One Guard

When Roy saw Yiyang pushed to the bottom line, he almost thought he had succeeded. Yiyang didn't have any space to shoot, so he could only choose to shoot the ball from behind the backboard.

What are the chances of this ball scoring? In other words, what are the chances of a rookie scoring in this situation? Anyway, from Roy's point of view, it is impossible for Yiyang to succeed!

However, under such a difficult situation, the ball that Yiyang threw from behind the backboard fell into the net hollow!

"Boom!" Roy's knees suddenly softened, and he knelt under the basket.

"We succeeded, too!" Beside Roy, there were excited Mavericks players.

Nowitzki was the first to rush up and landed on Yiyang who was lying on the wooden floor after finishing the kill. After that, it was Marion, Peja, Kidd, Stevenson... These Dallas Cowboys stacked Rohan next to Roy.

Mu Ran hurriedly took out his camera and took a picture of this contrasting scene.

On one side was Roy who knelt and covered his face in pain after the failure. On the other side, there was the Maverick who was ecstatic and whose life was hanging by a thread just now.

This group of photos will undoubtedly become one of the classics in NBA history. Of course, Mu Ran also knew that this moment, representing Roy's moment, was completely over.

Facing the 10-11 season with plummeting data, Roy's knees were in a state of swelling almost every day, until the menisci were removed from both knees. The doctor told him that from now on, every day from now on, you will have to live with the stinging pain of bone wear and tear. To be on the safe side, you should stop playing, otherwise...

Otherwise, you may not be able to walk in the future!

So, should you listen to your doctor? Obviously, for Roy, who is just 27 years old and is in his prime, he must not want to hear it.

So, when he endured the pain today and was about to create a miracle of a 23-point comeback, his knee had already reached the point where it could not be saved. But the saddest thing is that the miracle didn't happen...

Roy gave his all, he had no way out, and he didn't even care if it cost him his entire career. That miracle, Roy has even touched it. Only in the end, the Chinese boy from Wood District gave Roy a cruel ending.

The NBA is like this, either you die or I live. If you are kind to your opponent, you are cruel to yourself. If today's winner is Roy, wouldn't it be another kind of cruelty for the Mavericks who led by 23 points and were reversed?

Roy just knelt on the spot, feeling the sharp pain from his knees. He knew that his time had come. Beside him was the Mavericks laughing together. Just once, Roy thought, switching positions with the Mavericks...

"It was an unbelievable game! The two sides didn't decide the winner until the last second! But for the Blazers and Roy, it was too cruel. However, the playoffs are like that. Performance There can be many outstanding people, but there will always be only one winner." Although the game was over, Kenny Smith couldn't calm down for a long time.

When Yiyang chose to shoot the basketball from behind the backboard, he thought the game would definitely be dragged into overtime. However, this difficult shot was still hit.

You know, Yiyang only scored 14 points in the entire game today. Not counting the lore, Yiyang only scored 12 points before. Even when the condition is not very good,

It was when Nowitzki, the head star, couldn't catch the ball. Yiyang, a first-year rookie from China, kills the game.

You don't have to think about how much impact this will have tomorrow. No, perhaps one hour after the end of this match, Yiyang's name will sweep the world!

Slowly, Yiyang's teammates got up one by one, leaving only Yiyang lying on the ground.

They stretched out their hands to Yiyang one after another, and Yiyang smiled, then grabbed the forearms of his teammates, and finally stood up.

He looked around, and there were not many Trail Blazers fans in the stands. As for Brandon Roy, he has also been supported by his teammates.

At the scene, in the Rose Garden Arena, only the winners are left, only the Mavericks!

At this moment, Carlisle finally squeezed into the crowd and gave Yiyang a big hug. Yesterday, Yiyang was still a child who was overwhelmed by outside public opinion. Today, the kid saved the team.

Carlisle is very grateful to Yiyang. Without his joining, the Mavericks may not be so smooth this season. The movement of the two hugging each other lasted for more than ten seconds. If Yiyang didn't feel that he was out of breath, Carlisle might not be willing to part.

"Now, do you know the difference between wanting to win and being afraid of losing?" After releasing Yiyang, Carlisle put a hand on Yiyang's shoulder and asked.

As usual, Yiyang didn't speak, just nodded slightly.

"When you can take all the losses, that's when you dominate the game."

Yiyang used to like Jordan's words very much. But today, Yiyang really experienced the meaning of this sentence. This is like a key that unlocks the lock in Yiyang's heart.

The reporters who like to confront Yiyang may be disappointed, because from now on, their remarks will no longer be able to affect Yiyang's state on the basketball court...

※※※

With the support of Aldridge and Miller Sr., Roy limped towards the locker room.

Scored 18 points in the final quarter, almost leading the team to complete a 23-point comeback. All the scenes on the field just now flashed through Roy's mind.

But looking at it again, the current me needs someone to support me even when I walk. Every friction between the bones of the knee caused Roy to suffer great pain.

In the last quarter just now, Roy contributed his last bit of health. The number 7, who was still wearing a wet jersey, knew that everything was really over.

"Hey, it's okay, buddy. We're... we just had bad luck today." Aldridge comforted Roy while comforting himself. "For the next game, you rest. We will definitely bring the battlefield back to Portland!"

Roy smiled, his eye sockets seemed a little moist. The guy was staring at the white light bulbs on the ceiling in the tunnel because he'd read in the newspaper that looking directly at the lights could stop the tears.

"Do you know what I want most now?" Roy finally spoke after a long time.

"Advance to the second round! Believe me, man, we can do it! A 3-1 reversal, this kind of thing has happened before!" Aldridge said this on purpose, in fact he knew, yes As far as Roy is concerned, this season is basically over. His knees are worn out...

“No, that’s not what I’m hoping for. I’m hoping I’ll be able to go back to the Rose Garden one day and shoot a few baskets, no one’s there, just me and the basket. In memory, dance the last dance with this arena." Roy replied softly, even with a smile on his face. He already has nothing, he no longer has to be afraid of losing.

"No, buddy...no..." After hearing Roy finish, Aldridge couldn't hold back. Fortunately, there are no reporters now, otherwise the scene of Aldridge crying will definitely hit the headlines.

"Come on guys, I know my body. I've...I've quit."

This night in the Rose Garden, it seems that there is not only joy after winning. Here, too, is full of bitterness.

An hour later, when Yiyang took a shower and changed clothes and walked out of the arena to return to the hotel where he was staying with his teammates, he suddenly stopped and looked back at the rose garden.

At night, the gigantic building appears as a huge shadow. The big characters of Rose Garden are not beautiful, what is beautiful is a huge poster hanging outside the arena.

On the poster, Roy, wearing a white jersey, is holding a basketball and smiling. This smile is very warm, and it is easy for people to feel a sense of trust in Roy. In fact, the "Yellow Mamba" never disappoints.

Seeing that Yiyang couldn't walk anymore, Kidd took the initiative to go up to Yiyang, and looked up at Roy's huge poster with him.

"I know what you're thinking, boy. But, this is Brandon Roy's story. Not perfect, but very beautiful."

"Well... let's go, Jason." Yiyang withdrew his gaze, but left behind his respect for Roy.

"Let's go back to Dallas, let's end all this cruelty." Putting his arms on Yiyang's shoulders, Kidd and Yiyang walked slowly towards the Mavericks' bus.
