In the first game of the Rockets, link had 5 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist. Although he didn't play much time, he started his NBA career very well with two shots selected into the top five.

After the two games, link's performance is still regular.

The Rockets lost against the bucks on December 9. But link's playing time increased to two and a half points, he also cut down seven points and three rebounds. It is worth mentioning that link's shooting rate is 2 out of 3. Out of 7 points, 6 points come from outside the three-point line, plus a free throw, which is very efficient.

On December 10, the rockets hit the Knights back to back. With "crooked" Kevin Martin's 40 point exaggeration, the Cavaliers who lost James were battered to pieces, and the game entered garbage time early.

Fortunately, Lin's 3-and-a-half rebounds were not available in the first 3-and-a-half minutes, because of the three-and-a-half-time rebounding time, Lin got three and a half points.

If it wasn't for a bad shot, link would have scored double-digit points for the first time in the NBA.

So far, after the three games, link and the Rockets 10 day short contract also officially expired. He became more and more famous in Houston, and it was obvious that Adelman had become more and more trusting of him.

In the beginning, link should not have been in the team's plan. But now, Adelman will intentionally or unintentionally increase his playing time.

At the end of the game, link returned home with great expectation and was ready to renew his second 10 day contract tomorrow. He has confidence in his performance in these three games and believes he has done enough to keep him in Houston.

However, when Carl Jones came to find link, the notice he brought was quite different from what link had imagined.

"We have to pack up and go back to Oklahoma City early tomorrow morning."

"What do you say?" Hearing this, link's original happy mood disappeared instantly.

Of course, his face immediately drew down. Link is not Duncan and Leonard. He has a clear love hate relationship. He doesn't like to hide his emotions.

Besides, he had been patient with Carl Jones.

From the beginning, the only thing Carl Jones was busy with was getting him another business.

It is not a serious business activity to attend a supermarket promotion, attend a ribbon cutting ceremony of an unknown brand, or even pretend to go to a restaurant to attract customers. The rewards for these activities range from thousands to tens of thousands of dollars.

Link is not stupid. He knows it's best for Carl Jones. Because he gets 20% of every commercial activity. Although each time the amount is not too much, but a little makes a lot. In just ten days, Carl Jones has also benefited tens of thousands of dollars.

Who doesn't like to make such quick money? Especially to those greedy people like Carl Jones.

Link always thought Carl Jones would focus on NBA contracts when he made enough money, so he didn't care much about him. But for now, Jones failed to live up to link's expectations.

Seeing link's face was not right, Carl Jones quickly explained, "Morey, he didn't intend to let you stay in Houston. He signed you to attract attention. Now that you have played your part, he will not renew your contract

Link does not deny Carl Jones's claim. As a runner, link remembers that in 2018 and 2019, the Los Angeles Lakers signed for Development League player Andrew Ingram twice. The inspirational story of this elder Development League player was very popular in those two years.

But does the Lakers really need Ingram? not. The reason the Lakers did this was to use Ingram's inspirational story to attract attention. Because in those two years, the Laker's record was terrible. If you don't make a story, no one will care about the Lakers.

The Lakers signed Ingram in their first year, and link also felt that the team was human. But still doing it the next year, link felt that the hype was a little disgusting. Has Andrew Ingram really realized his dream? No, he was just used as a tool for hype.

Therefore, it is possible that Morey signed himself for the same purpose. But that's not an excuse for Carl Jones.

"The Rockets don't have my place, and Morey doesn't want to renew his contract... So, apart from those damned business activities, have you ever fought for me? Have you ever sat in front of Morey and confronted him? Or, from the beginning, you knew I couldn't stay in Houston. But you sent me here for the most business value? "

Faced with link's pressing questions, Carl Jones was speechless.

"You said we could create brilliance together, but what you're doing is disappointing me, Carl."

Just as link was furious, his cell phone rang. Link quickly pulled out his mobile phone, he thought things had reversed.

Maybe Adelman convinced Morey? Or did Jordan Hill intercede for himself?But none of them. The caller ID wasn't the name of any of the Rockets. It was from upshaw's mother.

Link gave Carl Jones a vicious look, adjusted his mood, and connected the phone.

"Martha, what's up?"

"Link..."

as soon as the other party spoke, link felt something was wrong because upshaw's mother was crying!

According to previous contacts, link knows that the upshaws are very optimistic people. Especially his mother Martha, no matter how life is, always with a smile. Even if I occasionally complain to link, it's just self mockery.

But at this time, link met the most optimistic wife, but she spoke with a cry.

"What's the matter?"!? What happened? " Link was worried. As we all know, the crime rate near upshaw's house was always high. He thought there was something wrong with upshaw.

"It's Zick. He's in the hospital now. I don't know what happened to him. He suddenly fainted during the game and hasn't woken up yet. The doctor said that he was... "

Martha stopped for a moment, as if to say this word would require great courage for her," the doctor said that he fainted due to cardiac arrest, and he is now under rescue. I don't know what to do, link, and I don't know who to call, i...

when I heard this word, link's hair stood up. All of a sudden, he thought of the little round pill box that upshaw always carried with him.

"Don't worry Martha, I'll get the nearest ticket and I'll be there in a minute. Don't worry, Zick will be OK, he is a professional basketball player

Link hung up in a hurry. He didn't even pack his luggage. He put on his coat and left. A good friend fainted in the game, and he didn't have time to worry about other things.

"Where are you going?" Carl Jones panicked. He knew he couldn't lose the cash cow.

"Back to Oklahoma City, as you wish!" Link replied in a sullen voice.

"Oklahoma City? No, business activities in Oklahoma City will start at noon tomorrow, so we don't need to be in such a hurry. We... "

Carl Jones stopped in the middle of his words, because he found that there was a spark in link's eyes.

"To the fuckin 'business, Carl Jones. You're fired now, you're fuckin 'fired! Go to your next cash cow and stop following me

By the Rockets to give up the renewal, upshaw and unknowingly into the hospital. Link is in a good mood now, and Carl Jones has undoubtedly hit the muzzle of a gun.

He swallowed and was obviously frightened by link. He's never seen link get angry these days. But soon Jones regained his composure and put on a disgusting look. "If you're going to fire me, you'll have to pay me $50000 in liquidated damages, link! It's written in black and white on the contract

When Carl Jones said that, link laughed. Now, he was able to see the true face of Carl Jones. This guy never thought of himself as a friend. He was right. He was just a pawn of Murray and Jones.

One of them needs a draw on a commercial contract, and the other needs a clown to attract fans.

Seeing link stop, Carl Jones joked. He thought he was threatening link. After all, 50000 dollars is not a small sum for a poor kid in the Development League.

However, link decisively took out the check he had just got from the Rockets, then threw it in Carl Jones' face and spat on his shoes.

"You son of a bitch with only money in his eyes, and disappeared from my eyes with a check. I'm sure you'll be killed by money sooner or later! And I'm happy to see that day come

After scolding, Lin pulls up the zipper of his coat and walks out of the rental house.

His trip to Houston is over, but he's not nostalgic at all. The only thing to get back to right now is to get back to shore.
