005: I'm going to score here
Vickerson Connor has been very distressed recently because his team's record is somewhat unsatisfactory.
The new season has started for more than a month. The Blues have played 12 games, but have only won 5 games so far.
Although the DLL competition is far less popular than the NBA, competitive sports, results are everything. Even if it is just a DLL team, they must work hard for better results.
If the performance is not good, the team owner may stop playing. After all, only teams with better results and more potential can be favored by NBA teams. Why in this era when most NBA teams have a subordinate staircase, the Oklahoma City Thunder still ignores the Blue Team?
I just think that the Blue Team is too low and others don’t like it.
If the NBA team cannot attract the acquisition, it will be difficult for small teams in the Development League to survive. Once the team is disbanded, everyone will have to finish it.
Just when Vickerson Connor was at a loss, he saw Link who was knocked unconscious the day before yesterday step into the training ground. Connor immediately met him. He didn't care about Link, but didn't want someone to die in his training hall.
"Link, you can rest for a few more days." Connor, who had a bald head, walked up to Link and checked the back of his head.
"It's okay, the coach, the doctor said I'm not doing anything." Link waved his hand. From now on, he didn't want to waste any exposure opportunity. If he wanted to expose himself on the court, he had to impress the coach in training first.
Otherwise, where did Link get the opportunity to fight NBA? If you don’t fight NBA, wouldn’t Link really want to be a gardener? Then, after traveling through time, continue to live a poor life for the rest of his life?
Therefore, Link would never accept going home to rest. Moreover, in order to make the progress bar fill up quickly, Link would rather train at high intensity every day.
"You looked a bit scary the day before yesterday, and you actually fell and fainted. This way, you won't participate in today's confrontational training, just practice shooting and pace." Connor was still not relieved, after all, Link's previous physical confrontation ability was indeed too poor.
On several occasions, Connor was worried that Link would be broken by Brockman. What's more, Link came out of the hospital.
"It's okay, I can do it. If I can't hold on, I will tell you what I want."
"Yes, boss. Link is in good condition, you will definitely be surprised!" Upshaw spoke from the side. He had seen how good Link is in his condition last night.
"Hahahaha, don't worry, at most three minutes, you will be unable to hold on."
Hearing Link’s conversation with the coach, Joan Brockman, who was warming up beside him, spoke sarcastic words.
"Okay, Brockman, you're doing less during training today! This is a basketball court, not a boxing ring!" Connor responded angrily. Although this coach was harsh, he was not a person who was indistinguishable from black and white.
He doesn't care much about a player's fame and skin color, he only cares whether a player can help the team win.
The United States is indeed a country with particularly severe racism, but not everyone is like this.
"Anyway," Connor patted Link on the shoulder after shouting at Brockman, "Be careful when training today."

The daily training time of the Development League team is not long, and it is far less systematic and complicated than the NBA. After all, most people who play in NBDL still have to work part-time because playing basketball alone is not enough to support the Development League players.
Only those players who aim at NBA will find time to practice on their own.
Moreover, in NBDL, coaches generally do not arrange any complicated tactics. Because in this league, most players mainly perform individually and rarely cooperate. Only when everyone fully demonstrates their value can they be signed by NBA teams.
Therefore, players don’t have to work hard to run tactics and record tactics, and they can play on the court as long as they know some basic tactics.
During the warm-up, Link was working diligently to run the basket, trying to adapt to his new body and Hill's ability in his twilight years.
When practicing shooting, Link did not try three-pointers. Others didn't find it strange, after all, Link wouldn't have made three-pointers before. But Upshaw was a little puzzled. Link had a good three-pointer, so why didn't he show it?
"Why don't you shoot three points, man." The curious Upshaw approached Link and asked.
Link smiled mysteriously, the kind of uneasy smirk, "It's not the time, Zick."
Finally, after a long warm-up and personal training, Connor blew the whistle on his chest, signaling everyone to gather towards him.
The players were all excited and the confrontational training was about to begin!
Brockman smiled so happily. The only fun he left every day was to ravage Link on the training ground.
Being abused by NBA everywhere, and to abuse others after falling into NBDL will make Brockman feel very accomplished.
Link was not afraid today, but stared at Brockman's eyes and laughed. Link was not very confident before, so he never dared to look Brockman's eyes directly. After all, Brockman's appearance was already very ferocious.
But today, Link not only dared to look directly at him, but also dared to laugh so much.
"Damn idiot, I'll see if you can still laugh later!" Brockman clenched his fists. He didn't mind letting his "good teammate" fall again.
"I don't want to see too intense confrontation in today's first round of confrontation training. Everyone finds out that there will be a game tomorrow. The grouping is the same as usual. Go on the court and show the performance that can impress me." Connor said a few simple words and clapped his hands.
The players scattered and found their own groupings. Connor used a grouping method mixed with substitutes in training. After all, in the Development League, and substitutes, the positions of substitutes are constantly changing.
Maybe you are today, but if there are teams in NBA tomorrow, no matter how good you performed before, you have to go to the bench and sit on the bench. Maybe you are today, but you will perform better tomorrow. Then the same thing, go to the bench and sit on the bench and sit on the bench.
So in NBDL, there is no clear concept of substitutes and substitutes. Everyone can be, and everyone can be substitutes, which mainly depends on performance. So sometimes, the competition in the development league is actually more cruel than the NBA.
Chapter completed!
