Chapter 243: Unreasonable
"Kyle (Lowry), you can't play like that, you're the brains of the team, you're the commander of the team, you can't fall into the trap of the opponent, understand?" Dwyane Casey is an experienced head coach who spotted Lowry's anomalies and suggested adjustments right away.
"Kyle is really losing too much in height to defend Roy, should you replace DeMar (DeRozan) to defend Roy?" After Casey finished speaking, assistant coach Bell Baino reminded him on the sidelines, which made Lowry anxious.
"No, Boss (Casey), let me keep defending Roy, I can handle him, trust me."
Casey looked at Lowry's serious eyes, and he understood. The star of the team really wanted to win Roy today, and in order not to hurt Lowry's pride, Casey agreed to the proposal very understandingly, and let Lowry continue to defend Roy alone.
Lowry's side is anxious, and the same is true for Roy's side, just now Roy has made three three-pointers in a row, and he has played a "hot hand" state. was about to strike while the iron was hot, but who expected that the opposite head coach Casey called a timeout so incomprehensibly. Roy, who was sitting on the bench, saw that his good condition was losing little by little, and he was in a hurry.
Fortunately, Casey called only a 20-second short timeout, so that the time for the players to grind on and off the court and serve, Roy could still play another ball with a "hot hand", and in order to get the ball quickly, Roy even deliberately loosened Lowry's defense a little.
Don't say it, Roy is so relieved, and Lowry has no direction. His breakthrough offense is also strange, some people are very accurate against defense, and opponents are not very good at playing when they release open space for him. Seeing that Roy let himself go, Lowry hesitated for a moment and still voted, and this shot was really iron.
"Give me the ball." Can't wait for his teammates to grind there, Roy immediately asked for the ball from Holiday who served the ball.
With 35 seconds left in his "hot hand" state, and with a bit of luck, he might be able to hit two more balls, and with this thought, Roy got the ball and went straight to the Raptors' half.
"Oh, what is Roy doing here? Is he ready to chase and play close-to-close (one-stop attack from his own baseline to the opponent's bottom line)? It's too unreasonable to fight like this. "Brin is still desperately trying to poison Roy, and Roy is taking it all.
The Raptors obviously didn't expect Roy to kill him so simply and rudely, Lowry and Joseph reacted quickly, and they immediately surrounded Roy. Roy saw that the three-point shot could not be shot, so he simply had an idea, and took a big stride with speed to throw off the two people and enter the interior, at this time the Raptors only had the Brazilian Noquera guarding the inside, and he didn't expect Roy to come in so violently, and the reaction was slow, and Roy had already completed the throw in front of him.
It's still an easy goal! At 35:42, the Knicks kept chasing points.
Incredibly, Roy's unreasonable offenses in a row made the Raptors stunned.
However, there was something even more unthinkable, and just after Roy's goal, he found himself in a "hot hand" for another 30 seconds. Bingo, it turns out that the goal can continue the "hot hand" state? So amazing?
That is to say, as long as a certain goal rate is maintained, this "hot hand" state can be maintained for a long time? Roy suddenly understood that maintaining the feel of the hand triggers a virtuous cycle, which should be a big secret to those superstars being able to score points consistently.
Roy, who discovered the New World, was in a good mood for a moment, and now he was completely in a state of euphoria, leaving any physical problems behind.
In the next ball, Lowry also wanted to draw a gourd and use the explosive power of the first step to cut into the penalty area to attack, but it was only three, and Roy, who had observed it twice, had already figured out Lowry's unchanged offensive routine. He is nothing more than a sudden breakthrough in the first step, although this move is difficult to defend, but it is not invincible, in the end Lowry's speed is not too fast, and the stamina is insufficient, so he must make an offensive choice immediately after the breakthrough is completed. And if someone is blocking his breakthrough path at this time, then Lowry can only pass the ball for the most part.
Roy guessed correctly, this time Lowry's breakthrough really met resistance, the bulky O'Quinn accidentally made up, and Lowry saw that the single could not be completed as he wished, and took advantage of the situation to choose a ground-hitting pass to Patterson, who was in the open position on the inside. The Rockets teammate who was Yao Ming thought he could score with an easy jumper, but when he made a shot, he felt a strong wind blow in the back of his head.
I'm X, capped! By the time Patterson reacted, the ball had already been fanned.
It was Roy, who rushed back to the box with lightning speed, covered Patterson's shot solidly, and it was still alive, and Holiday got the rebound.
Without saying a word, Roy snatched the ball from Holiday again and went straight to the opposing half.
"Walter, did you notice that Roy was a little extra excited today, not to mention that no one believed that this was a player who just played 35 minutes in Boston yesterday, what motivates him to work so hard? And what he did today was so unreasonable. ”
"Hey, Mike, I don't care if Roy has any motivation and whether it's right to play, I just want to know how many goals Roy can make in a row, counting the throws just now, he's already made four goals in a row, will he score the next one?"
Fraser was still talking, Roy on the court had already shot, and Roy chose to shoot at a meteor-like speed within a few steps of the half, at this time he was still one step away from the three-point line, and he had to use enough time to "feel hot", he was really crazy.
"It's not reasonable at all......" I can't tell how many times Brin has shouted "unreasonable", and this "unreasonable" is almost becoming his mantra today. And if he knew that at this time in China, there was also a "Zhang Lili" who was also commenting on the game in the same way, would he smile dumbly? Will it feel better?
Oh no, although Brin said "unreasonable", he was still happy to see Roy able to crush his opponent and score frequently, this poisonous milk was worth it.
With Roy's unreasonable three-pointer just now, the Knicks have chased the score to 38:42, and the second half has only played less than 6 minutes.
There was a timeout, and the Raptors reluctantly asked for another timeout.
I'm X, Roy knew it was bad as soon as he heard the whistle, and Coach Casey really called a second timeout in 2 minutes, and this time it was a 100-second long timeout, and it seemed that his "hot hand" state couldn't be saved.
"I'm sorry, Kyle, I had to interrupt the game, if we continue to play like this, we will definitely lose, and it turns out that we have to adopt a new defensive strategy against Roy."
Casey got straight to the point, as one of the few black coaches in the NBA, his reputation among the players has always been high, and at this point he has spoken out, and Lowry has no voice.
"DeMar (DeRozan), Norman (Powell), Pascal (Sikayam), Jonas (Valanciunas), you took Corey (Joseph), Terrence (Rose), Patrick (Patterson) and Lucas (Noqueira). Cheer up, we're going to get serious, and then use the bag clip for Roy's defense, with DeMar in charge of the defense and the others in charge of the bag, do you understand? ”
"Hey, Roy, did you take doping today? I only played for 10 minutes yesterday and I was not feeling well, how did you manage to score five goals in a row? Are you Superman? ”
During the break, Hernangomez also admired Roy's steel body, the Spaniard was taught how to behave by Olynyk yesterday, and he was full of disbelief for Roy's crazy performance, like everyone else.
"How do you know how to eat?" Roy half-jokingly patted Hernangomez, he wanted to say that it wasn't that I wasn't tired, but that I was excited by my "hot hand" state before, and I rose up and reached the realm of selflessness.
And now, after 100 seconds of cooling, and being reminded by Hernangomez like this, Roy really felt a little tired, more than a little tired. Fatigue will inevitably come to the body after excitement, which is a physiological law that everyone cannot avoid.
Roy does feel tired, his physical strength has entered a state of fatigue (yellow), should he take a break? No. When Hornacek asked if he was going to take a break, Roy replied firmly, "No."
Before the break, Roy was going to win, and he was going to win the game like Kobe Bryant......
