Chapter 315: Roy's Confidence

Roy only used seven points of force?

Hearing this, Peyton Jr. immediately exploded, his eyes widened angrily, his teeth were clenched, and he put on a defensive stance, "Congratulations Roy, you have forced out the strongest defense of the Peyton family."

The Payton family's strongest defense?

Roy doesn't know what the Peyton's strongest defense is, he only knows that Gary Payton's defense is really good, but that has to do with your little Payton? This kid's self-esteem is really strong.

Anyway, no matter who told the truth and who told the lie between Roy and Payton Jr., the current situation on the court is that Payton Jr. really can't prevent Roy. In terms of height and arm span, he was already a big step behind Roy, even if he included his abrupt explosive head, it was difficult to compare with Roy's outstanding physical condition. In terms of physical fitness, he is even less than the "Asian miracle" Roy, although Payton Jr. is also known for his excellent physical fitness, and was even named "Xiao Weishao" by fans, but when defending Roy, he found that he always seemed to be a little worse.

It's always a little bit worse, the pace will always be a step slower, the turn will always be a little late, the cap will always be a little worse, and the confrontation will always be weaker, and the difference of this bit by bit will constitute a scene of a comprehensive rout, which is the crushing of physical talent, there is no reason to talk about, and there is no need to be reasonable.

Physical fitness is the greatest advantage and the most valuable asset given by God to every player. Some people may always envy the good physical condition of others, some people may always sneer at the guys who play with their bodies, and some people may always lament that God has not given them excellent talents.

But God is fair, and some people have the talent to defy the sky but end up becoming mortals, such as Yao Ming's teammate Stromeyer Swift, who has an infinite body but has always done nothing because the ball quotient is too low. And some people have become a generation of superstars in the NBA with hard work despite their mediocre physical fitness, such as John Stockton, assistant coach of the Knicks, is the biggest inspirational story for ordinary people.

And those who can put their talent and hard work to the extreme, can undoubtedly become NBA superstars, and before that, Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James have all been successful, and Roy may be the next superstar.

If Roy's current physical fitness is compared to LeBron James, who just debuted in 2003, then Payton Jr. is at best Jamal Tinsley, who entered the league in 2001 (Payton Jr. is two years older than Roy) (a point guard who averaged 8.5 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 6.1 assists per game in his career), and the difference in strength between the two is very obvious.

Under the ravages of Roy's fierce attack, Payton Jr. gradually died down, he closed his mouth, and the disparity in strength made him no longer as confident and domineering as he was when he first came on the court.

However, although Payton Jr.'s mouth has weakened, his defense has not slackened in the slightest. No matter how embarrassed Roy beats himself up, and Roy keeps himself clean over and over again, Peyton Jr. is really like his father said "never give up". He will always grit his teeth and chase Roy, even if he knows that he can't cover the basketball and won't let you score easily, he will always do everything possible to consume Roy's physical strength with physical contact, he will always take close defense, and stick his greasy "fried hair" to Roy's face, which makes Roy nauseous.

"Elfried (Payton's) fighting spirit is really strong, if other players faced such a tough Roy, I'm afraid they would have surrendered a long time ago, and Elfried has been doing his best to defend Roy until now, we can clearly feel the spirit of not admitting defeat that he exudes."

"Payton is a really interesting player, uh, and I don't just mean his hairstyle. His shooting is terrible, and his free throws are even worse, but he is always so daring to make moves, and he was just given a hot pot hat by Roy on the previous offense, but this time he came at Roy again. Whoever wants to play with such a desperate player for a night will be unbearable, well, I know very well (referring to the fact that I didn't want to die when I played). ”

"Walter, speaking of which, there are fewer and fewer of these 'mad dogs' in the league these days. Back in the '90s, a defensive sleek like Payton was a must-have weapon for every team. It's a pity that almost no one wants to do this kind of hard work except for the love of data brushing nowadays, and I think Payton may become a very good role player in the future. ”

"Mike, do you think Payton is a good fit for the Knicks again? According to my calculations, the players you fancy are almost two teams, hahahahaha. ”

Is Payton a good fit for the Knicks? Roy, who is in the opposite position with him, must have the most say.

Roy and Payton faced each other for nearly ten minutes, and although he didn't feel that Payton had much ability beyond ordinary players, his strong fighting spirit and mental ability left a deep impression on Roy.

As long as you don't knock Peyton Jr. down, he'll fight you to the end, and it seems like that's really the case.

If Roy teased Peyton Jr. at the beginning was a bit of fun, then after the fight, Roy really didn't want to entangle with him anymore. It's not because Roy can't beat Peyton Jr., but he feels tired, Peyton Jr. has hardly stopped in the past ten minutes of the game, his physical strength seems to be endless, he seems to be Xiao Qiang who can't be beaten (the hairstyle is quite similar) is desperately consuming Roy. And Roy's every time he uses all his strength to pass is actually a great drain on physical strength, and the passing method taught to Roy by Derek Ross has a certain amount of wear and tear on the body, so for the sake of insurance, Roy simply didn't force Peyton Jr. later.

Being able to use his tenacity to change the opponent's style of play is a disguised victory for Payton Jr.?

At the break, Roy seemed to figure out a lot of reason: Why would Phil Jackson take a fancy to a player like Payton Jr.? In fact, the presence of a player of his type is really necessary. A team, if everyone is a scorer, it is not necessarily a good thing, a mature team needs both a scorer who attacks the city, a playmaker who controls the overall situation, an interior pillar who sits under the basket, and a super blue-collar and ace killer like Payton Jr., if Payton Jr. is asked to stalk top guards like Irving, Wall, and Curry, the picture is unimaginable.

You have to let other people feel what it's like to be rubbed on the face by the "fried hair", right?

……

"Abby, you don't know, that Peyton is so funny."

At dinner, Roy and Abby reviewed the game that had just ended, and the game ended with a 106-95 victory for the Knicks, Roy played 30 minutes, scored 18 points, 8 rebounds and 10 assists, and was one step away from the goal of a triple-double, but Roy didn't care, his interest was attracted by Payton Jr., who had a lot of slots.

"This guy's hairstyle is so weird, I don't even know what words to use to describe it. And, you know what, Abby, when that greasy hair rubs against my face, I really feel like I'm going to vomit on the spot, do you think that kind of defense can count as a technical foul? ”

Roy was still coloring Peyton's strange hairstyle and defensive moves, and Abby over there was already laughing miserably, she tried her best to stop her laughter, but she couldn't do anything, and finally even squeezed out tears.

"Hahaha...... Gauze...... Roy, don't talk about it, I'm ...... I saw them all today...... Hahaha, you know what? Large-screen playback ...... Peyton puts his hair on your nose...... When the nose is hahahahahaha......"

Abby laughed miserably again, she was talking about the scene when Payton Jr. lowered his head to break through Roy's defense, got into Roy's arms, and inserted his full head of "hair" directly into Roy's nostrils.

Roy looked at Abby who was lying on the table with a smile, and also dug his nostrils in a hurry, and said: "Abby, you're right, now I finally know why Payton has such a strange hairstyle, in the NBA, you can still use hair to open the way, it seems that I have to play with my hairstyle." ”

"Alright...... Roy...... Other...... Don't talk about it, I want to ...... I'm going to laugh and smoke ......."

Looking at Abby leaning forward and leaning back, an indescribable sense of happiness arose, Roy wanted to make Abby laugh a few more words, but Abby suddenly blocked Roy's mouth with his fingers.

"Alright, Roy, let's stop making trouble, now we're going to get down to business."

"Serious? Haven't we been getting down to business? I don't know when it started, Roy also learned to be poor.

"No, I mean really serious business, you know it's Christmas in three days."

"Oh, I know, don't worry, I already bought the gift."

"That's not what I meant." Although she knew that Roy did it on purpose, Abby glared at Roy mischievously.

"And what do you mean?" Roy smirked, and he was immediately attacked by Abby's eyeballs.

"Don't you know what Christmas means to the NBA?" Abby blinked, looking quite serious.

"Isn't Christmas a holiday? But I can't rest, and this year the team is going to play the Christmas game. ”

"It's not a holiday and a Christmas war, you think again."

"Well, I think about it, when I'm in the country, everybody goes out to party on Christmas, do you mean that?"

"Of course not."

Looking at Abby's mischievous eyes, Roy shook his head, "I can't guess." ”

"Stupid, Christmas is the day the All-Star Game voting begins, don't you care about your All-Star vote?"

"I see." Roy deliberately made an exaggerated expression, "Honey, are you still worried that I won't make it to the All-Star Game?" ”

"Hmph, Roy, you're too confident, don't you know that in the 70 years since the NBA developed, there are only 30 players who can be selected for the All-Star Game in their rookie season, and almost all of them are Hall of Fame-level bigwigs."

"So you mean I can be a Hall of Famer too?" Roy had a wicked smile on his face, but he had the capital to be confident, and he knew that with his fan base, being selected as an All-Star should be a sure thing.

"Are you that confident?" Abby also had a wicked smile on her face.

"I'm willing to bet that as long as the fans' brains aren't short-circuited, their internet cables aren't cut, their phones aren't falling into the ditch at the same time, or no aliens have hijacked them en masse, then I'm 100 percent in the All-Star starting lineup, whatever, or shall we take a bet?" Of course, Roy has the confidence to say this, and the fan resources behind him are the eyes of any top NBA star, but Abby still laughs evilly, which makes Roy seem to see that something is wrong.

"What's wrong? Abby, am I wrong? ”

"No, Roy, how could you be wrong, you're a Hall of Fame player. However, I would like to remind you that this year's All-Star Game is not just for fans to vote, but also for the media and players. Abby raised her eyebrows, and the meaning couldn't be clearer, come and beg me, I'm a media person.

"You mean this year's All-Star starters aren't fan-picked anymore?"

"Of course, this year's All-Star starters will be voted on by fans, media and players, with 50 percent of the fan vote and 25 percent each of the media and players, and now you know what that means?"

"I know that means the players who are jealous of me are definitely not going to give me a high vote." The clever Roy immediately got Abby's meaning, and this time Abby smiled contentedly.

"So why don't you hurry up and curry favor with me, our website also has voting rights."

"Alright, alright, Miss Hornacek, please support me."

"Hahaha." Abby laughed as she heard a message from her phone, "Ah, Roy, help me see if it's past 0:00?" ”

"Yes, that's right."

"Big event, big event, the all-star candidate list is out."

As soon as Abby's voice fell, the room suddenly fell silent, Roy and Abby focused their attention on Abby's mobile phone at the same time, and sure enough, there was an email called "2017 NBA All-Star Shortlist" lying in Abby's mailbox......
