Chapter 221: The Great General is coming back

After the game, everyone was sweating profusely, but they couldn't hold back their laughter. They were indeed full of confidence www.biquge.info this game, but they didn't expect that they could really win against a strong opponent and take a 3-1 lead in the big score to get the match point in this series.

When the final whistle blew, Trail Blazers fans were shouting and jumping in the stands as if they had won the championship. It was a game that did come thanks to them, and the off-court environment had a huge impact on the Suns, and it was only in this way that the Trail Blazers easily won their second home court. Looking at the relaxed smiling faces of the players, McMillan also smiled, but this smile was a little reluctant, and he subconsciously clutched his mobile phone tightly.

He had just received a text message with a simple content, but it made him stunned for a while, and the text message read: "I will be back for the next game." The sender column is a name that seems to have not appeared at the Rose Garden Arena for a long time, but has surrounded the team all the time, Brandon Roy. McMillan doesn't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing for the team, generally speaking, the return of the team's number one star at this time will indeed boost the team's morale, but now it seems that Roy does not need to force a comeback to lead the team to continue to play in the playoffs, and his appearance may directly break the tactical system that the team has built up in these games.

But McMillan remembered NBA legend superstar and Knicks legend Willis Reed, in the seventh game of the 1970 Finals, Reed, who was injured in Game 5 and suspended in Game 6, resolutely appeared on the court with an injured leg and scored a jump shot on Chamberlain's head for two consecutive rounds. Although he only played those few minutes, his actions inspired the Knicks' players to defeat the mighty Lakers to win the first championship in franchise history. This scene is also known as "Reed's return" by later generations.

McMillan doesn't mind the outcome of Game 5, it would be better to win, and if there is no hope that he will replace the starting line-up sooner rather than later, giving them more rest to prepare for Game 6, it will undoubtedly make more sense to end the series at home. But he was still a little hesitant about whether to let Roy play, and after thinking about it, the best thing to do was to listen to the players' opinions first. Of course, he himself is inclined to let Roy play, and the reason why he hesitates is just because he doesn't want the players to resist too much, and in his opinion, Roy's return is likely to have a positive impact on the team.

Time was tight, and McMillan didn't let Roy join the team, but let him fly to Phoenix first. There was no time for an intra-squad meeting, and McMillan pretended to be calm and announced the news to the players on the plane. Everyone was stunned, no one guessed why Roy wanted to make a comeback now, and even Ye Feng, who had always been witty, was a little confused. He doesn't know if Roy is recovering from injury now, and it doesn't matter if he's okay, but he is a little anxious to return in the playoffs. He quietly glanced at the expressions of the others, everyone had a heartfelt smile on their faces, and he nodded secretly, it seemed that everyone hoped that Roy would make a comeback, which was also human nature. While it looks like the Trail Blazers have a good chance of making it to the second round, it would undoubtedly be better to have an extra guarantee, and Roy is just that.

McMillan also saw the expressions of the players, but still said: "I will put Brandon on the court in the next game, but as a substitute, I hope he can use this game to get used to the rhythm and get back to his previous form, so that we can go a little further in this year's playoffs." If you have any other good suggestions, you can say it. ”

Everyone shook their heads, and there was nothing to say. There is nothing wrong with the head coach's arrangement, and the substitute is also a proper intention, but I don't know if Ye will welcome Brandon's comeback, after all, if he finds his form and is put on the starting lineup, Ye's ball will definitely be divided, is he really willing to do it?

Ye Feng smiled and said, "What are you doing looking at me one by one?" Do you think I'm going to object? I'm not a fool, and I have to push it out when I have the opportunity to play easily. I'd welcome Brandon back, he can make it easier for us, I don't think there's any disagreement about that, right? For me, as long as the team can win, I can not score, let alone Brandon's comeback. ”

The teammates smiled wryly, they weren't sure if Ye Feng really thought so, but since he had already put on this posture, Roy's entry was a certainty. At this time, they were all relieved, although the situation is not bad now, it is not 100% able to reach the second round, if the two cores have an awkward quarrel at this time, the Suns can sit back and reap the benefits.

McMillan was very satisfied, he knew that Ye Feng was telling the truth, and when he said this, there would be no different voices within the team. He motioned for everyone to relax and said with a smile: "In the fifth game, everyone can play as hard as they can, even if they lose, it doesn't matter." The doctor told me that some of you have had some minor injuries in these games, and while it doesn't affect the game, I hope you can go a little further. So don't be reluctant in the fifth game, try to avoid dangerous moves, we have two match points in hand, and we can wait until the sixth game to return to the home court and then eliminate the opponent. ”

Several rookies were shocked, including Ye Feng, he was taught to fight hard to win any game, when had he ever encountered such a competition that only required him to do his best? But the manager's expression doesn't look like a joke, he's serious. For McMillan, this is also a last resort, the actual situation is more serious than what he said, not to mention the young players, Uncle Huo Er, Miller Sr. and even Camby can hardly afford to play more than 30 minutes per game, let alone the playoffs where the defensive intensity is greater than the regular season. He made up his mind to let the veterans rest as much as possible, and try to get the young players on the field to work, and it was good to be able to win, even if he lost, he was ready for the sixth game.

However, he didn't plan to explain it to the players, even Ye Feng, who was now confused, he hoped that they would all think about it for themselves. A lot of the time it's not about paying attention to your own situation, and the form of your teammates also needs to be taken into account, and the right rotation can make the team go far in the long season.
