025: Opening scoring

Jordan. Hill was just trying to grab a rebound at first, but he didn't expect Jermaine. Taylor was so iron-headed that he was actually blocked.

But with Dayer going to make up for Taylor, Hill is still unmarked around. Looking at the basketball flying into the bottom right corner, Hill thought to himself that someone could pass the ball, even if it was just throwing it into the air, and he would be confident that he could dunk it. After all, he was unmarked.

But then again, who could see such a hidden opportunity?

That No. 5 Chinese? Forget it, he hasn't practiced with the team at all, not to mention that he's just a draft loser.

But what happened next shocked Hill.

He first saw that the Chinese grabbed the rebound that was fanned out, and then he found that the guy looked at him!

Hill ran inside with the mentality of giving it a try.

"There's no way he'll see such an opportunity." Jordan. Hill muttered to himself.

As a result, the next second, the basketball jumped on top of Hill's head. The Pistons opened their mouths wide, they thought the Chinese had shot. But only Hill knows that this goal was made for him!

So, when no one was marked, Jordan, who has always been known for his athleticism. Hill didn't miss such an opportunity. He leaped high and grabbed the basketball with both hands. Then smash the ball into the frame before the Pistons players can react!

A nice air catch, Jordan. Hill was so excited that he landed on the ground and looked up to the sky and roared.

He glanced at the No. 5 who passed the ball to him, and saw that he was not excited, but walked back to the defense leisurely.

Hill scratched his head, that guy was like a peerless master in a kung fu movie. His appearance is not good, and he does not shoot easily. But once you shoot, it's a five-best ball!

"Do you think it's a coincidence or a good ball?" At this point, on the commentary stage, Webb and Kevin. Harlan and his jaws had dropped in shock.

That kind of passing is not something that a random rookie striker can pass.

"Just right? If that's the case, Link can go buy lottery tickets instead of playing basketball. Kevin. Harlan's eyes turned from banter to seriousness when he looked at Link.

A player can have a lot of talents, height, arm length, speed, physique, and more. But some players have a lot of hidden talents, such as the ability to see the big picture and read the game.

And players with hidden talents, once they can play their strengths, can usually occupy a place in the league.

was deducted by the Rockets "for no reason", and the Pistons bench must be unhappy. Although the game is actually over, the two sides are still secretly battling.

Will. Bynum passed the ball to Monroe, who in turn handed the ball to Ben, who was cutting to the basket. Gordon.

Root. Gordon received the ball and was going to take three straight steps, Jordan. Hill was being entangled by Dayer at this time, and there was no way to rush to the basket to make up for it.

So, after catching the ball and dribbling a step, Gordon picked up the basketball and took a step.

But at this moment, a "high wall" was in front of him. Between the lightning and flint, Gordon didn't see anything clearly, only the big number 5 on his chest!

"Number 5, that Chinese!?" Root. Gordon reacted quickly, but he couldn't figure out how the guy managed to make up for it so quickly.

Subconsciously, Gordon wanted to find Maddie. But before he could find Maddie, he had a solid encounter with Link.

Link's position is very chicken thief, and it happens to be just outside the line of the reasonable collision zone. Therefore, when both of them fell to the ground, the referee's hurried whistle blew.

"Offensive foul, Rockets possession!"

As soon as the penalty result came out, the audience was shocked again. Creating offensive fouls is no easy trick, especially for rookies.

Under normal circumstances, those who are good at making offensive fouls are old fritters who have been in the league for many years. Their grasp of the timing of the defense and the position of the defense has reached the point of perfection.

But a rookie can make an offensive foul so just right, and most people are really seeing it for the first time.

After hearing the referee's decision, Link, who was lying on the ground, waved his fist excitedly. It is true that Link is a rookie, but the energy in his body comes from a veteran ruffian who has been in the league for more than ten years.

Therefore, creating such a thing as an offensive foul is completely reflexive behavior for Link.

Just as Link was about to get up on his own, Jordan. Ciel, however, appeared in front of Link's eyes. He reached out in a friendly way and pulled Link up.

"Well done, man, maybe we should start working together sooner." After Hill finished speaking, he slapped Terrible Link on the back.

Link is pleased that gaining the trust of his teammates is sometimes more important than beating his opponents.

After two rounds of one attack and one defense, Link didn't score, or even shoot. But in the eyes of many, his image has completely changed.

"He's really smart, isn't he?" Adelman smiled from ear to ear off the pitch, and a player with strong physical qualities may not be able to adjust well. But a player with a very high basketball IQ, the coach believes that he will definitely be able to make a difference.

At this point, there was only 1 minute 08 seconds left in the game. Everybody was looking forward to one thing – Link scoring in the NBA.

But Link didn't think much of it, he was well aware of his position as a role player with the Rockets, so he wouldn't make a position like Jermaine. Taylor's kind of stubborn stupidity.

As long as he can help the team in the attack, even if it doesn't score, Link can accept it.

The most important thing about role players is to be able to show their value. Scoring for the sake of scoring would make the role player lose its value.

With the lesson of the last offensive that was covered, Jermaine. Taylor didn't dare to do it. He knows very well that while it's garbage time, the Pistons' bench won't give in easily.

So this time, he hoisted the ball to Jordan. Hill, hopefully the center who called for wind and rain in college will solve the problem on his own.

But Dayer's defense wasn't soft at all, especially after Hill had just completed an aerial relay, and he didn't allow Hill to score again.

Jordan. Hill is not very good at attacking with the ball, and his skills are very average. In 2019 parlance, he's a pie-eating center.

In the face of Dayer's top defense, Hill really didn't have a good solution.

Meanwhile, on the outside, Maddie found himself restless in his alignment.

He first cut in from Maddie's right side, but suddenly ran backwards halfway through!

The first time she ran back, Maddie followed. But he just changed his center of gravity, but unexpectedly, that guy actually ran back for the second time in a row!

At this time, due to injury, Maddie's legs and feet were not so neat, and he could not follow Link to change direction twice in a row.

Maddie finally knew why Link looked so familiar, the way he got out of defense, and Grant after the injury. Hill is the same!

The former owner of the Toyota Center shook his head helplessly, and he was completely reduced to the backdrop for that rookie today.

Seeing Link get rid of Maddie and cut into the box, Hill didn't skimp and hit the ground to send the ball to Link. After all, Jordan. Hill was probably the most willing person to pass the ball to Link in the game.

Link received the basketball, directly raised the basketball with one hand and jumped.

At the same time, Greg. Monroe arrived. He wants to let the undrafted pick know that the NBA's restricted area is not something you can come and go whenever you want.

Monroe jumped sharply, and countless Rockets fans closed their eyes, they really couldn't bear to see the picture of No. 5 being bloodied.

Link, however, turned sideways in the air, grazing past Monroe. He gritted his teeth and clasped his fingers until he dunked the basketball into the hoop!

Indeed, after the big injury Grant. Hill's athleticism has slipped dramatically. But there is one fact that everyone may not believe - Hill in the Sun Period, but occasionally he can stage a good show of separating people!

Although it is difficult for Hill to dunk in the 10-11 season, it is still okay to avoid defenders in the air to complete the dunk.

Therefore. Link made such a wonderful dunk. Although he turned sideways in the air to avoid Monroe, visually, it still looked like a slam dunk.

The moment Link completed the dunk, half of the fans at the Toyota Center stood up. This time, not only Chinese fans, but also many local Houston fans stood up and cheered for Link.

A dunk is one of the most exciting moments on the basketball court, and no one doesn't love this kind of defensive one-handed slam dunk.

"Do you think he's a soft guy who can only pass the ball and play tricks? That's what I just thought. But there's no doubt that Link reminded us with this slam dunk that our guesses were wrong. Congratulations to Link, who scored his first point in the NBA in an extremely exciting way! ”

Chris. Webber smiled, a minute ago, he didn't know who that No. 5 was. But from this day on, Webb promised that he would never forget that name again.

It was the best undrafted show he'd ever seen.
