It was definitely not an easy game, and the Knicks players couldn't help but get a little fussy after hearing such a frantic sonic output from the Denver fans.

Of course, this is also normal, and it may not be easy for anyone to finish the game for more than two hours in the face of nearly 20,000 people in the audience.

But Roy seemed unmoved, he warmed up with easy shots, and from time to time he would use some exaggerated expressions and movements to provoke the fans in Denver, and this time, the smell of gunpowder in the stadium was even stronger.

The scolding of "Roy XXX" is endless, and now even the broadcasters are starting to worry about what to do with the audio for the broadcast later.

The New York Knicks were subjected to all sorts of personal attacks in Denver, and there was probably only one person on the team who could survive: Kenneth Farid. As a former darling of Denver fans, Farid won a few applause from Cheer Lala for his appearance, and then immediately reverted to a sonic attack in the sky.

It is conceivable that the Pepsi Center Arena, which usually has only 70% attendance, is suddenly full today, and the extra 30% of the fans are almost here to scold the street to vent their anger, and their indiscriminate attacks are so powerful that even the players of their parent team, the Denver Nuggets, have not stopped when they play.

In the midst of the boos, scolding, and shouts of the fans, the players of the Denver Nuggets also entered the court, and here Farid and Arthur saw their former teammates appear, and immediately took the initiative to greet everyone and hug them one by one, and Jennings over there, although he had only been in the Knicks for a short time, was also quite sensible and came over to greet everyone.

The polite exchange of greetings between the players on both sides contrasted sharply with the various dissonances of the fans, but there was also one person who didn't seem to fit in, Smith. While the players on both sides exchanged pleasantries, he sat alone and watched from the sidelines, enjoying the noise of the fans, and when everyone dispersed, he walked to the Knicks alone.

"Hey, Roy, you wait for me tonight and see how I fix you."

Smith yelled at Roy, but Roy ignored him, and Smith was anxious, and he repeated it.

"Hey, Roy, you're waiting for me tonight...... Hey, Roy, you stop me, hey, Roy, I'll call you, XX. ”

Smith was furious, but Roy was long gone, and Smith looked like a fool, and he was indeed a fool who no one was paying attention to......

This game is definitely not simple, not only the crazy fans, the tense pre-game atmosphere, even the press box is not peaceful now, the media reporters who chased Roy at the airport have all returned to the team, they have filled the press box of the Pepsi Center arena, many of the reporters who came here did not even find a seat and could only sit on the ground to write, and those reporters who did not interview Roy at the airport are now starting to move again.

However, Roy, who began to warm up, declined all requests for interviews, and his unified reply was "Don't worry, we'll see." ”

Wait and see? It seems that Roy's confidence in this game is quite good.

Roy does have a lot of confidence, and he has confident chips. For the past 10 days, he and Derek Rose have been working hard day and night, and they have been working hard all the time. It can be said that Roy has now taken his abilities to a whole new level.

The Denver Nuggets are fortunate and unfortunate at the same time, fortunately they can be the first to witness Roy's transformation, and unfortunately they will also be the first sacrifice under Roy's knife.

Before the game, the resourceful head coach Mike Malone made a full tactical arrangement for the characteristics of Roy and the Knicks.

Today's starting lineup from Coach Malone is Emmanuel Moodier, . Smith, Wilson Chandler, Danilo Gallinari and Nikola Jokic are a lineup that is athletic but lacks height. Coach Malone's intention is very obvious, that is, to block Roy's offense with athletic players, and then use the team's strong outside offense to try to win the game.

On the Knicks' side, after welcoming Roy back, they can finally put out a relatively complete lineup, and today Coach Hornacek also used his brains to eliminate Roy, Brown, Crowder, Porzingis and Noah's defensive lineup for the Nuggets' strong outside offense, and the idea is also very clear, first use their own defense to contain the Nuggets' offense, and then rely on the team's hard power to accumulate advantages little by little to win the game.

The managers on both sides are full of calculations and want to win the game with their wits.

But when it came to the court, the situation was very different, and when the Knicks, who took the lead in possession, handed the ball to Roy, a shocking scene occurred. The Nuggets went straight to Roy with a double pack! The Nuggets took a double pack on Roy from the first second!

This kind of scene is definitely rare in the NBA, and even Michael Jordan did not experience the feeling of being surrounded by an opponent in the first second of the game.

These scenes, combined with the boos, shouts, scoldings and ultra-luxurious team of reporters, make people wonder if these are two teams that are participating in the finals.

Seeing this scene, even Brin and Fraser, who were accustomed to seeing big scenes, were a little confused.

"The Nuggets took a double on Roy from the first minute, were they serious? If Roy plays smarter, then the Nuggets will definitely suffer a big loss, this tactic is not like the handiwork of head coach Mike Malone, is this tactic really arranged by head coach Mike Malone? ”

Was this tactic really set up by head coach Mike Malone?

Of course not, when Smith rushed towards Roy at the same time, the head coach Malone was also stunned. He remembers that he made it clear before the game that Moodier first used his physical advantage to defend Roy for a period of time, and waited until Roy's physical strength decreased a little before defending with a double bag.

The defensive strategy on the Nuggets' side was surprising, and the reaction from Roy's side was even more surprising. In previous games, if faced with such a fierce and decisive double bag, Roy would have mostly chosen to pass, but today he looked unusually calm.

When Smith pounced together, Roy suddenly started to move to his right side, and then just as the two were about to get close to him, he suddenly accelerated to the left with a cross-step, straight through the gap between the two.

This sudden high-speed change of direction made everyone look stupid, this change of direction speed, this acceleration on the way, if you don't look at the height and appearance and the jersey, the first image that comes to people's minds is - Derrick Rose.

That's right, this speed of change of direction can only be done by a few people in the league, Rose, Irving, and Wall, can Roy do it now?

Roy didn't give the Nuggets a chance to breathe, and after Smith, he rushed inside with a bang, and another acceleration change of direction shook off Gallinari who stepped forward to support the defense. Facing Jokic standing under the basket, Roy turned sideways and sent a low-handed layup, but Jokic didn't have time to react and could only let the basketball play into the net.

Quickly, when Roy completed this one-stop layup, the game had just started 8 seconds, and it only took Roy 4 seconds to complete all the offense, excluding the scrum, dribbling to the frontcourt, and passing and receiving the ball.

Within 4 seconds, Roy shook off four Nuggets defenders and sent the ball to the basket smoothly, how fast and strong.

The fans looked stupid, the opponents looked stupid, Roy's teammates all looked stupid, Hornacek touched his face in surprise, Hernangomez forgot to record the data, Noah couldn't help but be in a trance, could it be that the peak Rose was resurrected?

"Could it be that Peak Ross has been resurrected? Walter, I read that right, what's going on with that acceleration change on the run? Roy showed us a new trick today, and if I'm not mistaken, it's supposed to be Derrick Rose's unique trick of Irving and Wall's teeth-finding - not slowing down and changing direction. It's incredible, could it be that this is a new technology that Roy has learned in the last ten days? ”

"Yes, Mike, yes, Mike, I'll admit I was shocked too, although Roy's unslowing change of direction was nowhere near as brutal and invincible as Ross was back then. You must know that Roy is already incredibly fast, and if he still has such a skillful ball control technique now, then his future is simply limitless. ”

What the hell did Roy just do? Not only was Brin and Fraser a little confused, but the reporters who had seen the big scene were also a little surprised, and they were talking to each other about Roy's magical footwork.

"It's not a delusion, is it? Didn't you slow down and change direction? But it doesn't look like it, Roy's ball control skills have gotten stronger anyway. ”

"Am I not mistaken? Was Roy's possession that good? The two passes just now were too easy, could it be that the opponent was too weak? ”

"If it's not Roy's ball control getting stronger, it must be the Nuggets' poor defense, and I think any point guard is going to be as strong as Irving and Wall against the Nuggets."

Is it really a delusion? Is it really the Nuggets' poor defense? Roy didn't hear the reporters talk, but his performance continued.

Presumably to make the players, spectators and reporters at the scene see more clearly and remember more clearly, Roy immediately ran again. This time, everyone finally saw it clearly, the rapid movement of the footsteps, the alternating dribbling of both hands, the body leaning forward, and then suddenly starting speed, a ferocious change of direction, a ferocious breakthrough. Yes, this is one of the most classic passing moves on the basketball court - "Fake Hesitation", but what is even more terrifying than the ordinary "Fake Hesitation" is that Roy's acceleration and change of direction are simply impeccable, no one can keep up with Roy's footwork, Roy bursts to the basket again in the blink of an eye, and he dunks with one hand.

The hustle and bustle of the stadium seemed to stand still in this second.

Everyone understood.

It's not a delusion, it's not the reason why the Nuggets are too weak, it's that Roy has really gotten stronger, and it's a little scary......
