NBA: Fusion of two talents to dominate the entire league

As for the Heat, they were limited by their teammates.

O'Neal scored a game-high 39 points and 15 rebounds, but made 2 turnovers in the final moments.

On the one hand, Roy and his teammates worked together to defend.

On the other hand, O'Neal is really old. He attacked too hard in the first half, and his physical fitness had problems in the last few minutes.

Wade contributed 23 points and 9 assists in the whole game, and also made 7 turnovers, especially the fatal turnover in the final moments.

Without teammates to share the pressure of holding the ball with him, even Jordan, who is 5 cm shorter, could not organize offense and defense at the same time.

At the same time, this game also exposed his mid-range shooting.

When the opponent restricts your inside line and shrinks the defense so that you can't break through, how can you save the team without mid-range shooting?

Post-match interview,

"Roy, you don't look like a rookie playing in the NBA on your first day. Congratulations on your team's victory against the violent sharks."

Roy wiped his sweat with a towel while answering reporters' questions,

"I think this is a very important victory. It is very helpful to beat such a team to boost our confidence. You know, the season has just started, and we need a good start to cope with such a long season."

The reporter was obviously not satisfied with Roy's official reply and asked a more pointed question,

"Before the game, many people thought that you were just making waves in the small puddle in college. Under the intense confrontation of the NBA, you became a big fool who can shoot mid-range shots. Do you agree with them?"

Roy took a deep look at the reporter and be careful next time he meets this reporter,

"I want to say that I want to thank these people. It is you who belittled me again and again that gave me the motivation to get to where I am now.

Prove to everyone who has looked down on me that they are wrong.

The opinions of those people cannot hurt me because I know I have the ability and strength to play in this league. !"

This time, Roy slapped the faces of those who were pessimistic.

His strength left the media speechless. Roy seemed to have no bottleneck and played his role naturally.

Only McGinnis knew how much Roy sacrificed. He gave up holding the ball and had almost no decent open opportunities throughout the game.

But Roy was still able to influence the trend of the entire game through defense and secondary offense.

The reporter also interviewed the Heat players who lost the first game. Wade, a sophomore, spoke highly of Roy:

"He doesn't look like a rookie at all. He played very professionally and maturely. He played very well tonight, but what I want to say is that we will be back and will win from here next time!"

O'Neal, the center of the Heat, obviously calmed down, but he seemed to be upset about not winning the first game after joining the Heat.

"We had a good chance in the first half of the fourth quarter, and they beat us in the last 5 minutes.

At the last moment, I might have been "good boy". "Song for the baby to go to sleep" He made me unable to concentrate,

But I want to tell that kid, I will remember him. Next time, I will wait for him at home and give him an unforgettable road trip!"

...

The team rushed to Chicago after a day of rest.

In sunny Chicago, Roy even ran to the bronze statue of Michael Jordan outside the Bulls home court to check in.

"Hey, you are Roy, right? Did you regret not joining the Bulls?"

Obviously a fan recognized him and was eager to know why Roy did not stay with the Bulls.

Roy motioned for the other party to take a photo for him. His cousin knew that he was coming to the Bulls home court and specifically asked Roy to take the photo.

"Thank you for taking the photo for me, but that trade was not my personal choice. The trade between the Bulls and the Nets was discussed in advance.

Man, there is no way to regret the choice of life. Chicago is full of vitality now, isn't it great?"

The fan nodded, but still said:

"I am your fan and even more of a Bulls fan. I believe that if Chicago had you, it would definitely be better than it is now!"

Roy only I can smile to the fans.

The current Chicago Bulls have just completed the succession of the old and the new.

Scott Pippen retired last year with the last glory of the Bulls Empire.

The remaining Chicago Young Guards are full of vigor and vitality, but that's all.

Because all of them are missing a leader.

Hinrich is good, Ben Gordon is good, Luol Deng is good, but they are just role players.

At best, he is just a star player, not even an All-Star. Without a leader, it is difficult for a team to rise.

Back in the hall, Roy and his teammates are happy.warming up together,

Luol Deng and Ben Gordon, not far away, stared at Roy. If eyes could kill, Roy should be pierced by thousands of arrows at this moment.

Enemies are particularly jealous when they meet. Ben Gordon even thinks that Roy stole his pick.

In the manager's office not far away, the Bulls manager looked at Roy warming up on the court thoughtfully.

After fighting the real shark and the small shark, Tyson Chandler had a hard time.

This was his first time back in Chicago after a few months, facing his old club.

He felt mixed emotions.

The Bulls actually gave up on him for the stupid fat guy under the basket.

It was almost a shame for Chandler.

The game started, and the starting players of both teams were:

Nets: Kidd, Carter, Jefferson, Roy, Chandler

Bulls: Hinrich, Ben Gordon, Luol Deng, Nocioni, Eddy Curry

Chandler got the ball effortlessly in the midfield jump ball.

In addition to his body shape, the small shark Eddy Curry was similar to O'Neal in strength. There is a world of difference.

Kidd dribbled across half court, and Hinrich, who was defending him, followed him all the way.

Carter came out from the baseline to receive the ball.

The Bulls could not let the first-year rookie Ben Gordon, who was 1.91 meters tall, face Carter.

He would be crushed by Carter in terms of weight, size and height.

Facing Carter was the Argentine forward Nocioni.

The Argentine team of this era was extremely strong. They shined in this year's Olympics, defeated the Dream Team VI and won the Olympic gold medal.

All the players in the team were in their prime, including the Pampas Eagle Ginobili. The inside line had many stars such as Diamond Scola, Nocioni, Delfino, etc.

Carter passed the ball to Roy.

The opponent of Roy was his old acquaintance Luol Deng.

Luol Deng had a bitter face. It was really that the clumsy Eddy Curry could not match up with Roy, so he had to arrange himself.

I couldn't beat him in college. Will there be changes now?

Change, there is no such thing! Roy knew too well how to match up against Luol Deng, a familiar opponent.

He dribbled the ball step by step to the basket, avoiding the harassment of Ben Gordon and Hinrich, turned and jumped on one foot, with his arm, eyes and basket forming a straight line.

Luol Deng had no choice but to pray because of the huge backward angle.

The basketball flew over Luol Deng's head easily and fell into the basket.

He understood Nowitzki's one-legged stand and became more and more proficient.

This era's Nowitzki has not developed this move yet, and it may become Roy's patent in the future.

It is difficult to interfere and saves effort, but the effect is surprisingly good, especially in large and small situations, the hit rate is scary.

The Bulls players did not blame Luol Deng. It was only the second game. Who would blame a rookie?

What? The opponent is also a rookie? So what? My good baby, just try your best!

Luol Deng walked silently to the sideline to serve the ball to Hinrich.

The nightmare of college was about to begin again.

At this time, Luol Deng thought it over. Since he couldn't beat him, he didn't care. He would get used to it!

Eddy Curry, the little shark of the Bulls, asked for the ball under the basket. His strength was obviously stronger than Chandler, and his low-post skills were not bad, otherwise he would not be called the little shark.

It was his weight, strength, and low-post skills that allowed him to kill out of the inside line.

His defensive enthusiasm was almost zero. With a height of 2.13 meters, he only had 5.2 rebounds in his career. You would say that this guy had no defense at all.

He could survive in the NBA by relying on his offensive ability. Unfortunately, he couldn't even control his body shape in the later period. He slowly lost his power on the offensive end, and he was eliminated from the league.

At this time, Eddy Curry was still in his peak state, relying on his back to squeeze Chandler away.

Chandler felt a familiar sense of powerlessness. He had just experienced this feeling two days ago.

Still want to force me? That's impossible!

People were pushed aside, but Eddy Curry didn't have the explosiveness of O'Neal.

His hook shot was slapped out of bounds by Roy who rushed over!

"Sh ...The bench players of Renhe scored points crazily,

Contributed 33 points, 15 rebounds and 8 assists in the whole game,

Chandler, who returned to Chicago, scored 18 points and 16 rebounds,

The two teamed up to rob the Bulls' inside line,

The Bulls manager watched from beginning to end and sat dejectedly on the chair. Originally, these two people were from the Bulls,

I thought Eddy Curry didn't need other inside players,

Where is Eddy Curry? He looked up the data, 2 of 13, contributing an amazing 9 points and 3 rebounds.

I, for this? Give up an All-Star seedling and their own main center?

After the game, a reporter interviewed the Bulls manager. When asked about his opinion on Roy, he said with a lonely face:

"I had a chance at that time, and then there was no later."
