011: My name is Link, not a nobody
Luke Babbitt does not intend to stay in Sky Power for too long. His goal is to return to the Trail Blazers.
There are only two ways to return to the NBA. One is to wait for the main player of the Trail Blazers to be injured. If a player who happens to be in the same position as him is absent due to injury, he is very likely to be recruited.
Of course, this method has too many chances. And after the injured player returns, the recruited players are likely to be deported again.
Another method, and the safest way, is to perform dominantly in the Development League. As long as you can perform brilliantly, the NBA team will naturally become interested in the decentralized players again.
After all, rookies like Babbitt have signed guaranteed contracts with the team, and the Trail Blazers will not let their millions of dollars be wasted.
So, for Babbitt, returning to the NBA is actually just one way to play every game and beat every match!
A few minutes before the game, the silly big man, Joan Brockman, was obviously beaten. But Babbitt did not expect that No. 5, who could not even name the name, could actually hit a three-pointer on his head.
And before shooting, he showed a lingering smile.
Babbitt knows that the undraft is different from their first round picks. The undraft is willing to fight every game for a 10-day short contract for the NBA team.
However, most of the undrafts can't beat the first round pick even if they play with their lives. Babbitt has seen many such things. This time, he will not let any accidents happen!
"Luke, what are you doing!? Be serious, I won't allow you to let him score again!"
At the same time, the head coach of Sky Power shouted at Babbitt. It was obvious that the head coach was also very dissatisfied with his conceding goal just now.
Babbitt waved his hand to the bench, indicating that he would not make any mistakes again. Luke Babbitt played in college for two years, but never heard of the No. 5 name. He believed that a bottom-level player in NCAA could not threaten himself as an NBA player!
"Link, be careful, that guy is not easy to deal with!"
Seeing Luke Babbitt approaching fiercely, Zike Upshaw shouted at Link.
"Well, don't worry, look forward to your own people!" Link also pointed to Upshaw's counterattack, signaling him not to miss defense.
Connor couldn't help but feel a little strange when he looked up the actions of Upshaw and Link. Although it is normal for teammates to communicate with each other on the basketball court, the Development League is a bit special because teammates are also competitive.
But those two guys, Link and Upshaw, didn't look like competitors at all.
While thinking, Babbitt received a pass from his point guard and was preparing to play singles. Connor also focused on his attention. He wanted to see how much the Asian could do. He could defend Brockman on the training ground, so can he counterattack Babbitt on the court?
"That idiot, watch it, he will be torn to pieces by Babbitt."
At this time, Joan Brockman, who was sitting on the bench, started to sarcastically. But when he heard this, Connor didn't feel strange, because it was more like the norm in the Development League.
Luke Babbitt really wanted to tear the No. 5 in front of him, but Link looked very confident and calm.
Link still remembers that in the 2010 Western Conference Finals, the Suns encountered the Lakers. Although Grant Hill was 37 years old at that time, he was still the most effective player in the Suns' defense against Kobe.
Since I now have the ability of Grant Hill, there should be no problem defending a delegated rookie!
"Damn it!" Luke Babbitt was a little nervous because Link was too calm and didn't look like a rookie.
Link stared straight at the basketball in Babbitt's hand, as if he could steal it at any time.
"You will be over soon, unknown!" In order to relieve his tension and suppress Link's momentum, Luke Babbitt even spitted out trash talk.
But it is obvious that this guy has no research on trash talk, because his words have no effect on Link.
Babbitt made a three-threatening move with the ball, and Link's center of gravity was unmoved at all, and his emotions were not affected by trash talk.
Seeing this, Babbitt simply broke through directly and planned to use his strong body to forcibly break through.
"He's finished." Brockman smiled. He couldn't even beat Babbitt just now, let alone Link's soft cock.
"Bang!"
There was a muffled sound caused by the collision between muscles on the basketball court, but Link was not knocked away, but Luke Babbitt was bounced back outside the three-point line.
He was completely defeated in physical confrontation!
"What!?" Brockman suddenly stood up, and those who didn't know thought he was celebrating his teammates.
Luke Babbitt's strength is limited to NCAA. Link's strength is now NBA-level!
"Great, he stopped Luke Babbitt's breakthrough. Where did this guy come out? Why didn't anyone mention him at all during the draft?"
Just as the commentators were amazed, Luke Babbitt suddenly pulled out a jump shot outside the three-point line. Like most white forwards, Luke Babbitt has excellent shooting skills and a very stable shooting percentage. He plans to take advantage of Link's opportunity to steal a three-pointer when he has no close fit.
Moreover, Luke Babbitt is still a left-handed player, which makes his attack more difficult to interfere with.
Babbitt reached the highest point and then gently prepared to take action. But just as he pushed the basketball out, Babbitt suddenly felt that there was no sun in front of him.
"This!" The commentator got goose bumps and waited for that moment to happen.
"Bang!" Another loud noise, but this time it was the sound of the palm striking the basketball!
Link gave Luke Babbitt a volleyball hat without mercy outside the three-point line!
"This is a beautiful cover, my god, the whole stadium is crazy!"
The commentator's scalp is tingling, and it is difficult to see such a block in the Development League field. Even if there is, it usually happens in the inside line.
A volleyball cap outside the three-point line? It is impossible to complete unless the defense side has overwhelming strength.
In the face of the overwhelming strength gap, it doesn't matter whether the offensive player shoots with his left or right hands.
After the basketball was shot, Zeke Upshaw immediately started. He was paying attention to Link's side, so he rushed out the moment the block was completed.
Upshaw picked up the basketball, and there was no one in front of him. In this way, the black guard made a one-handed dunk. His dunk was naturally not as beautiful as the NBA players, but it was already very encouraging.
Luke Babbitt saw Upshaw's dunk, then immediately turned his head to look at Link in front of him.
Link continued to show his joking smile, then pointed to the name on his back, "Remember what my name is, you unknown man."
Then, Link ignored Babbitt and brimmed with Upshaw.
Working together to defeat the enemy, Link found that he seemed to fall in love with this feeling.
"Damn." At the same time, Joan Brockman screamed off the court. Of course, he was not yelling for Upshaw's dunk, but because of Link's volleyball hat.
But what is embarrassing is that the media once again mistakenly think that Brockman is cheering for Link
"It seems that the atmosphere of the Blues is very good. Even if he is replaced by Link, Brockman will shout for Link's wonderful performance. Such a player is worthy of recognition and affirmation."
If Brockman could hear the commentator, he would definitely be angry to death, and now he has become a clown on the bench?
After that, the game went on for a few more minutes. At first, people thought that Link could block Babbitt just luck. But unexpectedly, since Link came on the court, Babbitt was directly blocked.
That's right, clean seal!
Whether it was holding the ball or not, shooting or breaking through, Babbitt could not score in front of Link.
He seemed to be able to predict the next move for Babbitt and prepare in advance.
After one quarter of the game, Luke Babbitt had gone from being confident at the beginning to being blind. He was defeated by an unknown undraft pick, and anyone would collapse.
However, Link had to eat and drink on Babbitt's head. Although Link rarely attacked with the ball, his catch shot after running without the ball made Babbitt want to cry and call him mom.
Basically, as long as the interference is half a beat slower, Link can score a goal. It is normal for a player who can average more than ten points per game in the NBA to have no solution to the Development League. After all, the defensive intensity is not the same level.
Link kept coming in, Upshaw was always spreading, and he volunteered to be the role of the Green Leaf.
So, Link scored two three-pointers in the first quarter. The whole first quarter added up and scored 12 points in a single quarter!
If Whiteside hadn't guarded the inside and gave Link some psychological pressure, he might have scored more!
"I only have one question now, why did Link lose the election!? Obviously, he is better than most of the players here!"
Chapter completed!
