, he knows that it is not easy to survive in the NBA. And the competition in the NBDL is several times that of the NBA.

"Don't worry, George, I don't want to go to the big villa with my dad every day to trim the grass for me." Link smiled, and he suddenly felt that this Link was actually quite lucky.

Although basketball talent is average, he was not successfully selected. But at the very least, he made two reliable friends, Upshaw and George.

In this world, true friends are more rare than money.

Link and George then chatted casually, and both hung up. Before Link's phone screen could go out, a second call came.

This time, the name on the caller ID was "Old Man".

Link instantly became nervous again, as he was about to talk on the phone with his "father" whom he had never met......

"Hey......" After answering the phone, Link carefully shouted to the microphone.

"How's the head? Is there a big deal? "On the other side of the earpiece, it is spoken in Chinese. This is also the first time in so many days that Link has heard Chinese.

Although Link was born in the United States, his parents were from China. And since childhood, both husband and wife have taught Link to speak Chinese. In their opinion, it is difficult for a yellow-skinned, black-haired child to not speak his native language. Therefore, although Link is of Chinese descent, he speaks Chinese quite authentically.

An inexplicable sense of intimacy instantly came to my heart, and this intimacy came not only from the familiar language, but also from the greeting.

Everyone else only saw Link defeat Luke. Babbitt got a triple-double, but only the guy known as "The Old Man" was the first thing he asked about his health.

"Uh...... It's fine, the doctor said it's okay. Link replied at a loss that he was at a loss because he wasn't used to his "new family" yet. Second, Link hasn't had a father since he was a child. It seemed that this was the first time he had received a greeting from his father.

This feeling made him very unfamiliar.

"Well, your mom has been worried for days. The same is true for you, and you don't make a phone call to go home and report that you are safe. I won't talk to you, your mother has a lot to talk to you. ”

In just a few words, my father's words were finished. But at that time, Link was still in a daze.

Is this what it feels like to be loved by a father? It goes without saying, but it's all warm in my heart.

Then came the nagging from my mother. If you don't have enough money, you can tell your family, what supports you to continue playing basketball, and so on, that's your mother's line.

Unlike her father, her mother prefers to express her concerns. But Link didn't feel nagged, because his mother had left the family long before he crossed over. So, this is also the first time he has felt the happiness of being nagged when he is so old.

"Okay, let's go home when we have time. Your dad ostensibly wants you to come back and follow him, but in fact, he secretly pays a lot of attention to your news! Rest early, you are our pride! ”

Hanging up the phone, Link's smile didn't fade for a long time. Although he is not his biological parents, Link feels the warmth they bring. He found his new family more and more interesting.

Finally, Link's phone rang for the third time. This time, there was no caller ID on the phone, just a string of unfamiliar numbers.

When Link connected, he heard a young man's voice.

"Hello, Tom. Forest. My name is Carl. Jones, I hear you're missing a manager. ”

"Manager?" Link's heart was shocked, as if he smelled the smell of professional basketball.
