Chapter 580 The Covenant

"Coach, please believe me, I will not give him a chance to catch up with the score." Before McMillan could speak, Brandon Roy immediately spoke to McMillan, watching the fighting spirit in his eyes Unsurprisingly, how could McMillan, who was born as a player, not know the mental state of Brandon Roy.

It was nothing more than a young player seeing the dissatisfaction in another young player's heart, but looking at Brandon Roy's clear blue eyes, McMillan knew that Brandon Roy had not lost his mind because of jealousy, and this Just what he needed and wanted to see.

In his opinion, Brandon Roy was probably a religious believer since he was a child. Affected by religious thoughts, his temperament is a bit peaceful, calm and not easy to be impulsive. This kind of personality is a good thing most of the time, and it is suitable for controlling a team. The team can make the best choice no matter what time it is.

But basketball is a competitive sport after all. It also requires passion and blood, an unyielding will and a fighting spirit. A player who is too calm is not entirely a good thing. Sometimes he needs to be impulsive. He used to think that What Brandon Roy lacked a little bit now appeared in him, and he felt very relieved.

"Well, what I want to say is that while attacking, we must not forget to defend. Defense is very important. It is the first element of whether we can win this game. We failed yesterday, but we must win today , From now on, every win means that we are one step closer to the playoffs, the victory is in sight, as long as we persist for a few more minutes, the victory will be ours."

McMillan's words made the players think of yesterday's failure. It was an unforgettable pain for all the players to take the lead all the way at home and to be overthrown by the opponent in the end. Just after the past, the hatred was hard to quell, and the opportunity for revenge came again. They naturally played the game with a revenge mentality.

As for the Sonics, although yesterday's game was difficult, it had a happy ending. In retrospect, there is a sense of relaxation, and returning from the away game to the home court will make people unconsciously feel Lax mentality, so they lost to their opponents in terms of the will to compete.

After returning to the court, Brandon Roy immediately used a three-point long-range shot to help the team widen the point difference to a safe range. After Stephen assisted Durant to get a three-pointer, he also assisted Aldrie Odd scored two points.

Since Stephen came to the Sonics, they have rarely seen anyone who can keep up with Stephen in scoring for such a long time, especially when the point difference is so close, Stephen can't even overtake the score. Surprised and unexpected.

After Stephen dribbled the ball over the midfield line, facing Brandon Roy, he shook his left and right shoulders in turn and then made a jump shot. This is an offensive method that Stephen rarely uses. Stephen even used this trick Come out, proving that Brandon Roy put him under a lot of pressure.

Although Stephen can't be called an offensive master yet, the weapons in the offensive arsenal can still calm a large number of people. His body allows him to complete actions that many people cannot complete, but generally speaking, he Commonly used are just a few tricks.

, A quick three-pointer without warning from outside the three-point line, a turnaround layup or a jumper after a single play from behind, a mid-range stoppage jumper or a fadeaway jumper, these are the three most commonly used moves by Stephen. These are all offenses with the ball. Off the ball offense, that is to leave the baseline for layups, cut layups and catch and shoot.

Generally speaking, there are only a few things that go over and over again. Stephen's offensive style tends to be simple and efficient, which is extremely inconsistent with his age.

Generally speaking, many players only gradually change their offensive methods when their physical functions begin to decline or when they suffer major injuries and cannot recover to their peak. This is called maturity, and Stephen is still so early. It has become like this, which really surprised many people.

Stephen's change is due to two aspects. One is the risk of potential injuries, which makes him dare not take that risk. Fried dough sticks came out of the mix.

The Sonics lineup became Robert Horry, Durant, Szczerbiak, Stephen and Watson, but at this time McMillan instructed the players that no matter how much the Sonics went up, they would shoot three-pointers Players, they are all in disguise. At this time, Stephen is still the most threatening. Although he doesn't feel very good in this game, the focus is still to defend him.

Whether you score or not is a one-shot deal, so after the midfield serve, Stephen has been controlling the ball and wandering outside the three-point line. On the Blazers side, except for Brandon Roy's close defense against Stephen, Aldridge Kee and Webster have been walking back and forth.

Stephen waited for the game time to pass by second by second. At the same time, he also adjusted his emotions and state, observed and sized up his opponent's every move, and found flaws from it. When there were four seconds left in the game, Stephen suddenly took off. There was still a distance of one meter away from the three-point line and took off to shoot.

Carlesimo also arranged a very complete defensive tactic, but when the players returned to the field, Steve Blake sent the ball directly to Brandon Roy.

In response, I thought that I had killed the other party, but I didn’t expect that the other party had killed myself. This huge psychological contrast was unacceptable to anyone.
