Chapter 239
Fagan opened his mouth wide, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he held back as he looked at the direction Roy was going.
He didn't know if his agent who let the players do whatever they wanted was a qualified agent,
He didn't know if he would regret it in the future,
When he saw Roy's firm eyes, he didn't know how to speak at that moment,
This might be what young people are like, full of vigor and confidence,
At the same time, he had to admit that Roy was definitely a genius, a genius that transcended the times,
Now he could only hope that he could create a miracle,
And all he could do was believe in him unconditionally!
In the Nets locker room,
Everyone is resting,
Head coach Frank is waiting for Roy to come back and arrange tactics for the second half of the game,
To be honest, the young coach Frank has reached the end of his rope,
So far, the Nets have only so many people left,
A good cook cannot cook without rice,
The game between the two sides has entered the fifth game, and there are no secrets between the two teams,
The remaining games are about details, willpower, and on-the-spot performance.
And those combined are called hard power,
The lack of Kidd has an impact on the Nets in all aspects,
Kidd is not only a scoring point, but also the overall organization and defense of the team.
Veteran Kidd sat in a wheelchair in a daze, looking very depressed. Is the most promising year going to be ruined in his home court like this?
Roy walked into the locker room, and everyone was silent.
The head coach picked up the tactical board, thought about it, and put it down again. There was really nothing to draw.
Sitting in his locker, Roy looked around and spoke.
"Coach, I know you have tried your best. You have thought of all the ways you should think of. The rest can only rely on our own performance. But I just thought of a way in the corridor and wanted to discuss it with you and everyone else."
Everyone looked at Roy, their eyes full of questions, and more doubts.
"I don't think we should follow the rhythm of the Spurs. My idea is to slow down the rhythm, use our bodies to grind and consume the opponent, and use our personal abilities to slowly wear out the opponent."
Frank thought Roy was going to say something. Isn't this kind of iron-blooded consumption the same style of play as the Pistons last season?
He doesn't think this style of play can beat the current Spurs team.
"Roy, your idea is good, but we don't have enough manpower. What we need most is physical strength. We have too few people and can't outlast them."
Frank shook his head and disagreed with this view.
"No, we can fight! And this is the only chance to win!"
"Why?" Carter beside him asked puzzledly.
"Because there are only two quarters left in the game, and because we are younger!" Kidd answered Carter, and his eyes became brighter as he spoke.
Coach Frank suddenly realized that he had been limiting himself to a certain area and ignored that everyone in his team, except Kidd, was under 30 years old.
They were all young and strong guys, while Bowen was 33 years old, Horry was 35 years old, and Barry on the bench was also 33 years old.
Relying on youth and vitality is definitely more promising than the current style of play.
Besides, Roy knew that the Pistons lost to the Spurs in the previous life purely because of the gap in the ability of the stars.
Even if the Pistons were given a player of similar level to Ginobili,
the Spurs would definitely not be able to win that series!
The current Nets do not have this problem. Both Roy and Carter have proven themselves throughout the playoffs.
In the locker room, everyone was silent, but there seemed to be light in their eyes again.
Roy stood up and looked around at his teammates and said:
"What do you think? Do you dare to fight with the Spurs with me? Let the people in San Antonio also taste the taste of defeat, and let them know that if they want to win the championship, they have to step over our bodies, otherwise it's just a dream!"
The teammates stood up one by one and formed a circle spontaneously.
They stretched out their arms and put their palms together. Even the injured Kidd struggled and stood up on one foot.
With the help of his teammates, he walked into the circle and put his hand in.
"One, two, three! Kill the Spurs! One, two, three, the championship must belong to New Jersey!"
Frank looked at his disciples with light in their eyes, and he felt indescribably relieved.
Roy's plan is very feasible, but it requires strong execution.
Seeing the excited spirits of the players, he felt that the Nets were evolving upward again.
Good team atmosphere and chemistryThe reaction made Frank truly feel that he was now qualified to challenge the Spurs.
…
Returning to the court from the player tunnel, the players who were spiritually baptized in the locker room were in high spirits.
After a few minutes of preparation, the Nets returned to the court with a brand new lineup,
Vince Carter, Lagabel, Richard Jefferson, Chuck McGinnis, Roy,
The Nets' new starting lineup, since they decided to win by defense and hard power singles,
then Arroyo, who has defensive flaws, can only sit on the bench.
The Spurs still replaced all the starting players.
Looking at the Nets' strange lineup, Popovich was a little dazed.
He didn't understand why the opponent would arrange the troops like this.
Popovich thought about it and then laughed. He felt that the Nets had run out of tricks.
After running out of tricks, they tried to use Carter as a point guard.
Popovich knew Carter too well.
He did have a certain assist ability, but it was limited to breaking through and passing the ball. For that kind of organization of offense,
it was definitely not what he was good at.
Kidd's injury was the fatal blow given to the opponent by the Spurs.
The Nets without Kidd was like a broken spine, with no coordination and control between hands and feet.
The Nets used Carter as a substitute, which was definitely a desperate attempt. The young Frank was really too young.
Popovich's mouth corners slightly raised, and the Spurs' chance to end the game was right in front of them!
…
The third quarter started with the cheers of the fans.
The Nets had the ball, and Carter dribbled the ball quickly through the half court.
Without Arroyo, Carter became the only ball holder on the Nets’ perimeter.
He passed the ball to Roy, who went out to the three-point line to get the ball.
Roy said that he would definitely win the game, but when he really got on the court,
he was under a lot of pressure. Fortunately, Roy was not afraid of losing and wanted to win.
What he pursued was a hard work. Roy, who refused to admit defeat, would do his best.
He had already figured it out during the halftime break. If he wanted to win this series, he had to make changes.
According to the usual style of play, it was difficult to pose a threat to the Spurs.
Especially when the team was still short of teammates,
Roy made a decision in secret. He planned to release that style of play in advance,
Let fans all over the world feel the shock from the future!
