Chapter 318: Roy's Determination

Roy is here, Roy is finally here.

With the wind and the rain, Roy shows up at the Madison Garden Plaza Arena.

Everyone's eyes were instantly focused, Roy was still the same Roy, but he seemed to be very cold and tired.

Where did Roy go in the past two days? What was done? Who have you met with?

Nobody knows.

Unbeknownst to Hornacek, he only received a text message from Roy asking him to take two days off from training and never contacted Roy again; Su Dong didn't know that the last text message he received from Roy was to ask him to transfer the prepared gift to Abby; Bill Duffy didn't know either, he only knew that Roy had entrusted him with some of the day-to-day affairs of media PR, and then he was never heard from.

The only person in the know may be Phil Jackson, but he only flew to Los Angeles with Roy on the private jet of his boss James Dolan, during which Roy kept his eyes closed and didn't communicate much. After getting off the plane, Dolan went straight to Hollywood, Phil Jackson went home to find his wife, and only Roy was missing.

Then, a media reporter found out about Roy's disappearance, and Roy was absent from the training session for two whole days, which is absolutely abnormal for Roy, who trains hard.

The news of Roy's disappearance was revealed by the media that it was already Christmas, that is, the morning of the Christmas war, but in such a half a day, N versions of gossip have been spread on the Internet, including why Roy chose to lock himself up at home because he couldn't stand the blow, why Roy returned to China in anger because of unfair treatment, why Roy lingered in a certain place because he was disheartened, etc.

In short, everyone seems to like to guess things to the bad side, of course, this is also in line with people's psychological activities, generally for the guy who is better than himself, once something happens, he likes to guess the bad place is human nature.

At this time, those reporters who have been waiting for the rabbit for a long time have already surrounded Roy, although they also have all kinds of whimsical ideas, but their problems are much more decent than the fans with bigger brains.

Of course, the two simplest questions asked by reporters the most: where Roy went and what he did in the past two days.

What can you do in two days? What's there to ask about this. Roy was a little helpless, he looked at the curious faces, and asked rhetorically, "What do you think?" Where do you think I went? What did I do? ”

Rhetorical questions about us? What does that mean?

Those reporters were stunned by this question, and their brains were opened in an instant, could it be that Roy was really in trouble?

Taking advantage of the reporters' wild speculation, Roy walked into the arena with a smoke.

In the arena, Royx's teammates and fans had been waiting for a long time, and as soon as they saw Roy appear, their decibels immediately rose to the maximum.

“MVP,MVP,MVP。” Many fans actually shouted MVP, which surprised Ross of the old rivers and lakes, it is unbelievable that a rookie rookie can enjoy such treatment as "MVP". Of course, at this moment, everything seems understandable, and the fans who shouted "MVP" are the most important members of Roy's die-hard fan club, most of whom are Asian, and in order to express their dissatisfaction with the league's decision, they spontaneously organized to cheer for Roy today.

"MVP" is an attitude and a protest, but this kind of self-congratulatory cheering slogan still seems a bit maverick now, and there are few fans who respond.

MVP? When the warm-up Celtics players heard this harsh word, they were immediately interested, and they made fun of this "MVP".

"Kyrie (Irving), those fans are shouting (MVP) is you, you can be honest, these people are not the extras you paid for." Al Horford was the first to joke with Irving, and in the first round against the Knicks, he missed the game due to injury, which led to a one-point defeat for the Celtics at home, so he definitely has to play well in this game to prove his worth.

"Are you kidding, Al (Horford), the extras in New York are very expensive, how can I hire them, only our Chinese billionaires (referring to Roy) can afford to hire them, hahahahaha."

Irving taunted in the air, causing the warm-up players of the Celtics to also grin, and it can be seen that after getting Irving, the Celtics have also improved their self-confidence.

The Celtics are still teasing Roy here, and Roy has already changed his outfit and warmed up.

As when he entered the field before, Roy was surrounded by his teammates as soon as he came on.

"Hey, Roy, where have you been for the past two days? Fans all over the world are looking for you, you tell me the truth, did you find a hot girl to go out happy? Listening to this tone, you know that the question is asking to tease Hernangomez.

"That's right, you'll definitely be blushing when you hear about my experience in the past two days." Seeing Hernangomez, Roy finally relaxed a little nervously, and his words immediately opened the conversation box of his teammates.

For a while, everyone stopped warming up and came over one by one to chat with Roy.

This group of teammates, from basketball to women, from the United States to aliens, from reality to fantasy, really asked all kinds of strange brain hypotheses on the Internet, and Roy played haha all the way, noncommittal, anyway, he didn't reveal half of the truth.

The bustling chat immediately attracted the dissatisfaction of Knicks head coach Hornacek, who released Malone with a big move, and the "postman" had to make everyone rush to warm up with an angry reprimand, and seeing that everyone was scattered, Rose spoke.

"Roy, where have you been in the past two days? I'm calling you and it's all off, are you okay? ”

"Don't worry, Derek (Rose), I did what I had to do."

"You're going to practice?" Rose frowned, and from Roy's tired expression, he seemed to have guessed something.

"Can I choose to keep it secret?" Seeing Roy's resolute eyes, Rose didn't ask any further.

After Ross left, Hornacek walked over with his hands behind his back and paced, looking a little unhappy with his expression.

"Roy, although you and I have taken a leave of absence, I should have said a long time ago that no one is allowed to miss the pre-match training session, right?"

"I understand, Coach."

"For the sake of fairness, I'll have to punish you for 200 shots in tomorrow's training session."

"No problem."

"If you can't win today's game, it's 300 sets."

"Jeff (Hornacek)." Roy showed a serious expression again, "If I lose today's game, I don't need you to say that I will consciously practice 500 sets of shooting drills." ”

500 sets? Was Roy kidding? With a little suspicion, Hornacek also went off.

And this scene just now did not escape Abby's eyes, she saw Roy enter the arena just now, and almost wanted to pounce with him directly, but fortunately, there was always no shortage of idlers around Roy, and she didn't give the Huo family's daughter a chance to make any out-of-the-ordinary moves.

To say that Abby has not been worried in the past two days must be false, Roy suddenly said goodbye, Abby at first thought that Roy was just angry for a while, just sleep, but I didn't expect Roy to really disappear like this. And as the rumors on the Internet spread more and more, the more and more true, Abby, who is forgiving, doesn't dare not think about it.

Abby remembers Roy's message when he left, "Can you give me a little time?" I may not be able to spend Christmas with you for the past two days", this sentence didn't sound like much at the time, but after all the rumors spread, Abby almost thought of something else.

Fortunately, Roy is finally back, and Roy is finally back completely.

Also rejoicing in Roy's return are Brin and Fraser, and ABC TV is also very serious about this Christmas game, not only inviting Knicks stars Jeff Van Gundy and Patrick Ewing as guests, but also starting a special program 2 hours before the game.

That's right, there are so many topics to discuss in this group of NBA veterans, including Roy's disqualification from the All-Star vote, speculation about Roy's whereabouts in the past two days, including the game outlook for the Knicks and Celtics, and so on.

Of course, the focus of everyone's talk is still Roy.

When it comes to the topic of "Roy was disqualified from All-Star voting", the four old rivers and lakes stood in two factions, the rule-abiding Bryn and Ewing believed that the league's decision was not wrong in terms of rules, although they were all fans of the Knicks, but from an objective point of view, if it wasn't for the league that opened the net and didn't punish Roy heavily, maybe Roy wouldn't even be eligible to play in the NBA, so Roy has nothing to complain about, of course, he did not complain about anything, because he was missing.

The emotional Fraser was firmly on Roy's side, believing that since the NBA had punished Roy before and allowed him to continue to play in the rest of the NBA after the suspension, it was a tacit acquiescence to the fact that Roy was a member of the NBA. In that case, there is no reason not to let Roy run for the NBA All-Star Game, and the only reason Adam Shaw made this decision was that he was worried that Roy's selection as a starter in the NBA All-Star Game would make the old NBA stars look bad, and this decision was not so much to punish Roy as to appease the old guys.

The three bigwigs all finished speaking, and finally focused on Van Gundy, surprisingly, the seemingly old-fashioned Van Gundy actually chose to support Roy, and his statement may be more acceptable. Van Gundy cites the example of Yao Ming, who squeezed out the surging Shaquille O'Neal as a rookie in his first year in the NBA to become the starting center in the West of the NBA All-Star Game, which also caused an earthquake in the basketball world at the time. But in any case, since the NBA All-Star Game is just an exhibition game, the most popular player should not be rejected, and Adam Shaw actually made a big mistake in handling this matter, forgetting the essence of the All-Star Game. However, Van Gundy believes that Roy's non-All-Star may also be a good thing, just like Yao Ming, who was booed by fans for being elected as the top pick and squeezing O'Neal to become an All-Star starter, and sometimes, adversity can bring out the potential of those real stars, and Roy is undoubtedly one of them......
