Iman Shambaugh was clearly very happy with his defense, and when Roy stopped, his trash talk followed.

"What's the matter, you can't get rid of me, tell you, last year's finals were the one who made Curry's defense worse than death, and we could win the championship." Shambaught had a wicked smile on his face, he was a little carried away. In fact, he was a functional player at best in the finals last year, and it was true that he had something to do to defend Curry, but it was up to him to prevent Curry, which was what he thought too much.

Roy didn't talk nonsense with him, since he couldn't fight a fast attack, he chose to play a position.

Vujacic dribbled the ball across half the pitch and Roy was already reaching for it.

"Oh, Roy wants to single Iman Shambaugh, and it seems that his fighting spirit today is really much stronger than in the preseason." Brin was the first to spot Roy's intentions, and he was pleased with the rookie's handling of his first two goals, and he was certainly happy to give him his compliment.

"It's a good thing that Roy took the initiative to ask for the ball, but he didn't play too badly in pre-season, all he lacked was the ball and support. If Roy is given more penalties, I don't think his performance will necessarily lose to Anthony. Of course, Shambaugh has always been a great player for one-on-one defense, and now it's time to test Roy's true offensive ability. ”

Vujacic certainly wouldn't turn down Roy's offer, and Roy and Shambaugh immediately formed one-on-one.

Seeing this scene, the four teammates of Vujacic, Holiday , Porzingis and Hernangomez consciously pulled to the weak side to leave room for Roy to play singles.

"Chimney head, did you just keep this hairstyle just to add a few more centimeters to yourself during the physical test?" Roy spoke, and Roy, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.

Roy speaks, and there is generally only one situation, and that is that he is going to attack.

The usual trash talk to open the way, the usual distraction tactics.

The stupid Shambaught was fooled, and after a little hesitation, Roy had already raised his hands.

"It's naïve." Shambaught leaped to his feet, and although his reflexes were half a beat slower, his excellent bounce and explosiveness made up for the time gap.

At this point, he was already high in the air, and he was really a player with great physical conditions.

"It's naïve."

Before he could finish speaking, Roy dribbled past Shambaugh.

"Walk!" Shambaught shouted in mid-air, but the referee said nothing.

It turned out that Roy didn't jump at all just now, and he raised his hands on his tiptoes with a realistic feint to lift the shampoo into the air.

Or a one-step shot inside Roy's most practiced three-point line, or hollow into the net, 14:22.

"You're the Curry who strangled with this kind of defense?" Roy wasn't idle after scoring, and one of his trash words almost choked Shambaugh.

"O, you see, Roy scored in front of Shambaugh. It seems that our Tanhualang seems to have regained his scoring feeling today, he has scored 6 points in a row, if you compare it with his preseason average of 8.2 points per game, he really ushered in a big explosion today, what do you think, Walter? ”

Brin, who was sitting in the studio, saw Roy playing so brilliantly and continued to send his praise, and now he was probably going to be impressed by Roy.

The question was lost to Frazier, who answered a little more professionally.

"Mike, if I want to say, maybe it was the change of coach Hornacek that activated Roy, and it is clear from Roy's on-court performance that he is more suitable for attacking with the ball, and he needs to drive the offensive rhythm through his dribbling. And he also needs a group of teammates who can cooperate with him, and if you think about it this way, then the current on-court lineup is indeed more suitable for his performance. ”

Fraser's analysis is right, Roy with the ball is like a fish in water, and he seems to have turned back into the omnipotent MVP of Chino Gang High School.

After the ball just now, he and four teammates high-fived one by one, these three Europeans and one American, these four selfless players are what he wants.

This is basketball, the five people on the court do their jobs and work hard for a unified goal, this is basketball, and the pursuit of victory is the true meaning of basketball.

That's right, the pursuit of victory is the true meaning of basketball, and James over there also believes in this philosophy, and he didn't say much about Shampot's frivolous defense just now, and he can still tolerate it.

But Roy's performance undoubtedly piqued his fighting spirit, and he felt as if he was gambling with the rookie rookie.

With less than three minutes left in the first quarter, James waved his hand and rejected Tyronn Lue's plan to replace him. He didn't mean to rest at all, he still chose to play singles for the next ball, bulldozer-like back singles, so that the thin Holiday was helpless at all, James turned around, he turned around with the ball fiercely, and Holiday was squeezed behind him by his strong body.

"James is going to shoot, oh no, somebody's coming in for it, it's Roy No. 1. When did Roy appear there? Wow, he jumped so high, he actually slapped the ball off James's hand, oh no, the referee's whistle blew, a foul? Am I right, is this really a foul? ”

Foul? Roy, who heard the whistle, almost didn't jump, he couldn't imagine that the referee actually blew his own foul, the ball just now was obviously James's carelessness, it was James who didn't predict Roy's speed and bounce, Roy was very sure that he was a clean block, such as a fake block.

The Knicks' bench was also in an uproar, and the Knicks players who jumped up just now held their heads in their hands and looked at the referee with disbelief on their faces, did they really foul?

The slow-motion motion on the big screen clearly shows that the ball only touched James's fingers a little, and according to NBA standards, this ball usually does not whistle.

Only Anthony was unmoved, he didn't even stand up.

He knew very well that Roy was encountering the "superstar whistle" and the "rookie whistle".

What are "superstar whistles" and "rookie whistles"? As the name suggests, the "superstar whistle" is the special care given by those referees to the top superstars in the league, some ambiguous, adjudicable or not-for-award fouls, if it happens to superstars such as James, Harden, Curry, it is bound to be a foul.

The "rookie whistle" is just the opposite, it is a kind of "special care" for the first and second grade rookies by the referees, it may be that they want to kill the rookie's spirit, or it may be a kind of discrimination against the rookie by the referees, in short, no matter how good the rookie, in the first two years of entering the league, he will definitely not be able to escape the trouble of fouling.

And when Roy, a rookie, meets a superstar like James, the result is no suspense.

James relied on free throws to score two more points, and he also scored six points in a row.

However, although he scored points, James still had lingering palpitations about Roy's sudden appearance just now, and Roy's super speed, explosiveness and bounce made James remember it vividly.

In the next offense, Roy once again showed his excellent physical ability, continuous body dribble, quick change of direction breakthrough, connected a beautiful pull-up jump shot, a few moves, and compared to Shambaugh, who has excellent physical material.

Roy has scored 8 points in a row, his performance is definitely not as mediocre as described by the media before the game, James can see that Roy is not simple, at least his offense is not simple.

Interesting, he's a very interesting rookie, James is getting more and more interested in Roy, and after he assists Richard Jefferson for 2 points, James makes a decision.

When he was retreating, James went out of his way to find Roy.

"Hey, rookie, the next ball, let me defend you, don't back down, let me try your strength."

James confronted Roy!

Just seconds later, Roy received the ball, and the defender who appeared in front of him turned out to be LeBron James, the first man in the league.

At this point, Brin and Fraser were excited, the bench was excited, and the whole audience was excited.

James personally came to deal with Roy, this picture probably no one thought before the game, the last time James took a rookie so seriously, it was back in 2008, when he dealt with Derrick Rose, who is now sitting on the Knicks bench.

"Come on, let me see what you're capable of, rookie."

In the cheers of the audience, James has opened his arms, which are two "steel arms" full of muscles, his eyes are like swords, and a breathtaking defensive pressure is rushing towards him.

This is the momentum of the first person in the league, Roy can know how good James's defense is without "scouting tools", and he has an almost perverted body to support him, so that James is invincible when defending.

At this time, the sane Roy told himself that he couldn't fight hard, but another competitive Roy was instigating him to challenge the imperial power and challenge the "little emperor" LeBron James.

Make no mistake! This is LeBron James, and if you can beat him, you can become the top scorer in the league.

The golden apple was so close that even Adam and Eve were powerless to resist it, and how could mortals resist its temptation.

The moment the basketball landed, Roy made up his mind that he was going to challenge the league's first man - LeBron James!
