"Roy is going to challenge James, oh my God, it was a historic moment, Roy's NBA debut caught the interest of the league's number one." Seeing that Roy was going to single out LeBron James, Brin immediately used his most famous incendiary commentary to set the mood up.

"Very good, I just want to say that it is very good, there are really fewer and fewer players like Roy who dared to challenge the 'little emperor' James in his rookie season, he reminds me of Kobe Bryant, who challenged Jordan in his rookie season, I don't know if the result of this heads-up will be the same as Jordan and Kobe Bryant back then."

In the corner of the court, thousands of eyes converge here.

Expectant eyes, eager eyes, questioning eyes, whether they are fans in the stadium or in front of the TV, they are all waiting for an answer.

Can Roy pick out James? Or at least not to lose to James?

Everyone knows that this is Roy's best chance to prove his strength.

Roy, who has the ball in hand, is about to attack, and with his knowledge and perception of James, there is almost no possibility that he will pass James to complete the score. The only chance to score in front of James is to create a few tenths of a second shot for yourself, either with cover or with a change of tempo, just like Stephen Curry did.

But the first time he faced James, Roy didn't want to rely on the power of others, he wanted to try his own pounds, and he chose a real one-on-one.

The basketball in Roy's hand shot faster and faster, it repeatedly alternated under Roy's crotch, accelerating, changing direction, stopping sharply, and turning, Roy was waiting for James's steps to make a mistake, but James was stable like a mountain.

The first person in the league is really not simple, and he can't be fooled by pure dribbling skills. Roy chose to change his strategy, he was going to break through, this is his usual trick, after acceleration or straight or change direction or step back to shoot, ordinary defenders basically have little to do with Roy's almost perfect offensive technique with the ball.

But James is not afraid of this trick, he is the first person in the league. Roy's first step to accelerate and break through felt the pressure from James, James gently put his right hand on Roy's body, Roy suddenly lost the power to accelerate, so domineering power!

Losing speed, Roy naturally couldn't complete any breakthrough and change of direction, he only had a choice to step back and shoot, of course, this was also within James's calculations, following Roy's step-back, his big hand also stretched out, it was really a palm covering the sky, Roy almost lost the space to shoot.

The pull-up jumper was bound to be blocked, leaving Roy with little choice but to pass the ball or drop back. But it's all played to this point, how can Roy show weak passes, he resolutely uses the "Jordan-style step-back jumper".

In just half a second, the two flyers confronted each other in the air, this is a duel in the air, this is a physical competition. Roy made a move, and he desperately bypassed James' big hand of the block, but under the pressure, the trajectory of the ball was already deviant.

The crisp sound of iron striking declared James' defensive success.

James cracked the "Jordan-style step-back jumper" with his strong strength.

This is Roy's rare one-on-one defeat, and before that, only Anthony on the same team and Harden and Wall in the preseason could make him feel such pressure, which may be the strength of NBA superstars.

Fortunately, the impulsive Shambaught chose his own fast attack, allowing Porzingis to catch a straight shot, send a block and rebound package, and the ball is still on the Knicks' side.

Do you want to keep trying to attack James? Roy hesitated, the ball came again, and it was clear that his teammates still trusted him.

Definitely want to win, Roy's fighting spirit is also getting hotter and stronger, in the second round he changed his strategy, he wanted to play fast, a feint clicked on James, Roy immediately stepped sideways to launch a jumper.

"Oh, did you see that? Isn't that Stephen Curry's signature move? Seeing Roy's movements, Brin couldn't help but exclaim.

That's right, this is exactly what Roy taught himself to do with Curry's jump shot, and although his current hand speed is not as fast as that of peak Curry, his steps are bigger, and defenders don't have time to react in one-on-one situations.

James definitely didn't have time to react, this was Roy's expectation, before that, no one had ever been able to prevent Roy's difficult jumper from a sideways jump, only the basket and luck could stop him.

But, there are no absolutes in everything, when Roy jumped to the highest point, James then came and pounced, and James, who was as strong as a bull, pressed his whole body, and Roy's body couldn't help but lose its balance.

Isn't this ball a foul? Roy waited in the air for the referee's whistle, but the referee didn't say anything at all, and James' experience and privilege played a role in this contest.

Roy, who lost his balance, reluctantly shot again, but it was clear that luck was still not on Roy's side, and it was another iron. This time, Shambaugh, who grabbed the rebound, didn't dare to make a mistake, he obediently handed the ball to James, and it was James' turn to attack Roy.

Holiday playfully exchanged targets with Roy, knowing that it was time for Roy and James to show.

"Rookie, I heard that you upset Melo (Anthony), this ball can be regarded as a late welcome to your entry into the NBA." As soon as James finished speaking, his body was already crushed.

With a hesitation, James' huge body has squeezed his position, and his unreasonable "crab step" breakthrough has been activated, and Roy knows that James in accelerated motion is unstoppable, and he has to foul early.

The foul can't make James speed up, Roy just thought and did that, his right hand cut hard to James's right hand, and took the initiative to apply for a foul.

Roy's movements were fast and ruthless, he hit James' right hand with the ball, he hoped to use a beating foul to block James's pace, but the veteran James had long expected Roy to have this move, and the moment Roy touched him, his body had already taken off in the air.

One, two, three, James was stunned and slowly threw the ball into the basket with one left hand.

The referee's gesture was clear and clear, the goal was valid, and a penalty was added.

O, the whole stadium was detonated by James's explosive offense.

And Roy, who was behind him, could only helplessly raise his right hand to signal foul.

His first challenge to James ended in defeat......

……

"Roy, it's too early for you to single out James, James is a superstar who combines body, technology, and brain, and you are now much worse than him in terms of physical fitness, not to mention anything else, don't worry, the future is yours."

At the start of the second quarter, Roy returned to the bench and the Knicks trailed by 10 points at 18:28 in the first quarter.

At this time, the person who taught Roy was Derrick Ross, and he must have remembered the scene when he singled out James.

Rose is right, there are very few stars in the league who can defend James one-on-one, let alone defeat James. There are too many conditions needed to defeat James, who is the first person in the league and has a comprehensive ability of 94, which is too difficult for Roy, who has just reached 76 (72 attribute abilities plus 4 skill abilities).

Roy was also thinking about a way to beat James, maybe not now, or maybe there was another way, looking at Jennings and Anthony who were playing around on the court, he suddenly thought of something.

That's right, James is not invincible, it's just that the key to winning him is not in himself, but in someone else......

Roy played well in the first quarter, and although he couldn't beat James, he at least proved his ability to lead the bench to a good game.

In this case, Hornacek also made up his mind and made Vujacic, Holiday , Hernangomez and Roy form a fixed pairing, and Porzingis, who was already at odds with Anthony, was also arranged on Roy's side.

With five minutes left in the second quarter, Hornacek was about to make another substitution, and his substitution shocked many spectators outside the court.

Five ups, five downs, more exaggerated than the previous four ups, four downs, if not mistaken, until garbage time, few coaches rotate players like this.

Rose, Lee, Anthony, O'Quinn and Noah were all brought on with Vujacic, Holiday and Roy, Porzingis and Hernangomez.

"Walter, from your professional point of view, what tactics is our head coach Hornacek playing? Could it be that splitting the 10 players into two groups and taking turns on the pitch was his biggest takeaway of the summer? Brin raised the doubts in the minds of the audience, and now the question is thrown to the Knicks' decorated Walter Fraser.

Of course, Fraser is aware of the internal problems of this Knicks team, but he certainly won't be stupid enough to tell everyone that it's because the Knicks are fighting and the stars are tearing them apart. His answer was very tactful: "I think Jeff (Hornacek) probably realized a problem, Anthony and Roy can lead the team's offense on different occasions and at different times, just like the Sacramento Kings back then, and the Knicks' bench bandits may also be born......
