Reverse Growth Superstar
Chapter 9
Sufords sky power team is definitely the hot team to win the championship in this year's Development League. Because they have two players from the NBA.
They were Luke Babbitt and Hassan Whiteside, a violent center at Marshall University.
Babbitt and Whiteside are both rookies this year. The former was selected 16th in the first round, while the latter was a second round.
Generally speaking, only the marginal players who can't play in the NBA will come to play in the league. But even players like this exist at the level of "big killers" for the Development League.
Link remembers that before crossing over, he had seen the news that Yi Jianlian had played in the Development League. He still remembers that Yi Jianlian's performance in the Development League was very brilliant, and there was no problem with an average of 20 + 10.
However, in the NBA, Yi Jianlian's performance is extremely unstable. Although I don't want to admit it, Yi Jianlian at that time was indeed a marginal man.
It can be seen that there is a huge gap between NBA and Development League. Most of the players or rookies that NBA doesn't want to play in the Development League are able to play a dominant performance.
It's the same with Luke Babbitt, although the white forward is temporarily out of the NBA. However, he has been able to score 18.9 points and 6.3 rebounds per game in the Development League this season,
therefore, the strength of sky power team with two relegated players should not be underestimated.
Besides, link also knows that Hassan Whiteside is not a good guy to mess with. He knows that the center who can't play in the NBA now will become an all star giant in the future. In the Development League, Whiteside can get 3.2 blocks per field, which is enough to show his defensive talent.
So this game is bound to be very hard for the blue team.
"I want you to play an efficient attack, give me to attack the opponent's interior line, must bite the opponent in the attack end!"
Before the start of the game, Connor was nervously arranging tactics in front of the first five tigers. And the man he spoke of who needed to be efficient was Joan Brockman.
Brockman, the only blue player to be relegated from the NBA, has always been expected. It's just a pity that his performance is a little sorry for his status as an NBA player.
So far this season, Brockmann has only 15.1 points per game, and the three-point shooting rate is only 23.7%. On the defensive side, he was rough, but not smart, and was often fouled by his opponents.
But even more troubling to Connor is that Brockman is the only one he can hope for. Against Luke Babbitt today, only Brockman can play against him.
"I see, I know. Just give me the ball." Brockman waved his hand impatiently, as if the coach were talking nonsense.
At the beginning of the game, there was not much cheering in the stadium where only 2000 people were present. However, the basic conditions of the Development League match with that of the NBA, such as the stadium environment.
So when link sat on the bench watching the game, he was a little excited. After all, this is his first time to watch a professional basketball match live!
"Link!"
As link looked around like a bumpkin, Connor suddenly yelled at him.
"I am!" Link hurriedly turned back. His palms were sweating.
"Always be ready and remember, I don't want you to make mistakes as you did last time."
After that, Connor didn't say anything more. Instead, he focused on the basketball court.
Link clenched his fist to himself. His performance in the training match yesterday must have impressed Connor. If Brockman doesn't work later, Connor is bound to try it on his own. At that time, it is an opportunity to show yourself!
The referee whistled and the game began.
Whiteside naturally won the right to attack the ball easily. His physical condition and athletic ability are absolutely top-level in the Development League.
Sky power's point guard took the ball half-time before handing it to university star Luke Babbitt. Joan Brockman posted it immediately, and the match between the two white strikers attracted much attention!
Brockman sticks to Babbitt very closely, after all Babbitt has always been a player known for his projection.
However, Babbitt didn't put Brockman's defense in mind at all. He broke through with the ball directly and made Brockman clean in one step!
"How fast Link widened his pupils, and according to his memory before he crossed, Luke Babbitt did not have the ability to break the ball. His speed has nothing to do with the word "fast" in the NBA.
But in the development alliance, Babbitt's breakthrough is so skilled.
This has something to do with the fact that link is the first time to watch a professional game, because even those CBA players who usually look slow on TV, they feel very fast when they go to watch the ball.
Babbitt successfully broke through, and then bravely went into the inside line and started to lay up. Like Brockman, Babbitt is not a soft white man. His style of playing is very aggressive.In fact, if he is a soft man, he will not play in the NBA for so many years. Those who look average in the NBA are top players in other leagues.
The exasperated Brockman intends to run after him, but in the air he is surprised to find that Luke Babbitt is a layup with his left hand!
Even the NBA level guard, can skillfully use the left hand is very few, let alone Babbitt is a height of 2.06 forward.
After all, this guy was born left-handed.
Brockman couldn't make it, but gave Babbitt a chance to play 2 + 1. Connor helplessly held his forehead, all of them were from the NBA, how could the gap be so big?
At the beginning of the match, Brockman even gave a boo to the fans.
But Brockman didn't care. He didn't care about the victory. The guy's only concern is whether he can get good data.
So the next attack, Brockman and teammates did not do any cooperation, take the ball on his own.
However, his poor dribbling level can not break through Babbitt's defense, and his layup can only end with iron.
At this time in the stands, I don't know how many scouts have drawn a fork on Brockman's name. The gap between him and Luke Babbitt was clear.
The next few rounds were a disaster for Brockman. On both sides of the attack and defense, he had no way to take Luke Babbitt.
Babbitt's projection is better than Brockman's, and his height is 3 cm more than Brockman's. And not against Brockman at all.
No matter how big you are in college, you have to start all over again when you enter professional basketball. No one will care how you used to be. People just look at what you can bring to the team now.
Nothing can compare with others, NBA will not want you. If you want to enter the world's top basketball league and get millions of annual salary, the competition is so cruel.
Four minutes after the first quarter, Luke Babbitt had already scored seven points on Brockman's head! And the blue team is also early 5 points behind, which undoubtedly makes connar very passive.
If it wasn't for upshaw's three-point run through the net in just one round, the blue team would be far behind.
As a result, the bareheaded coach took the lead in stopping the game, and link and the other substitutes gathered around.
Although the next coach's tactics may have nothing to do with their substitutes, they still have to listen to the pretense.
Link was at the far end of the crowd because as a marginal player, he didn't expect to play so early.
In the middle of the crowd, however, link heard Connor's cry.
What about link!? Link! Come here, in the middle! Listen, I need you on the court to help the team get close to the score with the three-point ball! Try to run without the ball and seize the opportunity
Link swallows, and he doesn't even believe his ears.
"What are you doing!? Take off your training clothes
Meanwhile, Joan Brockman's face was black. He knows that his trust with the manager is not enough.
"Hey, don't be nervous. As I did in training, I'll pass you the ball
Upshaw slapped link on the shoulder and the show was on.
