Roy is in trouble again.

The Knicks are in trouble again.

While this isn't the first time the Knicks have lost three in a row this season, and while this isn't the first time Roy has experienced the virtues of these unscrupulous media, he still feels the pressure from the media and fans at the center of the storm.

Theoretically, Roy only played two stinky balls, so why did he cause such a big reaction? Speaking of which, this is still caused by people's inferior nature, just like an excellent student who has been taking the test with 100 points, it is rare to score 90 points in the test at one time, and the attitude of others towards him is that you have regressed a lot, and another poor student who has failed all the year round, occasionally gets a 70 points at a time, and the teacher Tiebao will praise him to the sky.

Team records and personal data are the best indicators for the media and fans to judge an NBA star.

If your team's results are good and your stats are mediocre, then you are a role player in the eyes of others, and their best evaluation of you is a championship puzzle, and the rating is definitely not too high.

For example, Robert Horry back then, this super big heart player won 7 championship rings in his career with the Rockets, Lakers, and Spurs, ranking in the top eight in history, almost creating a big record, and every time the game is played at a critical moment, Horry's stunner is indispensable, and the exposure rate is absolutely sufficient.

Another example is Andre Iguodala of the current Warriors, who was also the boss of the Philadelphia 76ers, with an average of 18+5+5 per game, and was selected as an All-Star and a dream team. Iguodala's early stats were good, but after he joined the Golden State Warriors as the sixth man, his stats plummeted, and even though he won the championship after that, he never received much praise from the media and fans, which shows that personal data is very important to every star.

And if your stats are beautiful but your team's results are sparse, no one will look like a superstar, they will just say you're a data brush.

In the history of the NBA, there are not a few such examples, such as Michael Reed of the Bucks, this gentleman's shooting is very weird, every time he has to throw a big arc to the basket, but he can still score. Reed was originally cultivated by the Bucks as a leading star, but although he is a good scorer, with an average of 20+ points per game all year round, or even 25+, and was selected for the Dream Team to participate in the Beijing Olympics, he was unable to drive his teammates at all, so the Bucks' record has not been able to go up, and in the end he has not been highly praised.

Another example is Monta Ellis, who regards scoring as more important than victory, Ellis was the leading big brother of the Warriors when Curry debuted, although his position on the court is a point guard, but his style of play is completely a scoring guard, which can be called a famous cancer in the league. Although Ellis has a poor shooting percentage, his tone is not small, and he once boasted that he is the second best in the West. But the team's record doesn't lie, in the years when Ellis was the star, the Warriors were a complete fish belly team, and everyone was bullied and let others use the knife, and no matter how good the data was, it was in vain.

Finally, of course, I also want to mention the famous data brush David Lee in the history of the New York Knicks, he is a famous short white power forward in the league, if you want to talk about his ability, some people may talk about his 20+10 (20 points per game, 10 rebounds) data, but you have to say how good Lee is, look at the Knicks' record in those years, you will find that the so-called "double-double machine" is actually Lee brushed out with the team's poor record.

So, a true star needs not only to have a good stat, but also to have the support of the team's record, and Roy has obviously done a terrible job on both of these lately.

Roy is now under pressure from the media and fans, and after his amazing super performances in the first two months, everyone's expectations for him are at the highest point, and his recent stats have plummeted, so it is natural that everyone will not escape the doubt.

After these three defeats, Roy's status among the media and fans is slowly declining, and of course this is normal, no one will tout a player who averages single digits per game, and no one cares if you acted like a genius before.

There are many examples of "debut is the peak" in the NBA, so for any rookie, if you can't consistently play your true strength and play convincing statistics, you will be questioned by others and even labeled as a parallel import.

Roy certainly doesn't have any worries about being relegated to parallel trading right now, and with his previous fame and popularity, he doesn't have to worry about being overwhelmed by criticism for the time being, but the team seems to be more worried than Roy himself.

The first to care about Roy was the team's head coach Hornacek, in fact, he saw in his daily training that Roy's condition was not good, compared to the previous Roy, who was vigorous and trained hard, the current Roy is a little too quiet.

Roy seems to be tired, this is one of the problems judged by Hornacek, three games in a row, Roy has a feeling of not being able to run on the field, could it be that Roy's physical reserves have collapsed? Or did he really make it to the "rookie wall"?

To this end, Hornacek also specially asked Dr. Carter to conduct a special physical examination and recovery treatment for Roy, but the effect was minimal. According to Dr. Carter, Roy's current situation is a very rare phenomenon of fatigue, which cannot be overcome by normal metabolism, and if even his own medical team cannot help Roy out of this situation, then I am afraid that others will not be able to do anything.

The second concern about Roy's state is the Knicks president Phil Jackson, Roy's sluggish performance in these games, he has seen all the sluggish performances in these games, when he saw the team's three consecutive defeats, and Roy showed weakness on the court, Phil Jackson immediately realized if Roy had a psychological problem.

As a well-known psychological guru in the league, Phil Jackson has a whole set of ways to adjust Roy's mental state, and he first had an in-depth conversation with Roy on all aspects, including Roy's feelings about his own body, including whether he has any requirements for the team, and his ability to withstand external pressure.

Surprisingly, Roy's mentality seems to be very stable, he doesn't even have a little impetuousness and uneasiness, in other words, Roy's psychological quality is very good, even if the team is in a difficult situation, Roy still sees the team's problems very clearly, he even sees it more clearly than himself and Honacek.

It's not a physical problem, it's not a psychological problem, it's really an unsolvable problem.

There is no solution, there is no solution to Roy's problem, and there is no solution to the Knicks' problem.

The Knicks' poor performance continued, and after playing an away game against the Bucks, the Knicks suffered a 109-123 defeat to the Indiana Pacers, who had previously won at home, in back-to-back road games.

In this game, the Knicks were sleepwalking, they only scored 43 points in the first half, trailed by 19 points at halftime, and finally chased all the way but still hated the away.

The biggest problem for the Knicks is still poor scoring.

The team's number one player, Roy, now seems to have completely turned into Jason Kidd, and in this game, he scored 11 points, eight rebounds, and nine assists, but it was not enough to win against the Pacers and not enough to beat the mighty Paul George.

Facing Paul George, the opponent he had suppressed in the first round, Roy was completely defeated in this direct encounter, although he made achievements in rebounds and assists, but lost to George by 18 points in the scoring that the media and fans minded the most. And under George's tight defense, Roy's shooting percentage dropped to 28.57%.

The Pacers walked away with the victory, and not only did Paul George score a game-high 29 points, but also Jeff Teague, Thaddeus Young, Myles Turner, C.J. Myers, and Al Jefferson scored double-doubles, and it was difficult not to win.

However, although the Knicks lost the game and Roy had a mediocre performance, Roy and George became true friends by taking this opportunity.

The two followed each other and became friends after the first round, and have interacted a lot on Twitter since then, and even after Roy scored 58 points to beat the Rockets in the New Year's game, George also made a point to congratulate Roy and wish him well.

This time Roy visited Indianapolis, and George, as a landowner, naturally wanted to entertain him, and the friendship naturally warmed up.

At the dinner table, Roy tentatively asked Paul George about his plans (the NBA does not allow teams and players to recruit other players privately), and George bluntly admitted that he is not satisfied with the team's situation at the moment. However, as the number one star of the Pacers, Larry Bird will definitely not trade George at will, so even though George has repeatedly expressed his concerns about the team's strength and prospects in front of the media, and has had two deep conversations with Bird, Bird's attitude is still very firm: George is impossible to go this season.

Larry Bird has actually thought about it a long time ago, George, it's not that simple if you want to go, if there is a team that wants to get George, if there is a team that can give a chip to match George, then there is still talk. But presumably those teams that are striving to win the championship will not dare to try George's big dish easily. So, where George wants to go is really not up to him.

Later, George also asked about the reason for Roy's sluggish state, about this, Roy could only laugh, this is indeed a problem, an unsolvable problem, Roy himself also wants to know how to solve this problem, but who can help him answer it? But who is to blame for this? ……
