Chapter 199: The First Change (Second Update)

Roy is really changing, and after coming back from Bill Duffy, he was determined to make a name for himself with the Knicks, so he had to change.

One of the first things he did was to change his mindset and positioning, and Roy decided to become a good sixth man first.

Before the start of the regular season, Roy had actually reached an agreement with Hornacek to accept the arrangement of sitting on the bench for the first few games of the season, but in exchange, he wanted to reduce the time he spent with Anthony and Jennings, and he couldn't stand their cancerous style of play.

Hornacek was of course very pleased with Roy's change of attitude, and he accepted Roy's request semi-tacitly. Now this Knicks team may really have to be a dead horse as a horse doctor, and Hornacek is willing to try all kinds of changes whenever possible.

Seeing Roy on the field, his fans instantly became lively, with various slogans and small national flags waving.

"Well done, Roy." Derrick Rose gave Roy a high-handed slap as he came off the court.

Roy smiled faintly in return, he approached Vujasic and whispered, "Sasha, do you remember that tactic we practiced together some time ago?" ”

Roy said "that tactic", Vujacic immediately understood, in the past month, Roy and Porzingis, Vujacic, Holiday and Hernangomez - five people have been practicing together for a long time, and they have also sparked a lot of sparks in training.

Today's bench line-up was actually Roy's request to Hornacek, and he wanted to try to put together the best five players in the team and see how it could work.

Hornacek did not refuse Roy's request, as mentioned earlier, he knew that Roy had a lot of tactical knowledge, and he was willing to gamble on the effect of "a dead horse as a live horse doctor".

Taking advantage of the timeout, the Cavaliers also changed players, except for James, the other four starters were all rested, it seems that Tyronn Lue coach thinks that winning the Knicks at home should not be a big problem, and today he will try to make a big rotation to give more new players a chance to show their faces.

After the substitution, Mike Dunleavy, who just arrived with the Cavaliers this year, is responsible for marking Roy.

Briefly talk about this little Dunleavy Jr., he was born in a basketball family, and his father is also called Mike Dunleavy, that is, the old Dunleavy is a generation of NBA coaches who once won the league's best coach in 1999.

Dunleavy Jr. inherited his father's athletic talent and embarked on a basketball career, but, like most fathers and sons, Dunleavy Jr.'s achievements as a player were not as brilliant as his father's coaching.

He has played five teams, played the main team, also served as a substitute, had highlight moments, and also had black spots in his life. As he gets older, his stats have declined little by little, and after coming to the Cavaliers, he has been completely reduced to an ordinary rotation player, and if it weren't for today's "happy club", plus a score lead over the Knicks, he wouldn't have gotten the chance to play so early.

Roy had read about Dunleavy Jr. from the NBA Encyclopedia, he was a purebred outside shooter who was average in terms of body and defense, and when I saw it today, it was indeed the case.

With a body around 70 and a defense of less than 70, is it too much to underestimate me to use him to defend myself?

When the Knicks were about to attack, Vujacic made a "9" gesture, and Porzingis, Holiday and Hernangomez immediately understood what it meant to "run."

The Knicks' on-court players immediately started running, and the astute Vujacic saw Dunleavy Jr. defending Roy and knew the opportunity was coming, so he handed a pass directly to Roy singles.

Roy, who has the ball in his hand, is extremely powerful, and when his teammates opened up the gap, Roy immediately launched an attack.

Accelerate, break through, Dunleavy Jr. is weaker than he imagined, he can't resist Roy's impact at all, only one step Roy passed Dunleavy Jr., strode into the three-point line, and faced Channing Frye, who was supplementing the defense, made a mid-range shot, 10:18, Roy's NBA scoring account opened.

"Oh!" The Roy fans in the stadium collectively cheered, and Roy enjoyed the absolute home treatment today.

Seeing Dunleavy Jr. being cleaned by Roy like a stake, James couldn't help but frown, the new Finals MVP has always been very demanding of his teammates.

"Mike, brace yourself and defend well, the opponent is just a rookie! You can definitely guard against him. ”

Before serving, James took special care of little Dunleavy, poor little Dunleavy was like a schoolboy who had been criticized by the head teacher, and ran to the front court with his head down.

Unlike other teams, the Cavaliers' offense is not initiated by a point guard, with starting point guard Kyrie Irving being more of a shooting guard, and substitute Iman Shambaugh only responsible for dribbling the ball through the half.

After half-time, the ball was completely in the hands of the famous LeBron James, who was the legendary playmaker.

Opposite James is the mediocre Justin Holiday , it is obvious that the two of them are not in the same weight class at all, because Coach Hornacek did not clearly arrange the bag defense against James before the game, so at this time the lonely Holiday can only face the terrifying James directly.

There was no suspense in the duel between the two, James got rid of Holiday with a forced start, he took a big step, and pressed Hernangomez to complete the layup, 10:20.

There is no doubt that this is the legendary "Overlord Step Layup", James's unique skill.

Roy really saw it, James's power in these few steps is really not covered, not to mention that rookie Hernangomez can't stop it, even Anthony and Noah will definitely not be able to eat this terrifying power, James's nickname "gorilla" is not in vain.

"Very good, good, everyone, cheer up." James, who had retreated, was still boosting the morale of the whole team, and the ball suddenly flew over his head.

Run! The Knicks' fast break was without warning, Roy, who was still guarding Dunleavy Jr. on the outside, flew out with a quick step, and Vujacic, who received Porzingis' serve, passed the half court with a long throw, and Roy received the ball and was already flat in front of him.

Poor little Dunleavy had no match for Roy's pace, while the rest of the Cavaliers players had just reached halfcourt.

Roy, who was holding back his strength, was naturally not polite, he relied on his 81 "breakthrough dunk" ability, a dashing windmill slam dunk, 12:20.

"Bang", the megaphone under the rebound unreservedly conveyed the power of Roy's dunk, the rebound shook, and Roy's fans were excited again.

Rookie Roy scored four points in a row.

Watching the replay on the big screen and listening to the visiting fans celebrating at their doorstep, James's face couldn't help but darken, and he knew that little Dunleavy couldn't prevent this rookie.

Without Tyronn Lue's orders, James made adjustments to his defensive tactics.

"Iman (Shambaught), you swap defenders with Mike (Dunleavy), and you're going to defend that rookie, remember to give him some color."

After changing the guard, after James's arrangement in a few words, a black guy with a "chimney head" on his head appeared in front of Roy, he was the NBA's "hairstylist" Iman Shambaugh.

Regarding Iman Shambaugh, his hairstyle is much more famous than himself, not to mention his iconic "chimney head", just make up the picture that he once had "Adidas logo head" and "gourd baby head", which can make people think of how peculiar his hairstyle is.

Iman Shambaugh, who was also a Knicks player, was drafted by the New York Knicks with the 17th pick in 2011. In Smith's trade, he came to Cleveland as a "head", but he didn't expect to get a championship ring after a year, at this time he was proud of the spring breeze, and he didn't pay attention to the rookie in front of him who had recently been blackened by the media.

Anyway, Dunleavy Jr.'s poor defense is recognized by the whole league, and it is inevitable that he can't defend Roy, but he is different, as long as Iman Shambaugh, a member of my championship team, defends Roy's score.

Shambaught kept running with Roy, and his mouth didn't stop.

"I heard that you are Roy, at the time of the draft, the media blew you into the sky, how do you feel now?"

As he spoke, Champot shook against his chimney, a few centimeters long, and Roy looked bored and didn't talk.

James over there took advantage of this gap and forced Holiday to succeed, and the score became 12:22.

Fast attack, the silent Roy ran again without warning, he knew that a talkative villain like Iman Shambaugh usually didn't survive a few words, and the best way to beat him was to score.

Roy had wind at his feet, and he ran across half the pitch like the wind, but the expected pass didn't happen.

Vujacic didn't pass the ball, and he could see clearly that behind Roy, a guy with a "chimney head" was following Roy indefinitely.

Quickly, Roy was shocked, it seems that this "chimney head" is not in vain......
