012: Not a pure pitcher

Sioux Falls Sky Power has two rookies who were deported by the NBA. For them, the goal of this season is naturally the championship.

However, this "Champion Team" was blocked by the Blue Team, which had only won 5 in 12 games. Most importantly, the Blue Team star Joan Brockman played so badly today.

"I don't know what you are doing, but I can be sure that you are getting farther and farther away from NBA! If you can't even show your dominant performance in the Development League, then just leave as soon as possible!"

After the first quarter, there was only the head coach's roar on the bench of the Sky Power team. The person who was yelled was naturally Luke Babbitt, who was completely defeated by Link in the first quarter.

Babbitt scored 7 points and 2 rebounds in a single quarter, which looked pretty good. But all of his 7 points were obtained by Brockman in the first four minutes. Since Link came on the court, Babbitt has not scored even a goal.

It would be fine if it was curbed on the offensive end, but Babbitt actually allowed Link to score 12 points in a single quarter. This is exactly the main reason why the Sky Power team was 7 points behind at this time.

Sky Power head coach Marcus Bolton naturally doesn't think Link's strength is that strong, so he always thinks that Babbitt underestimates the enemy too much and doesn't take it seriously.

Facing the head coach's doubts, Babbitt couldn't say anything. He couldn't tell the coach, "I've worked very hard, but I still can't defend myself."

So, in the second quarter, if Luke Babbitt wants to regain his face and continues to enter the NBA, his only way is to do his best.

He has to fight with Link.

In the NBA, most players will only be in the playoffs. In the Development League, there are several players who will do whatever they want to do for the sake of statistics and victory.

Compared with NBA, the development league games have a more rough charm. Basketball is a competitive sports after all, and the more competitive the flavor, the better the game will be for fans.

"I understand, you won't see him jumping around in the second quarter."

Luke Babbitt gritted his teeth and replied that if he was beaten by an unknown undraft, he would be ashamed as he would be. He is a college star, but he was highly expected by the Trail Blazers.

So, he planned to use what he was best at to fight Link.

What is he best at? Receive the ball and shoot!

So before the second quarter starts, Luke Babbitt found his teammate, Hassan Whiteside, who has not yet received the transformation of socialist characteristics.

"Man, I need you to do more off-ball covers for me in the second quarter. And on the defensive end, please pay more attention to the yellow-skinned No. 5. If he dares to enter the penalty area, you can let him taste the awesomeness!"

Babbitt knew that he had to use the power of his teammates to curb Link. In the past quarter, no one knew better than Babbitt what kind of ability Link had. If he had to fight alone, he might suffer a loss.

Therefore, Babbitt must use his teammates to achieve his goals. He must win, which is not only about victory and glory, but also about his own job.

On the Blues, Connor wants to do now, one thing will undoubtedly continue to expand the score.

He was able to lead Sky Power in the first quarter by 7 points, which Connor dared not think about before the game. But Link's x factor really played a role, which made the bald coach extremely happy.

Therefore, he decided to change to his strongest lineup next.

"What!? You want me and that idiot to appear at the same time!?"

When Brockman heard that he would appear at the same time as Link, he was very resistant. The head coach actually pushed him back to the fourth position for Link. In Brockman's opinion, this was even more uncomfortable than being beaten by Babbitt.

Giving up to a undraft? What a joke!?

"First of all, Link is not an idiot, he is your teammate, and he scored 12 points on the head of the guy who beat you! Secondly, if you don't want to play the fourth position or don't want to play, then you'll be on the bench, I don't mind at all."

Connor's attitude is very tough. No matter who is out of the draft, who is delegated from the NBA, he only knows that the one who can lead the team to win is a good player!

Seeing Connor say this, Brockman couldn't argue. No matter how angry he was, he could only be obedient later.

"Others, give Link more cover and pass him more. I need to give him a chance to shoot easily, and only then can we win the game. Does anyone among you want to lose to the group of bastards from Miami??"

"No!"

"Very good," Cornell nodded with satisfaction, "Then, do as you do!"

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Blues' lineup attracted the attention of the commentators. Upshaw, Link and Brockman appeared at the same time. Such a lineup combination undoubtedly maximized the Blues' offensive firepower.

"Can that magical No. 5 continue his state in the first quarter? We have seen too many players who suddenly feel the touch and play gorgeous data. But most of them usually do not perform well enough. In the second quarter, the Blues may also attack with Brockman as the core."

On the commentary stage, the commentators were still not optimistic about Link. After scoring high scores in a single quarter, they began to be weak, even in the NBA. In their opinion, Connor took Brockman and Link at the same time for double insurance.

But in fact, he sent Brockman just to hope that the "Big White Bear" can play a blue-collar role next to Link.

So in the first attack after the start of the second quarter, Brockman was forced to make an unball cover for Link.

"What are you still standing there? Are you waiting for me to replace you?? Cover, cover your teammates!"

Connor's shouting forced Brockman to compromise because the first quarter had proved that the bald coach would indeed put him on the bench, and he did what he said.

So, Brockman gave a no-ball cover to run Link. You can't say that Brockman's screen quality is at least excellent enough in the Development League. He often did this kind of work in college.

Moreover, in addition to hating Link, Brockman also hated Luke Babbitt, who made him look disgrace today. Therefore, Brockman's cover was very tough.

With Brockman's help, it was easier for Link to get rid of Babbitt. After throwing away Babbitt and receiving the basketball, Link deliberately flicked a shot from outside the three-point line.

Luke Babbitt, who rushed over, jumped high, but his defensive style defense did not succeed. Link hit the ball and broke through directly with the ball. He just made a fake shot, and Babbitt was completely fooled!

"Damn it!" Luke Babbitt turned his head in horror in the air. If the opponent scored another goal, he would be completely wiped out.

However, his good teammate Whiteside did not forget the conversation just now. The inside monster rushed out and prepared to assist in defense.

I have to say that when Link saw Whiteside, a terrible sense of oppression came to his face. Even with the ability of Hill in his twilight years, Link would not challenge the authority of this monster.

So, just as Link and Whiteside were about to collide, the yellow-skinned No. 5 forward suddenly made a pass.

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

"What!?"

Everyone was shocked. In such a small space, he could still hit the ball and send the ball to his teammates. Is this guy really a forward who is 2.03 meters tall?

At the same time, everyone from the Blues and Brockman were also very surprised. Because they all knew what the relationship between Link and Brockman was, the two only squirted trash talks on the training ground yesterday. But today, Link actually passed the ball to Brockman!?

Brockman didn't think so much. Now Whiteside saved, and the basket was empty. He was humiliated by Babbitt for a whole quarter of the game. Brockman would not give up the opportunity to perform like this.

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

The whole audience was cheering. As soon as the second quarter started, the Blues presented a beautiful offense to the home fans!

"It's pretty! Damn, this guy should go and fight NBA!"

At this time, on the commentary stage, the commentators were fascinated by Link's performance. From beautiful escape to realistic fake shots and the final exquisite pass. Although Brockman was the last scorer, the person who scored the most dazzling this time was undoubtedly Link.

After scoring the goal, Brockman looked at Link in surprise, but Link just turned his head.

He admitted that he didn't like the white forward who called him a weak man. But in the game, in order to win and perform better, Link had to temporarily put his personal prejudices behind him.

The attack just now was attractive to Whiteside's defense against the ironclad, or even a wonderful story that was even more attractive, even the children had the answer in their hearts.

Therefore, Link can improve team relationships and better show himself, which is simply a killing two birds with one stone.

"I always thought Link was a pure pitcher, but it seems that his ability to play with the ball is also excellent. As you just said, this guy should play NBA."

The commentators were still surprised 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, Grant Hill was not a pure shooter in his twilight years. In the Suns, which owned Nash, he was the second organization point of the team.

The passing like that just now was just a trick for Link.

Luke Babbitt suddenly realized that his opponent seemed to be more than just shooting accurately. It seemed that he would not have a good effect when asked Whiteside to assist in defense.

If the opponent gets a double-double data today
