God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 508 Roy's Stage
After defeating the Magic, the Bobcats are only 1.5 games away from the eighth in the East, which is already very small.This victory also boosted the morale of the Bobcats, and then they won a wave of 5 consecutive victories. At the same time, the Magic suffered a 3-game losing streak, and the positions of the two sides were exchanged. ranks.

This situation has made many experts look at the Bobcats with admiration, and they have written articles praising the performance of this new army.Indeed, for the Bobcats to be able to reach the top eight in the Eastern Conference before halfway through the season is already beyond expectations. You must know that before the start of the season, many people thought that they were going to fight for a high draft pick this season. Unexpectedly The Bobcats have made a name for themselves.

In fact, there are some different voices within the team, especially Jackson. Although Roy has shown strength far beyond his age in the game, he still believes that the team should stay dormant for a few more years and get a few more high picks. The draft picks potential rookies as supplements, so that the team's upper limit may be higher, and the future will be more exciting.

But Chang Wei scoffed at his idea.What happened without a high pick?No one said that low-ranking rookies can't produce good seedlings, and he will remember a lot in the next few seasons.Moreover, for a newly established team, the most important thing is to establish a winning culture in the team, and at the same time start to build a tactical system suitable for the team.

But having said that, Chang Wei is also very satisfied with Roy's performance, and he has also been at the forefront of the official rookie list for a long time.In addition, this year's All-Star Rookie Challenge must have his share. In Chang Wei's view, it is normal for Roy to win the MVP of the Rookie Challenge. The only thing to consider is his character.

Roy has always been very calm and sophisticated, and at the same time very low-key, which is a good trait for the team, but it is a bit out of place for the All-Star Weekend, which is known for its entertainment.However, Chang Wei believes that Roy can seize the opportunity. No one can ignore his charisma on the court. It depends on whether the head coach will use it.

As a rookie, Roy is the only player who can participate in the All-Star Weekend. There is nothing to complain about. Any newly established team has no other capital to participate in the All-Star Weekend.Jackson simply gave the players a vacation. If they want to go to Las Vegas to participate in activities with them, they can also take the flight with him.

The Bobcats didn't continue to thrive, but they still won the games they should have won.Soon the rosters for all the games of the All-Star Weekend were released, and Roy was indeed selected for the first-year team of the Rookie Challenge.He was selected at the same time as Bargnani, Farmar, Foye, Garbajosa, Millsap, Morrison and Aldridge, which almost included all the high-ranking picks in the 2006 class. From Wei's point of view, the only ones who can count on are Millsap and Adelaide.

In fact, it is very difficult for the first graders to win because their opponents are so tough.The second-year team has Paul and Deron in the backcourt, and Bogut and Bynum in the interior. Any player on the front line is enough to crush.But if the second grade is not strong, how can there be room for Roy to play?Even if he loses, he makes money.

It has to be said that Las Vegas, as a casino city, is rich and powerful. The arena for the All-Star game can be said to be resplendent and magnificent, and the locker room is even more complete.However, Chang Wei and Jackson could only sit outside in the auditorium. Fortunately, Jackson got two tickets in good positions by virtue of his status as the head coach of the Bobcats, and it was a worthwhile trip.

When the All-Star rosters were released, the Pistons and Mavericks ranked first in the East and West respectively.Although it is stipulated that the head coach of any team cannot serve as the head coach of the All-Star Game for two consecutive years, under this rule, the head coach of this year's Eastern Conference All-Star is still Brown, and the first-year coach is naturally his new chief assistant. Bruce.

This is also an old acquaintance of Chang Wei. Although the two often disagreed with each other when they were in the Pistons coaching staff, they both discussed the matter as it mattered and did not fight each other because of it. On the contrary, Bruce admired Chang Wei's vision very much.I have to say that he is also very capable. After Chang Wei joined the Bobcats as the chief assistant, Bruce became the Pistons' chief assistant.

Chang Wei didn't go up to say hello. He believed in Bruce's ability. When he was in the Pistons, not only him, but other assistant coaches also learned a lot of experience from Brown, and Bruce was one of the relatively outstanding ones.

Working for the Pistons cultivated Bruce's style of only looking at strength and not tricks. Roy, as the best player among the first-year rookies, naturally got his appreciation.Besides, he vaguely heard that this guy was hand-picked by Chang Wei. Now that he wants to win the rookie game, it is natural to give Roy more playing time, and there is no doubt that he will start.

The intensity of the rookie game was not very high. Roy scored consecutive points from inside and outside from the beginning, and also sent assists to the two big men, Aldridge and Bargnani.As the team's main point guard, Farmar felt very helpless, but Roy had already arranged everything, and he could only obediently be an off-ball shooter, and maybe add some air-cut moves to attack the basket.

Even so, Roy can only work hard to help the team not be opened up by the opponent. The double point guards of Paul and Deron organize the offense of the second-year team in an orderly manner, and Bogut and Bynum are also there. The offensive end suppressed the combination of Bargnani and Alder.Bruce couldn't help it either. Although the pace of the game was fast and the defense was almost negligible, the opponent's overall strength could fully guarantee a very high offensive efficiency. The second-year side basically had to rely on Roy's singles with the ball.

This is a gap in hard power, and Bruce can no longer ask Roy to do more.Although Roy did not encounter high-intensity defense, his physical strength was gradually lost in the constant confrontation. His only advantage was his height. Deron, who was assigned to play the second position, was only 1.91 meters tall. Roy was taller than him. 7 cm high.However, Deron is a stocky point guard. Although Roy can score on him repeatedly, the excessive physical confrontation still makes him overwhelmed.

After 8 minutes and 27 seconds of the first half, Bruce replaced Roy with Morrison. He saw that Roy was very exhausted. At this time, it would be better for him to rest on the bench. Anyway, time is still long!
