The NBA's top five of the day on December 6, as usual, made most fans excited.

But to the surprise of most people, there was a figure on today's top five balls that was extremely unfamiliar to many fans. Moreover, it appeared twice as soon as it appeared.

First up was the fifth of today's top five, the little-known yellow-skinned player shook off Maddy, cut perfectly to the basket, and then finished the dunk sideways under Monroe's block.

From getting rid of it to cutting in to the final violent buckle, the whole set of actions is done in one go. I don't know, I thought Yao Ming had become shorter. After all, it's been too long since a yellow-skinned player in the NBA staged this kind of spectacular shot.

After that, the second place of today's top five, the yellow-skinned Chinese, appeared again.

This time he didn't even dribble the ball, he didn't even take a single step. He just took a stroll after receiving the blocked basketball from the outside, and he was in a similar position to Jordan. Hill completed an aerial relay.

And the essence of this ball is precisely the temperament of leisurely strolling. If you don't have a strong reading ability, you can't pretend to do whatever you want.

It is not easy for a star to occupy two seats at a time in the top five of the day. After all, there are so many games in the NBA in a day, and there are countless great shots. The probability of picking five of them from the same person is too low.

But today, Link did. Oh, by the way, it's just that many fans who watched today's top five don't know that the Chinese who suddenly appeared is called Link.

When most fans searched on the Internet, they found out that he was actually just a draft loser! He is currently on a 10-day contract with the Rockets, and his last game was his first appearance for an NBA team!

In an instant, all the fans exploded. Before you know it, Link's popularity has begun to skyrocket......

※※※

5 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist, when Link opened his eyes in bed, the first number that came to his mind was these numbers.

It was his first NBA game.

Yesterday, Josh. Smith had 34 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists. Boozer had 29 points and 12 rebounds, and the Pacers didn't have seven players in double figures.

Compared to these statistics, Link's 5 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist are not worth mentioning at all.

But even so, this Chinese player has still become a sweetheart.

First of all, Link played less than two minutes, and it was garbage time. Secondly, Link, as an undrafted pick, can occupy two of the top five spots in today's top five for the first time in an official competition, which is already very difficult.

Although the stats weren't flashy, Link was still quite happy, at least it gave him a good start.

After waking up and picking up his phone, Link found several unread text messages. The text messages came from Upshaw, George and some college classmates.

Link focused on the text messages from Upshaw and George, both of whom were genuinely happy for Link.

Link smiled, it turned out that last night, there were also many people in front of the TV, just to watch themselves play.

He didn't know why Adelman suddenly decided to replace him, but what he did know was that he certainly didn't disappoint Adelman.

Next, Link has two more games to play. After these two games, it will be a matter of going or staying, and Adelman's evaluation will play a decisive role.

Thinking of this, Link slammed into bed as if he had been beaten with chicken blood. It was only when he sweated in the gym that he felt safe.

Link's house is not far from the Toyota Center, and it was arranged for him by Team Rocket. The cost of rent for these ten days is also borne by the Rocket team.

Due to the proximity, Link only needs to walk to the arena in about 20 minutes every day. At first, he couldn't hear Upshaw's horn every morning, and he was a little unaccustomed to it. But now, after already playing a game, Link has gradually adapted to life in Houston.

As a low-level player, Link is basically only somewhat famous among the Chinese fan base. What do you mean by a bottom player? It's those guys who can walk 100 meters away from the stadium without sunglasses and don't have to worry about being recognized.

Only die-hard fans who bought a season ticket to the team, sneezed a few times on the bench, stole a few Gatorades, and waved a few towels will know a little about them.

This is the bottom of the NBA, and Link is one of them.

Therefore, for the first two days, Link was basically undisturbed on his way to work. The only time was before yesterday's game, when an old woman said that Link looked familiar, and asked if he played rugby or boxing......

But walking down the street today, Link felt that something was not quite right. Everyone around him seemed to be watching him, and they all kept whispering.

It didn't feel good to be discussed on the street, and Link thought he was wearing his pants backwards.

It wasn't until near the Toyota Center that a little boy who was going to school chased Link and asked him for an autograph that Link reacted - he wasn't wearing the opposite clothes, but really became famous!

The little boy who asked Link for an autograph was a standard American kid, blonde and blue-eyed. In the past, basically only Chinese would ask Link for an autograph.

After the signing, the boy's father shook hands with Link cordially and said politely, "Keep it up, Link!" ”

Link was surprised again that an American fan could actually name his nickname? I didn't play for long yesterday, why did I become so famous overnight?

This guy doesn't know that most of them actually met Link through the Five Best Balls.

After seeing a little boy sign successfully, a large number of fans instantly poured around. In the blink of an eye, Link was surrounded by water. In the crowd, Link instantly felt a little overwhelmed.

I used to cut three doubles and two doubles in the development league, and I didn't see myself so famous. But after playing less than two minutes in the NBA, his popularity is completely different from what it used to be.

A day ago, he was walking down the street, and the Houston fans wouldn't have looked at him. But today, he's in the limelight.

There was no way, Link had to fulfill the fans' requests for autographs and group photos one by one. Fortunately, the density of crowds in the United States in the morning is not as high as in China, otherwise it would be strange that Link would have been able to get out today.

After running into the underground parking lot of the Toyota Center, Link happened to meet Jordan. Hill.

Since Link has only been with the team for a few days, he is not very familiar with his teammates on the Rockets. If you have to say who Link has a better relationship with, it's Jordan. Hill up. After all, Link helped Hill with five goals yesterday. And in the game, Hill also picked up Linkla, who fell to the ground.

Although they are not friends with each other, they have some good feelings for each other.

"Besieged by the fans? You're the first NBA player I've ever seen walk into the arena without sunglasses or a car, hahahaha. ”

Seeing Link's disheveled appearance, Hill laughed very unkindly.

"I thought people didn't know me." Link spread his hands outstretched, and he couldn't imagine that he would one day become a star in the limelight.

Well, a "star" who only cut 5 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist.

"Because of Yao's influence, Chinese players will always be popular in Houston. Also, you did very well yesterday. So, you must already know it, Link. By the way, thank you for the pass you gave me yesterday. When we train today, we can try that air relay a few more times. ”

Jordan. Hill said, patting Link on the back. Link instantly felt that the team atmosphere in the NBA was more than a notch stronger than that in the NBDL.

Of course, it depends on the team. The current Houston Rockets are also united because of the presence of Scola, Battier and other veterans. After a few years, when Howard came, it wouldn't be like that.

Follow Jordan. Hill, Link turned left and walked into the training hall. The sight of bright wooden floors and NBA-level basketball hoops tickled Link's hands.

The fans, the teammates and the good performance on the pitch...... Link suddenly felt that his rocket career was about to start to improve.

Of course, Link now has to think about how to avoid the overzealous fans tomorrow morning.

It was a happy annoyance that he had never dared to imagine before.
