O, when Roy scored 2 points with such a light feint layup, the entire Madison Square Garden suddenly became lively.

It's no wonder that Roy has been in the NBA for a while, although he has played vigorously and his data is eye-catching, there are not many places that really show delicate skills, or there are not enough classic moves that Roy can really make fans savor.

Straight and hard, this is Roy's signature style, puffing out his cheeks, elbowing into the interior, or facing the defender's forced ** or backward jumper, this is Roy's most memorable style of play for fans.

So when Roy showed a different footwork technique this time, the audience at the scene was also surprised, and then there was a burst of joy.

"Walter, to be honest, I didn't expect our No. 1 [Roy] to have this kind of footwork, and to be honest, I'm almost getting used to Roy's hard-bridge horse play. The other day I was betting with friends that Roy might not be a second Westbrook in two years, and now it seems like Roy doesn't just want to play physically. Brin couldn't help but sigh that his speech represented the vast majority of fans.

"Mike, don't underestimate the potential of young people, okay? This is Roy's first NBA season, and at least for the next 3 to 5 years, Roy still has plenty of room to grow, and you don't forget that Michael Jordan's first season in the league was just a stunned young guy who only attacked the basket, but then we all saw how he became. ”

Comparing Roy to Jordan? Of course, it was still early, but this game against the Los Angeles Lakers has attracted another fan base, including the famous Lakers legend Kobe Bryant.

To tell the truth, Kobe Bryant didn't plan to come to see this East-West rookie pecking game today, but it was a coincidence, he happened to be in New York yesterday to participate in a brand event, and today it happened that an old friend invited him to watch the game, so Kobe Bryant appeared in Madison Square Garden.

And when he saw Roy finish such a beautiful goal, Kobe Bryant couldn't help but applaud.

"I felt like I saw my old self."

Kobe Bryant was watching the game while communicating with Patrick Ewing beside him, and in his eyes, Roy on the court was like himself twenty years ago, fearless and with unlimited potential.

As Roy's old acquaintance, Ewing has long known how capable Roy is, and this time he was affirmed by Kobe Bryant on the spot, of course, he was also proud of his little junior brother, and at halftime, he praised Roy again.

"That's right, Roy's progress is pretty fast, the last time I watched him play, he only had an AK47 (a submachine gun) and a Desert Eagle (a pistol), and now that he's got a bazooka (a bazooka), his arsenal will continue to grow, and Kobe and I think his potential is limitless."

What a flattery. Although Roy was resting in the locker room at this time and couldn't hear it, his fans were overjoyed, and the black-faced Ewing also gained countless fans because of this wave of operations.

And with the encouragement of fans and seniors, Roy and the Knicks also played more and more smoothly in the second half, facing the second-to-last weak team in the West, the Los Angeles Lakers, Roy basically did not encounter much resistance, don't look at the Lakers Russell, Randle, Clarkson, and Nance Jr. are all post-90s "little fresh meat" who can run and jump, and don't look at Wharton Jr. is the champion coach coached by the Golden State Warriors, they are really useless in front of Roy.

In the second half, Wharton Jr. first used Nick Young to defend Roy, and was very happy to be brushed by Roy's footwork skills, and then used the active Jordan Clarkson to defend Roy.

In this way, Roy practiced his steps, tried a new style of play, and unknowingly led the team to win this game against the Los Angeles Lakers. And after Roy changed his previous style of play, he found that his physical strength had also saved a lot, and after the game, he still had a lot of energy to spare, so that he had the idea of practicing more.

Full game score New York Knicks 114:107 Los Angeles Lakers, Roy played 34 minutes, 10 of 18 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers, 4 of 5 free throws, scored 26 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 block and 2 steals, and led the team to win the game in a leisurely stroll.

The win not only pushed the New York Knicks to a 26-27 record, keeping them in ninth place in the East and continuing to keep the chance of competing for a playoff spot, but Roy's efforts also allowed "Father-in-Son-So-be" Hornacek to continue his success.

"Hornacek escaped again, under his mediocre coaching, the Knicks can still get close to 50% of the winning rate, I have to say that his luck is too good, of course, Hornacek's best luck is that the Knicks accidentally selected Roy, without Roy, Hornacek's current results may not even be as good as the Los Angeles Lakers."

"Roy has developed a new trick? In the game against the Los Angeles Lakers, Roy unexpectedly used gorgeous footwork, does this mean that Roy is getting stronger again? Roy was such a surprise, who would have thought at the beginning of the season that it would be such a newcomer dragging the old broken Knicks forward? ”

"Roy played the perfect game and the perfect stats again, and I can't believe he's just a rookie and I can't believe he's an Asian player. It's incredible that there's an Asian-American rookie among the top 10 players in the NBA's scoring charts if you don't see it with your own eyes, and it's even more incredible that the superstar won't be able to compete in this year's NBA All-Star Game. ”

After the game with the Los Angeles Lakers, there was a lot of praise for Roy and doubts about Hornacek, including criticism of Hornacek's mediocre command, praise for Roy's technical progress, and lament that Roy could not participate in the All-Star Weekend.

By the way, speaking of All-Star Weekend, in another week, the NBA will usher in the annual annual show - NBA All-Star Weekend, as a festival for basketball fans all over the world, as a great opportunity for NBA players to show themselves and improve their worth, as a weather vane of the attention of NBA stars, such a meaningful NBA All-Star Weekend, Roy can't play, which has to be said to be a pity.

Of course, for Roy, this may be another kind of power, one that makes him firing all his might......
