After Roy caught the ball, he slammed the ball together with a relaxed smile on his face, and then assumed a triple threat pose.
Martin lowered his center of gravity, assumed a standard defensive posture, and concentrated on preparing to meet the opponent's attack.
He took this duel very seriously.
After all, this is related to his future position and playing time with the Rockets.
Martin even prepared for the worst - if he couldn't beat Roy who had just returned from injury today, he might as well apply for a trade and switch to another team.
After all, the Rockets' wings include superstar McGrady, potential rising star George, defensive stalwart Tony Allen, 3D-type Sean Battier and Danny Green.
A wide variety and complete types.
Martin is positioned as a scorer in chaotic battles, suitable for adding firepower to the team in the transition period of the game.
But the emergence of Roy directly made Kevin Martin's existence dispensable.
To put it simply, a healthy Yellow Mamba is a fully upgraded and stable version of Martin. The two are not players of the same level at all.
Because of this, Martin decided to give it a try.
If Roy could be defeated in a direct conversation today...
Martin believes that head coach Mark Jackson will give him more opportunities!
Just when Martin was immersed in his beautiful fantasy, Roy moved!
He was keenly aware of the opponent's distraction, so without any hesitation, he directly chose to speed up the breakthrough.
Martin woke up from a dream and quickly moved sideways, but it was too late.
Roy was like stepping on a spring, instantly ejecting a long distance, leaving him behind.
"bang!"
Another powerful one-handed dunk. This was Roy's fifth consecutive slam dunk since he came off the court!
"It's not okay to lose focus during the game!"
Lowry yelled from the sidelines.
He had been angry for a while because of Martin's words before, but he didn't know how to get angry.
It happened that in this round just now, Lowry witnessed Martin's distraction at close range, and then he helped Roy with some trash talk.
Roy shook his head and said nothing more.
Martin gritted his teeth.
"What's so great about taking advantage of others when they are unprepared?"
His voice was neither loud nor quiet, and both Roy and the players closer to the field heard it.
"You've been playing in the NBA for so many years, do you have this little awareness?"
Roy no longer indulged Martin and opened his mouth to reply.
"you!"
Martin wanted to refute, but after opening his mouth for a long time, no words came out.
What he said just now was indeed a bit childish. It was nonsense spoken by someone from above, and it made no sense at all.
"Come again!"
Martin passed the ball to Roy, then stood down and concentrated on defense.
After receiving the ball, Huang Mamba still assumed a standard triple threat posture.
His basic skills are very solid, and every move seems to be carved out according to the textbook template.
"despair!"
Roy first made a test move, and Martin responded by moving in small steps.
"despair!"
Another test step, this time Roy's stride was wider, as if he was really going to break through with the ball.
Martin still moved in small steps, but this time he was obviously a little panicked.
"despair!"
Roy took his third tentative step.
This time, Martin subconsciously thought it was a fake move, so he stayed where he was, unmoved.
However, after taking the test step this time, Roy did not retract his right foot. Instead, he pulled his center of gravity back, then leaned forward, and took advantage of the situation to hit the ball to break through.
[Finished...]
Martin secretly thought something was wrong, because at this time Roy's shoulders were already level with his waist.
This means that Martin needs to turn around to catch up with his opponent.
But when masters fight each other, the distance of half a body is almost equal to an insurmountable gap.
Martin was a little desperate, but he was not ready to give up.
After all, he is already one goal behind. If Roy scores another goal, he will directly get the match point.
So, Martin gritted his steel teeth, turned his hips desperately, and at the same time linked his steps to rush towards the opponent.
To his surprise, Roy's step was not as fast as he expected.
After turning around, Martin was not thrown away, and the two of them were still level.
[Very good!]
Martin was overjoyed and pursued the defense even harder.
But the next moment... Roy changed his tactics!
I saw his right hand suddenly pull back from the crotch, and at the same time, his left hand leaned against Martin's waist, exerting a slight force.
"呲~"
The friction sound of sneakers and wooden floor was sharp and harsh, which shows how powerful Roy's emergency stop was!
Martin's eyes widened with anger, staring at his opponent who was standing still.
At this moment, he wanted to stop retreating, but his body no longer ignored the commands sent by his brain.
Martin staggered back, watching Roy getting further and further away from him, but there was nothing he could do.
"This action is a perfect replica of Jordan's 'theshot'."
McGrady came to the sidelines to watch the game at some point, and couldn't help but comment at this moment.
In the end, Martin completely lost his center of gravity and sat down on the ground.
Roy glanced at him indifferently, then took a deep breath and finished the shot slowly.
The basketball left his fingertips and spun at high speed, drawing a beautiful arc in the air...
"Shua~"
Hollow into the net!
2:0!
Roy got the match point in less than a minute.
From the beginning to now, Martin hasn't even had a chance to show off the offense he's good at.
He sat on the ground blankly for a few seconds, and then he suddenly jumped up and shouted: "Foul! Your assistant pushed me and I fell. It's a proper offensive foul!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present could not help but be stunned for a moment.
One thing to say is that Roy's left hand did make a forceful movement just now, but the amplitude was not large, and it was far from the level of a foul.
But now we are not in a regular competition, and there are no professional referees.
When Martin shouted, everyone didn't know how to react, so they turned their attention to the head coach - Mark Jackson.
Mark Jackson was also a little overwhelmed.
Fortunately, just when he was hesitating to make a decision, Roy said: "Okay, I'll count it as a foul, you can serve."
Mark Jackson then nodded and agreed: "You can discuss it yourself."
Kevin Martin walked to the three-point line without any courtesy and threw the ball to Roy.
The score returned to 1:0.
After washing the ball, Martin started his first attack.
Roy didn't dare to neglect him. No matter what the opponent said, he was still a scorer averaging more than 20 points per game. He definitely had two skills!
After Martin got the ball, he also assumed a triple threat posture.
After a few simple experiments, he suddenly looked towards the basket and made a shooting motion at the same time.
Roy understood Martin's shooting ability and took a step forward, ready to interfere.
Who knows, this is just a fake shot.
When Martin saw the opponent's center of gravity moving forward, he immediately dropped the ball and rushed inside with a cross step.
In a one-on-one duel, there is no insider to help defend, so Martin already has an empty basket in front of him!
I saw him take three steps and go straight to the basket.
Just when Martin jumped up and was about to complete the final finish, a figure suddenly appeared and enveloped him!
