011: My name is Link, not Nobody

Luke. Babbitt doesn't plan to stay with Sky Power for long, his goal is to return to the NBA, the Trail Blazers.

There are only two ways to return to the NBA, one is to wait for the main players of the Trail Blazers to get injured. If a player in his position is out due to injury, he is most likely to be called up.

Of course, there are too many chances in this approach. And when the injured players return, there is a high probability that the call-up players will be sent again.

And the other way, and the safest way, is to play dominantly in the development league. As long as they can put on a strong performance, it is only natural that NBA teams will re-interest in delegated players.

After all, rookies like Babbitt have signed guaranteed contracts with the team, and the Trail Blazers won't let their millions of dollars go to waste.

So, for Babbitt, getting back to the NBA is actually one way to go - play every game, blow every matchup!

A few minutes before the game, Joan. Brockman's stupid big guy was obviously blown up. But Babbitt didn't expect that the No. 5 in front of him, who couldn't even be named, would be able to hit three points on his head.

And before shooting, he also showed a heart-wrenching smile.

Babbitt knows that losing the draft is not the same as their kind of first-round pick. The draft was a 10-day contract with an NBA team, and he was willing to play every game.

However, most of the undrafted drafts can't beat the first-round draft even if they play with their lives, and Babbitt has seen this kind of thing a lot. This time, he won't let any accidents happen either!

"Luke, what are you doing!? Seriously, I won't allow you to let him score any more goals! ”

At the same time, the head coach of Sky Power yelled at Babbitt. Obviously, the manager was also very unhappy with the goal he had just conceded.

Babbitt waved his hand at the bench to signal that he would not make another mistake. Luke. Babbitt played in college for two years, but never heard of the No. 5 name. He believes that a low-level player in the NCAA cannot threaten himself as an NBA player!

"Link, be careful, that guy is not easy to deal with!"

See Luke. Babbitt approached menacingly, and Zike. Upshaw yelled at Link.

"Well, don't worry, people who are optimistic about themselves!" Link also pointed to Upshaw's alignment, signaling him not to slip through the cracks.

Conor was watching Upshaw and Link's actions, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange. Although on the basketball court, it is normal for teammates to communicate with each other. But there is something special about the development league because teammates are also in competition with each other.

But Link and Upshaw don't look like competitors at all.

While thinking about it, Babbitt received a pass from his own point guard and prepared to single Link. Connell was also focused, and he wanted to see how far the Asian could go. On the training pitch he can guard Brockman, so on the field, can he fight back against Babbitt?

"That idiot, look, he's going to be torn apart by Babbitt."

At this time, Joan, who was sitting on the bench. Brockman sneered instead. But Connell didn't feel strange when he heard this, because this is more like the norm of the development alliance.

Luke. Babbitt did want to shred the number five in front of him, but Link looked very confident and calm.

Link still remembers the 2010 Western Conference Finals, where the Suns and Lakers met. Although at that time Grant. Hill is 37 years old, but he is still the Suns' most effective player in defending Kobe.

Now that I have Grant. Hill's ability, defending a rookie who has been devolved should have no problem!

"Damn!" Luke. Babbitt was a little nervous because Link was so composed, not like a rookie.

I saw Link staring straight at the basketball in Babbitt's hand, as if he would make a steal at any moment.

"You'll be out soon, nobody!" In order to relieve his own tension and also to suppress Link's momentum, Luke. Babbitt also spewed trash talk.

It's clear though, that this guy doesn't have much research on trash talk, as his words don't work for Link.

Babbitt made a triple threat with the ball, and Link's center of gravity was unmoved, and his mood was not affected by trash talk.

Seeing this, Babbitt simply broke through directly, intending to use his strong body to force his way through.

"He's done." Brockman smiled, he couldn't even stand up to Babbitt just now, let alone Link's softass.

"Bang!"

There was a muffled sound on the basketball court caused by the collision of muscles, but Link was not knocked away, but it was Luke. Babbitt was bounced back beyond the three-point line.

He was defeated in a physical confrontation!

"What!?" Brockman stood up suddenly, unbelievably thinking he was celebrating for his teammates.

Luke. Babbitt's toughness is limited to the NCAA. And Link is strong now, but at the NBA level!

"Awesome, he stopped Luke. Babbitt's breakthrough. Where did this guy come from? Why didn't anyone mention him at all during the draft? ”

As the commentators marveled, Luke . Babbitt suddenly pulls a jumper from beyond the three-point line. Like most white forwards, Luke. Babbitt's shooting fundamentals are excellent, and his shooting percentage is very consistent. He plans to take advantage of Link's lack of close pressing, and steal a three-pointer.

And, Luke. Babbitt is also a left-hander, which makes his offense harder to interfere with.

Babbitt soared to the top, then softly prepared to strike. But just as he pushed the basketball out, Babbitt suddenly felt that there was no light in front of him.

"This!" The narrator got goosebumps and waited for that moment to happen.

"Bang!" There was another loud bang, only this time it was the sound of palms slapping the basketball!

Link mercilessly rewarded Luke from beyond the three-point line. Babbitt a volleyball cap!

"It's a beautiful cover, oh my god, the whole arena is crazy!"

The commentator's scalp is numb, and it's hard to see this kind of cover on the field of the Development League. If there is, it usually happens on the inside.

A volleyball cap from beyond the three-point line? Unless the defending side has overwhelming strength, it will not be possible.

And in the face of an overwhelming difference in strength, it doesn't matter whether the offensive player shoots with his left hand or his right hand.

After the basketball was slapped off, Zeke. Upshaw was immediately activated. He had been keeping an eye on Link's side, so he rushed out the moment the block was finished.

Upshaw picked up the basketball, and there was no one in front of him. And just like that, the black guard staged a one-handed slam. His dunks are naturally not as beautiful as NBA players, but they are already very morale-boosting.

Luke. Babbitt saw Upshaw dunk successfully, and then immediately turned his head to look at Link in front of him.

Link continued with his playful smile before gesturing to his name, "Remember my name, you nobody." ”

Then, Link ignored Babbitt and gave Upshaw a gentle high-five.

Working together to crush the enemy, Link finds himself seemingly falling in love with the feeling.

"Holy." Meanwhile, off the field, Joan. Brockman screamed. Of course, he wasn't yelling at Upshaw's dunk, but at Link's volleyball cap.

But embarrassingly, once again, the media mistakenly thought Brockman was cheering for Link......

"It seems that the atmosphere in the blue team is very good. Even if he is replaced by Link, Brockman will shout for Link's wonderful performance. This kind of player deserves to be affirmed, deserved. ”

If Brockman could have listened to the speaker, he would have been half, and he was now completely a clown on the bench?

After that, the game went on for a few more minutes. At first, people thought that Link's ability to block Babbitt was just luck. But unexpectedly, in the first quarter of the game, after Link came on the court, Babbitt was directly kept a clean sheet.

That's right, clean sheets!

Whether with or without the ball, shooting and breaking, Babbitt couldn't score in front of Link's eyes.

He always seems to be able to predict Babbitt's next move, and then prepare in advance.

After a quarter, Luke. Babbitt has gone from being confident at the beginning to being blind. Defeated by an unknown undrafted draft, anyone will collapse.

Link, on the other hand, had to eat and drink on Babbitt's head, and although Link rarely attacked with the ball, his catch-and-shoot after running off the ball made Babbitt want to cry and cry Mom.

Basically, as long as the interference is half a beat slow, Link can score. It is normal for a player who averages more than ten points per game in the NBA to be unresolved in the Development League. After all, defensive intensity is not at a level.

Link kept going in, and Upshaw really kept passing on that he volunteered to be the role of the green leaf.

As a result, Link scored two three-pointers in the first quarter. The entire first quarter added up, and scored 12 points in a single quarter!

If it weren't for Whiteside's defense inside and giving Link some psychological pressure, maybe he would have scored more!

"I only have one question now, why did Link lose the election in the first place!? Obviously, he's better than most of the players here! ”

The on-site commentary summed up the first quarter of the game in one sentence, and this sentence is bound to reach the ears of many NBA team general managers.
