Sioux Falls Sky Power is sitting on two rookies who have been dropped by the NBA, and for them, the goal this season is naturally to win a championship.

However, this "division of champions" was stopped by the blue team who won only 5 of 12 games. On top of that, the Blues star Joan. Brockman still played so badly today.

"I don't know what you're doing, but I'm sure you're getting farther and farther away from the NBA! If you can't put in a dominant performance in the Development League, just leave early! ”

After the first quarter, there was only the shouting of the head coach from the entire Sky Power bench. And the person who was yelled at was naturally Luke, who was blown out by Link in the first quarter of the game. Babbitt.

Babbitt scored 7 points and 2 rebounds in a single quarter, which seemed to be pretty good. But all of his seven points came in the first four minutes on Brockman's head. Babbitt hasn't scored a single goal since Link came on.

Even if it was contained on the offensive end, Babbitt actually allowed Link to score 12 points in a single quarter. And this is precisely the main reason why the Sky Power team is 7 points behind at this time.

Sky Power head coach Marcus. Bolton naturally didn't think that Link's strength was that strong, so he always thought that Babbitt was too light to take it seriously.

In the face of the head coach's doubts, Babbitt was bitter and couldn't say it. He can't tell the coach, "I've tried hard, but I still can't prevent it."

So, in the second quarter of the game, Luke. If Babbitt still wants to get back face, if he still wants to continue to enter the NBA, his only way is to do his best.

He's going to have to fight with Link to his death.

In the NBA, most players don't play until the playoffs. Whereas, in the Development League, there are several players in every game who are desperate for stats and wins.

The game in the Development League has a more rugged charm than in the NBA. After all, basketball is a competitive sport, and the stronger the competitive flavor, the better the game will be for the fans.

"I see, you won't see him bouncing around again in the second quarter."

Luke. Babbitt gritted his teeth and replied that if he was blown up by a little-known undrafted draft, he would be as embarrassed as he was. He's a college star, but the Trail Blazers have high hopes.

So, he plans to use what he does best to fight Link.

What is he best at? Catch and shoot!

So before the start of the second quarter, Luke. Babbitt found his teammate, Hassan, who had not yet undergone the transformation of socialist characteristics. Whiteside.

"Man, I need you to cover more off-ball screens for me in the second quarter. And on the defensive end, help me keep an eye out for that yellow-skinned No. 5. If he dares to enter the forbidden area, you let him taste it! ”

Babbitt knew that he had to use the power of his teammates to contain Link. In the past quarter of the game, no one knew better than Babbitt what Link was capable of. If he fights alone, I'm afraid he will still suffer.

Therefore, Babbitt must rely on his teammates to achieve his goals. He has to win, and it's not just about victory and glory, it's about his job.

On the blue side, there is undoubtedly one thing Conor wants to do now - continue to pull away from the score.

He was able to lead the Sky Force by seven points in the first quarter, which Connell could not have imagined before the game. But Link's X-factor really played a role, and the bald coach couldn't be happier.

Therefore, he decided to switch to his strongest squad next.

"What!? You want me to play at the same time as that idiot!? ”

When Brockman heard that he would be playing at the same time as Link, he was very resistant in his heart. The head coach actually pushed him back to the No. 4 position for the sake of Link. In Brockman's opinion, this is worse than being blown up by Babbitt.

Making way for a draft loser? Are you kidding!?

"First of all, Link is not an idiot, he's your teammate, and he scored 12 points on the head of the guy who blew you up! Secondly, if you don't want to play in the number four position or you don't want to play, then you just sit on the bench and I don't mind. ”

Connell has a tough attitude, and he doesn't care who is undrafted or dropped from the NBA. He only knows that the one who can lead the team to victory is a good player!

Seeing Connell say this, Brockman couldn't refute anything. No matter how angry he is, he can only be obedient later.

"Others, cover more for Link, pass him more. I need to give him an easy shot and that's the only way we can win the game." Is there anyone among you who wants to lose to that group of bastards from Miami!? ”

"Nope!"

"Very well," Connell nodded in satisfaction, "then, do it!" ”

At the start of the second quarter, the blue team's lineup caught the attention of the commentators. Seeing Upshaw, Link and Brockman all play at the same time, this lineup combination undoubtedly maximizes the attacking firepower of the blue team.

"Will that magical No. 5 be able to continue the way he was in the first quarter? We've seen too many players who have suddenly burst into the game and then put up spectacular stats. But most of them, as a rule, are not stable enough. In the second quarter, the blue team may still have Brockman as the core of the offense. ”

On the commentary stage, commentators are still not very optimistic about Link. It's not uncommon to start softening after scoring a high score in a single quarter, even in the NBA. In their opinion, Connell took Brockman and Link at the same time for double insurance.

But in reality, he sent Brockman only in the hope that the "big white bear" could play a good blue-collar role next to Link......

So on the first offense after the start of the second quarter, Brockman was forced to make an off-ball cover for Link.

"What are you doing in a daze? Waiting for me to replace you!? Cover, cover your teammates! ”

Connell's shouting forced Brockman to compromise because the first quarter had proven that the bald coach was indeed going to put him on the bench, and he did what he said.

So, Brockman made an off-ball screen for Link on the run. Don't say that Brockman's quality of cover is good enough for the development league at least. When he was in college, he used to do this kind of work.

And Brockman, in addition to hating Link, also hated Luke, who made him lose face today. Babbitt. Therefore, Brockman's cover was very tough.

With Brockman's help, it was easier for Link to get rid of Babbitt. After shaking off Babbitt and receiving the basketball, Link deliberately dribbled a shot from beyond the three-point line.

Luke rushed over. Babbitt leaped high, but his remedial defense was unsuccessful. I saw Link break through with the ball directly after flying Babbitt, he just faked his shot, and Babbitt was completely tricked!

"Damn!" Luke. Babbitt turned his head in horror in the air, and if he was scored again, he would be completely disgraced.

However, his good team-mate Whiteside didn't forget the conversation just now. The inside behemoth pounced and prepared to help.

I have to say that the moment Link saw Whiteside, a terrible sense of oppression came to his face. Even with the ability of Twilight Hill, Link doesn't challenge the authority of the entire beast.

So, just as Link and Whiteside were about to collide, the yellow-skinned No. 5 striker suddenly hit the ground with a pass.

The basketball passed through Whiteside's leg and jumped inside! At this time, Brockman, who had finished covering Link, just cut to the basket and received the basket!

"What!?"

Everyone was shocked, in such a small space can still hit the ground and send the ball to his teammates, is this guy really a tall 2.03 meter striker!?

At the same time, everyone on the blue team and Brockman himself were surprised. Because they all know very well what the relationship between Link and Brockman is, the two only exchanged trash talk on the training ground yesterday. But today, Link actually passed the ball to Brockman!?

Brockman didn't think much of it, and now Whiteside pounced and the basket was empty. Humiliated by Babbitt for an entire quarter, Brockman would not have given up the opportunity to perform like this.

So he took two big steps directly after receiving the ball, and then scored with both hands!

The whole stadium cheered, and as soon as the second quarter began, the blue team gave the home fans a beautiful attack!

"Pass beautifully! Damn, this guy should go play in the NBA! ”

At this time, on the commentary stage, the commentators were already mesmerized by Link's performance. From beautiful escapes to realistic fake-and-shoot shots and finally subtle ground-hitting passes...... While Brockman was the last to score, the brightest man on the offense was undoubtedly Link.

Brockman looked at Link in surprise after the goal, but Link just tilted his head.

He admits that he doesn't like the white forward who scolds him for being a weak chicken. But in the game, for the sake of victory and a better performance, Link had to put his personal preconceptions behind him for a while.

In that attack just now, whether it was against Whiteside's defense and not making an indestructive, or whether a wonderful pass was more attractive, even children have the answer in their hearts.

Therefore, Link can improve the relationship between the team and show himself better, which is a double win.

"I always thought Link was a pure pitcher, but it seems that his ability to attack with the ball and read the game is also very good. As you just said, this guy should go and play in the NBA. ”

The commentators were still amazed by Link's pass just now, and there was no doubt that Link also broke the impression that he was just a pure shooter.

In fact, in the twilight of his life, Grant. Hill isn't a pure shooter either. In the Suns team that had Nash, he was the team's second playmaker.

The pass just now was just a small trick for Link.

Luke. Babbitt suddenly found that his opponent seemed to be more than just shooting accurately. Letting Whiteside help the defense doesn't seem to have a very good effect.

If the opponent gets a double-double today......

Babbitt didn't dare to think about it, he just hoped that his nightmare would end sooner.
