Jefferson wanted to stand up and continue arguing with Roy,
Kidd and Frank glared at Jefferson at the same time.
At least he hadn't lost his mind and had a falling out with the whole team.
Now Jefferson had a glimmer of hope that the Rockets could beat the Nets hard.
It wasn't that he wanted the team to lose, but he wanted to see the Nets being beaten up on the court, so that he could show his value on the court.
When the time came, these people would come to the bench in disgrace and ask him to help save the team.
Sitting on the bench, Jefferson fantasized about this result, and felt more and more that his behavior was right.
Even the anger he had just felt was much better.
After three years in the Nets, he was suppressed by Kidd and Martin.
After gradually maturing, the team traded Martin away this year.
Jefferson was very happy, because the young wife was finally going to become a mother-in-law.
He became the second child from the third child.
Bah, the second in command!
As Kidd gradually gets older, his position as the boss is just around the corner.
Man proposes, God disposes. The airborne Carter directly makes him return to three years ago.
Roy's outstanding performance has brought him a strong sense of crisis.
It's not that Jefferson is too sensitive. The facts are obvious now. For the team, Jefferson is less and less the focus of the offense.
Now the team needs him to play the role of the defensive gate on the wing and the 3D player on the outside.
For the current Nets, there is no need for so many ball handlers.
There is only one ball on the basketball court, which is not enough for three people. Four ball-holding gestures will inevitably affect the team's normal offense. Someone must make sacrifices.
Just like Ray Allen and Wade, from having the ball to not having the ball, everyone wants to hold the ball, then the team will become chaotic and without a backbone.
The timeout ended and the game continued.
Ronnie Buford, who had a poor performance in the previous game, replaced Jefferson.
Due to Carter's injury, he had to start training with the team these two days, although he was thought to be in retirement.
Fortunately, the training effect was good and his condition gradually recovered.
His main defense target was Jim Jackson, so there would not be too much pressure.
The burden of keeping a close eye on McGrady was given to McGinnis.
The kid looked at Roy uneasily. He seemed very nervous about defending McGrady, who was at the level of the scoring champion.
"Hey, little guy, are you going to defend me? Don't be nervous. It doesn't matter who defends me." McGrady on the opposite side smiled and teased McGinnis.
McInnis looked at Roy, and Roy gave him a reassuring look.
Kidd stopped dribbling in the half court, scanned the surroundings, and passed the ball to Roy who was asking for the ball at the waist position.
Now there is one less attacker on the court, and the offense must revolve around Roy.
Roy took the ball and faced Juwan Howard, one of the five tigers of Michigan.
The first billion-dollar player in the history of the league, Howard's explosive performance in the contract year averaged 22+8 and was selected to the third team and the All-Star team, which also made the Wizards willingly hand over a billion-dollar contract.
After signing the contract, the Wizards were locked in by this guy. Howard, who got a big contract, went from bad to worse, and the Wizards became a laughing stock for countless people.
Juwan Howard's name will always be remembered in the history of the NBA.
Countless people envy him. You know, it was a billion-dollar contract in 1996.
Since then, many players have continued Howard's path, holding back a big explosion in the contract year and signing a big contract.
At this time, Howard is old and entering the end of his career.
If he were 10 years younger, he could play inside and outside, and had a mid-range shot, which would be quite suitable for the current Rockets.
Of course, the Rockets might be fooled and would definitely be pitted.
Roy's fake moves in the face-to-frame offense did not fool the experienced Howard, but after the transition to a breakthrough, the veteran became unable to do it.
People get old first, and his legs get old first, and he is not a good defensive player.
It was easy for Roy to pass him. He squeezed Howard in two steps and made a small hook shot before Yao Min made up for the defense.
Howard has a good temper. He has seen a lot of things in his past ten years.
He picked up the ball and passed it to McGrady in the distance.
After McGrady dribbled across half court, he did not choose to attack. He passed the ball to Yao Min under the basket.
Yao Min once again turned on the "Boxing King" mode and made an accurate jump shot with his back to the basket.
"Tyson, you have to stand up! Don't let him score easily!" Coach Frank was really worried today. These guys in the team are all worrying!
Don't be fooled by Chandler's fierce appearance. In fact, he is a black-bellied man who looks like a macho man.
"Do you think I'm stupid? If I could defend him, do you think I would be the second pick?"
Looking back nowIt seems that the No. 1 pick of that year can't be defended, because the No. 1 pick in the same year as Tyson Chandler is the famous Kwame Brown.
The most famous fake No. 1 pick in history directly nailed the Black Jesus Michael Dunk to the pillar of shame.
Looking back, Roy scored 2 points on Howard again.
The head coach of the opposing Rockets, Van Gundy, was as worried as Coach Frank.
He shouted loudly for the players to help Howard with proper defense. He could still see that the veteran Howard had tried his best. Without the defense, Roy would have won!
Both teams have flaws and loopholes, and there is no solution.
You can't defend Roy, and I can't defend McGrady and Yao Min.
The gap in personnel ability cannot be made up by any number of tactics.
In the entire second quarter, Jefferson only played for three minutes.
The team and the Rockets played back and forth, and it seemed that it was the same with or without him. The score difference was not widened, and there was even a slight lead.
At the end of the half, 49 to 45, the Nets led into the second half.
Jefferson is now in a dilemma.
This is unscientific. In the time without me, the team was not only not beaten, but also took the lead.
And in the time I was there, the team fell behind. According to this statement, doesn't it mean that the team has become better without me?
Then I sat on the bench for a whole quarter in vain!
Jefferson was in a daze during the entire halftime break.
In the third quarter, Coach Frank still had no intention of re-activating Jefferson.
He planned to teach this guy a lesson.
You know, the hard-earned lead was achieved by the players on the court.
After the third quarter began,
The Rockets relied on the strong performance of Yao and McGrady to firmly grasp the initiative of the game.
The Nets relied on Roy's support, Kidd's assists, and Chandler's frontcourt rebounds to barely support the team from collapsing.
75 to 80, the Rockets overtook by 5 points.
Throughout the third quarter, Jefferson was firmly pressed on the bench by the coach.
At least at this moment, Jefferson clearly realized that the earth would still turn without anyone.
The score was always close, which made Van Gundy a little anxious.
Especially from the end of the second quarter to the third quarter, the opponent's main scorer Richard Jefferson was sitting on the bench.
This made him wonder if the Nets were holding back a big move.
Because Jefferson was neither injured nor committed too many fouls. He just suddenly substituted and never played again.
He didn't understand what the opposing coach Frank was up to.
In the Nets rest area, Frank was arranging tactics. Except for the substitutes, no one paid attention to Jefferson sitting next to him from beginning to end.
This time he finally didn't have to worry about becoming a marginal person, because he was now a transparent person!
Seeing that Frank still had no intention of letting him play in the fourth quarter, Jefferson was completely panicked.
No, coach, I didn't say I didn't want to play. At most, I can't shoot.
Sitting on the bench in such an awkward manner, Jefferson felt very uncomfortable.
It's better to admit his mistake and play well.
The fourth child is the fourth child. The fourth child is also good.
In the distant eastern country, the fourth child of Ivory Mountain is famous all over the world, especially his soul street dance can be called a contemporary legend.
How arrogant he was at the beginning, how embarrassed he is now.
Jefferson made up his mind and stood up: "Coach, let me play in the fourth quarter."
Everyone looked at Jefferson, and then lowered their heads to listen to the coach's tactics.
"I was wrong, I apologize to everyone, I shouldn't be so narrow-minded, I apologize for my behavior, coach, let me play in the fourth quarter!"
Coach Frank raised the corner of his mouth slightly, let you dare not disobey the command next time!
"Roy, I lost my mind in the first quarter. In fact, all the goals you gave me were assists, but I was blinded by hatred and only saw the moments when you didn't give me the ball. I'm sorry!"
Jefferson was very humble. Roy couldn't keep a straight face after saying this. He reached out and patted Jefferson's shoulder, shaking his head to show that he didn't mind.
Kid took the initiative to embrace his younger brother:
"Richard, in the fourth quarter, you have to keep a close eye on McGrady. Don't let him shoot like this anymore!"
