The game against the Wizards convinced Jackson, and it seems that Allen as the starting point guard is the best option at this stage. As for the No. 1 position, it is still good to rotate Ellis and Jack, although Ellis is sharp in breakthrough and has strong scoring ability, but he is relatively poor in organizing the offense, and he is not as steady as Jack, and it is a good decision to take turns to start.

Of course, there is a clear gap between Allen and Roy, which is mainly reflected in the team's attack. Before that, the Bobcats averaged 107.3 points per game when Roy started, but since they beat the Wizards 101-90, they have not scored more than 100 points in seven consecutive games, but the Bobcats have won 5-2 in these games, so they have not been surpassed by the Celtics.

The good news is that Roy is recovering at a very abnormal rate, of course, this is the evaluation of the attending doctor, and the most critical problem is that various high-end instruments simply cannot detect the reason for his rapid recovery. Roy was naturally tight-lipped, and the doctor could only attribute this to Roy's own super recovery ability, but it was a good thing anyway.

In less than a month, Roy ended his conservative treatment under the incredible gaze of a group of doctors, and from the X-rays taken, his ligaments can be said to be intact. Chang Wei was also stunned when he received the news, he knew that the props of the system were all good things, but he didn't expect that the serious injuries that might affect his career would disappear so quickly.

When he returned to the team, Roy deliberately returned the ointment and thanked Chang Wei. He knew that the normal recovery time would never be just one month, and that the recovery was so good, according to the doctors, conservative treatment would take at least two months, and there might be a risk of re-injury, and the ligaments would not return to their previous state.

Chang Wei patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "When you come back, the team can get back on track, although everyone has done a good job during this time, but your position is irreplaceable, I look forward to your performance after you come back, don't let us down." ”

Roy nodded, his face as indifferent as ever: "Chang, believe me, I will do it." ”

But Roy's first training session with the team after recovering from injury made Chang Wei frown, his proportion of mid-range shooting increased significantly, and every time he broke through to the basket, he would choose to pass the ball out, unless there was no defender in front of him. What's more, Roy has to summon a block every time he breaks through, you must know that most of the time before he relied on a large change of direction and rhythm to complete the breakthrough, and the block and pick and roll is only out of tactical needs, not purely to reduce the difficulty of breaking through the opponent's defense.

All of this proves one thing, Roy's body has recovered, but not psychologically. The vast majority of players returning from injury need to get over that hurdle in their hearts, and they will subconsciously choose to avoid playing in a way that avoids their own injury, lest they suffer another injury in the same position. That's fine, but it's undoubtedly a big problem for the team.

"Hey, Brandon, I think you need to be more determined to get to the basket and score!" Jackson banged on the board and yelled at the court, Roy had tried to finish the attack with mid-range for three consecutive rounds, but unfortunately he didn't shoot.

Roy nodded, and the next round he went to the basket with a screen, but in the face of Mark Hill's defense, he opted for a pass. Almost everyone thought he would go it alone, including Ariza in the direction of the pass, and the basketball flew off the sideline without accident. Jackson shook his head helplessly and called off the 5v5 match on the court, he had to say something.

Everyone can see that the problem is Roy, after returning from injury, his style of play is slightly different from before, but it is this difference that makes the team's tactical system problematic. Jackson pulled Roy aside and asked in a low but serious voice, "Brandon, what the hell is wrong with you?" That's not how you used to play. Are you still injured yet? ”

Roy shook his head and said bitterly, "I'm pretty sure there's nothing wrong with my ankle, but I don't know what's wrong, it seems...... It was as if I had a sense of fear of doing something that would hurt me again because of my inappropriate behavior. ”

Jackson wanted to say something, Chang Wei's voice sounded behind them: "This is a normal situation for most players who have suffered leg and ankle injuries, the only explanation is physical self-protection, you have to overcome this psychological barrier, Brandon, otherwise I can't guarantee that you can return to the previous level, even if your ankle is fine." ”

"So what is going to be done?" Jackson scratched his head in annoyance, Roy was too important to the team.

Chang Wei shrugged, looked at Roy and said, "There is no other way, it will be difficult for us to help, you have to overcome it yourself, Brandon." Although I studied sports psychology, so far there is no doctor who can solve this problem. ”

"Let's let him play off the bench first," Chang Wei said, looking at Jackson, "The rotation lineup is a little less confrontational than the starting lineup, which will give him plenty of time to adapt, and his defense should not be as strong as before." ”

Jackson looked at Roy, who nodded solemnly, he knew this was the best way to do it at the moment, but he also had to hurry up and adapt to the intensity of the game as soon as possible, and overcome the psychological barrier of fear of injury. Chang Wei and Jackson are right, if he can only rely on mid-range shooting to score in the future, it will be difficult for him to become the top star in the league.

After Roy said goodbye, Jackson and Chang Wei looked at each other, and they didn't know how long it would take for Roy to return to normal. Jackson smacked his lips and asked worriedly, "Does every injured person have such a question?" ”

"The vast majority of them are, and those who don't either have a lot of confidence in themselves or the injured position doesn't matter. This is a psychological hurdle for them, and it must be overcome, and those who can't get past it become waste. I believe in Brandon, who has one of the best ball IQ and IQ in the league, and he shouldn't need to spend too much time. ”

Jackson sighed and said, "I hope so, doesn't it mean that smart people are easy to get into the horns?" I don't want to see such a promising guy turn into a bland shooter and refuse to fight. Is his ankle really okay? Maybe there's something more serious that hasn't been checked out yet......"

Chang Wei looked at his brain-opening friend and rolled his eyes helplessly.
