006: You play like...
"Boy, please give me less pride!"
Seeing Link showing off his might in front of him, Brockman was naturally very upset. In previous training classes, Brockman would not give Link any chance to score. Provocation? That was something that Link didn't dare to do at all.
But today, Brockman found that Link was unexpectedly arrogant, as if he had become a different person.
But the striker who graduated from the University of Washington would not be frightened. He knew how inaccurate Link's three-pointer was. The goal just now must be just luck!
A person may be able to make one or two three-pointers in a game because of good luck, but it is impossible for him to keep going.
Brockman told himself that he must seal the damn yellow-skinned monkey in the future!
In the other half, Link's confidence rose sharply because of his goal just now. Although he beat Upshaw last night, Upshaw did not use all his strength, and just pretended to be playing with Link.
So, winning Upshaw didn't make Link very happy.
But just now, I scored a goal on the head of a real professional player. This means that Link really has the ability to stand out in the Development League.
Nonsense, Grant Hill is not good enough, it is impossible for him to not even be able to play in the Development League. And Link, who has Hill's ability, is the same.
So, on the defensive end, Link became extremely excited because of his successful goal just now. He raised his arms, and wanted to fight Brockman to the death.
Link has very long arms, and he is 2.03 meters tall, but he has a wingspan of 2.18 meters. Although he is not perverted, it is not short. It is precisely because Link has an advantage in height and wingspan that the Blues will sign him.
But I didn't expect that this Chinese player from Fresno could not compete and shoot, but his defensive attitude was slightly commendable.
But now Link is different. He can use his long arms to accomplish many things.
Brockman asked for the ball at his own defender as soon as he passed the half. He wanted to score a goal in front of Link to avenge his previous shame.
Brockman was a player from the NBA after all, so he had some say. Therefore, the point guard did not reject his request.
So, in the second consecutive round, Link and Brockman faced each other. However, this time, the offenders and the defenders changed positions.
Most people, including Connor, who was supervising the game on the sidelines, are not optimistic that Link can defend Brockman. He was able to score a three-pointer just now, maybe it was luck, but there was no luck on the defensive end that could help you.
Brockman weighed 18 kilograms more than Link, which was the real 18 kilograms there. Luck, there was no way to make Brockman lose weight instantly.
Most players are ready to start the next round of defense and offense, because based on past experience, Brockman can easily lean on Link to crush the basket, and then choose whether to dunk or layup depending on his mood.
However, because Link actually provoked Brockman just now, the "Big White Bear" will probably pull the basket.
"Diet, bastard!" Brockman started dribbling, but in Link's opinion, he was not skilled in dribbling, and it could even be said to be very lame.
After all, Brockman has always played power forward in college, and most of the time he doesn't need to hold the ball to complete the score. Therefore, holding the ball is actually not Brockman's strength.
The "Big White Bear" carried the ball and ran towards Link.
"Bang!" The muffled sound between the two of them caused pain in the sound of muscle collision. He wanted to assist in defense and help Link. However, when he thought that he was also a good shooting player, Upshaw gave up the idea of making up for defense.
"You must hold on, Link!" Upshaw prayed in his heart.
Link was indeed pushed back by Brockman, and Brockman also took advantage of the victory and forced himself to crush the basket with his weight.
Grant Hill's ability to fight at the end of his career is average, not to mention that the player who is now facing Link is a player who is nearly 20 pounds heavier than him.
Link knew that he couldn't stand it anymore if he wanted to hold on. But Grant Hill's defense never relied on brute force to win. As Hill's fan, Link still remembers the Suns vs. Lakers Grant Hill's Suns team's best defense against Kobe. Every piece of his defense against Kobe is a textbook for ball defense.
Although that year, Kobe defeated the Suns and Hill with his super scoring ability. But that was Kobe after all, and he was one of the most dangerous scorers in the league. However, it would be more than enough to use Grant Hill's ability to deal with Brockman.
What's more, this is a "arm lengthened version" of Grant Hill.
Just when Brockman broke into the penalty area and was about to raise the basketball to finish the dunk, he suddenly found that the basketball was not obedient to him. He looked down and found that it was Link who cut off the basketball when he was about to take three steps!
"What!?" Brockman didn't expect that he would lose, and he was forced to make a mistake by a undraft pick!
Also surprised was Connor, who was supervising the game on the sidelines. Link had just cut the ball just right! An ordinary undrafted pick could not make such a judgment. If he could, he would not have lost the ball!
But miraculously, Link did it.
After cutting off the basketball, Link directly launched a long pass from the backcourt and found Upshaw who had forgotten to run to the frontcourt.
Grant Hill is one of the smartest players in the league. His passing vision, support ability and reading game ability are excellent. Naturally, Link also inherited these characteristics of Hill.
If it weren't for the injury, the title of "the most versatile small forward" should have been used on Hill, not James.
Upshaw caught the basketball steadily, and Link's long pass was just right. The 1.98-meter-high black guard looked at his position and was just outside the three-point line!
So, Upshaw did not hesitate and made a three-point jump shot directly! A three-pointer who was chasing the attack was hollow!
"Hahaha, it's well passed Link." Upshaw shouted readily after scoring the goal, then pointed at Link to show his gratitude.
Link also pointed at Upshaw, which was considered a response.
Beside Link, Brockman's face was already purple. Link, who had traveled through time in 2019, really wanted to tell Brockman, "Your face looks very similar to Thanos."
Well, it would be better to say that you play basketball like the king of food balls.
It’s a pity that the stupid guy definitely doesn’t understand these jokes. He has to consider whether others can understand them if they want to say trash. This is also one of the troubles of time travelers.
"Keep on, Link! Keep going!"
On the sidelines, the bald bishop of the Blues Connor actually cheered up Link. This coach didn't like Brockman's arrogant attitude very much. He always felt that he was delegated from the NBA and was more advanced than these "native" NBDL players.
Brockman's attitude had already made Connor give him a loss.
And Connor also wanted to see what else could that kid Link do. Maybe this guy has started to realize his talent?
"The warm-up is over, idiot!" Brockman was furious. He could always beat Link easily, but he could not accept the fact that he was defeated by Link at once.
Isn't it a laugh to be a player who was deported from the NBA and defeated by a undraft?
So this time, Brockman did not get entangled with Link outside the three-point line. What kind of small forward play style, go to hell! This time, Brockman planned to use his favorite low post attack to shine that yellow-skinned guy!
Brockman sat in the inside line, stuck Link with his back, and then raised his hand to ask for the ball.
Others have begun to feel a little dissatisfied with Brockman. Will you take away the performance opportunities alone in the whole training session?
But scrupulous of Brockman's mood, the point guard still hung the ball in.
Brockman was dominant at the low post at university and had a high goal rate. But his goal was not based on skills, but instead he used his elbow to break the unlucky guy who defended him and then forced the box.
But Link doesn't take this trick. Hill's lower plate in his late years is very stable and it is not so easy to move. Moreover, Link also held Brockman's waist very treacherously, making it inconvenient for him to exert force. Using the experience of an old NBA ball player to deal with a young man, to be honest, it is a bit bullying.
But Brockman didn't know this, he thought he was bullying Link.
Brockman pushed back twice and found that the effect was average. He wanted to turn around and break through again, but found that the route had been strangled to death by Link.
"Damn it!" Brockman lost his patience and everyone watched. This time he had to play even if he had a chance, and even if he didn't have a chance! If he passed the ball, wouldn't it prove that he was timid?
So Brockman made a jump shot. However, a jump shot was not Brockman's strength. Moreover, his height of 2.01 meters has no advantage under Link's height and wingspan.
Link raised his arms high and didn't even jump much, which interfered with Brockman's shot.
As expected, the "Big White Bear" shot hit the box and the attack failed again!
All his teammates cast disgusting eyes at Brockman, and people think he should have passed the ball just now. If you want to play hard, please score the ball. If you can't score and don't pass the ball, do you think you are "Peter"?
"You're so soft that you're just a cup of cake, Joan." Link didn't forget to spit out a trash at Brockman, then ran forward and participated in the attack.
Link in his previous life was not a "good person". He would not take the initiative to provoke others, but if someone provokes him, he would not choose to escape cowardly.
Because Link has always believed that respect is mutual. If you don’t respect me, why do I still respect you?
Upshaw respects Link, so Link is naturally gentle to him. Brockman does not respect Link, so he will receive corresponding treatment.
After the attack, Link hit a steadily one and half of the basket from the middle distance, successfully leading the team to a 7-0 offensive.
Three-pointers, central shots, defense, wonderful news Connor was quite satisfied with Link's performance today. It seemed that the fall the day before yesterday woke him up.
The bald coach touched his chin. In the next game, maybe he could increase the Chinese playing time.
If Link can maintain his form, he should be the x-factor for the Blues.
Chapter completed!
