When he saw Link dunk again, the fans of the Blues would no longer be surprised. Although Link always looks slow, he can always perform a thunderous blow whenever he has the chance.

In the sad atmosphere of Upshaw's death, Link's dunk undoubtedly greatly boosted the morale of the scene. It not only boosted the morale of his teammates, but also boosted the morale of the fans.

After Link finished the dunk, he heard the audience shouting his name. Although there were not as many fans here as NBA and the shouting was not as intense, Link felt very pleased.

In Houston, he is just a clown who attracts the attention of the Rockets. But here, in Oklahoma, at home in the Blues, he is the hero of this group of fans!

This is the first time, Link fully felt what home court is.

He was wearing Upshaw's No. 0 jersey, and behind him were teammates and fans who supported him, he was not afraid of anything now!

"I have never seen any D-League game that will be so hot. Link seems to bring the NBA's popularity back to Oklahoma. The Vipers will not pass the mark easily today, and the Houston Rockets will pay the price because they did not renew their contract with Link!"

In this fanatical atmosphere, Vipers point guard Larry Morris passed the half-time possession. Larry Morris, a star point guard in college, played in Washington State for three years and was out of the draft.

As a college star, Morris is just an inconspicuous little stone in the Development League. The reason why he lost the election is mainly because his height is only 1.80 meters and his scoring ability is not that strong. Moreover, his ability to compete in professional competitions is quite a loss.

Don't think it's strange that the college star point guard is out. The familiar Heat point guard Charmos was originally a mop in the NCAA semi-finals. What was the result? He was only selected in the second round.

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

But he waited for a long time in the gap between the midfield line and the three-point line, but still couldn't successfully pass the ball. Because of the yellow skin wearing the No. 0 jersey, his marking of Carol was quite "unkind".

"Carol tried to get rid of Link, but was unable to succeed for a long time. His running position seemed too immature to Link. The tragic ending of Luke Babbitt and Lance Stephenson seemed to be about to reappear in Carol!"

"Link's defense is definitely at the NBA level. In the Rockets' three games, he has adapted to the NBA's game rhythm. Going back to the Development League, the game is a breeze for him!"

The commentators all exclaimed at Link's defensive ability. Carol himself is not a player with particularly strong independent scoring ability. Although he is active, his athletic ability is very average.

Both athletic ability and scoring ability are not superior, and it is almost a fantasy to Carol want to get rid of Link.

During the entire defense, Link stuck to Carol like glue on his hands. This forward with an exaggerated dreadlock and looked like a wild warrior, was tamed by Link as if he could not find his way out.

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

Morris, who is only 1.80 meters tall, seemed to be inconfident after breaking through, so he did not choose to make a layup by himself, but instead hit the ball to the Vipers center who was going down.

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

I saw Joan Brockman flying from the side with a powerful attitude and flew out the basketball in the center of the Vipers! This big white bear, who was in the NBA, came to the Development League, but there was a gate of the penalty area.

The basketball went out of bounds and the Vipers' offense was destroyed. Brockman glared at the other party fiercely, then turned around and brimmed with Link.

Connor off the court smiled with relief. As the coach of the Blues, he had never seen the atmosphere of this team so good in the past few years.

Link's appearance made the team's chemistry very subtle. He is not only a good player, but also a good teammate. To put it bluntly, Connor believes that Link will one day become a good leader.

"Damn Houstonians, they are asking for trouble." In the end, Connor commented to himself on the sidelines.

Although the Vipers still retain the ball at this time, their confidence has been greatly hit.

The "death front line" composed of Link and Brockman made the Blues' defense extremely tight.

As expected, after one attempt to attack, the Vipers still did not score. Carol could not receive the ball, and the others were intimidated by Brockman and did not dare to go to the basket. The Vipers could only barely take action from the outside, and their efficiency could be seen.

With just one offense and one defense, the Blues seemed to have already taken the initiative in the game. The Vipers players were all in fear. What they met today was not a group of players, but an angry beast!

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

Logically speaking, defense is the real value of Carol. This forward with a positive attitude has always been well received by the contributions of this defensive end.

Therefore, he also wanted to use close defense to limit Link, but what made him difficult now is that he didn't know whether he should press on or prevent Link from breaking through.

Although Link doesn't look fast, his pace is weird and he can cut to the basket without realizing it. Thinking of Link's dunk 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 walk to the basket.

Besides, Carol didn't let Link go far. If Link wanted to shoot, he would have enough time to block it.

This black forward still thought Link too simple. If he knew that his opponent was Grant Hill, he would probably not dare to be so cautious.

Link still did not hold the ball. He walked to the right side of the court wearing the No. 0 jersey. But he did not stay outside the three-point line, but walked in.

Carol was secretly happy, his strategy was right!

But Link hadn't cut to the basket yet, but just entered the three-point line and the Blues' point guard passed the ball!

Link received the basketball and suddenly stopped urgently. He came in at two steps from the three-point line, and then pulled up and shot!

Carol was caught off guard. He thought Link would go to the basket, but he didn't know that the opponent suddenly stopped and jumped. He was impatient and blocked him immediately, but when he reacted, the No. 0 had already completed the attack.

Shooting is Grant Hill's strength during this period and is also the main scoring method. Whether it is mid-range or three-pointer, Grant Hill has done a very good job.

Link is very clear that in the future, mid-range shooting will be almost extinct. Most players will either choose to shoot three-pointers or directly kill the basket. But Link is very clear that mid-range shooting is an ancient and cost-effective skill. The premise is that you have to shoot very accurately.

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

In the second consecutive round, Demare Carroll was scored by Link. At this time, Carroll had only one question in his mind why the Rockets didn't renew this guy? Are their brains broken?

※※※

Darrell Morey has been in a good mood these days. He has successfully used the Chinese player to attract a wave of attention for only $50,000.

Now, the Rockets' attendance rate per game is gradually recovering, and the ratings per game are gradually increasing. Most importantly, he has stabilized the Chinese market.

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

As for the Chinese undraft? Who cares? This is how the Development League players are. They always come and leave silently. In another week, everyone will forget who Link is.

Morey does not renew Link's contract, except that Link is not in his plan, but also because Morey feels that Link's strength cannot beat NBA.

In his opinion, Link is just a soft man with a high basketball IQ but a mess of physical fitness. Moreover, Link is 22 years old, so he definitely has no potential to explore in the future. Morey doesn't think he can do anything for a young player with a physical fitness of just like his thirties or forties.

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 on a undraft.

Although it is a bit cruel, business is business.

Just as Morey was still savoring his "victory" over the past few days, he received a call from his scout.

"Darell, you haven't fallen asleep yet?"

"No, what's the matter?"

"I don't think you should give up on the Chinese-American draft."

"Ah?" Morey was stunned for a moment. What's going on? Is a scout teaching a general manager how to do things?

When Adelmann protested with Morey when he did not renew his contract with Link, but Morey didn't listen. Why did he listen to a scout?

"Can you give me a reason?" Morey asked back jokingly.
