Legend Roy
Preface
If a seagull loses its wings, it cannot soar above the sea. If a player's knee loses cartilage (meniscus), every game is when the player is fighting against his own injuries, while Roy is a full 6 years, fighting against his knee without cartilage. Every time I talk about him, a lot of NBA fans feel very sorry. Assuming he's not injured, how great he should be, and whether he can lead the Blazers to a championship. Even so, playing only 6 seasons, he still proves that he is a legend, he is brandon Roy who lost the cartilage of both knees.

【Achilles' Heel】
Roy became the offensive core and spiritual leader of the University of Washington in his senior year, and in the 2005-2006 season, as the core of the team, Roy led the University of Washington to a record of 26 wins and 7 losses in the NCAA Championship, helping the team reach the NCAA Round of 16 for two consecutive years. Roy averaged 20.2 points and 4.1 assists per game and was named the Pacific Top 10 Player of the Year
Roy University is the core of the team
At this time, Roy wants to use the excellent performance of the ncaa as a springboard for the NBA draft. That's true, of course, but four years of college competition has already overwhelmed Roy's knees.
Roy in college, and funny little potatoes
During college time, Roy had meniscus surgery on both knees because of competitions. The meniscus is located in the joint cavity between the calf bones of the thigh bone and acts as a cushion. Once the meniscus is broken due to external force, then every step you take after that, the fragments will be squeezed out from the middle, and the edge of the crack is not neat, which will make you very painful. The general surgical practice is to remove small pieces, leaving the largest and most complete, and grind the edges smoothly, although this is still not as good as before the injury, but it can still be used to some extent. What Roy did not expect was that this meniscus surgery directly affected his career.
Roy if he's healthy...
【Trailblazers and Roy】
It's the Blazers again, and sometimes I wonder if the Blazers are really an injury nursing home, and the shadow of injuries seems to cover the Blazers' reluctance to leave. In the 2006 NBA Draft, the Timberwolves were selected by the Timberwolves with the sixth pick in the first round and were subsequently traded to the Blazers. Roy, who has been training for many years, doesn't seem to need to adapt at all, scoring 20 points in the first game. People who watch Roy play will be in between games and can't help but sigh, "This player can really play."
Roy's style of play is reasonable
Roy's style of play is two words - reasonable. His shots weren't flustered, and his pass may not have been as pleasant, but his teammates were in an empty position when they received the ball. Roy's bodyside stats are higher than Wade's, but when you look at him, you don't think Roy is fast.
Roy was faster than Wade, didn't see it
Roy's cleverness lies in the rhythm, he doesn't need to use the speed to speed up the course of the game, the combination of fast and slow is his way to survive.
Roy's rookie season stats
Roy didn't play full this season, playing only 57 games due to injury, and in 35.4 minutes of playing time, he could get 16.8 points, 4.4 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.18 steals. Even though he didn't make enough appearances, Roy still won the best rookie of the season with a perfect performance.
Regular season rookie of the season
I don't want to go on writing because Roy's first season is gone, and Roy only has 6 seasons.
【0.8 Second Kill】
In the 2007-2008 season, Roy played in 74 games this season, averaging 19.1 points, 4.7 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game.
Roy scored rebounds and assisted steals in the 2008 season
At this time, Roy not only became the Blazers' star, but also became the league's recognized scoring guard who could succeed Kobe. At this time, Roy has shown a perfect big picture view and mature leadership temperament, his offensive area covers this three-point line area without dead ends, and a strong sense of responsibility can also make him work hard in defense.
The leadership is outstanding
At this time, Roy was missing only one game that went down in history. And this moment did not make the fans wait too long. On November 6, 2008, the Blazers played at home against yao's Rockets. In the final moments of the game, Yao Ming received the ball on the bottom line and hit a back-back shot, and the Rockets led by 1 point at 99-98, at this time there were only 0.8 seconds left in the game, and the shot was only theoretically possible. At that time, I was still thinking that Yao Ming finally had a kill in his career. No one expected that Roy did not give up the game, he received the ball near half of the three-point shot, the arc of the ball was very high into a rainbow.
0.8s Kill Rocket
Roy killed the Rockets, and this double-kill game also became Roy's classic, and Yao Ming also lost the only kill of his career. Since then, people have begun to refer to Roy more as Yellow Mamba, because this performance has only been done by Kobe In the past.
【Rose Bloom】
Not wrong, many people think that only Rose is a rose. In fact, Roy's career has also been beautiful like a rose, delicate but blooming for a short time. This season, Roy's offensive efficiency is as high as 115, ws value 37.4, per value 20, and Roy's full-game attack without dead ends also makes it impossible for opponents to limit his scoring.
08 season Roy fire cover map
The 2008-2009 season was arguably Roy's most complete season, with 78 appearances and an average of 37 minutes per game.
It turns out that a healthy Roy can lead the Trailblazers out of the world. This season, Roy averaged 22.6 points, 5.1 assists and 4.7 rebounds per game in the regular season, successfully leading the Blazers into the playoffs. This season also produced a number of classic Roy games. On February 2, 2008, the Blazers played at home to the New York Knicks, and the home team still trailed by 6 points in the first three quarters, but Roy stepped forward to lead the Blazers to tie the score to 81 in the final moments of the fourth quarter! Roy's game allowed people to see his all-rounder, cutting 20 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists, completing the "first triple-double" of his NBA career, leading the team to play a 13-7 shockwave in overtime, and finally reversing the victory.
Scored a triple-double against the New York Knicks
Many times to test a superstar, not only to see his offense but also to see his defense. That's why Harden's league number one point guard so far has not been recognized by everyone. Jordan, Kobe Bryant and Wade are not only on the offensive end, but also on the defensive end they will not spare any opponent like hungry beasts. The same is true of Roy at the top. On January 28, 2008, the Blazers played at home against the Hawks, and Roy played a classic defensive reversal to win.
Roy vs Kobe Bryant
In the last 2 minutes and 47 seconds of the game, Roy's defense forced the opponent to make 2 mistakes, covered the opponent's shot, one person cut 8 points, and the opponent missed 1 goal, and finally the Blazers thrillingly won the opponent with 94-93 points. In the ensuing game against the Wizards, Roy gave another 10 steals defensive performance. So far, when talking about those 2 games, Roy is very proud, and he has talked about that game countless times. Those successful defensive performances have satisfied him even more than his high-scoring performances.
Desperate
This season is destined to be Roy's legendary season – "52 points"! Scoring is the duty of a shooting guard, and on December 19, 2008, Roy completed his mission. The Blazers host the Suns.
The Suns completed the offense in 6 seconds
Roy faced O'Neal, Stadmar Jr. and Nash with 52 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 block, overshadowing the 57 points scored by the three Hall of Famers. The Blazers also ended up winning 124-119 against the Suns. This season, Roy was successfully named to the All-Star Team. Playoffs against the Rockets, ultimately 2-4 defeat. Roy averaged 26.7 points per game, and Roy's rose-like season came to an end.
【82 million injuries】
In August 2009, the Trail Blazers signed a five-year, $82 million contract with Roy. If you stay healthy, Roy's contract should be considered good and cheap. In the 2009-2010 season, the Blazers' roster looked beautiful, center Oden, Fernandez, who could jump better than blacks, and batum, the top 3D player.
Auden and Roy could have ruled the alliance
Such a lineup can be said to be the level of the league's top 4. But it was still injury, and the Blazers' inescapable injury ruined such a talented team.
White people can also fly - Fernandez
3D player Batum
Roy can actually play leisurely this season, but there is no way, the team's large-scale injuries force him to go all out. In the opener against the Rockets, the enemy of last year's playoffs, Roy scored 42 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists.
Roy's final peak season
This season, Roy was both a dad and a mom, averaging 65 appearances per game, with 21.5 points, 4.4 rebounds and 4.7 assists. Roy still led the injured Trail Blazers to the playoffs, but at the cost of tearing the meniscus. The Blazers can give up this season, after all, Roy is still young, think about the past Hardaway, don't let Roy be the next Hardaway. But the Trail Blazers still haven't listened to the lessons of the past. At the end of the 2010 season, Roy, who had just completed surgery on his right knee, made a comeback in the playoffs. In the 2010-2011 season, Roy lost two knees on the meniscus.
The final dance
【Instant Fireworks】
The Playoffs on April 23, 2011, was perhaps the final closing of Roy's career. Trail Blazers trailed the Mavericks by 23 points, roy dragged two legs without a meniscus in the fourth quarter, cut 24 points, and scored 18 points in the fourth quarter to stage a 23-point comeback. The Trail Blazers fans were in tears, and they were all thinking, if Roy is in good health...
Healthy Roy is the darling of the All-Stars
On June 23, 2013, Roy announced his retirement. I don't want to call him Huang Mamba, after all he is the only one. Blazers fans will remember a team's best team, and I'm sure Roy will rightfully occupy the point guard position.
