The training was going on in an orderly manner.
After two days, everyone started to get familiar with each other.
Roy really liked the atmosphere of the Nets. Even if he didn't like the other team, he would still cooperate with each other during training.
The only one who was a little awkward was Kostic. After the group confrontation started,
Head coach Lawrence Frank specially arranged him to play against Roy.
Rookie coach Lawrence Frank is a young coach. In terms of age, he is only 3 years older than Jason Kidd.
Last season, since Byron Scott left, he was appointed to stabilize the team's performance.
Many teams joked that Fran Ke is Kidd's assistant coach.
Although he usually listens to some of Kidd's suggestions, he is actually a very thoughtful coach.
Today he specially arranged a group competition, the main purpose is to find out how strong Roy is.
Roy's training and various game videos have been watched countless times.
He is now eager to know whether the rookie that the team spent a lot of money on is worth it.
You know, Kenyon Martin was an All-Star power forward last season.
Whether Roy can fill the gap after Martin left is a big question mark in his mind.
The intensity of the college league and the NBA is not at the same level at all.
Many newcomers who were powerful in college are mediocre under the defense of the NBA.
The Kostic he specially selected has played for a season and is a real sophomore player.
He has fully integrated into the rhythm of the NBA. He is capable but not too strong. If he loses to Kostic, it will not hit Roy's self-confidence.
Frank divided the confrontation into two groups:
Red team: Kidd, Buford, McGinnis, Roy, Collins
Blue team: Best, Carter, Jefferson, Kostic, Tyson Chandler
The confrontation started soon, and Chantler easily flicked the ball over Collins' head.
"Rookie, NBA and college are completely two different dimensions of competition!"
Krstic squeezed Roy's defense and ran to the top line to make a pick-and-roll for Carter.
Carter did not cut into the inside as Roy thought, but made a three-point jump shot outside Roy's interference range.
"College boy, welcome to the NBA!"
Carter ran back with a smile, and his teammates around him grinned.
Tease the rookie is one of the entertainment activities for NBA veterans at the beginning of each season.
McInnis looked at Roy with a bitter face.
The ball just now was the one he was defending against, Carter.
Roy patted him on the shoulder as he passed by.
"That's Vince Carter. Just try to defend him. Don't think too much."
McInnis nodded, and went to pick up the ball again, and passed the baseline ball to Kidd.
Kidd passed the ball across half court and held it near the three-point line. Collins instinctively pulled to the three-point line to screen for Kidd.
Roy keenly noticed the defensive gap caused by Chantler being taken away.
Quickly responded from the baseline at a 45-degree angle, and while Kostic was stunned, he suddenly ran back to the basket.
Kidd's eyes lit up, and a master-level pass went around Chandler's back secretly, hitting the ground and flying into Roy's hands under the basket, and he dunked successfully.
Roy had never experienced an offense where the ball led the players. Kidd's passing ability was beyond Roy's imagination.
"Good job, young man. Keep it up. As long as you can run out of space, I will definitely pass to your position."
Kidd was also very happy. At least this rookie's off-ball awareness was not worse than Kenyon Martin.
Kostic, who missed the defense, felt a little uncomfortable. He boasted in front of the rookie, and responded with a dunk in a blink of an eye.
Kostic continued to help Carter with pick-and-roll.
This time, Roy did not retreat after the pick-and-roll to prevent the breakthrough, but went up and switched defense with McGinnis.
The three-point line dribbled the ball for Carter:
"Rookie, I will pass you in two steps and then dunk at the basket!"
"I don't believe it, because no one has ever succeeded in doing it!" Roy opened his arms and shook his head.
He encountered this situation countless times in college. Every outside player who tried to break through, Roy would block him and tell him not to do it next time!
Carter dribbled the ball and took two steps back. Roy did not take the initiative to compress his movement space.
Carter has a certain three-point ability, but not Curry's abnormal accuracy that covers half the court. It is enough to step on the three-point line.
And Roy intends to try to see if he can cope with the attack of a guard of Carter's level.
College guards are usually thinner and lighter, so it is still easier for him to defend each time.
Carter doesn't understand why Roy doesn't come up to stick to him, but he won'tShow mercy,
In his eyes, being taught a lesson by his teammates is better than being taught a lesson by the opposing players in the game.
Carter accelerated his dribbling and hit Roy's chest like a strong calf accelerating.
Roy's blood rushed up and his breathing paused.
Based on this impact, if it was a few months ago, he should have run over him directly and rushed to the basket for a dunk.
Fortunately, Roy has not stopped training in the past few months, and his strength and confrontation ability have increased significantly.
He groaned and unloaded Carter's impact. His footsteps were close to Carter, and his arms were open, ready to interfere with his shot at any time.
Carter did not expect that this rookie could withstand his impact and keep up with his footsteps.
Dunking has become impossible. He dribbled backwards, suddenly moved forward and changed direction to confuse Roy's judgment, and then stepped back and faded away.
Although the action has been done to perfection , but Carter still underestimated Roy's static talent.
When Carter had already opened up the shooting space, Roy still relied on his super long arms to make up for the defense.
The arm interfered with Carter's shooting action.
"Ding" the basketball hit the basket with a heavy sound.
Collins got in position, took the rebound, and threw it to Kidd.
Kid fast-break, a figure in a red vest had already rushed to the opponent's three-point line.
He passed the ball from a long distance, and Roy dunked with one hand after receiving the ball and scored another goal.
At the same time, Kostic, who was defending Roy, had just run across half the court.
Everyone on the Nets team opened their mouths wide. Roy's talent exceeded their imagination.
Everyone had a question in their hearts, "Isn't this kind of athletic talent the top pick?"
Coach Frank took a pen and took notes quickly not far away.
He was so excited that his scalp was numb. Who is Kenyon Martin? I don't know him. I only have Roy in my heart!
This speed, this cut, this defense, write it down, write it down first,
Scout Dom came over: "Coach, don't write it down."
He took out 5 thick notebooks and placed them in front of Frank,
Frank took out a book filled with notes about Roy,
Looked at Dom and nodded,
Then the two were attracted by the group competition,
Roy perfectly interpreted what omnipotence is,
With Kidd's conscious assists, mid-range shots, three-pointers, back-to-the-basket, and even assists,
All were demonstrated,
Why he can lead USC to win the championship this year,
Why he can win Nike's $100 million rookie contract, the highest in history, without participating in the draft,
What is it based on? Strength and potential!
The manager's office on the second floor is facing the training ground,
Nets manager Droshon clenched his fists excitedly.
…
The training match ended quickly, and teammates gathered around him.
Some people who didn’t like Roy changed their minds quickly.
NBA is so realistic, and strength is the only standard for others to respect you.
During the chat, the topic that everyone was most interested in was how this billionaire Roy spent his summer vacation.
Roy simply showed off his bulging biceps: "This is my summer!"
