Chapter 35 (1/2)
At the end of the game, the cheers of all the fans reached the climax. All the players from the blue team came in and surrounded link.
108-90, the blue team finally defeated the Rio Grande Valley vipers by 18 points at home. As Joan Brockman said before the game, they disgraced the Houston people.
Of course, the result of this game is not important, and it is not the focus of attention.
Everyone's eyes are focused on link. The guy wearing his No.0 shirt is the real and only protagonist today.
However, when everyone was extremely excited and happy, link, surrounded by the crowd, burst into tears.
”As a soldier, he really deserves to cry for such a night. 52 points per game, the latest individual scoring record of the Development League. Facing the rocket team's subordinate team, link certainly lets Morey intestines all regret green. Morey gave up a time bomb, but the rest of the NBA will not let him off easily. Maybe one day, this bomb will explode on the rocket team
The commentators think that link is crying for his 52 point night, but it's not. Link doesn't care about his score record at all. He cried because he could only think of upshaw in memory.
When upshaw died, Lincoln did not cry. Link didn't cry when reading upshaw's letter to himself. At that time, there was only anger in his heart. He was angry at Carl Jones, at Morey, at the injustice of heaven, at the departure of upshaw.
So he gritted his teeth and insisted, and he went forward as upshaw said. He's going to put on the upshaw shirt and he's going to write his name on his shoes. They want to fight against the enemy together and play a game that makes people cry.
Then, when link went forward to do all this, he finally couldn't stand it.
As the Chinese saying goes, a man's tears don't flick lightly, but they don't go to the sad place. Link gave upshaw a perfect farewell performance, and at this moment, he formally said goodbye to his friends.
The upshaw who had to play ball and go to the car wash to make a living, the upshaw who used to let link eat and drink, and the upshaw who drove down the floor of link's apartment on time every day.
From now on, say goodbye to link forever.
”Damn it, wipe your tears. Here comes the reporter. I don't want our star to be crying when he appears in the newspaper tomorrow Brockman quickly handed a few pieces of paper to link, who held back his tears and dried them.
But when he looked up to the camera, his ruddy eyes still betrayed him.
”Link, congratulations. I believe you already know that 52 points is the highest score of individual game in the Development League! Do you have anything to say about achieving such an achievement? ”
Reporters put the microphone close to link's mouth, and once link would be nervous because of a reporter's interview. But after a visit to the NBA and then back, link is used to such a situation.
”I have to thank my teammates and coaches for their trust, they gave me a lot of mobile phone meetings. Again, I have to thank Zick for the power he has given me. Finally, I'd like to thank my manager Carl Jones and Rockets coach Darrell Morey
At this point, the reporters thought that link was trying to make friends with the Rockets so that he could return to the NBA. But what link wanted to say next made the reporters open their mouths.
”Thank them for their hypocrisy and deceit. They have made me grow up a lot. Of course, it's not over. Sooner or later, they will pay for what they have done. ”
With that, link, in his upshaw No. 0 shirt, turned away. The reporters were stunned. They didn't expect that a dropout talent show should have such backbone. They even scolded an unknown manager, even the general manager of the Rockets.
Is the Rockets the home team of China? There is no home team at all, only endless benefits. Link has recognized these facts, and from now on, he will continue to be like today.
