Chapter 351: Another Miracle
When it comes to competitiveness, Hornacek is not much inferior to Roy, he was known for his hard work as a player, and after becoming a manager, Hornacek's beating competitiveness shows no signs of abating, but has become stronger.
So even if he only has a remnant in the team now, so even if he only has a bunch of 56789 small cards in his hand now, he has to do his best to pinch out their power, and he has to do his best to win.
In the away game against the Dallas Mavericks, Hornacek made a decisive move, and he changed his previous stable use of troops, allowing Derrick Rose to play with Contney Lee, Darrell Arthur, Jae Crowder and Porzingis, who had just returned from injury, an offensive point guard and four outside shooters, which is definitely a desperate style of play.
The Knicks have to compete with the Mavericks, who have a tradition of running and shooting, and that's interesting.
But then again, today's Dallas Mavericks are no longer the powerful playoff regulars of the past. Cuban and veteran Dirk Nowitzki are few players who can be recognized.
Prior to playing the Knicks, they had a miserable 15-29 record and were third from bottom in the West, making them the quintessential Western Conference team.
Therefore, this should have been a great opportunity for the New York Knicks and Hornacek to get out of the trough, but it was really Huo Shuai's bad luck recently, and he didn't seize the life-saving straw sent to him.
In this game, the two old Warriors Harrison Barnes and Seth Curry (that is, Curry Jr.) played at the same time, scoring 23 and 20 points respectively, plus the "old driver" Nowitzki Tieshu blossomed and scored 19 points, and they staged a wave of offense in the fourth quarter, instantly killing the New York Knicks' hope of winning.
At 103:95, the Knicks did not dare to look up at the dazzling score on the big screen.
When the final clock rang, Hornacek looked so pale that he almost forgot to shake hands with rival coach Rick Carlisle.
How lonely, how tormented, in the frenzied celebrations of the Dallas fans, in the constant flashing lights, Hornacek faintly felt a sense of unease.
Is it over? Am I just done?
When does Hornacek end class?
The boring media are now making articles about when Hornacek will end class, and they even have a separate poll on the subject.
How long do you think Hornacek will last? A? Two? Or is there no chance at all?
Hornacek is also a tragedy, you must know that at the end of 2016, the New York Knicks were still in third place in the East with a 20-13 record, and there were claims that Huo Shuai could win this year's best coach award. Now, after a series of losses, their record has plummeted to 22-24, dropping six spots to ninth in the East. In other words, the Knicks have lost 11 of their last 13 games, a result that the owner of any team may not be able to tolerate.
With no way back and Phil Jackson's patience running to the limit, the next game for the New York Knicks at home against the Charlotte Hornets is a do-or-die affair for Hornacek.
Hornacek can't lose, he definitely can't lose.
Looking at the lonely Hornacek on TV, Roy couldn't help but worry for a while, speaking of which, Hornacek is not only his coach, his friend, but also his possible future father-in-law. As an emotional person, Roy certainly didn't want his "family" to suffer such a dilemma.
Turning off the TV, Roy came to Dr. Carter's medical room again, a familiar room, a familiar hospital bed, and now this is his daily compulsory class, treatment checks, check-ups, treatments, and so on, and I don't know when it will end.
Treatment began, but Roy, who was lying in a hospital bed, was full of thoughts about the game against the Mavericks that had just ended.
If I had been on the pitch, I would have won the game. That's right, the strength of the Mavericks is not strong, their shooting is worse than the Knicks, and their style of play is even more profligate than the Knicks, but only the team still has the "old driver" Nowitzki in charge, and in the crucial fourth quarter, it was Nowitzki's continuous key shots that helped the team win 103:95.
It would be nice if I was on the field, and if I was on the field, I would definitely not give the opponent so many chances.
While Roy was still thinking about it, Dr. Carter was in trouble again.
It was an unexpected turn.
Roy finished the examination as usual, and Dr. Carter got the report as usual, looked at it as usual, and then ......
Something wasn't right, Dr. Carter finished reading the report and suddenly walked back to the computer.
What was displayed on the computer was the result of Roy's MRI.
I saw Carter staring at the computer screen for a long time, then taking off his glasses and looking at it for a long time.
"It can't be." Dr. Carter pinched his thigh hard, no problem, he wasn't dreaming, he immediately called his assistant.
"Add, take a look, this is Roy's right knee, it didn't scan the left knee."
"No, Boss, this must be Roy's right knee, what's wrong?"
"Add, take a closer look, do you find anything?"
"That ......" Eddie's hand pointed at the screen, and Dr. Carter shouted.
"That's right, Roy's sprained ligament in his right knee has actually healed."
"Boss, no kidding, it's only been a few days since Roy was injured, and wild animals don't have this kind of recovery speed." Add said as he stared at the screen, and immediately, he was stunned.
Is this true, did Roy really recover?
Surprised, Dr. Carter couldn't believe it, and he immediately called several other members of the medical team, and he even called some rehabilitation therapists and masseurs as well, and several of them started to report on Roy's MRI report.
It's a miracle.
After 5 minutes, all the team doctors, therapists, and masseurs came to the unanimous conclusion that Roy had really recovered, incredible, Roy was really a miracle man, and his sprained right knee was repaired automatically after 10 days.
Is Roy really the invulnerable Iron Man?
"What do you say? Has my body recovered? Roy was also taken aback when he heard the news, and then he jumped up in ecstasy.
Roy kept jumping up and down despite Dr. Carter's dissuasion, he wanted to see if his knee had recovered, and he was shocked that the pain in Roy's right knee had really disappeared, not only the pain was gone, but even the original discomfort was completely gone.
What kind of day is today? It's a stroke of luck.
Roy's first thought was to tell Abby the great news.
He opened his phone, and it showed January 26, 2017.
Seeing this time, Roy suddenly woke up, so it was.
I see, it's the damn "curse" that is gone, it's the side effects left by participating in Abdul-Jabbar's special training that have been eliminated, although I don't know why my body has recovered after the side effects are gone, but now Roy can really return to the court.
"I'm going to play tomorrow."
Roy's "I'm going to play" caused a wave of panic among Dr. Carter and the others, and the decibel level in the medical room immediately increased several times, and almost everyone was trying to dissuade Roy from taking the risk of fighting.
"Roy, you can't play with fire, it's not sure if you're really okay yet, and you definitely can't risk the game."
"Roy, for the sake of your future, I advise you to take a break for a while, this is for the sake of your career."
"Add, let's re-check Roy, maybe it's just a machine failure."
The dissuasion of everyone could not shake Roy's determination at all, and Dr. Carter was out of options, he pulled Roy aside, and said solemnly: "Roy, I am the team's team doctor, and it is up to me whether the players can play or not, I think your current situation is not suitable for the game, you have to listen to me." ”
Roy glanced at Dr. Carter with a determined expression, "Thomas (Carter), do you remember those two physical exams you did for me earlier?" ”
"Remember, what's wrong? What does it have to do with whether you play or not? ”
"You once said I was a miracle of sports medicine, right?"
"That's right."
"So you should believe me, I was born to do miracles, I'm sure, I'm absolutely fine, I'm going to compete, I'm going to win the game......"
