Chapter 192: A Challenge from the CBA League MVP
"You know what? Chinese players like you, I am simply easy and happy to deal with, and the physical fitness of you Chinese players is too ordinary. ”
"By the way, when I was in the CBA, you were probably still breastfeeding, oh no, are you still breastfeeding? Mommy Baby. ”
"You see, I can win you (six three-pointers) in just six rounds, you rookies are vase players hyped up by the media, you have no idea what the real NBA is."
Lester Hudson chattered and trash talk to Roy before he even played, he has a lot of experience in the game, he knows that this way can make those rookies who have not seen the world panic immediately, and, in his impression, the psychological quality of Chinese players has not been very good.
But Roy is no one else, he is not a Chinese player in the traditional sense, and he is not an ordinary rookie who has not seen the world.
In the face of Hudson's constant provocations, Roy only responded coldly: "I'm sorry, who are you?" I don't know you at all. ”
A good sentence "Who are you?" This angered Hudson turned out to be the CBA league MVP being ignored by a Chinese player.
Didn't you watch football since you were a child? Hudson was completely blown up by Roy, and the other free agents on the sidelines also began to heckle after hearing Roy's provocative words.
"Kill him, Lester, can you bear this provocation?"
"Lester, you can't lose to a rookie, show your strength."
"If you lose to a rookie, Leicester, you can go back to China."
There was a lot of buzz on the pitch, and Hornacek chose to sit quietly on the sidelines.
He stood on the sidelines, holding his cheeks and waiting for a big battle to come. Seriously, all he knew about Roy was the incomplete scouting report and the video from the last solo physical test.
It was the first time he had seen Roy play, and what kind of player he was was intrigued.
Assistant coach Kurt Rambis was assigned to be the referee, and the rules of the game were simple: one-on-one bullfighting, the first 11 points to score the winner, two points counted as one point, and three-pointers counted as two points.
At the beginning of the bullfight, Hudson lost for a while before shooting, but at that time he thought that it should be okay to let Roy attack first, but he didn't know that his nightmare began.
Roy showed no mercy.
It's not just Hudson that he's going to have to beat, but Mills, who is full of bad water.
In the first ball, Roy used skillful ball control and changeable rhythm to shake Hudson's footsteps safely, and suddenly made a violent dunk on the inside, 1:0.
In the second game, Roy faced Hudson's defense with a three-point jumper from a step back, 3-0.
In the third ball, Roy was even more unreasonable, a change of direction to accelerate and burst, using super speed, strong body and amazing arm span to dunk the ball into the basket through Hudson, 4:0.
Seeing this, the entire training ground was already quiet, and the onlookers were dumbfounded, and they were all impressed by Roy's terrifying strength.
Mills looked embarrassed, he didn't expect Phil Jackson to run into a dead mouse and pick up such a treasure, this time he was going to drive him out of class, but he had to change the way.
After a brief thought, he slowly walked towards Hornacek, who was already completely intoxicated by Roy's performance.
"Jeff, what do you think of Roy?" Mills' voice brought back Hornacekra, who was still fantasizing about the big scene of the new season.
"You ask me how Roy is? That's great, of course, and I think Conteney (Lee) is probably going to be the sixth man in the new season. "Hornacek's admiration for Roy is overflowing, no, to be exact, Hornacek is a little excited at this time, and he feels that he must be able to do a big job in the new season.
"Listen, Jeff, you want my 10 million dollar signing star to be the bench? Is that appropriate? Besides, when I signed Contney, I gave him the promise of a key player. Mills clasped his hands to his chest and looked to the ground, looking like he wanted to say something.
"Steve, what do you mean?" Hornacek looks honest, but he actually knows how to be sophisticated, and the reason why he was able to find a new job immediately after the Suns "got out of class" also has something to do with his cleverness.
He was the one Mills signed, so he naturally wanted to sell Mills a few thin noodles.
At this point, Hornacek was close to Mills, and he was waiting for the cunning black general manager to give advice.
"My idea is simple, the only core of this Knicks team is Anthony, there's no doubt about that. And Roy, as a newcomer, doesn't seem to be suitable to play the main team right away, I suggest that you better let him start from the bench and slowly investigate, if he plays well, then give him a chance, so that everyone has nothing to say, what do you think? ”
After listening to Mills's words, Hornacek understood that Mills didn't like Roy very much, probably because he wanted to maintain Anthony's absolute core position, or maybe because Roy was not his chosen relationship, or because of the legendary internal struggle. In short, this Knicks team has problems, and their internal contradictions may be more serious than what is rumored from the outside.
Hornacek is a person who understands, and he naturally won't take the initiative to offend Mills until the infighting is clear, and he nodded slightly, acquiescing to Mills' suggestion.
Mills, who received a satisfactory answer, nodded and walked away.
He has long been unconcerned about the game on the field, this is a slaughter without suspense, Hudson was beaten by Roy to the ground, and it will be disturbing to watch it again.
"Beep." With the whistle of Kurt Rambis, the game between Roy and Hudson was over, the score was one-sided 11-0, and Roy won the CBA league MVP without much difficulty, Roy's strength was obvious to all, and he didn't even let Hudson touch the ball a few times.
"Who's next?" The one-on-one confrontation with Hudson made Roy's blood boil, and he continued to find someone to challenge him.
But after the battle just now, who dared to stand up for the battle, and who dared to stretch his neck to continue to slap Roy in the face. Look at Hudson over there, he's completely gone, and if nothing else, he's going to pack up and go back to China tonight.
It was clear that no one dared to challenge Roy anymore, and no one wanted to be the next Hudson.
Seeing this, Hornacek also pushed the boat to announce the end of the heads-up session, and the test of Roy was over. Everyone went back to their homes, found their mothers, practiced well, and prepared for tomorrow's summer league.
The crowd dispersed, and the conflicted Hornacek left Roy behind.
"Roy, I have to say, you're even more powerful than I thought." Hornacek said and habitually touched his face again, "However, the NBA game is not that simple, I can't give you the promise of the main players right now, I still have to examine the state of Conteney (Lee) and Justin (Holiday ), so please understand." ”
"It's okay, I understand." Roy was atmospheric, at this time he still felt that Hornacek was just politely admonishing himself not to relax, and he also felt that it was definitely not a big problem to play the main force with his own strength.
Seeing Roy so straightforward, Hornacek was a little unbearable, according to his original train of thought, why do you need to examine Contney Lee and Justin Holiday ah. Everyone knows that Conteney Lee is a "nerve knife" who can only play alone, and Justin Holiday is simply a strengthened version of the dragon player, they are completely unable to compare with Roy, who is technically comprehensive, physically explosive, superb ball quotient, and has unlimited potential, but because of Mills' face, Hornacek can only press Roy at the beginning of the season.
"Then you go home first, the summer league is not for you, I think our general manager Steve has seen what you are capable of, so let's meet again in the preseason."
Hornacek patted Roy on the shoulder after speaking, he was also leaving, and the group of players in front of him couldn't arouse his interest at all.
The two walked out of the stadium side by side, the sun was shining, the breeze was blowing, and a beautiful scenery suddenly met Roy's eyes: at the main entrance of the training hall, an open-top Ferrari 911 sports car was parked on the side of the road, and a blonde beauty was sitting in the car and looking around.
O, it's really a local beauty with peugeot features and charm, although she can't see her figure clearly, but with this face alone, she must have been able to kill 90% of European and American girls in seconds.
"Hey, Dad, why are you so slow, didn't you say you would leave after a good look." Seeing Roy and Hornacek coming out, the beauty suddenly spoke.
Dad? Roy glanced out of the corner of his eye, and there was no one else around. Could his dad be the expressionless farmer-faced head coach in front of him? How is this possible?
But the truth is so cruel, this talented beauty is Hornacek's beloved daughter Abby Hornacek.
When Hornacek called out the word "daughter" himself, Roy almost fainted......
