Inside the arena, the stands were so empty that it didn't seem to fill even a quarter of the seats.

But even so, the cheers from the fans at the scene were so loud that Link licked his lips nervously.

"Link, don't get distracted today! Stay on the bench and be ready at all times. I don't want you to make a series of mistakes as soon as you got on the court like last time! ”

Just as Link was in a daze, a bald man in a suit yelled at him that the man was the coach of the team.

"Oh...... Oh......" Link nodded mechanically.

Link couldn't help but look around, looked at the jersey on his body and the sturdy old black around him, and couldn't help but swallow.

He really came, and he really stood on the professional basketball court! Although, it's just a game of the NBA Development League. But anyway, it's also professional basketball!

It's not the first time Link has played in the NBDL, but it is certainly the first time Link has played in the NBDL. Because at this time, Link's body no longer belongs to his original owner.

While everyone else on the team gathered to cheer each other on, Link froze, as if he was distracted again.

But in fact, his mind was active, and Link was thinking back to all the incredible things that had happened to him in the past few days.

※※※

3 days ago......

Link dimly opened his eyes, only to see the white ceiling. The smell of medical alcohol was in the air, and there was no doubt that he was in the hospital room at this time.

"How are you feeling?" The nurse on the rounds found Link waking up with a smile as warm as the sun.

"I feel good, I ......"

Link was halfway through his words, but suddenly got stuck in his throat. Because he found that what popped out of his mouth was not Chinese. The nurse in front of her hospital bed is not Chinese, but a blonde and blue-eyed foreign girl!

"What's going on!?" Taken aback, Link asked himself in his mind and immediately began to search for the memories in his head.

Before fainting unexpectedly, he was a third-rate college graduate living in 2019. With no house, no car and no savings, his mother divorced and remarried when he was very young and went to another city, never to see him again.

Father is a bastard with no sense of responsibility, he hasn't managed himself well since he was a child, and the father and son haven't been in touch for a long time.

Last night, Link, a basketball fan, was watching game footage on a second-hand computer in his rental house when there was a sudden thunderstorm outside, and the second-hand computer lost power. Link then decided to open the case to check it, but as soon as he opened the case, he himself fainted as if he had been electrocuted.

When I opened my eyes again, I appeared in this unreasonable ward.

"What's wrong with you, sir?" The blonde nurse saw that Link had a strange expression, so she asked with concern. Of course, it's still in English.

Although Link used to learn English well when he was in school, he had forgotten it after four years of college. But this nurse speaks English, and he understands every word!

"I ...... Where am I? Can you speak Chinese? How are there foreign nurses here? ”

"Huh?" The nurse was visibly confused by Link's nonsensical question.

"Uh...... It's nothing...... Thank you, I'm a little tired and I want to rest alone for a while. Link immediately waved his hand and motioned for the nurse to leave.

The questions he wanted to ask just now had the answers to Link's. Because another memory that didn't belong to him had been integrated into Link's mind.

The nurse gave Link a look of horror and walked out of the room. After all, Link's reaction just now was indeed like a neurosis.

But it's okay if the nurse leaves, and now, Link finally has the opportunity to find out his current life experience and situation according to the memories that didn't belong to him.

The owner of this body is also called Link. is a Chinese-American, his full name in English is Tom. Forest. Because Tom's name is really impersonal, and Link's Chinese name is similar to the English Link, everyone likes to call him Link directly.

In the United States, he has a complete family. Both father and mother are Chinese-American, the father is a gardener and the mother is a full-time housewife.

There is no doubt that this guy does not have a good life in the United States. Although his parents have loved him since he was a child, the family also tightens their belts to live.

Thinking of this, Link stopped reminiscing and began to think about a key question - how many years is it now?

Finally, the numbers 2010 appeared in Link's mind. He went back nine years ago, and all at once he came to the United States! As someone who often reads web novels, Link knows that he has probably crossed over!

He hurriedly got up from the hospital bed and ran to the toilet in the ward to flush his face. For some reason, Link always felt that everything in the room seemed to be one size smaller than usual.

Unfortunately, after splashing water on his face, Link did not "wake up". He's still in the United States, in a body that doesn't belong to him.

After washing his face, Link looked at "himself" in the mirror and found that this dark-haired guy was angular and good-looking. It's a pity that he is the same as himself before he crossed over, and he is completely a poor boy.

Link propped himself up on the edge of the sink, looked at himself in the mirror, both familiar and unfamiliar, and thought carefully.

It turned out that this Link fainted yesterday because he was accidentally knocked down on the back of the head while defending on the training ground. As a result, as soon as he woke up, his body was "taken over" by himself.

"Wait!? Basketball court!? Thinking of this, Link looked at his body in surprise. Only then did I finally find out why everything around me seemed to be one size smaller.

Actually, it's not because the things around him have become smaller, but because Link's body has "gotten bigger"!

Link is now 2.03 meters tall and weighs 94 kilograms! And this guy is a professional basketball player!

"Hahaha!" Suddenly having the body to cope with a professional player, Link couldn't help but laugh out loud. Fortunately, most of the rooms in the United States are single-occupancy, and no one heard his laughter, otherwise he would have to be transferred to the neurology department.

In his previous life, as a basketball enthusiast, Link also fantasized that he would one day enter the NBA and compete with the greatest stars in the world. Even if he is not a star, even if he is just a rotation player, getting a base salary of more than one million dollars a year is a wealth that he has never earned in his previous life!

It's a dream come true!

Although he traveled back in time nine years ago, Link doesn't remember any lottery numbers, let alone do business. And if you don't know the place well, it's difficult to support yourself. Now that he has a chance to do it again, Link doesn't want to be as aggrieved as he was in his previous life.

So the only thing he wants to do now is to be a professional footballer. Sign a big contract, buy a luxury car, live in a luxury house, embrace a woman, and reach the pinnacle of life......

Just when Link almost didn't let his saliva come out, he noticed a serious question.

Although I am a professional footballer now, I have nothing to do with those glamorous stars.

In college, Link played for Fresno State University. However, this school can only play NCAA Division II games, which means that he is not even qualified to play in March Madness. Coupled with his own mediocre strength, he naturally did not get the favor of any NBA team.

This summer, Link's college teammate and best friend, Paul Brown. George was picked with the 10th pick, and Link waited until the 60th pick and couldn't hear his name.

Later, Link was signed as an undrafted pick by NBDL team Oklahoma Blues.

To make matters worse, Link now seems to be running out of even NBDL games. The NBDL has always been a professional league, not at the same level as the NCAA Division II league. The coach has publicly expressed his displeasure with Link in recent days, and he is in danger of being cut at any time.

His parents had spent almost all of their savings to help him go to college for his basketball dream, and if he couldn't stay in the NBDL, Link would have to put away his dream of becoming a professional footballer and go to work as a gardener with his dad. After all, he majored in sociology at university, and it was difficult to find a job after he came out.

Thinking of this, Link inserted his finger into his jet-black hair, and as soon as he came over, he encountered a big problem.
