Roy was replaced by the head coach with a blushing face, and the scoreboard was clearly showing 40-52, with the visitors in front and the home team behind, and the Trail Blazers trailed by only six points when the starting lineup came down at the break. Roy sees www.biquge.info further widening of the margin as his responsibility, which is of course impossible, but strictly speaking, most of the responsibility does lie on him, because he is the player with the most shots in the entire bench lineup, and the shooting percentage is not very good.

Originally, he wanted to sit back in his seat silently, but what he didn't expect at all was that every player on the field stepped forward to hug him, and the last one was Ye Feng. Looking at Ye Feng's calm eyes, Roy's gaze was a little dodgy, this is not his usual style, but today it was indeed his reason that caused the team to fall further into a disadvantage, and he felt a little sorry for the efforts of the starters, so ......

But after hugging him, Ye Feng stopped, and instead hugged Roy's shoulders tightly. His words were calm, calm enough to make people think that this game had nothing to do, and he said lightly: "It's nothing, rest well, wait to continue playing, I believe in you, we all believe in you." Brandon, you're the captain of this team, and no matter how much you've recovered now, no matter how well you're on the field, you're the cornerstone of this team. ”

After saying that, he directly staggered past Roy and walked onto the court firmly. Looking at his not strong back, Roy didn't know what he was feeling in his heart, and at this moment, he felt guilty and retreated for the first time. He sat back in his seat in silence, only to hear McMillan say next to him, "It's okay, Brandon, let's watch them perform first, I'll still give you a chance to continue to play." Roy was stunned for a moment and nodded fiercely.

While McMillan fielded the team's starting lineup, Gentry made changes to the Suns' lineup, putting Stoudemire at the No. 5 spot, then Frye at the No. 4 spot, with Nash, Richardson and Hill remaining the other three. Obviously, this is not the first time Frye has played with the starting lineup, and in this tactical system with Stoudemire inside and Richardson outside, Frye is like a fish in water, and he was the main point of attack for the Suns until the end of the first half. This is also a major feature of the Suns, although the core of the team is Nash and Stoudemire, but as long as you feel good, you can become the team's main point of attack, which has nothing to do with the status of the team, it is purely decided according to the situation on the court, and if you shoot well, you will be fed more balls.

Now I can't help but Ye Feng doesn't stand up, although Miller's strength is good, but he is old after all, after the hard battle in the first quarter, his shooting rate has shown a downward trend, and he quickly stopped and completely gave up the right to shoot to Ye Feng and Aldridge. Aldridge's straight-arm jumper finally regained his original crosshairs, which was also because Frye's defense was not very good, but Ye Feng's performance was much brighter. He simply let Miller play the offense, and he fired back-to-back shots from beyond the three-point line and shot a decent percentage from the field.

Even so, the Trail Blazers couldn't narrow the score to single digits, trailing by 10 points at halftime, 47-57. Ye Feng was a little dissatisfied with his performance, but he also knew that there was no way to do it, who let them dig a hole for themselves in the first quarter? It's good to start the second half with that difference. But now he doesn't care as much about the outcome of this game as he did at the beginning, and he wants to know if Roy has found himself.

In the locker room, McMillan clapped his hands and said, "OK, OK, everyone be quiet, I will return to the starting lineup at the beginning of the season in the second half, of course, Greg's place will be replaced by Marcus, Brandon, what do you think?" Do others have different opinions? Everyone quickly shook their heads, their idea was simple, let Roy try, if they can find a feeling, the next game can help the team through this series.

In the second half, McMillan did not break his promise, sending out a lineup that was not the strongest but the most meaningful at this stage. However, Roy and the cooperation with others are still a little rusty, after all, the team's starting lineup has been run-in without him, and they have a very good tacit understanding with each other before, and now if he is added, although everyone is familiar with it, it is undoubtedly relatively unfamiliar in the tactical system, which also requires Roy to integrate into the system as soon as possible. Of course, the other four will have to get used to Roy's presence, and if nothing else, this is the starting lineup that the Trail Blazers will put on for the vast majority of the next games.

Under Ye Feng's deliberate care, Roy's shooting rate began to improve significantly, and he also knew that he had just recovered from his injury now, and it was best not to break through with the ball, so he simply transformed into an off-ball shooter, relying on the cover of his teammates and skillful running to find opportunities outside the three-point line. But Nash stepped up on the Suns' side, shooting 2-of-2 from the field and 6-of-6 from the free-throw line in the first quarter to score 11 points to help the Suns maintain their lead. The only good news for the Trail Blazers was that Roy scored eight points on 3-of-5 shooting in the first quarter, which was already more than double his first-half score.

Although several Trail Blazers players began to show a tacit understanding with each other, they were never able to close the score, and McMillan had no choice but to remove all the starters with five minutes left in the fourth quarter, which also meant that the rest would be garbage time. However, the whole Trail Blazers team did not show a depressed look, but was very calm, which was a little strange compared to the cheers on the other side of the Suns bench. Only they knew what was causing this, and looking at the technical statistics of the players, a smile appeared on McMillan's swarthy face.

The final score was 88-100, and the 12-point gap was nothing for McMillan, with Roy's 14 points, five rebounds and three assists being the stats he was more concerned about. Looking at the players calmly packing up and lining up to board the bus, McMillan is full of confidence in the sixth game, although Roy may not be able to start, but now it looks like he has a little bit of fun, so goodbye Suns, this can only be blamed on your bad luck. Sometimes the team with the lower ranking is not necessarily the underdog, just look at the Rockets who won the championship in the 94-95 season.

12 points? Hum! I'll be back next time, so we'll see!
