Chapter 162: Roy's Plan
Roy does have to thank Josh Jackson, who would have been singing MC HotDog's hit "Thank You Dumb Tiger" as a way to thank him for supporting him if he had been born ten years earlier.
In fact, Roy had discovered a problem from just now.
When it comes to launching an "on-court coach" against Josh Jackson, the success rate is much higher than the 50% on the trait, which is really unscientific according to Josh Jackson's overall ability value of 64.
Could it be that whether this trait is activated or not depends on the comprehensive ability value? But something else? For example, the hidden ability "leadership"?
In short, Josh Jackson is a very good gun, and Roy is almost addicted to shouting "Josh".
But Josh Jackson was not so happy, and after holding on for 5 minutes, he took the initiative to signal that he was unwell and asked to be taken off, and the rich Israeli coach T.J. Leaf came on as a substitute.
At this point, the score was 18-14, and the West took the lead, with Roy scoring 12 points, beating Markelle Fultz's four points.
Without Josh Jackson, Roy suddenly felt like his right-hand man was being removed, he had tried Frank Jackson before, he was a leader type player who could not be commanded at all; Having tried Malik Munch, his willpower is just as strong; Having tried Jarrett Allen, the probability that "Smiling Brother" will be able to follow his command is also very small.
And what about this T.J. Leaf? Judging from the two experiments just now, the arrogant Jews are not easy to mobilize.
The four people on the field are all steel nerves, Roy knew that it was more difficult to brush the data, so he simply defended Fultz with all his might, and under Roy's fierce pursuit, Fultz's number of mistakes rose to 2.
In the 8th minute of the game, Mabray pinched his watch and replaced all the starters, and with 14 points, 4 rebounds, 1 steal, and 1 block, Roy went off the court gloriously.
In the next game, the group of substitutes turned over and over on the court, without Roy present, the All-Stars returned to the entertaining exhibition game, everyone's defense line was completely open, you deduct one, I will vote two, and they are happy.
The score came to 42:40 in an instant, and the Western troops still led by 1 point, and with 5 minutes left in the first half, it was time to change back to the main force.
At this time, Roy had an idea, and he took the initiative to show favor to Marbre, "Coach, there are still a few players in the team who have fewer opportunities to perform, so it's better to let them play first, I'm willing to play on the bench time." ”
Roy's initiative made Hyun a little unexpected, and today's high-profile, nationally focused game, everyone wanted to play a few more minutes. In order not to let the players fight for the head, he deliberately emphasized the big rotation and the maximum of 20 minutes of playing time per person in his lecture, and now Roy is willing to sacrifice playing time, which is really impressive.
Mabray was certainly willing to do the good thing, and he wanted to sell favors to the future superstars, and Roy was content to avoid the wave of "Iron Nerves".
"Hmph, this Roy doesn't dare to play." Frank Jackson scoffed at Roy's behavior, and the point guard had already figured out what to do with Roy.
"Yo, Roy's kid didn't go on, was he abandoned by the coach?" Seeing that Roy didn't get on, Fultz was also happy.
"He probably thinks he's satisfied with the data, useless guy." Bam Adebayo is still haunted by that head-to-head defeat against Roy in the first half.
Roy was certainly not stupid, he knew that except for Daron Fox and Udoka Azubuk opposite, the other 21 guys were not happy.
At this time, Taoguang is obscure, just to wait for a better brush of data to defeat Fultz.
The first half ended like this, with the West leading the East 52-47, and Roy still led all the players by 14 points although he didn't play again, and according to this trend, he even had a chance to win the MVP.
It was a strange All-Star game, as everyone could see, and at halftime, the big screen was replaying the best footage from the first half.
I saw that once Roy appeared in the picture, it must be a dead knock picture of the tip of the needle against Maimang, what kind of bag defense, chasing and blocking, and rough fouls abound. Roy is also unambiguous, and has a way to score against one, two, or even three-man defenses.
And as long as there is no Roy in the picture, the style of the game will be subverted in an instant, what easy dunks, what unguarded three-point shots are not uncommon.
"It's too much, they're targeting Roy." Cheng Zixi spoke the voice of most of the audience.
Today, he still accompanied his father and brother to watch the game, and they were in the VIP box of the United Center Arena, and from this angle, it was more obvious that Roy received all kinds of special treatment in the game.
"Xiaoxi, you are wrong about this." Cheng Yuyang has a different point of view, "The opponent is serious, which may be a good thing for Roy." ”
"A good thing?" Cheng Zixi pouted, not understanding what his father was saying, "What's wrong?" People score easily, and Roy has to be taken care of, is that a good thing? ”
"Of course." Cheng Yuyang said: "You must know that Roy is going to participate in the NBA draft this year, and all the games that can prove his ability are his opportunities to improve his draft pick. If today's game was just an exhibition match, then its value to Roy would only be media exposure, but now, his opponents are desperately defending him, and if Roy can still perform well in this situation, it will be absolutely good news for him. ”
"Oh, I see." Cheng Zixuan, who had been listening quietly, came to his senses, "If Roy can beat these all-stars who are serious about the game in this game, then he can prove that he is better than these guys, and this batch of high school students happens to be the strongest wave in recent years, so Roy actually took a big advantage." ”
"Exactly, I'm just wondering why Roy didn't play again in the first half, I don't know if it was the coach's decision or if something happened to his body."
Cheng Yuyang's worries were not unreasonable, and after the start of the second half, Roy continued to sit on the bench.
The starters are performing on the court, and Roy is calculating Fultz's score, 8 points, 10 points, Fultz's score has reached a dangerous range, and now Roy has to complete the task, to beat Fultz, he has to score at least 20 points, which is still based on not letting Fultz score.
If you play for a while, you have to give it your all.
Roy secretly made up his mind.
And after seven minutes of the second half, Mabre was ready for a substitution.
"Coach, can I make a request to you?" Before going on the pitch, Roy spoke to Mabre.
"Coach, I respect you very much and am willing to obey your arrangement, but I have a small request. After I come on this time, can you let me play the remaining 12 minutes and 24 seconds? To tell you the truth, my 'girlfriend' is also here today, and I made an agreement with her to behave well. ”
When he said this, Roy's acting skills were outstanding, his eyes were sincere and full of tears, and the iron-blooded coach Mabrai was also moved.
He calculated, even if Roy finished the game, it was only 20 minutes, and he did not disobey his orders, and Roy's initiative in the first half also added a lot of impression points to the "devil coach".
Mabrey had no reason to refuse Roy's request.
Everything was ready and Roy was on the pitch.
