The ball god walked for a long time, and Roy came back to his senses.

Brooklyn Nets? What is the origin of this team? What does it have to worry about me? Do I have an intersection with it?

Roy and the Brooklyn Nets really don't have any direct intersection, but that doesn't mean that Roy and the Nets don't have a relationship, on the contrary, they have a lot to do with each other.

That's right, the New York Knicks' pick for Roy is from the Brooklyn Nets, in other words, Roy may have been someone from the Nets.

So where does the Nets' resentment come from?

The Brooklyn Nets, a rotten team in the past two years, can be said to be the saddest team in the NBA, first, the strength of the Nets is so poor that even their own fans can't bear to look at it. Second, the Nets' sense of existence is too weak, and it is difficult for a fan to talk about the NBA, saying the words "Brooklyn" and "Nets". Third, even though the Nets have been so rotten to the ground, it still shows no signs of rising, on the contrary, it seems to continue to sink.

The Nets have a long way to go, and the biggest problem with their rebuilding is that they don't have their own first-round picks! Not only are they not in their hands for this year's first-round picks, but they are also not in their hands for the first round picks the year after. In order to get the aging Garnett, Pierce and Terry, the general manager of the Nets, who had just changed their name that year, gave away first-round picks in 2014, 2016 and 2018.

At the time, it was called a gamble, and the Russian owner of the Nets, Mikhail Prokhorov, was burdened by paying the luxury tax and frantically formed a super team led by Deron Williams, Joe Johnson, Paul Pearce, Kevin Garnett, Brooke López, Jason Terry, and Andrei Kirilenko, but the result of the gamble was a complete failure.

So, now he has to pay for the impulse of the time.

Missing Roy is a pain for the Nets, and missing Roy, who belongs to them, hurts even more. The Nets' new general manager, Sean Marks, knows what it feels like because he's going to clean up the mess right now. He must pay off the debts of his predecessor, Billy King, who was named the worst general manager of all time.

How can this be rebuilt without draft picks? Marks had a brainstorm to get back the draft pick before the draft, and his target was Roy.

The team's strength is sparse and the popularity is sluggish, no matter what Roy's strength is, Max wants to choose this Chinese player to gamble, even if Roy's strength is average, at least it can improve the team's attention, why not?

But it's a pity that there are too few chips in his team that can be traded, and the witty Phil Jackson made an early move, using his connections and resources to move Danny Ainge (general manager of the Boston Celtics), which allowed his New York brothers to take the lead, intercept the probe lottery, and rob Roy, and now Roy's performance is so hot, it is completely a template for a superstar, you say Max is not annoyed.

After missing out on Roy, Max, who had no choice, had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and signed another Chinese star, Jeremy Lin, which was a makeshift effort.

However, it is probably the tragic experience of the Nets and Marks that moved the heavens, the new season has played 7 games, the Nets actually won 3 of them, and the results have overwhelmed the big brother of the city, the New York Knicks.

Of course, aside from the game itself, there are indeed a lot to watch in this game.

The first is the battle between the two teams in New York City, although the NBA does not have a clear statement like a derby in a football game, but just like the Los Angeles duo, the game between rivals in the same city, the attention and confrontation of fans is definitely a little greater.

Secondly, it is to see if the New York Knicks can win three in a row in Anthony's absence, you know, the last time the Knicks won three in a row occurred in the distant 2013-2014 season, if the Knicks can win three in a row in Anthony's absence, it basically declares that the team can let go of the All-Star player.

Finally, of course, the "Chinese Derby" that global fans, especially Chinese fans, are very concerned about, this is the only game between the NBA's two active Chinese players, although Jeremy Lin is an American, but this does not affect the domestic and foreign media to hype this game into a "Chinese Derby", the NBA has not had a confrontation between two yellow-skinned players on the field for too long, so even the NBA official has hyped up this game, for fear that others will not know that the NBA has taken an important step in the process of globalization.

"New York Derby", "Weak Chicken Derby", "China Derby", through the unremitting hype of the Chinese and American media, this ordinary NBA regular season has become unusual.

The ticket price of the match between the two teams was very high before the game, and the tickets for the slightly better positions even reached thousands of dollars. Moreover, even if you have money, tickets are not something you can buy if you want to, and the enthusiasm of those Chinese fans is unimaginable to ordinary people. Now, having a ticket to the Knicks-Nets game on Wednesday has become something to brag about for many New York fans, American fans, and even celebrities.

"Tickets, tickets, who has a ticket?" This is the most asked question by the players during the Knicks' practice in the past two days. Everyone needs tickets, and the Knicks only allocate 4-6 tickets to each player, which is simply not enough for those players to share with friends and family.

Fortunately, Roy doesn't have this trouble, with the net worth of Cheng Zixi's brothers and sisters, it is definitely not a problem to buy two VIP tickets, and Abby doesn't need tickets as a reporter, and his own family counts Lao Luo, Yilan, Su Dong and Bob, and four tickets are enough.

Roy gave Hernangomez the extra two tickets, causing the Spaniard to constantly praise Roy as a "good brother".

On the eve of the game, China's sports media almost poured out, and powerful media even sent a live broadcast team, this kind of formation except for the annual finals, which was only experienced when Yao Ming played against Yi Jianlian.

However, compared to the distant Yao Ming era, it is now two Chinese outside players facing off, which is even more difficult.

Proud Americans once asserted that "Chinese guards can't gain a foothold in the NBA", and now there are two Chinese-American guards who will play as the main players in the NBA's mecca Madison Square Garden Arena, is there anything more exciting?

By the way, when it comes to Roy's main game, I have to thank Anthony, who announced after the New York Knicks' victory over the Utah Jazz that he will continue to miss the next game against the Brooklyn Nets due to injury, so that Roy's starting game is no suspense.

The overwhelming media bombardment and all kinds of fan topics made Roy both excited and nervous, and after the two days of practice, many media reporters have been interviewing the Knicks players, and Roy is undoubtedly the most frequently interviewed.

'It's just a normal game and we're going to give it our all to win.' Roy doesn't know how many times he said this.

It's just a normal game.

Although Roy said dozens of times that "it was just a normal game," he was taken aback by the enthusiasm of the fans when he stepped into the Madison Square Garden arena on the evening of Nov. 9.

By the time the players from both sides warmed up, ninety percent of the spectators were already sitting in danger, waiting to watch the game. At least half of the Chinese fans in the arena occupied most of the Madison Square Garden arena holding up placards in Chinese and English.

Compared with the VIP seats that were chartered by Spike Lee in the first three games, today it is a crowded city, and a row of people is neatly seated.

Men and women, young and old, each of them dressed in a dazzling light, and their attention was not inferior to that of the players on the field. No, to be exact, after Anthony was absent, none of these guys on the field could match the fame of these film and television stars sitting in the front row.

"Hey, Roy, look, that's Taylor! Taylor, who is a fake! Oh my God! While practicing his shooting, Hernangomez suddenly shouted Roy.

"Taylor?" Roy slapped the ball and looked at Hernangomez puzzled, "Which Taylor?" Who is Taylor? ”

"I'm X, Roy, are you really not a cannibal? The Taylor I'm talking about is, of course, Taylor Swift, the queen of music, my goddess Taylor Swift. ”

"Oh, it turned out to be this Taylor." Hearing Taylor Swift's name, Roy was still a little impressed, "But Willy (Hernangomez), you have too many goddesses." ”

"No, no, no, Taylor is my real goddess, oh my God, look at it, there are some big names today, goddess Taylor, Rihanna, Leonardo, Justin Bieber, what day is it......"

Roy looked in the direction of Hernangomez, and sure enough, there was a row of handsome men and women dressed in trendy fashions on the VIP seats. Well, don't say anything else, Leonardo Roy still knows, who doesn't know who doesn't know his masterpieces, what "Titanic", "Inception" Roy still watched.

and Justin Bieber, the boy who made people vomit blood when he heard "baby, baby......

"Willy, is that sloppy one also a star?" Roy was referring to the slightly decadent uncle sitting in the middle of that group of celebrities, to say that the first row was full of beautiful women and handsome guys, this uncle was too slight.

"No, Roy, you don't know that person?" Hernangomez looked surprised.

"I really don't know."

"Well, but Mr. Dolan, the owner of our team!"
