God's hand behind the scenes

Chapter 535 Step by step
Roy's solution to the problem is very simple and rude, that is, to strengthen the confrontation during training. Even if he is training alone, he still requires actions during the confrontation, and he hopes that the assistant coach can be ruthless.

I have to say that this method is very effective, and Roy quickly re-adapted to moderate-intensity confrontation, and he was still able to make moves.Of course, more intense confrontation has to be found in the competition, and the training session is just a training session.As previously discussed, Jackson did not return Roy to the starting lineup immediately, but gradually increased his playing time per game.

Jackson only gave Roy 15 minutes of playing time at the beginning. Although the Bobcats still maintained the hope of reversing and winning in the last quarter of the game, he gritted his teeth and put his number one general on the bench.In the end, the Bobcats lost to the Knicks 92 to 97, and the ranking fell from third to fourth. The Celtics replaced their previous positions.

At the press conference after the game, a reporter asked Roy's question maliciously. He attributed the Bobcats' loss to Jackson's failure to replace Roy in the fourth quarter.But Jackson said categorically: "This was planned before the game. Brandon is still in the recovery period. We don't plan to let him play in the most intense fourth quarter, and his playing time in the first three quarters has reached 15%. It took 27 minutes and [-] seconds, which is the time limit I gave him in this game, and the loss is only because the opponent played better."

Roy was naturally frustrated that he failed to play at a critical moment, but he also knew that this was the coach's protection for him.For him, the most important thing to do now is to get back to his form early and continue to lead the team to win.

In the next game, the Bobcats' opponent was the Timberwolves, who are currently ranked third from the bottom in the West. After Garnett joined the Celtics, this strong team instantly became a fish belly. Such opponents are undoubtedly like cash machines. The presence.Roy wanted to play 30 minutes in this game, but Jackson refused. The time he gave Roy was-20 minutes.

Faced with Jackson's insistence and Chang Wei's support, Roy reluctantly accepted the arrangement. What made him feel dumbfounded was that Jackson allocated the 20 minutes to four quarters on average, and he could play 5 minutes in each quarter.

In order to get more playing time for himself, Roy simply tried his best. After all, the opponent is a big man like the Timberwolves. Wouldn't it be a waste not to seize the opportunity to express himself?Just after 4 minutes and 17 seconds of the first quarter, Roy went into battle. His first touch was a layup after a pick-and-roll, and he scored against Timberwolves center Jefferson.

This was an away game, so naturally there were no fans cheering for him, but Jackson jumped up from his seat, raising his arms and chanting.Chang Wei glanced at him like an idiot, but he could also understand Jackson's mood. Roy has already taken the first step, and he should speed up his progress. It seems that the day when he averaged 35 minutes per game is not far away. .

In the 10 minutes of the first half, Roy scored 16 points and 4 assists efficiently, and he seemed to want to prove that he could play as before. Except for 16 three-pointers in the 2 points, the others basically scored 2 points and 1 assists. It was a breakthrough layup, and he also achieved two [-]+[-]s, which fully demonstrated his toughness.This made Jackson ecstatic, but he didn't plan to give Roy more time in the second half. It's better to follow the steps step by step. In case of any accident, there is really no place to cry.

In the second half, Roy still gritted his teeth desperately and went to the basket, but he still played for his teammates more. After all, he is the number one ball holder in the team. You have to give your teammates a bowl of thick soup.In the remaining 10 minutes of playing time, Roy only scored 6 points, but sent 8 assists, and a very beautiful no-look assist Milicic dunk.When he was off the court, the data was fixed at 22 points, 3 rebounds, 12 assists, and 1 steal. His outstanding performance also gave the Bobcats a 17-point victory.

In an interview, Roy seemed very confident. He told reporters: "I have no problem with my ankle. I didn't get enough playing time because the coach wanted to protect me. I am very grateful for everything he has done for me. But as a team I hope that I can return to my previous state as soon as possible. From this game on, I will continue to prove myself on the court until the coaching staff thinks that I can play more than 35 minutes per game. To be honest, on the bench Watching the game sucks."

With Roy's current state, Jackson originally planned to let him play for 30 minutes in the next game, but Chang Wei stopped him in time.A sudden 50% increase in playing time is not a good thing. Even though Roy's state seems to be completely back to normal now, he still needs to pay attention.Besides, this is a back-to-back game, and they will return to Charlotte to play against the 76ers. Although this team is no longer prosperous, it is not something the Bobcats can casually dismiss. Roy's first time still needs to be controlled.

It may be because the relaxation time was too long. Although Roy did not start the game against the 76ers, his state after playing was very average, and he missed three consecutive shots.So he simply switched to the point guard mode and used his breakthrough to create opportunities for his teammates. He believed that this group of guys who fought side by side with him could make the ball.

During the game, Roy was accidentally knocked over by Snow, making Jackson and Chang Wei nervous on the sidelines, fearing that his injury would recur again.Fortunately, Roy got up quickly, clapped his hands and walked to the free throw line, which relieved Chang Wei and the others.

In the first half, Jackson still only allowed Roy to play 10 minutes. This time he did not have such strong firepower. He only scored 8 points, but sent out 6 assists and 2 steals. The positive/negative value is the third in the team. 9, the Bobcats also took the lead 58 to 50.In the second half, Roy simply entered the starting lineup. He led the team to a 15-0 scoring climax in the third quarter. He scored 8 points and 3 assists. After that, the Bobcats never gave the 76ers any chance. Won the game 107-95.

In this game, Roy scored 25 points on 15 of 7 shots in 21 minutes of playing time, but also sent 12 assists and 3 steals, and he performed brilliantly on both ends of the offense and defense.When the final whistle sounded, Jackson and Chang Wei glanced at each other and nodded in unison. They thought that Roy was basically fine now, and it was time to resume his normal playing time and let him lead the gang The arrogant warriors have killed all directions in the regular season.
