While Roy was ready to replenish his strength, the main Raptors on the court had completed the ravages of the Knicks' weak benches, and the ruthless Lowry and DeRozan further widened the gap to 20 points, with less than 4 minutes left before the end of the game.

Is the game over? Yes, at least the spectators, fans, media, and commentators in attendance felt that the game had lost its suspense by now.

Toronto fans began to celebrate and laugh with each other, media reporters hurriedly turned on the computer to write a press release about the Toronto Raptors' victory, as for the commentators, the Raptors' commentators naturally blew Lowry, DeRozan and others into the sky, and they even looked forward to the scene of this year's confrontation with the Cleveland Cavaliers, while Brin and Fraser could only comfort the team with words. In their opinion, it is not easy to rebound from a wave of four consecutive wins at the beginning of this year, and they can't expect too many players from them, they are still a young team after all, and their four consecutive wins were achieved in the absence of the team's star Anthony, which is even more commendable.

The game is about to be closed. On the Raptors' side, head coach Casey replaced all the main players off the court after calling a timeout, and a group of substitutes came on the court to welcome their show time.

Knicks head coach Hornacek lowered his head helplessly, he called the bench players together, laid out the final tactics for them, obviously he was going to throw in the towel, then let the bench practice some tactics in "garbage time".

Is the game over? No, there is one person who still does not admit defeat.

"Jeff (Hornacek), I don't think this game is over yet." After Hornacek finished his tactical points, Roy suddenly spoke.

"Oh?" Hornacek turned his head in surprise, "Do you want to say anything?" Roy. ”

"I said, it's not over yet, it's not time for us to throw in the towel." Roy stood up as he spoke, ripping the towel from his head, revealing his resolute face.

Firm, sharp, and stubborn expressions converged on this delicate and slightly immature face.

Quiet, quiet. Roy's unexpected statement made all the seniors and generals on the Knicks bench stunned.

Playing away, disparity in strength, poor fitness, mediocre form, less than 4 minutes on time, and a full 20 points behind, Roy is now saying that the game is not over yet, is it a bit too much?

Even if your newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, even if it is a red star supported by the alliance, you can't ignore current affairs, right? Everyone was silent.

"Roy, I know you're sad to lose, but it's really hard for us to win in the current situation." Hornacek habitually touched his face, and his words were more like those for himself.

In fact, as a head coach, he didn't want to win, and he didn't want to give up, but his coaching experience in the NBA taught Hornacek a lot of things to follow the rules, such as when the score fell too far behind in the second half of the fourth quarter, the coaches of both sides tacitly sent bench players to pass the "garbage time" is one of them.

What if at this time, the side that is behind by a big score still sends the main force to chase and beat the opponent's bench substitute in an attempt to chase the score and turn the table? As Brandon Jennings said before, if you fight too fiercely, too seriously, and too ruthlessly in "garbage time", you will have no friends. At the end of the day, no one wants to spend too much physical strength and too much energy after the game has been won. To paraphrase a proverb: the schedule is already so unbearable, there are some things that should not be explained.

Having said that, Hornacek doesn't want to be the kind of manager who is limited by rules, he is not in the mood to make friends, and he has no time to make friends. His coaching record in the past few years can only be described as dismal (he coached the Suns with a 14-35 record last season), and if he is disgraced from the Knicks again this year, it is a question of whether any team is willing to hire him to coach in the future, so he has to take any opportunity to climb up.

Friend, that doesn't exist.

Back to the original point, when Roy's "the game is not over" was uttered, Hornacek was still very touched, just to make himself look more like a normal, professional NBA head coach, Hornacek chose to say the high-sounding "It's too difficult to win".

It's too difficult to win, but that doesn't mean you don't have a chance to win, even a 1% chance to win. This is a portrayal of Hornacek's true mood and seems to be a test of Roy's attitude towards the game, and Roy did not disappoint Hornacek, his answer was firm.

"No matter how difficult it is, I want to try, I want to win."

"Are you sure?"

"100 percent sure."

"It's less than 4 minutes, so be careful not to get hurt."

"Don't worry, coach, I've had enough rest on the bench."

Roy is right, often just now this little time to recover, Roy's physical strength returned to the "normal state" again, and in order to ensure the endurance, Roy temporarily increased his "physical strength" to 85 (the level of physical strength attributes determines the speed of physical energy consumption), and now the last step is missing, Roy is going to use his killer move.

"Feel bursting bag", that's right, it's this thing, there's no need to keep it, this little time on the bench, Roy has already brewed all his emotions and strength.

This was the real moment to test Roy, he didn't leave himself any way back, he was ready to shoot all the bullets tonight, he was going to win, he had gone through the pain of four consecutive defeats, he didn't want to experience that kind of defeat again.

Roy played, Roy transformed, Roy moved. Just as the two benches were enjoying themselves and preparing to enjoy their show time, Roy suddenly made a move.

He only took 5 seconds to get off the ground on the first offense, receiving Holiday off the ball, and despite the boos of the fans for most of the half (and the small half of the Chinese fans), he detonated the "feeling of the bag", and Roy dribbled the ball at the top of the three-point line arc and shot unexpectedly.

Shoot without warning, score without warning. Joseph, who defended Roy, was momentarily stunned, he didn't expect Roy to play cards according to common sense, usually in garbage time, the benches run and run tactics according to the coach's requirements, practice playing style or something, how can they rush to score as soon as they come up.

Well, Roy felt so comfortable after scoring the goal that his "hot hands" were extended by 30 seconds and remained at more than 10 minutes, which seemed to be more than enough time.

The Knicks are on the offensive side, and the ball is slow on the Raptors' side, and they have a huge 17-point lead, and the game will be over as long as they practice their tactics and play a few success points.

Roy had long expected this to happen, and when Joseph dribbled just after halftime, he chose to take the initiative, and he suddenly accelerated towards Joseph and formed a trap with Jennings.

At this time, Joseph was still simulating the tactical play that Coach Casey had assigned to him, and before he could react, Roy had already posted it in front of him.

Roy was too fast, Joseph made a mistake, his hand shook, and the pass that he had thought of was easily intercepted by Roy.

Oh no, when Joseph came back to his senses and chased after him, Roy was already gone. Roy rode his horse and ran wild, venting his emotions, he used a domineering big windmill slam dunk to end the offense, the booming basket was shaking, and those fans who booed Roy were completely silent, replaced by the resurrection of Roy fans, and the morale of the Knicks rose.

"Oh, Walter, what do you think is going on? It seems that Hornacek and Roy have no intention of giving up the game at all, but in the garbage time when the two sides are dying and exercising the substitutes, Roy suddenly exerts his strength. He's already scored two goals in a row, and his attitude seems to be saying that the game isn't over yet? Now that there are 3 minutes and 30 seconds left in the game, and the difference is 15 points, does Roy plan to lead the team to a comeback? ”

"Mike, to be honest, those two attacks just now were really a bit surprising, but no matter what Roy plans to do, time is really running out, I don't think Coach Casey seems to be very happy, will he ask for a timeout?"

There was no timeout, Coach Casey hugged his chest and thought for two seconds but held back, but his dissatisfied cry echoed on the sidelines: "Corey (Joseph), what are you doing!" Concentrate! ”

Hearing the head coach's reprimand, Joseph was full of excitement, as a player produced by the Spurs, he is excellent in terms of basic skills and psychological quality, and it was careless when Roy broke the ball in front, and it will not be easy for Roy to contain him at this time.

This time, before Roy was ready to repeat his old trick to contain Joseph, the alert Joseph quickly passed the ball out, and Terence Ross, who was in the open position, got the ball.

Do you want to continue to run tactics, or shoot yourself? Slam dunk king Rose turned out to be a guy who didn't have an opinion, but now he has no idea when he is given a vacant position, according to Coach Casey's original arrangement, the remaining 4 minutes only need to run a few tactics and make stable shots to maintain the point difference. But Roy's ruin disrupted all plans and changed the pace of the game, the Raptors were a bit chaotic on their side, and now they still had 15 seconds left on the offensive time, did they shoot in the open position or what? Ross hesitated.

"Shoot! What are you waiting for. "Joseph over there is in a hurry, if he is in the Spurs, Rose's behavior of not making a move in an empty position will definitely be scolded by Popovich.

Hesitantly, Rose made a move, threw a hesitant shot, the ball hesitantly hit the basket, and Hernangomez resolutely grabbed the rebound.

"Come!" Roy has been waiting for the opportunity for a long time, the soldier is fast, and now every second is burning his precious hand.

When the ball arrived, Roy ran again, his counterattack so fast that only Joseph could barely keep up, and the others were no match at all. Now Roy is left with only Noquilla who has retreated into the three-second zone early.

How will Roy deal with this Brazilian defensive sluice? While everyone was still judging and guessing, Roy slammed into a pull-up jump shot from beyond the three-point line.

Fast-break three-pointers? The audience was shocked, except for the "day-to-day" Curry, I'm afraid no one would choose like this and no one would dare to choose like this, right? But Roy did just that.

Fast break three-point, or flat-fire three-point, as soon as the ball was shot, it flew straight to the basket like a cannonball, "bang" a crisp sound, the ball went in, and the score was chased to 100:112, only 12 points away, there were 3 minutes 08 seconds left in the game time, and Roy's "hot" state still had a full 10 minutes.

"Smack." Coach Casey threw the tactics board hard, and he reluctantly called a timeout......
