Zick upshaw, 26, is about to turn 27 in a month and a half.

Height of 1.98 meters, weight of 98 kg, an ordinary guard physical conditions. If you're trying to search the Internet for Zick upshaw, it's a pity that there's nothing more to do than to introduce him to Illinois State University, then to Europe, and back to NBDL.

This is Zick upshaw, a 26 year old, mediocre guy who plays better than tens of millions of people on the planet, but doesn't pay a lot.

He should have had a better future, maybe he could get a 10 day short contract with his three-point percentage. Then, with the NBA, may be able to get a longer contract extension, perhaps a year's base salary?

At least when he can't run or jump high, he can say to himself, "I was an NBA player, I realized my dream."

He should have had unlimited possibilities, but it all disappeared at the moment of his cardiac arrest.

"It's hard for me to believe that the next chapter in his life will be lost to the world."

This is the blue team coach Connor said to the reporters, but also let link the most impressive sentence.

After upshaw's death, only Oklahoma's local news coverage of the event was very hot. Many other parts of the United States don't even know that a professional player died in the game. No wonder link had never heard anything about Zick upshaw.

How can this kind of news spread abroad even if there is no universal coverage in the United States?

People continue to commute and the NBA continues to perform. The earth is still spinning and life is going on.

No one will notice such a player. After all, he is too small compared with the familiar players.

He's not like James who can carry two people to complete the slam dunk every night, unlike Kobe who can kill the game in a cold-blooded manner at critical moments. He didn't have a luxury car to bask in. He had nothing to do with his endorsement and business activities.

He's just a player who plays, struggles with the Oklahoma blue team, and makes money to support his family.

A guy who looks forward to playing in the NBA every night, who has this dream to fight in NBDL, that's all.

Or, to put it in a more empathetic word for link - a player at the bottom.

After upshaw's funeral, link went home and looked out the window at the street.

"Go ahead."

The words upshaw wrote to him in his letter had been wandering in link's mind.

Played with by Carl Jones and Morey, and kicked out of the NBA. Linkburn thought his career was bad enough. But it's not worth the effort.

After returning from the Rockets, link automatically returned to the Oklahoma blue team with an annual salary of $13000. From 50000 in 10 days to 13000 a year, not everyone can stand the difference.

But link is not afraid, because he will go forward.

The rocket team incident, also let link wake up from a good dream. From time to time, Linx's cell phone rang out at an inopportune time. The caller ID was a strange number, but when he got through, link heard Carl Jones.

"Don't be stubborn, silly boy! Without me, you will be nothing! Listen, I heard the Golden State Warriors are interested in signing you. If you continue to be obedient, I promise you will still be able to carry tens of thousands of dollars home in these ten days

Without even calling, Carl Jones answered the phone and said a lot.

"Do you repeat the last sentence?" Link wanted to hang up directly, but suddenly he had something to say to his former manager.

"I said, Golden State warrior..."

"no," interrupted link, "one more sentence."

"Without me, you would have done nothing!" Jones answered without showing any weakness.

"Well, take care of it, you bastard. I can live better without you. I can get a big contract, I can win millions or even tens of millions of endorsements. I don't have to go to some goddamn Park, I don't have to go to a restaurant to try. I can do anything without you. Without me, you can only be a charlatan all your life. Because from now on, you will lose the trust of me and everyone else. "

"Who do you think you are? You're just a garbage player nobody wants... "Before Carl Jones finished, link hung up.

This boy will not trust a stranger so easily, and he will not be manipulated. Of course, he knew he didn't have to be so friendly to everyone. What's more, he is still a man who once cheated him.

After hanging up, link walked out of the house. Life has to go on, and his NBA career has not been completely blocked.Originally, because he had just returned from the rockets and had been waiting for upshaw in the hospital for the past two days, Connor wanted link to rest for two days before training.

But at this moment, link does not want to wait for a minute, he knows that he must go forward!

So when Connor saw link on the training ground, he was very surprised.

"Didn't I tell you to give you two days off?"

"No, I don't need to rest, coach." Faced with the question, link answered categorically.

"As far as I know, you haven't slept for two nights. You know, I can't lose my players anymore! "

"I had a good night's sleep, coach. I just want to play. Don't worry, I'll make sure I'm full of energy tomorrow

Link was still practicing on his own, with no intention of stopping.

"He's right, chief. What's more, we really need him tomorrow

When Connell and link's "negotiations" reached an impasse, a third voice suddenly interposed. Link turned his head and saw that it was his former enemy, Joan Brockman.

"Tomorrow, our opponent is the Rio Grande Valley vipers. What would we do with Amare Carroll, the Viper forward, without link? Don't worry. Today he will go back to have a good sleep, and he will be full of energy tomorrow. Right? Link. "

Looking at Brockman who is smiling at himself, link is a little stunned. He didn't expect Brockman to speak for himself.

"By the way, the o'grande Valley vipers are part of the Houston Rockets. You don't want him to miss the game, boss. Houston abandoned him, and now they're coming back. Let me fight with link, let's give some color to those bastards in Houston

"Yes Seeing Brockman's enthusiasm, link struck while the iron was hot. "Even for Zick, we can't lose the next game! Let's take Zick off with a big win

Connor looked at the two strikers in front of him and was also very surprised. Linck and Joan Brockman were on the same line, and Conor was a little overwhelmed.

But I have to admit that he was convinced. The vipers were a significant opponent for link, and it was his chance to demonstrate to the rockets that had abandoned him.

And upshaw has just passed away, and the team really needs a big win to boost their morale. But the blue team will be very passive if no one goes against the Viper star demare Carroll.

"I'll control your playing time, and you'll come home early after training today, and you're not allowed to stay and practice. If you can do it, I'll show you tomorrow

Conor finally made a roundabout compromise. Instead of answering yes or no, link went up and hugged Connor and whispered in his ear, "thank you."

Then link and Brockman both looked at each other.

"Don't get me wrong, Zick is also my teammate and I'm sad. So, I also want to give him a victory. Of course, like you, I hate bastards who look down on us. The Rockets didn't sign you. I have to say, this is the most stupid operation in the history of their team

Brockman opened his hand and turned away.

Link looked at Brockman's far away back, picked up the basketball on the ground and clenched his teeth.

Houston, rockets subordinate team, upshaw, and star opposition... These key words, let link can not suppress the blood in his body.

Tomorrow, "Viper" will be slaughtered by yellow skinned warriors in Oklahoma!
