Conor didn't want to lose again.

In one month, 12 games, only 5 wins were won. There is no doubt that the Blues' record so far this season has been very poor.

One of the main reasons for this is that Joan. Brockman didn't live up to Connell's expectations. He thought that the kid who was brought down from the NBA would bring some wins to the team, but the guy didn't show anything other than playing big names in practice and making mistakes on the court.

Originally, Connor could comfort himself by saying that Brockman was uncomfortable because he was going to transition to the No. 3 position.

However, yesterday's intra-squad training made Connell realize the fact that Brockman, the big white bear, has no potential to transform into a number three.

He doesn't shoot, he doesn't handle the ball, he's a sluggish fool from the outside. Even Link could humiliate him in the number three position, and Conor couldn't imagine what a disaster it would be for him to play the number three position in an official match.

Speaking of Link, Connell was surprised by the performance of the Chinese player in training yesterday. Ever since the last time he was hit in the back of the head by Brockman, Link seemed to be a different person. He usually doesn't like to talk, but yesterday he actually spewed trash talk with Brockman.

Most importantly, Connor was pleasantly surprised by the level of performance that Link showed yesterday.

Perhaps, Link was eager to regain face after being humiliated, so he broke out in front of Brockman. But in any case, he did show some potential.

Conor doesn't dare to say whether Link can play in the NBA now, but for the development league game, he plans to let Link try.

In today's game, the Blues' opponent will be the Miami Heat's subordinate team Sioux Falls Sky Force. The most dangerous player for the Sky Power team is white forward Luke Brown, who was drafted by the Timberwolves with the 16th pick in the first round of this year's draft. Babbitt.

Luke. Babbitt was very famous when he was in college, he is 2.06 meters tall and good at projection, he can play the third and fourth positions. After being picked by the Timberwolves in the draft, he was immediately traded to the Trail Blazers, and because the Trail Blazers did not have a subordinate development league team, they threw him to the Sky Power team for exercise.

Also the number three or four swingman, Luke. Babbitt didn't know how much stronger he was than Brockman. Thinking of this, Conor felt unfair. It's all from the NBA, how can someone get a Babbitt and only a Brockman?

If Brockman's performance continues to be sluggish today, Connell wouldn't mind giving Link some more time. If Link doesn't play well, he can always make a substitution. After all, this is a basketball game, and there are no substitutions.

But if Link can play well...... Conor touched his bald head, if Link can play well, then he will make a fortune!

This is the case with a lot of players, and the effort they put in, which may not be visible in normal times, may suddenly show the effect at some point. Whether it's the NBA or the Development League, there are too many players to suddenly emerge.

Although Connell is not optimistic that Link can perform well in front of Babbitt, there is no cost to try, and the bald coach is still very willing to do it.

As soon as Link opened his eyes today, he felt like he was aching all over.

Last night, he practiced in the training gym until 11 p.m. However, even after such a long period of practice, the little white bar in front of Link has only increased a little bit of progress.

It seems that Grant, who wants to grow into his prime. Hill, it comes at a great cost. According to his estimates, it will take at least a month or two to train like this every day before the progress bar can be filled.

Now Link doesn't know if his previous abilities will be retained after he upgrades. For example, Hill's long-range shooting at a young age is known to be very unstable. Could it be that if he is promoted to the back, his three-point shooting ability will also deteriorate?

Or will it become a great synthesis of Hill's abilities in various periods as the upgrade progresses?

The system he got was much more rudimentary than the ones he had seen in the novel, with no tasks, no dialogs, nothing. Just a progress bar and a narrative can be said to be extremely rudimentary.

But such a system also has benefits, he can control his life through hard work, instead of being led by the nose by the system.

Therefore, Link's only solution to his doubts is to train hard and then level up as soon as possible.

And because I practiced too hard last night, my body couldn't stand it at once. Link really regrets it, there is an official match tonight, and if he affects his performance because of body aches, it will be worth the loss.

No matter how good you are, you have to show it on the basketball court. What's the use if no one else knows you're good?

Link shook his head, it seems that he can't just practice stupidly in the future, he still has to make a training plan.

"Didi!"

As always, Link had just changed his clothes when Upshaw honked his car horn downstairs.

Link hurriedly grabbed two pieces of toast and rushed downstairs, a little excited and a little nervous on the first day of the official competition.

After all, Link had never experienced what it was like to play in front of thousands of spectators.

"Link, it's morning!"

Upshaw greeted Link in the car, and the guy was always optimistic.

"How was yesterday at the car wash?" Link deftly pulls the car door and fastens his seatbelt.

"As always, I don't make much, but I have enough to eat for two days. Link, it's an official game today, how do you feel? ”

Upshaw is looking forward to today's game, but not for himself, but for Link.

Two days earlier, he had seen Link's three-point performance on the field next to the block, and the bullfight had lost to him.

A day ago, Upshaw witnessed Link blow up the "crown prince" who was put down from the NBA, and Brockman's expression was more ugly than eating Xiang, and Upshaw still remembers it vividly.

Today is the third day since Link was discharged from the hospital. What else could he do unthinkable, Upshaw had no idea.

"It's the first time I've played an official game, and I'm a little nervous." Link said, noticing Upshaw looking at him in surprise.

He hurriedly patted his head, and then remembered that it was not the first time he had played an official game in the Development League. To be exact, it's not the first time this body has played in the Development League. But for Link, it was indeed the first game.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I said it casually, I leaked my mouth.

In order not to make the other party suspicious, Link immediately changed his words, "I mean, I was a little nervous about playing an official match for the first time after being discharged from the hospital. ”

"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous. If you make two mistakes on the pitch like last time, Conor will definitely put you on the bench. By the way, I checked the Sky Force roster yesterday during my break, and guess who your opponent is today? ”

"Who?" Link was training so hard yesterday that he forgot to get to know his opponent.

"It's Luke. Babbitt, once Nevada's No. 1 high school student! Last season in the NCAA, he averaged 21.9 points per game! Moreover, he was sent by the NBA! Do you know what that means? As long as you can beat him, you're sure to get a lot of attention from NBA teams! ”

Upshaw was spitting next to him, while Link was searching his mind for Luke. Information about the name Babbitt.

This guy Link has the impression that he remembers that in 2019, before he crossed over, this gentleman was one of the Heat's rotation players.

In a past life, Luke. Babbitt hasn't made a name for himself in the NBA in his life. has been on many teams in his career, and he has always been a marginal figure.

In other words, this opponent is not as strong as Upshaw thinks he is. It's just that people don't know all this now, and in their eyes, Babbitt is still a very powerful potential rookie.

"Link, Link!? Are you listening? ”

"Uh...... Well, listen, Zike, where are we? Link used an awkward smile to hide the fact that he was distracted.

"I said, if Brockman didn't play well today, you have to take your chances. So, give it your all, I'll pass you the ball! ”

Upshaw said, throwing a fist at Link. The two lightly fisted and continued to drive towards their NBA dreams.

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. The average attendance in the Development League is only about 2,000 people, but this formation is shocking enough for Link.

"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 looked around him, a bald man in a suit yelled at him. The man's name is Vixen. Connell is the head coach of the Oklahoma City Blues.

"Oh...... Oh......" Link nodded mechanically, he looked 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.

Waking up in the hospital and inexplicably getting Grant. Hill's ability, acquired a system that allowed him to become stronger, and also defeated a vicious would-be NBA player on the training court......

And now, he's finally standing here, standing on the professional stage.

Suddenly, Link heard cheers erupt from the stands. He turned his head to see a strong white player waving to the spectators in the stands.

This face Link is a little unfamiliar, but judging by the reaction of the fans, he should be Luke. Babbitt too.

Link's opponent today is also his springboard to the NBA.

Link took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. Be a professional player that no one knows all your life and live a life of tightening your belt?

No, from now on, he's going to let a day like this say goodbye to himself.
