Chapter 35 Confident Roy
Brandon Roy, a talented guard who once brushed shoulders with the Timberwolves, is now showing his charisma in the Portland Trail Blazers. In this season, he alone carried the burden of the team and led the team forward.

This season, Brandon Roy led the Trail Blazers to an amazing start. At the beginning of the season, he directly and strongly rushed to fourth in the Western Conference, leading the Western Conference.

Brandon Roy, who was selected as an All-Star for the first time in his career last season, has completed an important step in the transformation of an ordinary star into a superstar!
After being selected for the All-Star Game, Brandon Roy has become more aggressive than before, and his killer qualities at critical moments have become more and more fierce. Many teams in the league regard him as Kobe's successor people.

Roy's big heart allows him to stand up decisively when the game is deadlocked, and through his bloodthirsty scoring ability, he uses offense to defeat his opponent time and time again!

Moreover, what makes many people optimistic about him is that this young "Yellow Mamba" does not occupy the ball too much like Kobe Bryant. He will distribute the ball reasonably. As an excellent combo guard, He can change roles freely in terms of scoring and organization. The Blazers started their sprint journey under the leadership of such a leader with unlimited potential.

What's interesting is that the original Timberwolves had already selected the All-Star guard, but because of a wrong choice by the team management, they traded Brandon Roy to the Trail Blazers. The star player with 19 point, 1 assists and 5 rebounds was sent to the opponents in the same district.

The most fierce competition in the Western Conference this season is no longer the Southwest Division. The previous top three in Texas lost the Rockets. Stand up and lead the team into the rise. It seems that the Rockets have no hope for this season's playoffs.

On the contrary, this season's Northwest Division is strong, and many teams have shown their strength, and most of them are young and impactful teams.

Carlos Boozer and Deron Williams of the Utah Jazz formed a powerful combination, recreating the pick-and-roll tactics of Utah Shuangsha in the 90s. Their young combination, under the guidance of the old coach Sloan They have made the playoffs of the Western Conference for two consecutive seasons, and they have performed quite well in the past few years, and they are now ranked fifth in the Western Conference.

The thunder's twin stars are unstoppable, and they are beginning to show an unstoppable demon-sealed state. In addition to the team's new pick this season, James Harden, someone has already shouted the slogan of the three young men in Oklahoma City. It seems that young people can also hit the playoffs this year!

In addition to the Portland Trail Blazers and Denver Nuggets, the Timberwolves in the Northwest Division are under great pressure. If they want to fight their way out in the same division, they must be stronger!
Only by becoming stronger and grabbing more victories, the door to the playoffs will be open to them!
This game against the Trail Blazers, the Timberwolves must win!
Brandon Roy is at the home court of the former Timberwolves, and he is bound to explode, and they are also bound to win this game!
In the last matchup in the same district, the Trail Blazers underestimated the strength of the Timberwolves, which caused the team to lose the game carelessly. But in this game, they made full preparations for the Timberwolves before the game. Making the same mistake again!

As long as this game is won, the Trail Blazers' record will be on par with the Phoenix Suns, and they will be able to compete for the top three seats in the Western Conference!

As far as the Timberwolves are concerned, the current record and the Thunder's record have been tied. As long as the Timberwolves can win this game, they will be able to surpass the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Western Conference rankings and rank eighth.

For the 82 regular games in the long season, any chance to overtake the rankings is not to be missed!
Before the start of the game, the players of the two teams were warming up and training on their respective venues, trying to warm up their bodies through warm-up activities, so as to be able to play a fiery touch at the beginning.

It is now late autumn in Minnesota, and the temperature in this northern city has already made people feel the coldness of winter. Although the heating is turned on in the target center, the hands and feet of the players are still a little cold, and some proper exercise is needed to make them feel cold. Body temperature returned to normal.

At this time, Brandon Roy walked towards the Timberwolves half with a basketball. This action attracted the attention of everyone in the Timberwolves. Many reporters in the stands even pointed their cameras at the center of the field.

Roy played the basketball with both hands, looked at Li Shihao with a warm smile on his face, and said, "Bruce, your performance this season is very good. Before, even we were carelessly defeated by your hands, but this game Victory, we are bound to win! You will not have any chance!"

Although Blanton's appearance was ordinary, his demeanor remained undiminished. He was as gentle as a gentleman. After the provocative words came out of his mouth, he didn't feel the slightest malice.

Li Shihao took a deep look at Brandon Roy, and there was a hint of admiration for him in his eyes: "Branton, your record is far better than ours, and you can do this when the team is short of players. It is indeed very powerful, but this victory, we are determined, this is Minnesota, if you want to win, it depends on your strength!"

Roy snorted, and glanced at Li Shihao with a little surprise. He couldn't understand Li Shihao who just entered the league this year. This rookie has no so-called rookie wall at all.

Not to mention the mature playing style, it is undoubtedly extremely surprising to be able to combine the team's offense and defense in a short period of time and initially establish the team's system.

Facing his challenge now, this Chinese rookie can still show a strong desire to win. This rookie is not easy!
I am afraid that the victory of this game will not be won so smoothly!

Brandon Roy smiled, didn't say anything, left Li Shihao with a mysterious smile, and left the Timberwolves half. This smile made Li Shihao unable to figure out what Brandon Roy was thinking, could it be Is there any killer feature for the Blazers in this game?
It seems that this game will not be too easy!

Li Shihao looked at the direction of Brandon Roy's departure with a serious expression, not daring to be careless in his heart, no matter how difficult this game is, the victory will definitely belong to him!

The two sides jumped the ball in the middle circle. The Blazers' center Oden first jumped and easily took the basketball to his team's half court. Roy controlled the ball and organized the offense.

Facing Brandon Roy's attack, Li Shihao didn't dare to be careless. The seemingly harmless player in front of him had an extremely honest and warm smile, but no one could deny that this ordinary-looking player was at a critical moment. Lethality!

Like Li Shihao, Roy does not have outstanding physical fitness. He is a truly experienced player who plays with his brain!

Roy's dribbling is excellent, and he has a good grasp of the rhythm of changing directions and breakthroughs, often making opponents caught off guard and being broken into a sieve.His breakthrough layup and mid-range emergency stop jumper are the main scoring methods. This is a player who can shoot and pass suddenly. His threat is too great on the offensive end!

Li Shihao defended Brandon Roy closely, not daring to give him a chance to breathe, hoping to force Roy to make a mistake with such a tight defense!

Roy smiled lightly. He was obviously accustomed to facing Li Shihao's defense. There are many teams in the league that target him like this, but he can still score calmly. He has already overcome this difficulty.

For star players, if they can't maintain a fiery touch under high-intensity defense, they will fall from the altar sooner or later.

"Bruce, don't be nervous, I will use a breakthrough to solve this ball!"

Roy smiled lightly, with a calm expression that didn't seem to regard this attack as difficult at all. He told Li Shihao his scoring method early on, just to let Li Shihao understand what the strength of a star player in the West is!
The frequency of Roy's left-hand dribble suddenly slowed down, his shoulders shook suddenly, and he made a shooting posture in an instant.

Li Shihao quickly reached out to try to block the shot, but he didn't want to. Roy pulled the rhythm back in an instant, quickly broke through Li Shihao's defense with a breakthrough, entered the inside line, and faced the inside line guarded by Love and Al under the basket. A picturesque layup, hitting the basketball firmly into the basket.

A trace of caution flashed in Li Shihao's expression. Roy's condition is really getting better and better. It's unbelievable that this is only his fourth season. It's hard to imagine how strong he will be at his peak in the future Strength!

In the breakthrough just now, Roy has already mastered the rhythm very well. It can be said that it is extremely good. The realistic fake moves can pull back from the state of shooting to the rhythm of breakthrough in just one second. , His strength is unfathomable.

In the next 5 minutes, Roy either attacked personally or assisted his teammates. With every gesture, he easily connected the team together. The entire Trail Blazers performed extremely well in the opening game. The Forest team has a 5-point advantage!

After experiencing the All-Star Game, Roy seemed to be a different person. He became more confident, as if everything could not be taken seriously. This is not a kind of arrogance, but a kind of extremely powerful self-confidence. Extreme confidence in one's own strength!
This game is far from that simple!If he wants to win, he has to show more strength!

Li Shihao stretched out the back of his hand to wipe the sweat off his face, a cold light flashed in his eyes, he would not be afraid of any opponent, even if he is the god of basketball!

There is no strength or weakness on the court, only winning or losing!
