"What kind of bullshit contest this wasted my precious time on a weekend night."

"Hey, did I just fall asleep? I'm X, I wasn't caught on camera, was I? I don't want to embarrass the face of the Celtics fans. ”

"Honey, are we going to watch this rugby game in the second half? Why don't you just take me to the NFL next time? ”

The Celtics fans in the arena were complaining about the boring hand-to-hand battle between the Celtics and the Knicks in the first half.

At halftime 36:40, the Knicks trailed by four points, and the two teams combined to score 76 points. There is no need to explain anything about the scene of the game, the score has said it all, and in the first half, the two teams dedicated to the fans in addition to endless physical collisions, all kinds of hasty shots that were forced to nearly 24 seconds.

The Knicks naturally lost their offensive backbone after Roy returned to the bench, and in the face of the Celtics' tenacious defense, both Rose's breakthrough and Porzingis' projection lost their crosshairs, and they could only rely on the sky to eat.

And the Celtics are not much better, their offense is almost all handed over to the "strongest 175 on the surface" Thomas Jr. to tandem, but today the core point guard was obviously affected by the pre-game trade rumors, he wanted to prove his worth too much, so he wanted to finish almost every offense, which caused the Celtics' offense to be a mess.

The two teams smashed each other so hard, and the result was that the "Green Army" barely relied on the hard power of the main force to win a little advantage, and it will soon be eaten away by the "bench bandits" led by Roy, and it seems that this game will be difficult to win or lose until the last moment.

Stevens was already in a bit of a hurry, he couldn't let the main players play the full 24 minutes of the second half, and he didn't want to use the main players and substitutes separately, which would only be broken by the opponents. Of course, he won't abandon his team's only remaining offensive knife, Thomas Jr.

Stevens pondered for a long time, and finally came up with a novel idea: why not let Thomas Jr. also play as a substitute and fight Roy?

That's right, instead of letting Thomas Jr. fight against the Knicks' tough-defensive main team, it is better to learn from Hornacek and use him to force the Knicks' bench.

Stevens did what he said, and at the beginning of the second half, Roy and Thomas Jr., the offensive cores of both teams, were really sitting on the bench. Stevens and Hornacek fielded 10 muscular men in hand-to-hand combat, and without the presence of a core player with the ability to organize tandems, the ball was even more ugly.

The second half played for nearly 5 minutes, the two sides were messy, the score almost stagnated, and when I looked at the score, it was only 42:46, which was less than 90 points together.

"It's ugly, it's a lethargic game, if I didn't look at the game information, I thought we were back in the nineties, no, this game is even worse than the defensive battles of the nineties, they are just messing around."

"yes, Mike, it's not so much how good the defense is, it's just that the offense on both sides is so bad, and the Knicks are now left with Rose's burst and KP [Porzingis] shooting, and the Celtics are completely addicted to hand-to-hand combat."

Amid the complaints of commentators and fans, the game was suspended. The protagonists of the two teams came on the court, Hornacek and Stevens really had a tacit understanding in this game, and now the third quarter played 6 minutes, Roy and Thomas Jr. appeared at the same time, and they also played against each other.

"Rookie, I heard I'm going to be your teammate soon? Then you've got to call me boss first. Thomas Jr. joked about Roy as soon as he came on the court, he wanted to win a city in momentum, and Roy's counterattack was also thorough.

"Welcome to New York to assist me, Isaiah (Thomas)."

"Bastard, you brought it on yourself." Roy's taunt made Thomas Jr. very unhappy, the 2011 No. 60 rookie is well aware of the hard work of that kind of low-level player, he was selected by the Sacramento Kings in the last pick in the draft due to physical conditions, starting as a bench player, and with his own efforts step by step to play the main team, become an All-Star, and then become the core of the team.

And now, if the team wants to trade himself, then his future is naturally a long list of question marks, can he still be the boss in other teams? Can you still have unlimited firing rights? Will there still be a group of obedient teammates?

Thomas Jr.'s uncertainty about the future comes from his lack of confidence in his abilities, he is afraid of losing everything he has now, he feels that only in Boston, only in the Celtics can he play like a fish in water, and if he leaves here, he is likely to go to a low point.

So he's worried, he's scared, he's angry, so he's going to try to prove that he shouldn't be traded.

Thomas Jr. is not talking nonsense, he is going to attack.

One step, Thomas Jr. has already made a move. It's so fast, it's really fast, little Thomas's speed surprised Roy a little, not only with his feet, but also with his hands.

Before Roy was ready, Thomas Jr. made a three-point shot.

The ball is in! Boston fans, who had been suppressed for a long time, finally shouted out.

Yo, this kid is short, and he's pretty fast.

It wasn't until Thomas Jr. scored a three-pointer that Roy realized that this little man was not only good at mouth, he did have two brushes. Not only does he have the speed advantage of the average short man, but also probably to prevent being blocked, and the frequency of Thomas's shots is also perverted.

This shot is faster than Harden's, fast, concise, and clear, so that the defenders have no idea where to start. Thomas Jr. relies entirely on his touch to shoot, and this kind of pitcher is the most terrifying, because once they shoot well, they can't stop with a shot, and it's hard to defend.

Roy was right, Thomas Jr. is the kind of nervous knife player who survives by his touch, unlike a talented pitcher like Roy, Thomas Jr.'s shooting is extremely random, which makes him either accurate for one night or several hours.

Thomas Jr. made four three-pointers in the first half today, and it seems that he has found his touch in the second half.

He had to be pressed for a beating, and Roy thought of a countermeasure and attacked Thomas Jr. Seeing Roy starting, Jaylen Brown on the side was about to come up to wrap up, but Thomas Jr. immediately stopped him.

"Keep an eye on your own people, and Roy will leave it to me."

It seems that this dwarf general is very face-saving, and a kind help like Jaylen Brown is obviously very taboo for him. was reprimanded by the team boss, Brown had to obediently go back to keep an eye on Holiday , and then no one else came up to wrap up.

Roy would like to thank Phil Jackson, whose psychological warfare has created a good offensive environment for Roy, and now he can be completely one-on-one with Thomas Jr.

Unlike Thomas Jr., who is only 175 cm, Roy, who is 2 meters tall and has an arm span of 214 cm, has many ways to deal with Thomas Jr.

As long as he doesn't go down the third road, Thomas Jr. will not be able to defend this "giant".

Roy really didn't want to dribble through, he stepped on the three-point line and directly hit a dry three-pointer.

It's so tall, little Thomas was completely dumbfounded, he originally thought that Roy would break through like before, and then he could use the advantage of speed and agility to intercept, but he didn't expect Roy to play dry with his height advantage.

Let's pull it out, but Thomas Jr. definitely didn't expect Roy's dry pull shot to be so accurate, "hmph", the crisp echo of the Nets lowered the decibels of the fans in the audience a lot.

"I can see that you don't dare break through me, Roy." Thomas Jr. provoked Roy with an indignant face, but his hand didn't stop, and as he spoke, he made another three-pointer.

What a verbose and cunning little man, Roy can see that little Thomas is not a good stubble, and he must not be underestimated.

And to deal with this bad material, Roy's response is to continue to bully your height.

"Hey, Roy, are you really afraid of my defense? Do you dare to break through? ”

"Aren't you too? You're not also avoiding me to shoot threes. Roy said, and he also took a step outside, he was really afraid of Thomas Jr.'s three-pointer, and he planned to expand the defense.

Thomas Jr. saw that the opportunity was coming, and slammed into the penalty area.

"You're so naïve." Thomas Jr. yelled that the ball had been shot.

I'm X, these two steps are really fast, Roy didn't have time to spew trash talk, Thomas Jr. had already completed the breakthrough and throwing, and the ball was scored with his hand.

"That's strength, rookie." Little Thomas, who ran back to the halfcourt, didn't forget to taunt Roy, and now, Roy is really on fire......
