Reverse Growth Superstar

: Twenty-four: familiar posture

   Although he didn't get a chance to play the whole game, Link was very excited all night.

   After all, this is the Toyota Center, this is the NBA, and this is the place he could only watch on TV.

   Next to him was Chase Budinger, and then "Little Steel Cannon" Kyle Lowry, Jordan Hill, Courtney Lee and other familiar Rocket stars.

   Behind him are nearly 20,000 avid fans. In the Development League, the number of fans around 2,000 has made Link feel extremely shocked. At the Toyota Center, there are ten times as many people watching the development league! Similarly, the cheers are ten times higher than in the development league games.

   In addition, the fierce confrontation on the court, the rapid whistle of the referee and the roar of the players and the coach all made Link’s adrenaline soaring.

   A position like the bench is impossible to buy with money. As a fan, it is strange that Link can follow in such an atmosphere.

   Therefore, even in the last garbage time, Link still saw it with relish. Argentine Scola's performance today is perfect, he replaced Yao Ming to rule the penalty area.

   Watching Scola sweat and win on the court, Link also wanted to experience this feeling very much and wanted to contribute to the team's victory.

   But obviously, this is not realistic. Yesterday he participated in a full day of business activities, and today he is training separately from the team. Under such circumstances, the head coach will definitely not send himself on the court.

   But Link is not discouraged, he still has two chances to play. As long as he can perform well in one of the games, maybe he can sign the second ten-day short contract?

   Just as Link was thinking about it, the Pistons called the game to stop. There are still 1 minute and 48 seconds left before the end of the game, but the Pistons are nearly 20 points behind.

   Judging from the Pistons' performance before today, they are unlikely to tie the score. Therefore, the purpose of this timeout should be to replace the main players and announce that the game has completely entered garbage time.

   Link stood up and high-five the players off the court. Although he and the Rockets players are not familiar yet, he still has to be polite.

After    high-five, Link sat back at the end of the bench. He found that many cameras were facing him. As a yellow-skinned player, I am never afraid of not having a camera. It's a pity that he can't perform for those Chinese fans who love him today.

   "Link! Come here!"

   At this time, in the noisy scene, Link heard a shout.

   His heart beats suddenly, then he turns to look at Adelman. At first, Link thought he had heard it wrong. Because today, he thought Adelman was calling himself more than once, and the result was just his own fantasy.

   But when Link saw Adelman beckoning to himself, he couldn't help shaking.

   This time, he is really calling himself!

   Everyone in the Rockets looked at Link in surprise, looking at this new teammate who had never practiced with them. Link also froze for a moment, but quickly tore off the disposable training suit and ran to Adelman.

  He came to the NBA, isn't he just playing games! ?

   "Link took off his training uniform. Coach Adelman intends to let him play in the last two minutes. Let's see what kind of performance Link can bring us!"

   At the same time, the CCTV commentator yelled with excitement. This is the second time the Rockets have a Chinese player after Yao Ming fell.

   Although it is just garbage time, although it is only less than two minutes in the last, but at this time, all the fans in China who have time to watch the game have their eyes on Link.

   The huge Chinese market was completely mobilized by the Rockets at this time.

   Adelman looked at Link, and did not plan any tactics. He only said one sentence, but it made Link full of fighting spirit.

   "Remember, don't lose this passion."

   Adelman finished, and before Link could react, he pushed him into the court.

   At that moment, the Toyota Center issued overwhelming cheers, and countless Chinese fans stood up from their seats. They were extremely proud at this time.

   "Who is this guy? I remember the Rockets didn't have this number in the last game." On the live commentary stage, Chris Weber, who explained the game, was not as enthusiastic as the Chinese fans and CCTV commentators.

"Tom Lin, nicknamed Link. Two days ago, he also played for the Oklahoma Blues. The day before yesterday, he just signed a 10-day short contract with the Rockets. His performance in the past two games in the Development League Not bad, they scored a triple-double on Luke Babbitt and a double-double on Stephenson. It is also because of these two games that he attracted the attention of the NBA."

   Next to Webber, Kevin Harlan read according to the information. He didn't have any expectations of Link. All fools knew what the Rockets were about signing Link.

   In today's recession for the Rockets, no one can match the eyeballs a Chinese player can win for them.

   As for the performance of this Chinese? Who cares?

   Link stepped into the court under the contemptuous eyes of Weber and Harlan. He saw the big "R" LOGO in the center of the court, and his heartbeat accelerated.

   The Toyota Center is so special for every Chinese fan, and he has stepped onto the floor of the Toyota Center 9 years ago.

   At this time, both sides have replaced the full bench. The Rockets have sent Jermaine Taylor, Courtney Lee, Link, Patrick Patterson and Jordan Hill, which is a veritable garbage time lineup.

   On the Pistons side, they replaced Will Bynum, Ben Gordon, Austin Daye and Monroe. It is worth mentioning that the Pistons still left Tracy McGrady on the court. After all, the Pistons are suffering from injuries, and Hamilton and Prince are both old and should not play for too long. As a result, McGrady, who played as a substitute, had to finish the garbage time.

   Now, trash time instantly becomes worth seeing. Because people have discovered that Link will face up with McGrady!

   After the start of the game, the Rockets took the lead in attacking. In fact, Link hopes to partner with Lowry, but now Lowry has become the Rockets' main point guard, so he can only endure Jermaine Taylor's slow advancing speed.

   Link did not know any tactical arrangements of the Rockets, so he could only rely on his instinct to read the game to move. He pulled to the bottom corner on the right and made as much space as possible for his teammates.

  Taylor is really welcome. Seeing his teammates open the space, he actually raised his hand to ask for a cover at Jordan Hill. As a marginal person who may be cut at any time, Taylor naturally hopes to deepen his impression in Adelman's heart through one or two highlights.

   So, after Hill's screen was in place, Taylor broke through with the ball.

   Don't think that everyone will not work hard when the game is in trash time. Although the outcome of the game has been determined, everyone is a substitute player. In order to play time, they definitely want to play well.

   Therefore, the Pistons backup point guard Will Bynum has a very tight defense.

   Will Bynum is only 1.83 meters tall. It is undoubtedly very difficult for him to survive in the NBA at his height. After all, there are not many geniuses like Paul in this world.

   is not tall enough, try hard to get it together. Bynum's defense was fierce, which greatly delayed Taylor's breakthrough speed.

   Therefore, when Taylor went inside and was about to use his height advantage to force a layup, Pistons backup center Daye had rushed over.

   Daye is not a popular star. The peak of his career was winning the championship with the Spurs in the 13-14 season.

   Although this guy has mediocre abilities, he has an active defense, especially his dedication to steals and blocks.

   Therefore, this California inside line rushed to the side while Taylor took off and jumped high, like playing volleyball, and fanned the basketball that Jermaine Taylor had raised!

   "Oh! Too bad, who Jermaine Taylor thought he was? Russell Westbrook? Hahahahaha."

   Webber and Harlan on the commentary stage laughed together when they saw Taylor taking his own humiliation over and over.

   The basketball was fanned out and went straight to the bottom corner on the right. Seeing that he was about to go out of bounds, he was held by a pair of big hands.

   It's Link, the Houston No. 5 who played for the first time received the basketball!

   "Link caught the rebound, UU reading www.uukanshu.com This is his first valid stat in the NBA. But I believe that Tracy will not let him score easily."

   As soon as Weber's voice fell, he saw Link jumping without jumping, and he threw the basketball to the hoop while strolling around.

  Everyone, including Adelman, was shocked! What is this guy doing? Even if it's garbage time, you can't do it so casually! Even if you stand on defense, you can't afford to jump!

   Just when everyone was about to laugh or yell, a black figure suddenly jumped out and caught the basketball flying into the air.

   Then, "Shadow" used all his strength and muscles to smash the ball into the basket!

   "哐!"

   The rim was bent downward by the tremendous pressure, and people looked intently, Jordan Hill was hanging on the rim. He screamed from the sky after landing, and there is nothing more exciting for Hill than an empty dunk.

   "Air relay, this is an air relay! How did he see Hill? As far as I know, this guy and the Rockets have not even practiced together. But...no, it's impossible!"

   Webber covered his head with his hands, and such a secret air-receiving cooperation, logically speaking, should appear in two very tacitly compatible players. But the fact is, this is the first time Link and Hill have competed together!

   There are only two possible explanations for the ball just now, either Link and Hill ran into a dead mouse. Or, that No. 5 can read the game comparable to a point guard!

   Adelman smiled, he likes players who play with their brains. But McGrady looked at Link in amazement. How could he be so familiar with his leisurely posture?

   As for Link, what he thinks now is that he must be able to score the top five goals today.
