"Roy shouts a declaration of war, and the Knicks will face the world again."

"Hard-mouthed Roy will not repent, and he will challenge the masters of the whole league with wild words."

"Scandal forced out the strongest Roy? The Knicks, the No. 1 team in the East, are in danger of being surrounded by the whole league. ”

There is no doubt that the interview after the game against the Heat pushed Roy to the forefront of the major media again. It's clear that the recent media and fan criticism has annoyed the superstar, and his declaration of war is not so much about challenging the league's stars as it is about challenging all those who belittle, question and criticize him.

Roy was up for the challenge, and Miami was just the first stop on his counter-attack. Anyway, it's nothing more than a rougher defense, anyway, it's nothing more than more pressure, anyway, I'm now a toxic "black mamba", and in the face of the negative energy of the media and fans, I can make myself stronger, so what's there to be afraid of?

In addition, after defeating the Miami Heat, the Knicks temporarily topped the top spot in the East by half a win, which is the best record the Knicks have been able to achieve in recent years. So, at this time, Roy suddenly said that he wanted to "challenge the whole league", which means a little youthful frivolity, and this kind of youthful frivolity is easy to cause dissatisfaction among those NBA veteran stars.

Just as Jordan was born out of nowhere, he would be jointly suppressed by "Big Bird" Bird, "Magic" Johnson and "Smiling Assassin" Thomas, and then Kobe Bryant and O'Neal made high-profile debuts, Jordan and Olajuwon will also teach them to be people, and then Rose will appear, and it will be James' turn to be the old guy who stands in front of him.

The future is for the young people, but it is also for the old guys, and the NBA is also a place that pays great attention to seniority.

So, when Roy issued the "Challenge the League" declaration, the veteran stars of those leagues immediately jumped out:

LeBron James said in an interview: "The current Roy is not qualified to call the league, even if he is the most valuable star in the league, it does not mean that he can speak so wildly." ”

It seems that James is still angry that Roy has stolen the halo of his most valuable star.

Old enemies Cousins and Lowry also choked on Twitter.

Cousins wrote: "It turns out that Roy is a rookie who has never seen the world, he was negligent in the last fight, and he will definitely be able to teach him how to be a man in the next fight." ”

Lowry said: "Roy is getting a little carried away right now, and I'm willing to bet Roy will end the season in a bleak end. ”

Of course, let's not forget that there are also Anthony and Thomas Jr., two former enemies of Roy, who now have James and the Cavaliers as backers, and they are also a lot tougher to speak. They unanimously said they would give Roy and the Knicks a little color in the next game.

The Knicks are facing the Cavaliers again? That's right, the New York Knicks' next opponent is none other than the Cleveland Cavaliers, who bloodied themselves in the opener.

In fact, Roy has long been optimistic about the schedule, and if the league's ticket is slower, he may be able to catch up with this game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Roy is looking forward to this game, which is a great opportunity for him to take revenge on James and Anthony, and a good opportunity to further consolidate the Knicks' rankings. In order to beat the mighty Cavaliers, Roy had already ramped up his training some time ago, and he even thought of trash-talk lines to James and Anthony.

Unfortunately, it backfired, and the day before the Knicks and Cavaliers game, the league's fine was issued: Roy violated the league's rules on draft age restrictions by falsely reporting his age to participate in the draft, but in view of the league's lack of a clear basis for punishment for this violation, after discussing and voting with the owners of the 30 NBA teams, the league decided to impose a five-game suspension on Roy.

Why was the penalty decision announced at this time? For the sudden suspension punishment, Roy is naturally the most frustrated person, not only did he lose the opportunity to take revenge on James, slap Anthony and Thomas Jr., but also his absence had a great impact on the Knicks, if the Knicks lost the game, they would lose the first place in the East that had not yet been hot.

For the media and fans, the cost of Roy's suspension is even greater. The suspension of 5 games means that Roy will miss the competition with the Cleveland Cavaliers, Sacramento Kings, Los Angeles Lakers, Phoenix Suns and Golden State Warriors. Just thinking about it with your brain, you can see how many wonderful games and highlights you have to miss.

"Xiao Hua must be the godfather of 'My Emperor' James, it seems that Stern handed over the NBA belongings and James to Xiao Hua for safekeeping."

"After a long time, it turned out that the Cavaliers were the biggest beneficiaries of the league's punishments, and the Warriors were really to blame before."

"What else can I say? Can't Xiao Hua let us enjoy the duel between the top two teams in the East before announcing the suspension punishment? ”

No matter how much the fans complain, they can't change the league's penalty decision.

Roy was suspended just so suddenly.

His absence was a fatal blow to the New York Knicks. In Roy's first game after suspension, the New York Knicks were taught by the Cleveland Cavaliers. On their home court, the Knicks actually lost to their opponents by a gap of 32 points at 94:126. Although the Cavaliers played in a mess, with the super individual ability of the four All-Stars James, Anthony, Love, and Thomas Jr., they simply washed the Knicks who played even more disorganized.

It's no wonder that the Knicks, they did lose this game without temper, the main point guard Rose was injured, and the team's number one star Roy was also suspended, so it's no wonder that they can win.

No wonder some people say that James is the "godson" of the president of the league, just think about it, you can understand why Xiao Hua didn't stop early and night, and chose to suspend Roy the day before the game with the Cavaliers, this is really not a coincidence.

But the fact is that the Knicks lost, not only did they not avenge the old revenge of the opening game, but also added a new hatred of the 32-point defeat at home, watching Anthony score a game-high 28 points on his old club, watching the Cavaliers Big Four have fun on their home court, the Knicks fans hate the itchy teeth, and they miss Roy even more.

Roy was in the team's gym to watch the whole game, and after receiving the suspension notice, he decided to let off steam. Watching the game with him was Derrick Rose, who was recovering from training, and the two of them were in the gym with one working on strength and the other on a bicycle, forming a strange scenery with the ups and downs of the race.

Throughout the first half, Roy had few words and Rose was also silent. The two of them kept quiet in such a tacit understanding, each busy with their own things, except for the sound of the TV, only the sound of the collision of instruments.

The silence lasted until halftime, and the two had a little communication after seeing the Knicks trail by a score of 48-63 in the first half.

Rose was the first to stir up the conversation: "Hey, Roy, you are doing bench press so hard reminds me of some of the past. ”

"What do you mean?" Roy replied to Rose, but the movements in his hands did not stop.

"You should have received real-time tasks from the 'system', some of which are more normal, and some of which are more bizarre, such as making you run non-stop or do strength training or something."

"Yes." Roy pushed the barbell and squeezed the word out between his teeth.

"In my freshman year of high school, I remember doing strength training a lot like you do now, and my strength was really not very good at that time. Now that I think about it, the 'system' really guided me on the right path of growth. Looking at James on TV, a trace of remorse flashed in Rose's eyes.

"I might have been able to replace this guy at the top of the NBA." Rose didn't know who he was saying this, and Roy finally stopped practicing.

"Derek (Rose), what's wrong with you?" Roy wiped his sweat, and Rose looked even more lonely from his angle.

"It's nothing, I just sighed that my peak may never come back. Of course, maybe only I know that I never reached the top. Ross bit his lip and turned to look at Roy, "Roy, aren't you curious about the 'system'?" I've never seen you ask me about the 'system' and my previous stories. ”

"Well......" Roy thought for a moment, it seemed that this was the case, obviously there was a person from the "Ball King System" by his side, but he had never learned anything from him.

"I think I can handle everything."

"Really?" Rose also stopped his bike, "Then what do you think if you were on the court today, how would you deal with the four kings of the Cavaliers?" ”

"If it's Thomas Jr. who is opposite me, then I will use my height to eat him in the previous way, if it is Anthony who is opposite me, then I can use speed to break through him, only James is the most troublesome, I think ......"

"Roy." Rose abruptly interrupted Roy's statement, "If I were the head coach of the Cavaliers, then I would definitely lock you up one-on-one with James, and if even James couldn't guard you, it would definitely be a double bag." Now the whole league knows that as long as you limit you, the Knicks' offense will be paralyzed by half, and every team will definitely do their best to limit you. ”

"Well, that's right......" Roy suddenly fell into deep thought again, thinking back to the past few games, his strengths and weaknesses were indeed clear at a glance. Roy can score, especially good at shooting, but in the absence of a super point guard for the Knicks, his long-range scoring ability is often greatly reduced, and if he chooses to play alone with the ball, it is quite physically draining, so now Hornacek simply uses himself as a point guard. But as Rose said, with his own possession ability, it is a big challenge to deal with a super defensive player like James and break through the opponent's double bag, and if you can't use your individual ability to break through the opponent's defense, the team's offense will undoubtedly be in trouble.

"Roy, if it were me at my peak, what would you guess I would do?"

"You're going to break through the opponent's defense and get inside."

"That's right, if you have the ability to break down the opponent's defense head-on, no one can stop you, and if you still have the ability to shoot from the outside, then you're close to invincibility."

"So what?" Roy seemed to hear a little bit of a mystery.

"So, I think instead of lifting a barbell in the gym, you should do a special training session with me, and you should add a breakthrough series skill to your arsenal."

"Breakthrough series skills? But how do I know when I'll be able to draw the Breakthrough Set skill? ”

"Roy, you really don't know much about the 'system', skills aren't all drawn by lottery, sometimes we can create it."

"Creation skills?"

"That's right, before me, there was no skill of 'not slowing down and changing direction' in the world, as long as we keep training, keep improving ourselves, and keep breaking through the limits, we can also create our own skills, and we can also create our own era."
