Chapter 354: Four Battles Eagles

120:107, which was the final score of the Knicks vs. Hornets game.

Roy's first game back led the Knicks to a big victory, and with this victory, the Knicks' record returned to 23-25, and Hornacek won a magical victory in the life-and-death battle that decided to go to and from class.

Roy scored a game-high 32 points, along with six rebounds and seven assists in just three quarters, while Porzingis, Lee, Farid and Rose contributed 18, 16, 15 and 13 points, respectively.

The Hornets' players weren't too bad, with their top scorer Kenwall Barker finishing with 31 points, 10 rebounds and five assists, as well as Marvin Williams, Nicolas Batum, Marco Belinelli and Michael Gilchrist.

After the game, everyone rushed to Roy for the first time, and Roy had already expected this to happen, he ignored anyone and ran straight back to the locker room as fast as he could.

For those media reporters who are on both sides of the wall, Roy is not interested at all now.

Since Roy could not be caught, Hornacek, who attended the press conference, became the focus of everyone's questions.

About how Roy suddenly came back, about whether Roy's injuries have healed, about Roy's current real condition and which miracle doctor cured Roy, etc.

Regarding the various questions raised by reporters, Hornacek answered uniformly: "Fellow journalists, I know that you are very interested in Roy's comeback, but he may have been very busy recently, and he only asked me to bring one sentence to you in response to the questions from journalists: 'I'm back, thank you for your questioning, it has made me stronger.'" ’”

Whether Roy has gotten stronger, judging from this game against the Hornets alone, it seems that he has just recovered to his previous level, but Roy himself knows that he has not fully let go of playing in the first game.

Roy in the game against the Hornets was at best a trial version of Roy 2.0.

In the second day's training session, the Knicks' teammates really felt Roy's all-round improvement and true strength.

Derrick Rose sensed that Roy had gotten faster, that it was now harder to catch up with him, and that if there was to be a benchmark, it would probably be that only the league's fastest John Wall could fight him.

Kenneth Farid felt that Roy's strength had become stronger, and now his back-to-back offense and under-the-basket foot power were a little overwhelming even for himself known as "Half-Orc".

Joe Jim Noah also felt that Roy jumped higher and shot more accurately, and as the league's best defensive player ever, his own defense interfered with him very little.

That's right, Roy is showing exactly what he achieved in Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's training, and he has only shown this ability in the Christmas game against the Rockets before, and then he is trapped in physical punishment, and he can only play "health basketball".

And now, he's completely liberated, and he's smashing the basket again and again, as if he hadn't used up much of his energy in yesterday's game against the Charlotte Hornets.

Roy's superhuman performance taught his well-informed teammates what magic is.

"Hey, Roy, what the hell is going on with you? You weren't going to be pretending to be injured before, were you? "Hernangomez still can't believe that Roy can return to the pitch and return to the pitch in such a strong manner.

Roy gave the Spanish teaser a blank look, "Do you think Dr. Carter would make fun of his career?" ”

"Roy, I've heard that there are a lot of miraculous abilities in China, like what kind of qigong? Internal force? Elixir? Did you get this wound cured by some Chinese spell or magic? Darrell Arthur joined the discussion, looking at Roy with a reverent expression, for whom Roy was a miracle.

"Darrell, I don't know how to explain it, but if you think there's magic in the world, then be."

"Oh my God, is there really such a mysterious power in this world? If you could, could you share with me that I had long wanted to heal my knee injury completely. ”

"Hey, Roy, count me in if you can, my back hurts all the time."

"Roy, I wonder if there's any kind of magic that increases the functionality of the night, hahahahaha."

"Roy, if you know anyone who can heal an injury, count me in."

"And me, and my ......"

Roy's comeback is like a miracle.

The word "miracle" is exactly the word that major media use most about Roy's comeback.

"Who can come back in just over ten days with a serious knee injury? And hit 32+6+7 data? That person is not Michael Jordan, the 'God of Basketball', not LeBron James, the 'Chosen One', that person is Roy, the 'Miracle Brother', and he explains to us what a real miracle is. ”

"Miracles, this is a living miracle, I dare say 'Roy's Return' is the biggest miracle on the NBA court after 'Maddy's moment', it's a miracle of modern medicine, no one in the history of the NBA can beat injuries, no one, Jordan can't, Kobe Bryant can't, but Roy did it."

"I think this year's NBA advertising slogan (where the miracle happens) is so apt for Roy that we can't really find a second word to describe Roy's performance, and I don't know how long Roy's miracle will last? Well, now we can only continue to wait and see Roy's next miracle moment. ”

Miracle Roy, Miracle Brother Roy, Mr. Miracle Roy, these words quickly swept the Internet, and smart merchants also took the lead and successively launched "Miracle Series" products, such as "Miracle Coffee", "Miracle Cake", "Miracle Mug", and even "Miracle TT".

All kinds of bizarre advertising slogans were born, such as "miracle coffee, a cup to help you sweep away all fatigue", "miracle cake brings you back to life", and "do you want to be hard like Roy?" Please use the Miracle Series TT".

Roy, who holds the title of "Mr. Miracle", is still creating miracles.

In the next game, Roy and the Knicks will face the Atlanta Hawks, an opponent who has caused Roy to fall once.

Where you fall, get up from there.

Roy still remembers what happened in Madison Square Garden on January 16th, if it wasn't for that impulsiveness, if it wasn't for that recklessness, if it wasn't for that willfulness, would the ending be different?

This is the fourth meeting between the Knicks and the Hawks this season and their last meeting in the regular season.

The Atlanta Hawks are a different team than the previous three meetings, having just a few days ago made a deal with the Cleveland Cavaliers, trading their sharpshooter Kyle Korver to the Cavaliers in exchange for the Cavaliers' Mike Dunleavy, Mo Williams and a 2019 first-round pick.

Looking at the strength on paper, the Eagles have undoubtedly declined, but for Roy, the Eagles are still the same Eagles.

Coming to Atlanta again, Roy's mood couldn't have been calm.

As in the previous game, Roy declined all media interviews and did not officially appear on the court until the warm-up before the game.

Roy saw Howard again, the man who almost cost him a season.

Seeing Roy, Howard obviously felt a little guilty, and although Roy didn't mean to blame, he still took the initiative to apologize to Roy.

"Hey, buddy, you know, last time it was really just an accident, I jumped up as I would normally defend and I hit your knee unexpectedly."

Roy waved his hand, and he also knew that this big man should not have the intention of hurting people.

"It's okay, Dwight (Howard), this is the game, you don't have to show mercy to me tonight, I like the way you defend it."

Roy's words really come from the heart.

He understands that Howard is a defensive yardstick in the league, and if he can beat Howard, it will undoubtedly prove that there are not too many defenders in the league who can stop him.

So, Roy wanted Howard to do his best to show him how far he had grown.

How far has Roy grown? It seems that the Hawks, who are known for their defense, and Howard, the league's best defensive player, are really his best litmus test......
