Like DeRozan and Roy, Lillard is also a player owned by Bill Duffy's BDA Sports Management agency, so to be honest, Lillard is still Roy's nominal brother.

This isn't the first time Roy and Lillard have faced each other.

They had met since this summer training camp, but it was only a one-sided relationship, as the curious Lillard and Roy, Bill Duffy's new favourite, briefly battled for two rounds and left, and their record was a draw that day, with neither of them being able to defend against the other's offense, and the two sides exchanged blows and ended in a draw.

Is Lillard hard to defend? Difficult, of course difficult, his ever-changing rhythm and peculiar shots are all very headache weapons in one-on-one heads-up.

Is Lillard invincible? No, Lillard is just an NBA star, he's not a god, and most importantly, he doesn't have any tricks that he can't crack.

For Roy, who is not what it used to be, Lillard is not invincible.

As soon as he sat on the sidelines, Roy was carefully observing Lillard's offensive rhythm and shooting habits.

Lillard's technical characteristics are the kind of traditional guard who relies on skill to score, judging from the Lillard's physical test data provided by the scouts: except for his excellent arm span (202cm), Lillard's other statistics can only be regarded as above average, he is short (190cm tall in shoes, and there is moisture), but the speed is not top (3.34 seconds in 3/4 sprints, Roy ran in 3 seconds), has a certain bounce (maximum vertical bounce of 100cm), but the confrontation ability is average (weight 88kg, also water).

According to the genre division of the NBA, Lillard is neither a floor stream like James Harden and Isaiah Thomas, nor a flying stream like Russell Westbrook and Dwyane Wade, nor a rare speed stream in the league like John Wall and Kyrie Irving.

Watching the flow of the touch of eating in the sky? If it's against this type of player, then Roy may still have some experience, and in the end, he may be half a talent-dependent hand flow.

In BA games, generally not when it is forced to do so, the head coach will not use the ace to dislocate and directly confront, just like Jordan defended Iverson, James defended Rose, and Yao Ming defended Boozer.

As soon as Lillard saw Roy, who was 10 centimeters taller than him, coming to defend him, the liver fire that had just been suppressed immediately came up again. No way, who makes Roy popular, he is a celebrity in front of Bill Duffy, Adam Shaw's magic weapon to open up the Chinese market, the darling of fans and media, he has gained almost everyone's attention as soon as he debuted, and if Roy is added to the candidate list in this year's All-Star Game, then he will definitely be selected as a starter without dispute, which is something that Lillard envy and hatred and can't ask for.

For a player like Lillard, who claims to be a "powerful faction", meeting a so-called "idol" player like Roy is naturally popular, even if he is his own junior brother, he will not show mercy.

The two fought without saying anything.

When it comes to Lillard's offensive moves, it can be summed up in two moves. One is a breakaway layup with a change of pace, and the other is a surprise long-range three-pointer.

Let's talk about the breakthrough layup first, this is one of Lillard's proudest stunts, whether it is a one-on-one breakthrough layup with a change of pace change, or a one-on-two breakthrough layup with a pick-and-roll combination, Lillard has done a very good job. He has a great hand with the ball and a beautiful layup. Of course, the most important thing is that he has a ball quotient that is higher than that of ordinary players, which is why he can use the changes in foot movement and the change of layup shooting point to complete the layup repeatedly when he is not fast, explosive, and bounced.

One of the reasons why Lillard likes to attribute himself to a "power" player is that he has a high ball quotient, yes, I don't have as much physical fitness as you, but I can find your weaknesses, and that's where I'm good.

Lillard's first move to Roy was a driving layup, which is the scoring tactic he used when he exploded with Roy in summer training camp.

He clearly remembered that the tall Roy couldn't guard against this move. Although Roy was fast and bounced high, he couldn't keep up with his changeable pace.

It is precisely because of this absolute confidence that Lillard did not choose to block and pick and roll in his first offense, and after a few seemingly ordinary dribbles, he directly executed the breakaway. Accelerate first, then stop sharply, and then accelerate to change direction, usually after such a routine is played, 90% of opponents will not be able to keep up, this is all Lillard's plan in his mind.

"Left, you have to change to the left to break through me."

Before Lillard could take a step, Roy suddenly spoke.

A few words, but Lillard's plan was completely disrupted.

How does he know I'm going to change to the left? Lillard was shocked, his movement was indeed guessed by Roy, but he had already stepped out, and it was difficult to recover. It doesn't matter if Roy is bluffing or a blind cat encountering a dead mouse, I don't believe in evil anyway, and even if you know what my intentions are, can you keep up with me? Lillard sped up thinking about it.

Lillard is indeed very powerful, if Roy is still the Roy before, then he will definitely still have to be deflated, but this time is different from the past, Roy is no longer yesterday's Wuxia Amon, under the baptism of James, Harden, and Wade, his defensive ability has already completed the leaps and bounds.

When Lillard finished this set of "Lijia footwork", he was surprised to find that Roy was still standing straight in front of him, and he didn't shake it? No, it's not like Roy from before.

Lillard couldn't help but be a little flustered, he quickly dribbled the ball out of the restricted area, and then came again according to his mental mantra, this time Lillard played his rhythm faster and more chaotic, he thought to himself, no matter how fast you react, no matter how much oil you put under your feet, you can't see my change, right?

"Right."

Roy spoke Lillard's mind accurately.

Hearing the word "right" spit out of Roy's mouth, Lillard's whole mentality was a little hairy, and Roy in front of him not only didn't pass half an inch by him, but also accurately predicted his actions. What's going on? Is there something wrong with the way I pass people?

Seeing that the time was about to come, Lillard had no choice, he had to force a shot, this time he couldn't escape Roy's keen eyes, his big hand waved, although he didn't directly cover the ball, but successfully changed Lillard's shooting trajectory, and the first defense was successful.

Make no mistake, but what did I get wrong? Or did Roy get stronger? Lillard, who returned to defense, was full of black lines, and with this counterattack, the Knicks scored two points easily by Jaylen Brown.

Immediately, Lillard's second offensive attempt began, and at this time he was still a little unwilling to admit defeat, he still didn't believe that he would take Roy and couldn't do anything, it must just be that Roy happened to guess his attack intentions.

With pride, Lillard attacked again, still the best at changing the pace, but like the previous time, Lillard couldn't help Roy at all. He found himself getting more and more frustrated, Roy didn't speak this time, but his body honestly told Lillard that you can't get past me at all.

Another successful defense, Lillard, who made a hasty shot, hit the iron again.

Why? Why? Why? Lillard, who was returning to defense, kept asking himself why Roy, who was once easy to beat, has now become so difficult to deal with.

Lillard struggled to control his emotions, but fortunately he was a calm guy by nature, which is the biggest advantage that distinguishes him from other big five and three thick muscle men.

Lillard immediately calmed down, he understood one thing, there was definitely no way to beat Roy with the old routine today, there had to be a change. With the lessons of the first two times, the smart Lillard didn't dare to hold it up any longer, and the third offense he was ready to play a regular pick-and-roll strategy, he said hello, and the backup center Leonard understood it, and everything outside the three-point line blocked Roy on the other side.

Succeeded, Lillard breathed a sigh of relief to see that he got rid of Roy, and now he only needs to get past Knicks backup center Hernangomez for an easy layup.

Hernangomez is not Roy, he is completely unsure that Lillard's offensive rhythm has been cleaned, but just as Lillard was about to make a layup, he only heard Leonard behind him shouting "Attention!" ”

Attention, is it calling my attention? When Lillard reacted, the ball had already been shot, and there was no turning back from the bow, and when he realized that Leonard was reminding him, it was Roy who flew the ball, and it was Roy's chaser block method that he excelled at.

O, the fans in the stadium let out a cry of applause, a beautiful pegboard hat.

There is no time for Lillard to complain and think about it, the Knicks' counterattack has already been launched, and these inexhaustible bench players are really a nightmare for the Trail Blazers today, and in a blink of an eye, Farid scored two points with a dunk.

Impossible, impossible, impossible. What went wrong? Is it my problem, or is it Roy's problem?

When the fourth chance came to Lillard, even he began to doubt himself, and if he said that his physical fitness was not as good as Roy, he would admit it, but why couldn't he beat Roy with his vaunted rhythm change and golf quotient?

Could it be said?

Lillard may have guessed a thing or two, but that's not all, Lillard's skills are really good, and his ball quotient is really high. But helplessly, he faced Roy with a higher ball quotient and an advantage that no other professional player could match - intuition.

Roy has a play instinct that no other player can replicate, or it can also be called a "tactical eye" trait, which is the result of Roy's lack of formal basketball training before, Roy's understanding of basketball is different from everyone else, when other players are thinking about defending opponents through footwork, through speed, through all other technical means, Roy can solve all problems through anticipation.

He can find out the pattern by observing the opponent's offensive rhythm and habitual movements, and record him deeply in his mind, which is why he has repeatedly broken through himself and defeated strong opponents, because every player will have his own set of things that cannot be changed and penetrated into the bone marrow, offensive rhythm, habitual movements, fixed thinking, those things that cannot be changed are weaknesses that Roy can exploit.

Lillard was really in a hurry, he decided not to bother with it anymore, he still had a final trick - unreasonable shooting, Lillard's fourth offense after completing the false swing of the breakthrough feint, directly at the three-point line step back step jumper.

Lillard wants to bet on his hand, he also believes in his hand, his fast three-point shot is unguardable, even the best defensive player Kawhi Leonard may not have guessed the timing of my shot, what can you Roy do with me?

Lillard's shot was resolute, and he felt he could at least try his luck this time. But when he made a move, he found out that Roy didn't even give himself a chance to gamble his luck, a height difference of 10 cm, a gap of 14 cm in reach, and a maximum height gap of 27 cm.

Damion (Lillard), it's your footwork that betrays you, when it's time to jump shots, you are used to putting your right foot behind your back, and Roy, who completes the block, wants to tell Lillard that he understands everything......
