In fact, Roy didn't want to take a break so early, but he was calm by nature and unconditionally satisfied with the requirements of the head coach, even if Bruce was only his interim head coach, but that didn't mean he wouldn't give his opinion.

After leaving the game, Roy hesitated, quietly sat down next to Bruce, and whispered, "Coach, I can still continue to play, and I don't need to rest for the time being." I think the team also needs me to contribute on the pitch, so ......"

Bruce glanced at him and asked with a smile, "Brandon, Chang Wei is in charge of your daily training, right?" ”

Roy was stunned: "How do you know?" Is it because I'm a Bobcat player? ”

"No, you're the first rookie in Bobcat history, am I right? When I used to work with Chang, I admired his eye for selecting rookies, such as recommending that the general manager choose Dwayne in 2003...... I vaguely heard that the Bobcats chose you in the second pick as well as his suggestion, and as a rookie he is very optimistic about, he will definitely put a lot of effort into you. ”

"Coach, you're only half right." Roy shook his head and said, "It's true that the team management has chosen me and is very optimistic about me, but unfortunately he didn't give me much guidance, and I know it's because he believes in my strength too much. Well, all the players in our squad have benefited from his physical training, so we don't need to worry about that at all. ”

Bruce joked, "I heard that he came to watch the game too, and I don't want to use up his love, or he won't settle accounts with me then?" Besides, the outcome of this game doesn't really matter much. ”

Roy's expression didn't change in the slightest, but Bruce noticed that his gaze was cold. After a while, Roy said lightly: "I don't care who wins the MVP of the rookie game, but this is also the game, and I have to fight for the victory!" ”

Bruce smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Relax, relax, I'm kidding you." Even though I'm just an assistant coach, it doesn't feel like I'm losing, and I don't want to let me look down on me, so you can take a break and get ready to play. ”

After 3:15, Bruce took advantage of a dead-ball opportunity to switch to Roy again, and by this time the sophomore team had a 13-point lead. But Roy came on the pitch with a calm face, seemingly indifferent to the double-digit deficit. At this time, the people who stayed on the field to fight alongside him were Foye, Morrison, Millsap and Aldridge, and when he saw Roy being substituted, Foye sighed, obviously he was going to follow in the footsteps of Famar, and Roy came up to control the ball.

Jackson on the sidelines also breathed a sigh of relief, he was still a little indignant when Bruce replaced Roy, but Chang Wei was next to the old god. Unexpectedly, Chang Wei saw his old colleagues very clearly, Bruce still had to rely on Roy to help the team win, and now the most important thing is to interrupt the momentum of the sophomore team, and Roy's appearance is natural.

As soon as he got on the court, Roy singled out Rocket guard Hyde with the ball, and although one of the Illinois troika had excellent shooting ability, his defense was mediocre, and Roy shook him aside with a simple change of direction. But then he didn't rush directly to the inside to face Bynum, but jumped on the spot to shoot, and the basketball flew into the basket like a cruise missile.

The sophomore team didn't care, and Hyde didn't pay attention to it, this guy has always been a defensive colander, and when it comes to the rookie challenge, it gets even worse. However, what he didn't expect was that his three-point shot was blocked by Roy at the opportunity, and then he could only watch the opponent dribble all the way, fly up one step inside the free throw line and complete a tomahawk split, and by the way, ignite the atmosphere of the scene, and even some fans shouted MVP at him.

However, none of this moved Roy, who simply returned to his half with a calm face and prepared to defend. His performance also infected his teammates, who were still a little impatient, and everyone began to calm down, ready to seize the opportunity to be hit hard by the opponent. Everyone is a young person, and it is always a bad face to be behind by double digits, and if you have the opportunity, you will naturally return it in full.

In the following games, everyone's running position became more active, Roy looked at it and nodded secretly, and began to pay attention to the position of his teammates while strengthening the breakthrough, as long as the players in the gap had a chance to receive his pass. Receiving the ball in a game like the Rookie Challenge will basically turn into a shot, as for whether it can score, then anyway, there are a few interior lines led by Aldridge, although they are not as good as the combination of Bynum and Boggart, but they also have the power to fight.

But none of this stopped Roy's outstanding performance, and he scored 21 points, four rebounds and six assists at halftime, along with two steals and one block, which was the only comprehensive statistic in the game. Of course, this is also because the overall strength of the first-year team is not as good as that of the opponent, and the second-grade team's score is relatively scattered.

After communicating with Roy, Bruce simply reduced his rest time in the second half, anyway, it seems that this guy can still bear it, and he doesn't have to use it in vain, and he also believes that Chang Wei's optimistic player will not have problems with physical fitness. Under Bruce's deliberate "care", Roy only rested for less than 5 minutes in the second half, and he led the team to fight on the court the rest of the time.

Aldridge and they also recognized his status, which also allowed Roy to get a lot of shots, and he also reciprocated with a lot of assists, and in the end, Roy's stats were fixed at 36 points, 6 rebounds, 10 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks, which is already a very good report card, even if it is only a rookie challenge.

Unfortunately, the first-year team still lost the game 134-136 due to the difference in strength, and the MVP of the rookie game gave Paul, who contributed 21 points, 13 assists and 5 steals. But in any case, Roy's performance also won the crowd, and he really didn't mind who won the MVP, he did his best in the game anyway.

Bruce's eyes lit up when he looked at Roy, he was jealous of the Bobcat's luck for the first time, why did Chang Wei have such an eye to choose such a good rookie for the Bobcats? If nothing else, this year's Rookie of the Year will fall to Roy. At the end of the game, Bruce patted Chang Wei on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Boy, your luck is good, do a good job, I believe that you can become a top star in the league in the near future, by the way, bring me a good Xiangchang." ”
