If you ask many players what they are sorry for, it must be an injury. If it weren't for injuries, many players would have touched the O 'Brien Cup as they wished. It is because of this regret that many retired players continue to influence the NBA in their own way, such as Huang Man and Barogi. If he is a fleeting meteor, it will also be the brightest star in the night sky.
1984 On July 23rd, brandon roy was born in Seattle, the largest city in Washington State in the northwest of the United States. This is a very ordinary family. Roy is the second child in the family. Like many people, poor life makes their family of six squeeze into a small apartment with only two bedrooms. Basketball is little Roy's greatest hobby. He begged his parents to find a lot of NBA videos for themselves, and used other children's time watching cartoons to watch NBA games over and over again in the videos, imitating the actions of the stars in a decent way. Little Roy is more sensible than his peers and his father will support him. He often goes to the abandoned basketball court with little Roy after work to show off the talent he has learned from videos, but the word frivolous never seems to appear in his childhood.
God gave Roy a gift, and he will get it back in other ways. Roy does whatever he wants on the basketball court, suffering from a rare dyslexia, and forgets the books he read in the blink of an eye. Although his exam results were not ideal, in the four-year talent show in the university, some universities selected him, making him the target in the eyes of scouts. In the sixth overall pick in the first round of 2006, Roy was selected by Minnesota Timberwolves, and then he exchanged clubs with randy foye, the defender selected by Portland Trailblazers in the seventh overall pick.
In the 2005-06 season, Portland Trailblazers fell to the bottom of the Western Conference with a record of 2 1 6 1 0. The average attendance rate of the Rose Garden Arena is only 65,438+05,049, and even the local news newspaper said that the Blazers' stadium was abandoned. Perhaps no one would have thought that after Christmas in 2006, a rookie player with poor physical fitness and unpretentious style would save the pioneers in from the mire. In just one season, Roy won the respect of Portland. He is honest and reliable, brave and fearless, dressed simply and without tattoos. Everyone knows that he is a different person.
Under the influence of Roy, the temperament of the Trailblazers began to conform to Roy's personal temperament-young, energetic and vigorous, which is not consistent with the average age. As the core of the team, Roy, with his tireless running, steady dribbling and skillful two-way breakthrough in attacking the basket, made the whole team full of vitality and ignited the enthusiasm of his teammates. Lead is washed away, and clumsiness is beautiful. Roy's trick is simple and simple, but the weather is strict. It's really perfect.
In the summer of 2009, Roy signed an early contract renewal with Portland Trailblazers, with five years and 82 million dollars, with the last year as a player option. In this way, pioneers have locked in the core of their future and the cornerstone of team building. But God will be jealous, and retribution will come soon. On April 10, the Trailblazers played the penultimate regular season game at Staples Arena. Roy was badly hit by meniscus tear with 5.5 minutes left in the second quarter, and his right knee was injured, which made the Trailblazers worse. Roy had to have his knee repaired.
In the summer of 20 10, Roy decided to completely remove the meniscus of the knee in order to cure the knee injury. In the next two months, Roy underwent two knee operations. Repeated surgical treatments have made Roy no longer the omnipotent full-back of10-1season. Roy, who is 27 years old and has the best career, is never afraid of any difficulties. From then on, he needs to summon up courage and face up to his scarred knee.
When the Trailblazers advanced to the playoffs, they met the Dallas Mavericks in the first round. Roy came off the bench in this six-game series. In the fourth game, Roy made 9 shots in 24 minutes 13 and scored 24 points, of which 18 points came from the fourth quarter. Roy almost reversed the 23-point difference by himself, leading the Blazers to beat the Mavericks to get a big score of 2-2. But who would have thought that such a wonderful performance became the last performance of Roy's career.
He didn't dare to risk the rest of his life in a wheelchair, and he didn't want to be a burden to the pioneers. When Roy announced his retirement decision, the team would not hesitate to support him, and the attitude of the boss Paul Allen never changed. Roy finally had enough time to get away from the stadium and re-examine his life.
The meteor flashed across the sky and disappeared into people's sight, but it was still burning, just in a different orbit. Just like Roy, his new chapter officially began.
In the spring of 20 16, Roy's name quietly reappeared in the basketball circle. This time, his role is not a player, but a coach. He picked up the coach of nathan hale High School in his hometown. Before he took over, the team's record last season was only 3 wins 18 losses. A few weeks after the start of the 16- 17 season, nathan hale High School ranks among the top 15 high schools in the United States, among which Michael Porter II is a promising star. 17- 18 season, Roy became the head coach of his alma mater Garfield high school. In two seasons, Roy led the team to an impressive record of 57 wins 1 loss.
Roy feels normal about his experience, but he will still help more people complete the league's highest glory trophy for him. He said in an interview: "When that moment really came, several veterans of the league and the team told me that although everyone's situation was different, they all felt the same about me. They told me not to care too much. Whether you are 37 or 27, it is very difficult to bid farewell to the NBA. This is a normal emotion. "
Speaking of Roy, Kobe once said, "There are 365 days in a year and 7 days in a week. Whenever you ask me, I will tell you that Brandon is a player without weakness. "
