Roy is a player that Edison values very much. It can be said that in the Magic team, besides Howard, Roy is the player that Edison values the most.
There are two reasons here. First: Edison hopes to find a leader for the team.
Although Nash is the team's current leader and was honored as the regular season MVP last season, he is not a good leader because he cannot guarantee scoring at critical moments. The same is true for Howard, although he can only sell in the future
In 15 games, he averaged 2011 numbers per game, but he couldn't make the final decision at the critical moment, and he might even be cut.
But Roy is different. He can play with the ball, and he can shoot suddenly and pass. He is very comprehensive. And he has a big heart, so you can safely let him perform any winning mission.
Moreover, this guy is a natural leader and can control the situation. In the Trail Blazers, he only spent half a season to clean up the messy locker room and let other players isolate Randolph. This is
This kind of leadership ability is rare in NBA history, at least when James first entered the league, he couldn't do it.[
Second: It is out of consideration for the team's tactical lineup and the future development trend of the league.
There are five positions on the basketball court, but the status of the five positions in NBA history is not balanced. Although there has been Jordan in the past 20 years and Kobe Bryant in the past 10 years, the shooting guard position is generally in the history of NBA.
In the long history, he is still a soy sauce character.
In fact, now we suddenly find that with the improvement of players' physical fitness, the improvement of point guards' scoring ability, and the diversification of small forward skills, the living space of pure shooting guards has been compressed to a historical low.
Some people may think that I am alarmist, but the actual situation is really like this. If you don't believe me, you can think about who the top shooting guards in the league are. Basically, they are just those few people.
Although Kobe is carrying the Lakers forward alone this season and constantly setting various records, breaking other people's records itself shows that his career has reached the end and is about to enter a period of game-by-game. Wade's performance last year
Shen Yong won the championship, but this year his condition declined and his playing time dropped sharply. Even he admitted that his condition was much worse than a few years ago.
Apart from these two people, the only one who can make a move is Harden. Let’s not talk about the gap between Big Beard’s ability and the previous two, because this answer may be too poor based on personal preference.
Turtle. But when it comes to his status in the league, I believe any normal person would think that Harden is still far from the top.
Besides Harden, the only ones I can think of are Joe Johnson, Jr. Smith and the like, and such players are destined not to be superstar-level players.
Other than that, there are only Carter, Ray Allen, Ginobili and other characters who will be swept into the corner of memory.
If the decline of centers is due to the evolution of league rules, then shooting guards are completely crowded out by other positions.
Because these newly emerged point guards not only have excellent passing ability, but also have super offensive ability. They are no longer traditional passers, but trendy "combo guards". To be more precise, offensive point guards.
.And this trend is becoming more and more popular, so much so that people now define whether a point guard is good or not by looking at his offensive power. Therefore, players like Rondo who pass the ball well but have a weak attack are often criticized.
Criticism is really a wonder of the world. I am afraid that Stockton would be criticized today for his lack of offensive ability. Offensive scoring should originally be the job of the shooting guard. The point guard seizes the ball and shares the offensive burden, and the shooting guard loses
The combat effectiveness that they should have, coupled with the small forward trend caused by James Durant, young players are all going to play swingman. The advantages of height and strength make small forwards more and more popular, but pure shooting guards are becoming more and more popular.
There are fewer and fewer of them, and those classics from the past are becoming increasingly difficult to find.
So in a sense, shooting guards are not even as good as centers. Although everyone says that centers are declining, if we look carefully, we can still find Howard, Bynum, Chandler, Noah, and Gasol.
Although he cannot be said to be a top player, he is a player who is firmly in the first line. And more importantly, the managers of 30 teams draft each year will still choose big men if possible. So although there has never been a player who can be like
Rookies who dominate the league like the four major centers, but the center position always gives people limited hope every year.
But shooting guards do not have this privilege. The mainstream of current drafts, in addition to big men inside, are point guards. Starting with Paul and Deron in 2005, and later Rondo, Rose, Westbrook, Wall, and Irving,
This group of young point guards quickly set off a youth storm, leaving people overwhelmed.
The highest draft picks among shooting guards are Harden and Beal's No. 3 picks.
And Roy happens to be at the point where shooting guards are declining.
If Roy had not retired due to injury in history, he would have played a guiding role between Kobe and later Harden and others. In this way, the league's shooting guards can look more inherited and orderly.
Those who dream of entering n
Young people will also imitate, leaving more fire for the future of this position.
At the beginning of the game, Nash and Paul went back and forth, leading the team to score a lot of points respectively, but Nash's freshness soon passed. He began to consciously hand the ball to Roy - Magic
Another starting point for the team's attack.
It is different from that. The player guarding Roy is Desmond Mason, a jumping man with a strong body and the dunk champion in 2001. But he also has the most common problem of NBA jumping men, the nutrition obtained from eating.
It's all muscle, no brain.
His defense relies entirely on his superior physical fitness, and he has no awareness of positioning at all. He just sticks up to cover people, and then looks for opportunities to make gambling-style steals.[
And Roy is a person who is very good at passing people. After the opening test, he quickly discovered the defensive characteristics of this player, so he began to change his playing style. He no longer competed with him in high jump, but used
Make a fake move to shake.
Although Roy's fake moves are not as good as Crawford's, which can dazzle people away from the north, south, east, west, and west, they have many shoulder movements and are very skillful in pulling the ball and changing hands.
Every time he swung first, Mason didn't move, then lurched, and Mason took a step forward. Then Roy made a fake move of thrusting, then turned around, and Mason flew out.
After Roy used the same moves and the same process to trick Mason twice, the guy couldn't bear it anymore. In fact, Mason has never been a good-tempered player. In his career, he had many disputes and conflicts with others.
The scene can be said to be a subject that can be set on fire.
So when Roy once again used the same action to pass him and go to the basket, Mason lost his mind. He opened his arms and hugged Roy down.
Objectively speaking, this action is not dangerous in any way, but it is an intentional foul, and unlike the action of directly cutting off the hand, hugging someone is very malicious.
As a figure who can become the leader of the locker room, Roy naturally has the biggest thing in common with these people, which is that they have a bad temper. They may not be as good as provoking others, but once others provoke them, they will definitely not be able to tolerate it and will definitely be the first to do so.
Time strikes back.
When Roy saw Mason hugging him like this, he pushed him away. Mason didn't expect that Roy would dare to do this. After all, the first-year rookies on the side were all very timid. Mason, who felt that he had lost face, immediately rushed to him again.
Come up and prepare to teach Roy a lesson.
At this time, other players on both sides also rushed over. Of course, everyone's purpose was different. Veterans such as Brand and P.J. Brown came to separate the crowd and did not want anything to happen; Howard, West and others did not
They didn't want to do anything, but they knew they had to support their teammates at this time; Nash wanted to take the opportunity to see if he could attack anyone, and he was ready to stir up trouble.
Although many people say how elegant Nash is, in fact this guy is also a very active guy in fighting.
Of course, it was impossible for the referee to let the two sides really fight. They rushed into the field immediately, separated the crowd, and then gave Roy and Mason a T each.
When Edison and Scott saw that the situation was not good, they quickly replaced the two people involved for the purpose of protection.
But the Magic made a matchup substitution, Roy came off, Hardaway came on. But the Hornets couldn't do it. They had too few available players. After thinking about it, Scott finally had to replace Spity Clark.
Stone, a point guard shorter than Paul.
After this substitution, the deadlock between the two teams was quickly broken. Pence became the most solutionable offensive point for the Magic, whether it was Paul or Spiti whose height gap was too big.
So by the end of the first quarter, the Magic led by 6 points, 26-20.
