Chapter 349: Injury

Roy was really injured, the moment he fell to the ground, he only felt a sharp pain from his knee, the pain meant that he was injured, maybe it hurt the bones, maybe it hurt the ligaments, in short, Roy couldn't move all of a sudden.

Lying on the ground, Roy's mind went blank, and many figures flashed before his eyes, the referee, Hornacek, Rose, and Howard on the other side, etc., his ears were ringing, and various human voices were ringing.

"Are you alright? Roy. ”

"Roy, what's wrong with you?"

"Oh my god, Roy seems to be hurt."

"Hey, buddy, can you still stand up?"

In the midst of the noise, the Knicks team doctor Carter and the masseur had already walked to Roy's side, only to see Dr. Carter briefly touch Roy's injury, and ask Roy a few more questions, he immediately counted.

"Roy can't play this game."

When he heard the news, Hornacek only felt five thunderbolts.

Roy had already been helped up by Hernangomez and Farid, and although Roy tried to kick his legs, and even tried to take two steps on his own, the pain immediately discouraged him. Roy suddenly realized the severity of his injuries, and with the help of Hernangomez and Farid, Roy limped to the medical room.

And the game entered the rhythm of the Eagles.

Roy left, the Knicks became the Knicks team with a chaotic style of play, and the Knicks without Roy and Porzingis, the two main attackers, were not mature Hawks opponents at all, and the Hawks offense became more and more fluid after losing Roy.

Howard, who was criticized, slowly regained his offensive rhythm, and the outside players also fired a series of shots, and the score was quickly pulled away.

The Knicks' loss was inevitable, in fact, after Roy went off the court, Knicks fans understood this truth. This is Roy's team, and it has always been Roy who has led the team forward. Without Roy, the Knicks would be a slightly better underdog at best, and they certainly have nothing to do with the playoffs anyway.

In this way, the Hawks took advantage of Roy's departure to storm and finally won the game easily, and at 118:107, the Knicks lost at home again.

118 points is definitely a stat for the Hawks to boast of, with Dennis Schroder scoring a game-high 28 points, Tim Hardaway II scoring 20 points, Paul Millsap having 17 points and seven rebounds, and Howard also having 14 points and 14 rebounds.

On the Knicks' side, Roy scored 27 points in three quarters, but unfortunately left the game with an injury in the third quarter, Derrick Rose had 18 points and 9 assists, and Noah grabbed 17 rebounds.

If you sum up the game in one sentence, it would be to lose and lose.

And compared to this upsetting home defeat, Roy's injury undoubtedly affects everyone's hearts more.

Before the game was over, a group of reporters gathered outside the Knicks' infirmary, and the reporters stuck their heads out, hoping to see through the curtains, including the anxious Abby Hornacek.

In the medical room, Dr. Carter is doing a comprehensive physical examination of Roy, and in his opinion, Roy's injury is not optimistic.

"Roy, do you know what part of you is having a problem?"

Dr. Carter's grim face made Roy think of a lot of bad hints.

"I feel pain in my knee, isn't there something wrong with my knee?"

"No, we're talking about your knees."

"So what?" Seeing Dr. Carter's brows furrowed, Roy was also shocked.

"I have two pieces of news, good news and bad news. The bad news is that you have a sign of a sprained knee ligament, and the good news is that it hasn't torn yet, but I'm still very worried about its condition. Dr. Carter still only said half a sentence, which made Roy even more nervous.

"Hey, Thomas (Carter), just get it done. Tell me, what am I going to do to deal with this injury? Am I going to have surgery? Am I going to be hospitalized? Or what am I going to do? ”

"No, it's not like it's going to be a surgery, in fact I don't recommend players to do it too much, but I think you have to pay attention to your knee ligament injury, you're still young, Roy, don't have to work so hard, if you can......"

"What can be?" Roy's eyes were fixed on Dr. Carter, he was afraid to hear some terrible words.

"If you can, I advise you to take care of your injuries and not play for the rest of the season, this is the best treatment for your body, and I repeat, knee ligament injuries must be taken seriously."

After Dr. Carter's words, Roy was overjoyed and surprised, happy that his knee was not too serious, at least he didn't need surgery, and to his surprise, Dr. Carter advised him to give up all the next games, which Roy couldn't accept.

"So there's no other treatment? For example, what conservative therapy. Seriously, I really don't want to miss any games. ”

Seeing that Roy couldn't be spoken, Dr. Carter took off his glasses and began to teach Roy.

"Roy, listen to me, the knee is the most important part of the telemobilization, and no one, not even those Celestial superstars, can fight against these few little bones and nerves. It's already the greatest gift from God that you didn't tear your ligaments this time, so trust me, you need to take the time to heal this injury, you're only 18 years old, you still have time to make your dreams come true, don't risk it for some inconsequential matches. ”

Inconsequential? No, there was no such thing as an inconsequential game in Roy's mind, but Dr. Carter's words made Roy unable to argue with it, and he closed his eyes and lay down on the bed, and couldn't help but start to get annoyed again......

The news of Roy's injury immediately spread across the United States and even the world, and the ill-fated genius teenager has always been concerned about the hearts of the majority of fans.

Knee injuries can be fatal for basketball players, and the NBA has countless talented stars ruined by knee injuries, such as Roy's teammate, the youngest MVP in history, Derrick Rose; For example, Brandon Roy, the "Yellow Mamba" with the same name as Roy; For example, the talented center Greg Oden, who fell before he even took off; Another example is Roy's predecessor, Yao Ming, the first person in Chinese basketball.

When the knee is linked to an injury, it's probably a very bad situation.

Now, the media across the United States has gone viral with news of Roy's knee injury, with some people gloating about rumors that Roy has torn a ligament in his knee and that his career has been reimbursed; Some people are optimistic that Roy is just a hard knee injury and can continue to compete after two days of rest; Some people also suggested that Roy simply give up the rest of the game and recuperate from his injury with peace of mind, thinking that Michael Jordan also had the next journey to the gods after suffering a fracture in the second year and being reimbursed for the season, so everything should not be too rushed.

You can't rush everything, but Roy is really in a hurry.

He is now being held by Dr. Carter in a recuperation at New York Central Hospital. Although Roy was able to walk on the ground, Roy could not take half a step out of the hospital without Dr. Carter's permission.

Outside Roy's hospital room was visited almost every day, including Phil Jackson, Jeff Hornacek, John Stockton, Carl Malone, Knicks teammates and, of course, a lot of reporters who wanted to get some news.

Through the glass, Roy saw Abby with anxious eyes.

Roy had already sent a message to tell Abby that he was okay and asked her not to be too anxious, but Abby still couldn't help but come to the scene to visit, but unfortunately, two big men isolated everyone from the ward.

When Roy was away, the Knicks were also extremely difficult, even difficult to move an inch, they first lost 111-135 to the Boston Celtics on the road, allowing the Celtics to avenge two defeats to the Knicks, and Irving slashed 45 points, which can be regarded as a change of direction to avenge Roy's defeat of himself.

The loss to the third-ranked Celtics in the East was nothing, and then the Knicks suffered another 90-113 loss at home to the Washington Wizards, who scored a staggering 29 points and 13 assists in the game.

And after this game, the Knicks also fell out of the top eight in the East in one fell swoop.

However, the tragedy of the Knicks continues, they are still losing, they are still losing undisciplinedly, and this time it was the Phoenix Suns who were at the bottom of the West who tasted victory at the Madison Square Square Arena (home of the Knicks). At 105:107, the Knicks lost to the bottom team in the West, and Devin Booker and Eric Bledsoe combined for 49 points.

It was almost a humiliating defeat for the Suns to lose, and after the game, angry New York fans finally couldn't bear to play the slogan "Hornacek out".

Hornacek is on the verge of leaving class again, but fortunately, Huo Shuai's luck has been good, this time it was the Indiana Pacers who came to the rescue, they actually lost 103-109 to the incomplete Knicks on their home court, trying to keep Hornacek through the difficulties.

But did Huo Shuai's position really remain? Everyone knows that as long as Roy is not on the team, it is only a matter of time before Hornacek is gone......
