The away games of the NBDL team are far less comfortable than those of the NBA team.

After defeating Sioux Falls Sky Force with a triple double, the Blues' next opponent will be the Winnburg Crazy Ant from Indiana. This is also the first time Link has played away games with the team after becoming a professional player.

For NBA players, away games are already hard enough. However, in fact, NBA players have very good conditions for away games. Not to mention those in five-star hotels, the various services they enjoy when playing away games are even more mouth-watering.

Players of NBA teams usually take special flights, and more rich teams even own a plane themselves.

Players don’t have to worry about their luggage, because a nanny-like equipment manager will do everything for you. When the players wake up the next day, they will find that their sneakers are placed at the door of their room.

The players' accommodation and dining environment are of course the best. It can be said that the only troubles that NBA players need to solve when playing away games are the unfamiliar environment and the boos of fans in the evening.

However, even so, it is too hard for the players to play away. But if they know the normality of NBDL players playing away, they probably won't feel it's hard.

First of all, it is impossible for the Development League team to provide players with a special equipment manager. This also means that players must prepare them themselves from personal belongings to game supplies.

Secondly, Development League players do not have a special plane to sit on, they all take economic class on ordinary flights. Don’t think this will cause any commotion, because most people don’t know that the person sitting next to them is a professional player.

If you can fly, it is still a long-distance away game. If you play a short-distance away game with a slightly closer distance, the team will arrange to take a bus. The equipment manager can't afford it, and a long-distance driver team can still bear it.

If you want to say what is worth being happy about in the away game, it is that players will get $60 in every away game. But compared with the income of NBA players, this $60 is not worth mentioning at all.

Therefore, the players of the Development League team are truly qualified to say: "It's really hard to play away."

"Link, have you been to Indiana before?" Upshaw, who was sitting on the plane, seemed to be in a good mood. Although the conditions for the DL players to play away are very difficult, after all, it is a blessing for him to take the plane to play away.

"I haven't been there, I only know there are Indiana Pacers there." Link spread his hands and had never even been out of the country before crossing the road. How could he have been to Indianapolis?

"Yes, people only know that there is the Pacers there. But how many people know that there is a Fort Wayne crazy ant there. If you don't talk about this, do you know who your opponent will be tomorrow?"

The Upshaw laughed. He always had the habit of studying opponents before the game started.

"I did my homework this time, Zeke. My opponent is Lance Stephenson, who was transferred from the Pacers. If nothing unexpected happens, that guy should appear in the second and third position."

Link studied the list of Crazy Ants players for Fort Wayne last night. I have to admit that Link didn't know any of the players of the Crazy Ants. But only Link is the name Lance Stephenson.

Although Stephenson is still unknown now, as a fan who has been here since 2019, Link knows very well what kind of actions this guy can do in the future.

One of the most bastard players in NBA history, the first "Jan Chua" in history, the Pacers' hard-blooded guy.

This is a player with a very polarized polarization. Those who love him love him very much, but those who hate him are eager to kill him.

Link has never felt anything about Stephenson, and he doesn't hate or like it. After all, he is not a Pacers fan, and he doesn't watch many games in the Pacers.

But there is one thing Link must admit that a guy who can be sent to face James is definitely not a good guy. Even though Stephenson is not as strong as his peak, he is definitely a player at the level of a big killer in a place like the Development League.

Seeing Link say Stephenson's name, Upshaw instantly looked at his little brother with admiration. The only thing Link could pray for was one more minute of playing time, but now he has begun to think about how to defeat his opponent tonight.

"Lance Stephenson is not a guy who is easy to mess with. I heard that he was transferred this time not because of his lack of strength, but because he violated the team rules again. You know, Larry Bird is an iron-fisted general manager, and he will never allow his team to have a thorn. So when Stephenson makes a mistake, he will throw that guy into the Development League."

Upshaw continued to add to Link's situations related to Stephenson. He did much more homework to his opponent than Link. After all, he was fine when he was idle in the car wash, and Upshaw always liked to study his opponents.

"So, Stephenson may be more difficult than Luke Babbitt. After all, he has the NBA level strength, but his temper is a little weird. Be sure to seize the opportunity, Link. The stronger the opponent you defeat, the greater your chance of entering the NBA!"

Link looked at Upshaw, who was dancing and said nothing more.

He gently flirted with Upshaw. It was already a blessing in his three lives to have such a teammate.

"I will continue to pass the ball to you today, Zike, let's defeat him together."

Link was killed in a motel, but he didn't expect that the team would arrange for them to stay in a motel.

Although he had long expected that the accommodation environment for the Development League team would not be very good, he would at least stay in a hotel worth 200 to 800 yuan.

But it turns out that Link thought of his away trip too well. Judging from the calm expressions of other teammates, staying in a motel should be the norm.

"It's a pity that we won't go to Indianapolis, otherwise I'll introduce Paul George to you."

After coming, he was content with it. After Link accepted the facts, he continued to talk to Upshaw about some things.

"Paul George? Are you talking about the Pacers Paul George? Do you know him?"

"It's not just about knowing me, my relationship with him in college, just like you and me now. He is really a very talented player. I think he was selected in the tenth pick, which is already very low."

"It is enough to prove his talent if a player from an NCAA Division II team is selected in the lottery zone. Don't be anxious, sooner or later you can compete with him. Tomorrow, we will start by defeating his teammates."

While talking, the two had already moved their bags of luggage into the room. Like the NBA team, the players played away from home with two people in one room. There is no doubt that Link and Upshaw became roommates.

The first thing everyone does when they enter the room is to pack their luggage. Link’s things are very routine, such as clothes, sneakers, toothbrushes, towels, etc.

But there was something in Upshaw's luggage that attracted Link's attention.

"What is this? Is it a small medicine box?" Seeing Upshaw take an unusual small round box and put it on the bedside table, Link picked it up and looked it up curiously.

This small round box, the size of a palm, is divided into many small grids, and each grid has some different small tablets. In the past, Link saw many elderly people using such small medicine boxes to sort and load them for easy use.

But Upshaw is not an old man, he is one of the most healthy people in the world.

"Just just carry medicine, don't care." Upshaw replied with a smile, but Link could see that his good friend's smile was not natural.

Seeing that Upshaw didn't want to answer, Link didn't continue asking. He had to go to the venue in the afternoon, so everyone had to hurry up and rest at noon.

It’s no surprise that it scored triple-double in one game, and there are many players who can score triple-double in the Development League. Link must stay focused every game to truly stand out.
