025: Opening record

Jordan Hill just wanted to compete for rebounds at the beginning, but he didn't expect that Jermaine Taylor was so stupid that he was blocked.

But because Dayer went to make up for the defense of Taylor, there was still no one around Hill. Looking at the basketball flying to the right corner, Hill wanted someone to pass the ball, even if he just threw the ball into the air, he was confident that he could dig the ball. After all, he was no one to guard it.

But then again, who can see such a secret opportunity?

That No. 5 Chinese? Forget it, he has never practiced with the team at all, not to mention that he is just a undraft.

But what happened next shocked Hill.

He first saw the Chinese catch the rebound that was blown out, and then he found that the guy glanced at him!

Hill ran to the inside with a try-and-see attitude.

"It shouldn't be possible that he would see such an opportunity." Jordan Hill muttered to himself in his heart.

As a result, the next second, the basketball jumped to Hill's head. The Pistons all opened their mouths wide, and they thought the Chinese had shot. But only Hill knew that the ball was made for him!

So, without anyone to guard, Jordan Hill, who has always been known for his athletic ability, did not miss such an opportunity. He jumped high and grabbed the basketball with both hands. Then, before the Pistons players reacted, he smashed the ball into the box!

With a beautiful aerial dunk, Jordan Hill was so excited that he landed on the ground and whistled up.

He glanced at the No. 5 who passed the ball to him, but saw that he was not excited, but walked back to defend like a wandering place.

Hill scratched his head, and that guy was like a peerless master in kung fu movies. He was not good-looking and did not take action easily. But once he took action, he would be a top five ball!

"Do you think it's a coincidence or a good ball?" At this time, on the commentary stage, Weber and Kevin Harlan had already lost their chins.

That kind of pass that is just right is not something that a rookie striker can pass.

"Just right? If so, Link can go to buy lottery tickets instead of playing basketball." Kevin Harlan's eyes looked at Link from the beginning of the joke.

A player can have many talents, such as height, arm length, speed, physique, etc. However, some players have many hidden talents, such as overall view, ability to read games, etc.

Players with hidden talents can usually gain a place in the league once they can exert their strength.

The Pistons must be unhappy with the Rockets' substitute for "no reason". Although the game has actually ended, the two sides are still competing secretly.

Will Bynum passed the ball to Monroe, and Monroe handed the ball to Ben Gordon, who was cutting into the basket.

Ben Gordon planned to take three steps directly when he received the ball. Jordan Hill was being entangled by Deye at this time and had no choice but to rush to the basket to make up for defense.

So, after receiving the ball, Gordon picked up the basketball and took a step.

But at this moment, a "high wall" was standing in front of him. In the flash, Gordon didn't see anything clearly, only saw the big No. 5 on his chest!

"No. 5, that Chinese!?" Ben Gordon quickly reacted, but he couldn't figure out how that guy made up for defense so quickly.

Subconsciously, Gordon wanted to find McGrady. But before he found McGrady, he collided with Link.

Link's position was very terrible, and happened to be outside the line in the reasonable collision zone. Therefore, when both of them fell to the ground, the referee's whistle sounded.

"Offensive foul, Rockets' ball rights!"

As soon as the penalty was released, the whole audience was filled with exclamations. Making an offensive foul is not a simple skill, especially for rookies.

Generally speaking, those who are good at creating offensive fouls are old foxes who have been living in the league for many years. Their grasp of the timing and position of the defense has reached a perfect level.

But it is the first time that most people have seen a rookie who can create an offensive foul so well.

After hearing the referee's decision, Link, who was lying on the ground, waved his fists excitedly. Indeed, Link was a rookie, but the energy in his body came from an old football player who had been in the league for more than ten years.

Therefore, creating an offensive foul is a completely conditioned behavior for Link.

Just as Link was about to get up by himself, Jordan Hill appeared in front of Link. He stretched out his hand friendly and pulled Link up.

"Good job, man, maybe we should start training together as soon as possible." Hill finished and patted the terrifying Link on the back.

Link was very pleased that being able to gain the trust of his teammates is sometimes more important than defeating his opponent.

After two rounds of attack and defense, Link did not score or even took action. But in the eyes of many people, his image has completely changed.

"He is really smart, isn't he?" Adelman smiled from ear to ear off the court. A player with strong physical fitness may not be able to train well. But a player with extremely high basketball IQ, the old coach believes that he can make a difference.

At this time, there was only 1 minute and 8 seconds left in the game. Everyone was looking forward to one thing Link scored in the NBA.

But Link didn't think so much. He knew very well that he was positioned as a role player in the Rockets, so he would not do stupid things like Jermaine Taylor.

As long as he can help the team in the offense, Link can accept it even if he doesn't score.

As a character player, the most important thing is to show his own value. Scoring for the sake of scoring will make the character player lose his own value.

With the lessons of the last offense being blocked, Jermaine Taylor dared not show off. He knew very well that although it was garbage time, the Pistons' substitute would not easily give in.

So this time, he hung the ball to Jordan Hill, hoping that the center who was calling the wind and rain in that college could solve the problem by himself.

But Dayer's defense is not soft at all, especially after Hill completed the aerial relay, he did not allow Hill to score again.

Jordan Hill is not good at playing ball and his skills are very average. In 2019, he is a pie-type center.

Facing Dai Ye's top defense, Hill really has no good idea.

At the same time on the outside, McGrady found that her matchup was beginning to restless.

He first cut into McGrady's right, but suddenly ran back halfway through!

McGrady followed up with the first back-run. But he had just changed his center of gravity, but unexpectedly the guy ran back-run for the second time in a row!

At this time, due to injury, McGrady's legs and feet were no longer so straightforward, and she could not change direction twice in a row with Link.

At this time, McGrady finally knew why Link looked so familiar. His way of getting rid of defense was exactly the same as Grant Hill after the injury!

The owner of the former Toyota Center shook his head helplessly, and today he has completely become the background board of the rookie.

Seeing Link get rid of McGrady and cut into the penalty area, Hill was not stingy, but hit the ground and sent the ball to Link. After all, Jordan Hill may be the one who is most willing to pass the ball to Link in the game.

Link received the basketball and directly raised the basketball with one hand and jumped up.

At the same time, Greg Monroe arrived. He wanted to let the draft pick know that the NBA's penalty area was not something you could leave as you wanted.

Monroe jumped suddenly, and countless Rockets fans closed their eyes. They really couldn't bear to see the scene of No. 5 being bleeding.

However, Link crossed his body in the air and just rubbed his way past Monroe. He gritted his teeth and clasped his fingers until he dunked the basketball into the basket!

Indeed, Grant Hill's athletic ability declined significantly after the major injury. But there is a fact that people may not believe in Hill in the Sun era, but occasionally they can stage a good dunk!

Although it is difficult for Hill to dunk in the 10-11 season, it is still no problem to avoid defensive players in the air to complete the dunk.

Therefore, Link completed such a wonderful dunk. Although he passed by the air and avoided Monroe, visually, it was still very similar to a dunk across the street.

The moment Link completed the dunk, half of the fans of Toyota Center stood up. This time, not only Chinese fans, but also many local Houston fans stood up to cheer for Link.

Slam dunks are one of the most exciting moments on the basketball court, and no one doesn't like this one-handed slam dunk with defense.

"Do you think he is a soft man who can only pass and be clever? I just thought so too. But there is no doubt that Link reminded us with this dunk, and our guess was wrong. Congratulations to Link, he won his first point in the NBA in an extremely explosive way!"

Chris Webber smiled. A minute ago, he didn't know who the No. 5 was. But from today on, Webber promised that he would not forget that name again.
Chapter completed!
