Roy's way of solving the problem is very simple and crude, that is, to strengthen the confrontation in training, even if he trains alone, he also asks to do the action in the confrontation, and hopes that the assistant coach will be ruthless.

It has to be said that this method is very effective, and Roy quickly readjusts to the medium-intensity confrontation and is still able to do the action. Of course, the higher intensity of the confrontation has to be found in the game, and the training session is just a training session. As previously discussed, Jackson didn't immediately return Roy to the starting lineup, but gradually increased his playing time per game.

Jackson gave Roy only 15 minutes to play at first, and although the Bobcats kept their hopes of a comeback victory alive in the final quarter of the game, he gritted his teeth and pressed his number one man to the bench. In the end, the Bobcats lost to the Knicks 92-97 and dropped from third to fourth, with the Celtics taking their place in their place.

At the post-game press conference, Roy was asked a malicious question, and he attributed the Bobcats' loss to Jackson's failure to substitute Roy in the fourth quarter. But Jackson said categorically: "It was set before the game, Brandon is still in the recovery period, we didn't plan to put him on the court in the most intense fourth quarter, and he has played 15 minutes and 27 seconds in the first three quarters, which is the time limit I gave him in this game, and he lost just because the opponent played better." ”

Roy was naturally frustrated that he couldn't get on the pitch at a crucial moment, but he also knew that it was the manager's protection. The most important thing for him to do now is to get back to form early and continue to lead the team to win.

In the next game, the Bobcats' opponent is the Timberwolves, who are currently ranked third from the bottom in the West, and after Garnett joined the Celtics, this strong team instantly became a fish belly, such an opponent is undoubtedly an ATM-like existence. Roy wanted to play 30 minutes in this game, but Jackson refused, giving Roy 20 minutes.

In the face of Jackson's insistence and Chang Wei's support, Roy reluctantly accepted this arrangement, and what made him feel laughable was that Jackson allocated these 20 minutes to four quarters of the game on average, and he could play five minutes in each quarter.

In order to buy himself more playing time, Roy simply tried his best, after all, the opponent is a fish belly like the Timberwolves, wouldn't it be a waste not to seize the opportunity to show himself? Just after 4:17 of the first quarter, Roy came into play, and his first touch of the ball was a breakaway layup after a pick-and-roll, and it was scored by Timberwolves center Jefferson.

It was an away game, and naturally there were no fans cheering for him, but Jackson bounced straight from his seat and raised his arms and shouted in obsessiveness. Chang Wei looked at him like an idiot, but he could also understand Jackson's feelings, Roy had already taken the first step, and the next step should be accelerated, and it seemed that the day of averaging 35 minutes per game was not far off.

In the first 10 minutes of the first half, Roy efficiently cut 16 points and 4 assists, and he seemed to prove that he can play as before, except for 2 three-pointers, the rest of the 16 points were basically breakthrough layups, and he also achieved two 2+1s, which completely showed his toughness. This made Jackson ecstatic, but he didn't plan to give Roy more time in the second half, it was better to follow the rules, and if something happened, there was really no place to cry.

In the second half, Roy still gritted his teeth desperately to kill the basket, but he was more about making the ball for his teammates, after all, he was the number one ball handler in the team, and he couldn't always play alone, and he had to give his teammates a bowl of thick soup after eating meat. In the remaining 10 minutes of playing time, Roy scored just six points but dished out eight assists, as well as a beautiful no-man assist for Milicic's dunk. When he was off the court, he had 22 points, three rebounds and 12 assists, along with one steal, and his outstanding performance also gave the Bobcats a 17-point victory.

Roy appeared confident in the interview, telling reporters: "I don't have a problem with my ankle and not getting enough playing time is because the coach wants to protect me and I'm grateful for everything he has done for me. But as part of the team, I want to get back to my previous form as soon as possible and I'm going to prove myself on the pitch from this game until the coaching staff thinks I'll be able to play more than 35 minutes a game. To be honest, it was a terrible feeling to watch the game from the bench. ”

With Roy's current form, Jackson had planned to play him 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, and even if Roy's form now looks completely back to normal, it is still important to be careful. Moreover, this is a back-to-back, they are going back to Charlotte to play against the 76ers, although this team is no longer beautiful, but it is not something that Bobcats can pass casually, and Roy's initial time is still under control.

Probably because he had been relaxing for too long, Roy didn't start the game against the 76ers, but he was in average form after he came on the court, missing three shots in a row. So he simply switched to point guard mode and used his breakthrough to create opportunities for his teammates, believing that the group of guys who were playing alongside him would be able to shoot the ball.

During the game, Roy was accidentally knocked over by Snow, which made Jackson and Chang Wei worried on the sidelines, for fear that he would relapse from the injury. Fortunately, Roy quickly got up, clapped his hands and walked to the free throw line, which made Chang Wei breathe a sigh of relief.

Jackson still only allowed Roy to play 10 minutes in the first half, and this time he didn't have that much firepower, scoring only 8 points, but he dished out 6 assists and 2 steals, and his plus/minus was +9, the third-highest on the team, and the Bobcats also took a 58-50 lead. Roy simply entered the starting lineup in the second half, and he led a 15-0 scoring surge in the third quarter, scoring eight points and three assists of his own, after which the Bobcats never gave the 76ers any more chances, winning the game 107-95.

Roy scored 21 points on 7-of-15 shooting in 25 minutes of playing time, but also dished out 12 assists and three steals, and was a standout performer on both ends of the floor. When the final whistle blew, Jackson and Chang Wei glanced at each other and nodded in unison, they thought that Roy was basically no longer a problem now, and it was time to return to normal playing time, so that he could lead this group of arrogant soldiers to kill all sides in the regular season.
