Seeing Link dunk again, the fans of the Blue team will no longer be surprised. While Link always seems to be slow, he always strikes a thunderous blow whenever he gets the chance.

In the sad atmosphere of Upshaw's death, Link's dunk undoubtedly boosted the morale of the scene. It's not just a morale boost for my teammates, it's also a morale boost for the fans.

After Link finished his dunk, he heard the whole court shouting his name. Although there weren't as many fans here as in the NBA, and the shouting wasn't as intense, it was a relief for Link.

In Houston, he's just a clown who catches the eye for the Rockets. But here, in Oklahoma, at the home of the Blues, he's a hero to the fans!

For the first time, Link fully felt what it means to be at home.

He's wearing Upshaw's No.0 shirt, he's got his team-mates and fans behind him, and he's not afraid of anything now!

"I've never seen a Development League game with such a hot atmosphere, and Link seems to have brought the NBA heat back to Oklahoma. The Vipers won't have an easy time today, and the Houston Rockets will also pay the price for not renewing Link's contract! ”

It was in this frenzied atmosphere that the Vipers point guard Larry . Morris possessed the ball through the half. Larry. Morris, a star point guard in college, played in Washington State for 3 years and went undrafted in the draft.

As a college star, Morris is nothing more than an inconspicuous pebble in the Development League. The main reason why he was not selected was that he was only 1.80 meters tall and his scoring ability was not so strong. And the ability to fight is quite a loss in the professional game.

Don't think it's strange that the college star point guard was not selected, the well-known Heat point guard Chalmers was still the MOP of the NCAA Final Four. The result? He was also only drafted in the second round.

Larry. Morris has not been very confident since he entered the professional basketball world, so as soon as he passed halftime, he wanted to find Carroll and try to pass the ball as soon as possible.

But he waited a long time in the gap between the halfway line and the three-point line, and still couldn't get the ball out. Because of the yellow skin wearing the No. 0 jersey, the marking of Carroll can be described as quite "unreasonable".

Carroll tried to get rid of Link, but was unable to do so. His running position was too immature in Link's opinion, Luke. Babbitt and Lance. Stephenson's tragic ending seems to be going to be repeated in Carol again! ”

"Link's defense is definitely NBA-caliber and he's adapted to the pace of the NBA game in three games with the Rockets. Back in the Development League, the game is a breeze for him! ”

The commentators were all amazed by Link's defensive ability, and Carroll was not a particularly strong player in his own right. Although he is positive, his athleticism is very average.

Athleticism and scoring ability are not dominant, and Carroll wants to get rid of Link, which is almost a fantasy.

The entire defense, Link stuck to Carroll like glue on his hands. This striker, with his exaggerated dreadlocks and the appearance of a predator, is now tamed by Link like a trapped beast that can't find an exit.

Seeing that the time to attack was running out, Larry. Morris didn't plan to continue like this. He called the center forward to cover and then broke through with the ball himself!

Morris, who is only 1.80m tall, looked lacking in self-confidence after the break, so he did not choose to go to the basket himself, but passed the ball to the Vipers center who went down.

The center was about to attack the frame when he got the ball, but in the next second, cheers filled the entire arena again.

I saw Joan. Brockman flew from the side with a powerful gesture and forced the basketball in the hand of the center of the Vipers to fly! This big white bear, which is not in the NBA, is in the development league, but there is a gate in the restricted area.

The basketball went out of bounds and the Vipers' offense was disrupted. Brockman glared at the other man viciously, then turned and gave Link a light high-five.

Connell laughed with relief from the sidelines, he had never seen such a good atmosphere in the team in his years as coach of the blue team.

Link's appearance has made the chemistry of this team very delicate. He's not just a good player, he's a good teammate. To put it more bluntly, Conor thinks Link will one day be a good leader.

"Damn the Houstonians, they're asking for their own hardships." Eventually, Conor commented to himself on the sidelines.

Although the Vipers still had the ball at this point, their self-confidence had already taken a big hit.

The "death front" formed by Link and Brockman made the blue team's defense extremely tight.

Sure enough, after an attempt to attack, the Vipers still did not score. Carroll couldn't catch the ball, and the others were intimidated by Brockman and didn't dare to hit the basket. In the end, the Vipers could only barely make a shot from the outside, and the efficiency was known.

With just one attack and one defense, the blue team seemed to have the initiative in control of the game. The Vipers players are apprehensive one by one, and instead of a group of players, they are facing a group of angry beasts today!

Carol swallowed, he felt extremely passive, he didn't know what kind of attack the yellow skin in front of him would use.

It stands to reason that defense is Carroll's true value. This forward with a positive attitude has been highly praised for his contributions on the defensive end.

Therefore, he also wanted to limit Link with a tight defense, but what made it difficult for him now was that he didn't know whether he should press or prevent Link from breaking through.

Although Link doesn't look fast, the rhythm is weird, and he can cut to the basket before he knows it. Thinking of Link's slam just now, Carol couldn't help but take a few steps back. He can no longer let the opponent attack the basket easily, and sometimes he would rather bet on the opponent's shot than let the attacker go under the basket.

Besides, Carol didn't go far from Link. If Link is going to shoot, he also has plenty of time to seal it.

The black forward still thinks of Link too simply, if he knows that his opponent is Grant. Hill's words, he probably wouldn't dare to be so guarded......

Link was still not on the ball, and he swam to the right side of the pitch wearing the number 0 shirt. But he didn't stay outside the three-point line, he went inside.

Carol secretly rejoiced that his strategy was right!

But Link hadn't cut to the basket yet, but had just crossed the three-point line when the point guard of the blue team passed the ball!

Link received the basketball, suddenly made an emergency stop, and at the position of two steps in the three-point line, he pulled up and shot!

Carroll was caught off guard, he thought Link would go to the basket, but the opponent suddenly stopped and jumped. Impatient, he immediately blocked it, but by the time he reacted, the number 0 had already completed his shot.

Shooting, which was the period of Grant. Hill's strength is also the main means of scoring. Whether it's mid-range or three-pointers, Grant. Hill has done an excellent job.

Link is well aware that mid-range shooting is almost extinct in the near future. Most players will either shoot three-pointers or just shoot to the basket. But Link is well aware that mid-pitch is an ancient and cost-effective skill. The premise is that you have to be very accurate.

The basketball crossed Carroll's fingertips, drew a rainbow arc, and fell straight into the net.

For the second round in a row, Demaré. Carroll was scored by Link. At this time, there was only one question in Carroll's mind - why didn't the Rockets renew this guy's contract? Are they brain-broken?

Darrell. Morey has been in a good mood these days, and he has successfully attracted a wave of attention with the Chinese player for only $50,000.

Now, the Rockets' attendance per game is gradually picking up, and the viewership of each game is gradually increasing. Most importantly, he stabilized the Chinese market.

The Chinese market is a big piece of cake, and it's worth doing anything for that cake.

As for that Chinese undrafted draft? Who cares? The development league players are like that, they always come and go silently. In another week, everyone will forget who Link is.

Morey did not renew Link's contract, in addition to the fact that Link was not in his plan, but also because Morey felt that Link's strength could not play in the NBA.

In his opinion, Link is just a soft man with a high basketball IQ but a mess of physical fitness. And Link is 22 years old, and there certainly isn't much potential to tap into in the future. A young player who looks like he's in his thirties and forties, Morey doesn't think he can do anything.

If he needs a shooter, there are a bunch of good shooters waiting for him in Europe, and he doesn't have to waste time trying to get a draft loss.

It's cruel, but business is business.

Just as Morey was still reflecting on his "victory" in the past few days, he received a call from his own scout.

"Darrell, you haven't slept yet, have you?"

"No, what's the matter?"

"I don't think you should have given up on that Chinese draft."

"Huh?" Morey was stunned for a moment, what is the situation? Is a scout teaching a general manager how to do things?

When Link was not renewed, Adelman also protested with Morey, but Morey didn't listen. Why should a scout listen to it?

"Can you give me a reason?" Morey asked playfully.

"Reason? God, turn on the TV! Link is on the verge of blowing up the Vipers, and he's going to tear Carol apart! And......" The scout's voice paused on the other end of the phone, "and he's on the verge of breaking the Development League's single-game scoring record......
