Chapter 232: A Mysterious Power from the East

"Roy, guess what big thing I did before the game?"

"Big deal? Aren't you supposed to be preparing for the live stream before the game? ”

The two people on the phone at this time are Roy and Abby, and the post-game phone call is now a regular program for the two.

"No, no, no, I did a big thing today, I had a poll on the New York Knicks' website an hour before the game."

"Vote? Vote about what? ”

"On the question of 'Are you in favor of the team trading Anthony?' , this title is just that. ”

"Wait, Abby, you mean you opened a vote for Knicks fans to choose whether or not to trade Anthony?" Roy, who was lying on the couch, sat up at the news, but his eyes hadn't taken off his iPad yet, and he was reading the comments of the media and fans.

"yes, I'm a genius to think of a way to protest against Anthony."

"Abby, are you kidding that Knicks fans will express their opposition to their team's star on the team's official website? Is there anyone still on the team's official website this year? Who will watch this vote? ”

"Don't tell me, I thought there would only be a few thousand fans voting, but guess how many people voted in the end?"

"How much? More than 10,000? More than 20,000? Roy doesn't believe how many people will respond to Abby's call, not to mention how many people will go to that boring official website, take 10,000 steps back and say that Anthony is still Anthony, and he will not be reduced to being demolished by New York fans.

But Abby's surprised voice came from the other end of the phone.

"You underestimate the Knicks fans, the total number of voters is more than 1.5 million, 1.5 million, it's only been more than 3 hours, and it's more than 1.5 million votes, and you know what? More than 90% of fans have opted to trade Anthony, which means that Roy has a lot of hope to be the new core of the team. ”

"Really?" Hearing this staggering number, Roy was also shocked, "So many people? Do Knicks fans often visit this website? ”

"No, that's the most amazing part, usually Knicks fans play Twitter and Facebook at most, so this broken official website won't have so many people paying attention. But yesterday the Knicks' official website was visited in a flash, and I also tweeted @Your Owner Dolan and President Phil Jackson in the hope that they will see the vote......"

"Oh, Abby, Abby, I think I might have found the answer to the source of the 1.5 million votes you said."

Roy was talking to Abby when his hand flipping his iPad suddenly stopped.

Baidu Roy Bar:

Title: Pay attention, there is a vote on the Knicks official website, in order to get rid of Anthony's cancer, everyone go and vote!

Title: Hurry up and spread this voting address, it's time to show the power of our Chinese fans.

Title: Luo Bar Goes on the Expedition, Not a Foot of Grass Grows (Expulsion of Anthony Summoning Order).

Oh my God, Roy finally discovered the source of that huge number of votes, Tieba, Hupu, Tencent Sports, Sina Sports, almost all domestic basketball forums spread this voting address on the Knicks' official website before the game.

Horror, the power of Chinese fans is too strong......

The power of the Chinese fans was so strong that Roy barely slept that night, and his mind was full of all kinds of comments from the fans. Everyone's opinions are strange, but they basically focus on a few points: get rid of Anthony, correct Roy, make the playoffs, and win the championship......

This mysterious force from the East not only changed Dolan's decision-making, but also changed Roy's mind, before that, Roy was still playing his own small calculations: in order to win the best sixth man trophy, in order to get an extra high-level spin reward, Roy originally planned to propose to Hornacek to simply let himself play a few more games as a substitute, anyway, playing as a substitute will not affect his performance too much, and he can still win a reward, why not?

However, Roy changed his mind after seeing the unwavering support of Chinese fans online and the grievances of Chinese fans about playing as a substitute. In order to live up to the fans who support him, and in order not to hurt those "Romys", Roy decided to go all out to play well in his rookie season, whether it is a substitute or a main team, he will do his best to fight for every opportunity to show himself.

Speaking of performance, the Knicks' next opponent is the Boston Celtics, a veteran NBA powerhouse nicknamed the "Green Army" who has won more than 17 NBA championships, the most in NBA history. At the same time, it has a very deep fan base in China.

Before the game between the New York Knicks and the Boston Celtics, the online fan battle was the first to start, and of course, this is also the traditional culture of domestic fans. Even Yao Ming, the "national treasure star" of the year, has not been hacked in China, and the main force of "Yao Hei" is the "die-hard fans" of other teams and other stars. If Yao Ming is like this, then Roy will be even more immune, and as Roy's performance improves, those who support him and those who oppose him are immediately distinguished.

"Romy's" point of view is that it is incumbent on him to support the domestic superstar, while "Romy" said that those who became Knicks fans in order to support Roy were pseudo-fans, and the supporters of both sides exploded at a moment's notice, and they even made a bet on whether Roy could lead the team to defeat the Celtics.

Returning to the Celtics, the veteran powerhouse who disbanded the Big Three of Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen in 2013, everyone thought the "Green Army" would enter a long period of rebuilding. But unexpectedly, after only one season, the Celtics returned to the playoffs incrediblely.

It took only two seasons for the Celtics to complete a rebuild, and last season they finished fifth in the East by just one win-loss reason. And what's even more terrifying is that after signing Al Horford this year, the Celtics have formed a strong lineup with Isaiah Thomas, Al Horford as the core, and Avery Bradley, Jae Crowder, Marcus Smart, Kelly Olynyk and other giants as supporters, and they definitely have a chance to challenge the Cleveland Cavaliers this season.

A key figure in the Boston Celtics' rapid rise and rebuild was their general manager, Danny Ainge. The 2008 league general manager of the year once formed the Big Three of Garnett, Pierce and Allen against public opinion, but he did not hesitate to break up the Meritorious Big Three, and it can be said that every decision he made was full of controversy, but all of them were successful.

It was he who traded chips in exchange for the Big Three, either in pieces or piecemeal, that brought the team back to the playoffs after just one year. It can be said that Anji has created a miracle.

But just because he traded the Celtics' draft pick from the Nets to the Knicks led Roy to New York.

While it seemed the right decision at the time, the Celtics had eight draft picks and it wasn't a draft year (Roy was still in the second round at the time), so it was better to trade them away than pick a bunch of players they didn't need. But as Roy's performance in physical testing, training camp, and the regular season got better and better, Celtics fans began to sigh.

Blame Angie for having eyes but no beads? No, if it's really to blame, it's the Celtics scouts, and it was Henderson, the scout who was responsible for scouting Roy, who misled Angie and made him trade the draft pick to the Knicks before the rookie joint tryout and draft conference.

Angie originally wanted to be quite beautiful, not only to get the two draft picks of the "bad team" Knicks in 2017, but also to avoid the salary share of the salary by selecting a bunch of unused players this year.

As a result, Roy slapped all the scouts and general managers who looked down on him in the face during the joint tryout, and later in the NBA official game, he went on a rampage, and now he is the undisputed No. 1 on the rookie list.

"That's fate." Angie often comforts herself with this.

"That's fate." Jaylen Brown also likes to put this sentence on his lips, thinking that it was because of the heavy defeat to Roy that his draft ranking fell all the way, but it was because of Roy that he joined the Boston Celtics as he wished.

Today, the mighty Boston Celtics will take on the New York Knicks at TD's North Shore Garden Arena, and these two old powerhouses in the East will have a tough match.

And Danny Ainge and Jaylen Brown will also face a battle for their names.

If the Boston Celtics can win at home today, and the team can suppress Roy's play, then the outside world's doubts about Danny Ainge and Jaylen Brown will inevitably be greatly reduced, and on the contrary, it will make the two even more embarrassed.

However, before the start of this game, Angie was the first to receive a call from his old friend Phil Jackson. Jackson on the other end of the phone informed that Carmelo Anthony, the core player of the Anginx team, had been put on the trade table, and that the great Celtics were interested in the All-Star. In order to form a new triumvirate of Isaiah Thomas, Al Horford and Carmelo Anthony?

After listening to Jackson's trade proposal, Angie almost didn't vomit blood.

Still want to trick me? Who knows that Anthony is a "big tumor", the Big Three? Just kidding, it's good that Anthony doesn't corrupt the team. "Zen Master" You still want to throw the player you don't want to throw to me? Roy's mistake has already caused him deep criticism, and I don't want Anthony to be a cheat.

Don't say it's Anthony, unless it's a James, Irving, Wall level player, don't come to me to trade in the future......
