"Pass, pass, pass."

To this day, Roy remembers the look in Derrick Rose's eyes in the final 10 seconds of the game, a look of hesitation and helplessness.

He is choosing, and he is also hesitating, just like Hornacek standing on the edge of the field, like Phil Jackson sitting in a box, everyone is choosing, and they are making difficult choices.

Rose's final choice was Anthony, and this was also Hornacek's choice, and there was no choice in the end.

When the team is faced with life and death, the person who can control the team must be the boss of the team, whether he has shot 10 of 10 or 0 of 10, he must trust him, this is the NBA's creed.

Anthony received a pass from Rose, made two dashing crossovers in front of him, and then threw the last shot of the game with 2 seconds left on the clock, which was Anthony's signature shooting action of "Melon" Anthony, elegant, soft and elegant, but he was no longer the Carmelo Anthony of the past.

"My hands shook when I made a move." This was Roy's first feeling when he was at the scene, and it was also the conclusion he came to after watching the footage.

Sure enough, the spinning basketball smashed heavily on the neck of the basket, and the audience immediately fell silent, and the Grizzly Bears jumped up and down to become the protagonists of the court, and they rushed into the arena with joy. At the end of the game, the Grizzlies went through the road 111-110.

"Smack." Roy turned off the TV, and it was 0:00 a.m.

The room was silent, and his mind was filled with Bryn's and Frazier's last-minute commentary.

"If I were Hornacek, I would have chosen to give Anthony the last chance to the final shot, and this is the NBA, and the star of the team has to step up at all times."

"Mike, I agree with some of your views, but I'm afraid this is a little unfair to Roy, who scored the highest points in the game, if it wasn't for him pulling the team back from the brink of defeat three times, Anthony wouldn't have had this chance to kill at all, but unfortunately the chance to decide the team's victory or defeat was not handed over to Roy, if I were him, I would definitely be depressed all day."

"Hey, come on, Walter, didn't you lift shoes for Willis Reed back then? Isn't this the pain that a rookie must go through to grow up? ”

"That's right, Mike, you're right. But times are evolving, the NBA is progressing, and those deep-rooted bad traditions must be changed. ”

Go to your uncle's team boss, go to your uncle's seniority.

Thinking of this, Roy slammed the remote control to the ground again.

In the game that just ended, Roy played 28 minutes and scored a career-high 18 points, plus seven rebounds, three assists and one steal.

If it weren't for the loss, if it weren't for the fact that the final kill wasn't handed to him, Roy had a spectacular performance on the night.

At this moment, he can only watch the video of the game and swipe social media to relieve his depression.

Although it was late at night, Roy was not sleepy, and he turned to fan forums and social media, where he was almost one-sided in his criticism of Hornacek's hiring and selection.

"Honacek's coaching has been a disaster, he's not as good as Mike (D'Antoni), support: 5230, against: 506."

"It's a pity for Roy, his efficiency is a proper average of 20+5+5 per game, 4967 for support, 412 against."

"Trade Anthony, trade Anthony! Pro: 3547, Against: 2569. ”

Fans are discerning people, they know how the Knicks got the final chance, if it weren't for Roy and the "bench bandits" to bite the score, then the fourth quarter might have become garbage time again.

After reading the Twitter fan complaints, and then opening the domestic "Tiger Pounce Forum", they all support Roy's remarks (this is not nonsense), but the fans here are more professional.

"Roy's on-court win/loss (a statistic that counts the number of points a player has won or lost in a team's presence) is +26, while Anthony is -27, isn't it obvious who is the team's ace?"

"Anthony is really not as good as a season, so trade him while there is still some value, Zen Master, show your courage."

"Is I ready to mess up again this season? Do you want to mess up even if you don't have draft picks for next season? It's brain-dead. ”

Looking away from the computer, Roy rubbed his eyes and shook his head again, he has been under a lot of pressure lately, if there is still a little thing around him that can decompress him, it is undoubtedly these cute fans.

By the way, we have to add a most special fan - Abby Hornacek.

The headstrong young lady is one of the few die-hard fans who always supports Roy.

It wasn't until he returned to the locker room after the game that Roy learned from Hernangomez that Abby had made another bet for himself and the fans, this time on "whether Roy can score 15 points", and the bet was still Abby's private photo.

"Hey, this wayward young lady, what if I lose?" Roy suddenly felt a little distressed for Abby at this moment, maybe it was out of a man's desire to protect, or it could be another inexplicable feeling, anyway, he didn't want those hungry wolves to succeed.

Abby is indeed not easy, she has to build a good relationship with the fans for Roy, and on the other hand, she has to face the accusations of the fans against her father, if from this point of view, she is under much more pressure than Roy.

By the way, Abby, I don't know what she said, Roy felt like picking up the phone.

Sure enough, there is Abby's message on WeChat, speaking of which this WeChat was installed last time Roy taught her, and this young lady is now obedient to Roy's words.

Roy remembers Abby talking to herself about the first time she noticed herself at the McDonald's All-American High School Star Game, when she first witnessed Roy's as an intern reporter for ABC TV.

Then, she was shocked by Roy's amazing performance, especially after Roy made an incredible "double dunk", and she did not hesitate to become a fan of Roy.

Since then, Abby has been following Roy's games, including his single-handedly battling NCAA stars at the Four Nations Invitational and his showdown with the unbeatable Ben Simmons.

"What a beautiful time you were back then, you were fearless, you dared to stand up to any strong opponent, and I look forward to you becoming the only king of the court again."

This is Abby's message to herself an hour ago, and it's exactly the same as the closing remarks of her new press release.

Abby really dares to write anything, dare to post anything.

"Thank you for your encouragement, Abby." Roy was really touched by Abby's support for herself, and it was really hard for her to have her torn between her dad, the fans, and herself.

"It's nothing, I'm a fan of yours." Abby hasn't slept yet.,Her message replied quickly.。。

"Hey, beauty, don't you sleep so late? Don't you know that going to bed early can be beautiful? Seeing Abby's news, Roy's mood improved a lot.

"Hey, aren't you too? Don't tell me you're still practicing. Although he couldn't see Abby's face, Roy could make up Abby with a wicked smile on his own.

"No, it's already practiced after the game."

"I'm guessing you've shot a lot of shots in Anthony's missed positions, right?"

"How do you know everything?"

"Because you're such a superstar who doesn't admit defeat, I've watched all the games you've played since the high school league, and if you're not happy with a skill piece of your game, you're going to try to fill that gap before the next game. Am I right? ”

"That's right, yes, what do you think I should solve in my next game?"

"As the daughter of Coach Jeff, of course I want you to follow Daddy's orders, but from a pure fan perspective, I want you to play a little bit more uniquely, like you play in high school league, you have to control the ball, you have to prove with your performance that Roy is the real boss of this team."

What a lovely young lady, Roy heard this, but also from the bottom of his heart, people often need more care and support from others when they are at a low point, just like when you write a book, even if there is only one reader to support, you will have the motivation to write. (Are you right?) ）

Hearing Abby's encouragement, Roy instantly regained his motivation.

"Thank you for the suggestion, Abby, and I'll give you a suggestion too."

"What advice?"

"Don't bet on private photos in the next game."
