Versatile Point Forward

Chapter 223

Roy was replaced by the head coach with a livid face. The scoreboard clearly showed 40 to 52. The visiting team was at the front and the home team was at the back. When the previous starting lineup went to rest, the Blazers were only 6 points behind.Roy regards it as his own responsibility to further widen the point difference. Of course, this is impossible, but strictly speaking, most of the responsibility is indeed on him, because he is the player with the most shots in the entire bench. But not very pretty.

Originally, he wanted to sit back in his seat silently, but what he didn't expect at all was that every player on the field stepped forward to give him a hug, and the last one was Ye Feng.Looking at Ye Feng's calm eyes, Roy's eyes dodged a little. This is not his usual style, but today it is indeed his reason that caused the team to fall into a further disadvantage. He feels a little sorry for the dedication of the starting players, so... …

But after hugging him, Ye Feng stopped in his tracks, and instead hugged Roy's shoulders tightly.His words were very calm, so calm that people would think that this game had nothing to do with it. He said lightly: "It's nothing, take a good rest, and wait to continue playing. I believe in you, and we all believe in you. Brandon, You are the captain of this team, no matter how much you recover now, no matter how you perform on the court, you are the cornerstone of this team."

After speaking, he passed Roy directly and stepped onto the court firmly.Looking at his weak back, Roy didn't know what it was like in his heart. At this moment, he felt guilty and retreated for the first time.He sat back to his seat in silence, only to hear McMillan say from the side: "It's okay, Brandon, let's watch their performance first, I will still give you a chance to continue to appear on the stage." Roy Leng, nodded fiercely.

Although McMillan sent the team's starting lineup, Gentry modified the Suns' lineup. He put Stoudemire at the fifth position, Frye at the fourth position, and the other three remained the same. Nash, Richardson and Hill.Obviously, this is not the first time that Frye has played with the starting lineup. Under this tactical system with Stoudemire inside and Richardson outside, Frye was like a duck to water. He was the sun until the end of the first half. main attack point.This is also a major feature of the Suns. Although the core of the team is Nash and Stoudemire, as long as you feel good, you can become the main offensive point of the team. This has nothing to do with the status of the team. It depends on the situation. If you shoot well, you will be given more balls.

This time Ye Feng couldn't help but stand up. Although Miller is strong, he is old after all. After the hard work in the first quarter, his hit rate has shown a downward trend. Completely gave up the right to shoot to Ye Feng and Aldridge.Aldridge's straight-arm jumper finally regained its original aim. This is also because Frye's defense is not very good, but Ye Feng's performance is much more eye-catching.He simply let Miller organize the offense, and he fired continuously from beyond the three-point line, and made a good hit rate.

Even so, the Blazers couldn't get it down to single digits, trailing by 47 points 57-10 at halftime.Ye Feng was a little dissatisfied with his performance, but he also knew that there was nothing he could do about it, who made them dig himself a hole in the first quarter?It is not bad to be able to start the second half with this point difference.But now he doesn't care as much about the outcome of this game as he did at the beginning, and he wants to know if Roy has found himself.

In the locker room, McMillan clapped his hands and said, "OK, OK, everyone, be quiet. In the second half, I will resume the starting lineup from the beginning of this season. Of course, Greg will be replaced by Marcus, Brandon you What do you think? Do other people have any different opinions?" Everyone shook their heads quickly. Their ideas were simple. Let Roy try it. If they can find the feeling, the next game can help the team overcome this challenge. round series.

In the second half, McMillan did not break his promise and sent out a lineup that is not the strongest but the most meaningful at this stage.However, the cooperation between Roy and others is still a little rusty. After all, the team's starting lineup has been adjusted without him, and they have a very good understanding with each other before. If you add him now, although everyone is familiar with it, But it is undoubtedly relatively unfamiliar in the tactical system, which also requires Roy to integrate into the system as soon as possible.Of course, the other four have to get used to Roy's presence. If there is no accident, this is the starting lineup that the Blazers will put up in most of the next games.

Under Ye Feng's deliberate care, Roy's shooting rate began to improve significantly. He also knew that he had just recovered from his injury, and it was best not to break through with the ball, so he simply transformed into an off-ball shooter, relying exclusively on the cover of his teammates And skillful movement to find opportunities outside the three-point line.But Nash on the Suns side stood up. He made 2 of 2 shots in a single quarter, 6 of 6 free throws, and scored 11 points to help the Suns continue to lead.The only good news for the Blazers is that Roy scored 5 points on 3 of 8 shots in a single quarter, which is already twice as much as he scored in the first half.

Although several players of the Blazers gradually showed a tacit understanding, they still failed to get close to the score. In desperation, McMillan could only withdraw all the starters with 5 minutes left in the fourth quarter, which also meant that The rest will be garbage time.However, the entire Blazers team did not show a look of frustration. Instead, they were very calm, which was a bit weird compared to the cheers on the Suns bench on the other side.Only they themselves know what caused this. Looking at the technical statistics of the players, a smile appeared on McMillan's dark face.

The final score was 88 to 100. The gap of 12 points was nothing to McMillan. Roy's 14 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists were the data he was more concerned about.Looking at the players who calmly packed their luggage and lined up to board the bus, McMillan was full of confidence in the sixth game. Although Roy may not be able to start the game, it seems that he has a little bit of interest now, so goodbye Sun, It can only be your bad luck.Sometimes a team with a lower ranking may not be weak, just look at the Rockets who won the championship in the 94-95 season.

12 points?snort!It will be returned in the next game, just wait and see!
