Chapter 362: The Insurmountable James
Roy is so strong, Roy is so strong today.
The New York fans cheered excitedly, they couldn't believe the scene in front of them, the first five rounds after the opening were basically Roy and Anthony heads-up.
The core of the two generations of Knicks played in the dark, but the score was indeed an astonishing 10:0, and the first 5 attacks on Roy were successful 4 times, of which 2 were 2+1 balls, and Anthony faced Roy's leaky defense and unexpectedly missed all 5 shots.
Roy is really strong, Roy is simply too strong.
At this time, the game had been played for 4 minutes, the Cavaliers didn't score 1 point, James couldn't sit still, in order to take care of Anthony's emotions, he also acquiesced to his and Roy's heads-up, but seeing Anthony being ravaged by Roy again and again, James began to get anxious.
What is Anthony up on? He was actually blown up by Roy? Should we continue to indulge Anthony to continue to play singles with Roy? What if I lose this game?
What has Roy experienced in the past 3 months? What kind of devilish training did he do? That's an impressive improvement.
Now even James, the number one in the league, has to admit that Roy is strong, although he will also see reports and game highlights about Roy on TV before, but he can't imagine Roy's true strength through the screen, and only now has he felt Roy's rapid transformation.
Compared with Roy, who was a little young in the opening game, Roy is now like a veteran All-Star player with many years of game experience.
On the court, Anthony was completely overwhelmed, and he was once again deceived into a foul by Roy's forced breakthrough, and Anthony received his third personal foul in just 4 minutes, and it seemed that his time was about to be stopped.
Now even if James still cares about his friend's face and doesn't take the initiative, head coach Tyronn Lue can't wait, and taking advantage of Anthony's third foul, he simply replaced the "melon" full of resentment.
Anthony is off, so who will defend Roy?
There is no doubt that there is only one person in the Cavaliers who can defend Roy, and that is naturally the first person in the league - LeBron James.
O, it's terrible, the New York fans at the scene just finished booing Anthony, and when they saw James standing in front of Roy, they immediately burst into cheers.
"Come on, Roy, kill James too, you're the strongest in the league."
"Roy, your chance has come, it's time to overthrow James' evil rule."
"Don't be afraid of James, he is not better than you in other aspects except for walking, Roy, you are the real All-Star, you are the real MVP."
New York fans have always been known for their professionalism, and they are naturally the best judges on the spot.
In addition to the emotional touting, this cheering actually expresses the views of the fans, and Roy is not worthy of James at all.
They just witnessed the "current" Roy beating the "former" Anthony, and their appetite is naturally getting bigger and bigger, but their expectations are not unfounded, Anthony is still Anthony in the end, even if he loses the All-Star, even if he is the second leader in the Cavaliers, he is still the big killer who casually averages 20 points per game Anthony, Roy can defeat Anthony from the front, which proves that Roy has the strength to be close to the top players in the league.
And seeing that Carmelo Anthony, the former boss of New York City, was beaten so completely and booed by the fans, Mike Brin, who had witnessed Anthony's glory, couldn't help but sigh, "Seriously, I never thought that one day I would see Anthony beaten so badly, although I was a little angry and puzzled when Anthony left the team, but seeing such a lonely Anthony, my heart is still a little uncomfortable." ”
Brin is an emotional person after all, and the happy Fraser doesn't care about Anthony's feelings at all, and his words are harsh.
"Hey, Mike, it's all gone, Anthony is no longer that Anthony, and now it seems that Anthony's failure to be an All-Star is not completely unreasonable, at least compared to Roy, he has more reasons for not being selected, yes, times have changed, and the current king of New York is Roy."
Fraser's words did hit the nail on the head, as far as the current situation is concerned, Roy is indeed stronger than Anthony, after the chase just now, Roy's Knicks actually led the Cavaliers with a score of 12:0 on the court, which is something that New York fans could not have imagined before the game.
"Hey, rookie, now it's my turn to deal with you, and I declare your show over."
James is obviously still angry about Roy's opening words, but with Anthony's experience, he doesn't dare to take Roy too lightly, and this sentence is more like encouraging himself.
Amid the almost frantic shouting of the fans in the stadium, the battle between Roy and James began.
James is James, compared to his fellow student Anthony, James is definitely another equalweight player, not to mention any experience, technology, temperament, just physical, James has dumped Anthony a lot.
Before facing James, Roy was full of confidence, defeated Anthony, took a big lead, and the fans at the scene fully supported him, all of which gave him the courage and determination to fight James. But when it really came time to hit James shoulder to shoulder, chest to chest, and leg to leg, Roy immediately felt a strong pressure. Roy immediately thought of his first and only encounter with James.
In that game, Roy, who was not afraid of tigers, was directly defeated by James with a strong physical advantage, which was Roy's first defeat in the NBA, and it was also the first time he felt that insurmountable power.
Roy, who refused to admit defeat, recorded all of James' technical characteristics after that game, and he waited to settle the account one day.
Roy originally thought that as long as he kept exercising, kept improving, and then combined with his own technical analysis, he could beat James, but obviously Roy was still a little naïve.
James is James in the end, and as soon as his brutal and strong body stands in front of Roy, Roy's offensive efficiency immediately drops. James is like a high wall, blocking Roy's way, Roy can't get around James, whether it is shooting or breaking through, Roy has to have a lot of physical contact with James, and this high-intensity physical contact has a considerable impact on the completion of technical movements.
Roy now finally understands why Carl Malone puts so much emphasis on upper body strength training, if there is no strong strength, then after fighting James, he can basically only watch the sky to eat.
Although Roy's body can crush Anthony, it seems to be a breath away from James, the strongest in the league, even if James can't cover or grab the basketball in Roy's hands, the defensive pressure he gives Roy is too amazing.
After Roy was limited, the Knicks' scoring suddenly stalled, and the 12-point number was like a nail in the coffin, nailed to the big screen. On the Cavaliers' side, although James can't easily bargain from Roy, they still have Thomas Jr., Love, Jefferson, and Korver, who just traded, and the Cavaliers have a lot of scoring points. Without the wayward Anthony, the Cavaliers' offense opened up, and the gap in the score was slowly narrowed.
irritable, seeing Roy being defended by James, Hornacek couldn't help but be irritable, and the calm and leisure at the beginning had long been thrown out of the clouds.
There's no way, it's futile to leave Roy on the court now, it's better to cultivate yourself and try to fight again on another day, Hornacek has no room for maneuver, Roy is his biggest trump card today, if he knocks this trump card off in the first quarter, then the game will definitely be lost.
In order to win, Hornacek had to reluctantly replace Roy.
And after Roy left the court, the game completely fell to the side of the Cavaliers, and the Cavaliers were full of firepower, beating the Knicks' semi-main lineup without fighting back.
At the end of the first quarter, the Cavaliers came from behind to take a five-point lead at 27:22.
What to do? How is James going to deal with it? How are the Cavaliers going to deal with it?
Roy, who was sitting on the bench, was draped in a towel and kept thinking about this question, and his notebook recorded a full 5 pages of ways to crack James's offense and defense, but when he got to the court, those lessons seemed to be all on paper all at once.
Is James invincible? No, of course not.
So how do you defeat this "gorilla"? Roy couldn't help but fall into deep thought......
