Chapter 811 - 811 273 Michael's Cleveland Revival Plan

811: 273: Michael’s Cleveland Revival Plan?

This is their secret to consecutive victories (Ask for monthly tickets!) 811: 273: Michael’s Cleveland Revival Plan?

This is their secret to consecutive victories (Ask for monthly tickets!) The Hawks easily defeated the Toronto Raptors, and under Roger’s primary defense, Canada’s flying man faced a Waterloo at home.

He couldn’t complete a slam dunk over Roger’s head, and his shooting was terrible, with a field goal rate of 8 for 20.

Carter himself didn’t provoke Roger, but the Toronto media stirred things up.

They praised Carter too much, so Roger presented Toronto fans with a tragedy.

The Raptors’ live commentators joked, “Today’s lesson is called: Stay humble before the god of basketball, even if you’re an alien piloting a UFO.”

Roger actually scored only 21 points in the whole game, compared to the 55 points in the last game, today’s performance was lackluster.

But 21 points were enough to take down the Raptors, the gap in strength between both sides was evident.

It’s worth noting that Michael Reed made 2 out of 4 three-pointers in this game, scoring a total of 6 points.

Reed’s performance didn’t significantly affect the outcome, but it’s a good start.

His ugly left-hand shooting started to find its touch, which is more important than those 6 points.

After the game, Vince Carter hugged Roger: “Really, Roger?

Can’t you let me dunk even once?

You’re too cruel.”

“I’d love to, I also enjoy watching your dunks, blame it on that low EQ bastard Big Ben.

Every time you break through, it’s that guy defending the most actively!”

Carter shook his head, “If I hadn’t actually played a game, I’d believe you!”

Roger’s defensive intensity was so great, he was practically eager to blow a hole in the UFO!

Don’t you know in your heart who’s the most aggressive defender?

Sure enough, top-tier players all excel at shifting blame, it’s a necessary skill.

The Hawks crushed another team effortlessly, with the current record being 23 wins and 5 losses.

Considering that 4 of those losses happened while Roger was recovering from injury, the actual record since Roger’s return is 19 wins and 1 loss!

At the press conference, when a reporter asked Roger if he was satisfied with the current record, Roger nonchalantly muttered, “Hmm, it’s not bad.”

This is a very perfunctory answer, and if such an answer were used in response to a girlfriend asking “How does this outfit look on me?” it would definitely lead to an immediate breakup.

Roger indeed was perfunctory because he doesn’t care about the numbers of the regular season record right now.

Roger has already achieved everything there is to achieve in the regular season: MVP, scoring king, historical-level regular season record, historical-level undefeated home record, everything you could ask for.

In the regular season, Roger has nothing left to pursue.

But where Roger differs from the Shaq is that Roger doesn’t want to lose casually, so he won’t completely give up or slack off in the regular season.

Even though achieving great results in the regular season doesn’t excite Roger much.

For Roger, winning in the regular season is as commonplace as changing supermodel girlfriends.

He won’t lose interest in changing girlfriends, but neither will he get too excited about switching to one with greater fame.

However, not everyone has Roger’s natural talent.

For most ordinary players, the regular season isn’t that easy.

After the game, in the locker room, Jeff Hornacek had his knee fluid extracted again.

Roger was also receiving a massage in the therapy room, so he witnessed the shocking scene.

A thin needle was inserted into the knee, and the syringe immediately drew out red liquid like blood, extracting a total of 52 milliliters of fluid from Hornacek’s knee.

Roger had never experienced knee fluid injuries, so he didn’t know how painful it was.

But according to those with such experience, it’s definitely a hellish torment.

Yet facing “hellish torment,” Hornacek, who seemed frail, didn’t scream.

He just closed his eyes, allowing sweat to drip from his forehead.

After finishing his massage, Roger sat down next to Jeff Hornacek: “If it doesn’t work, take a break for a few games, your knee is really scary.”

“No Roger, I’m doing fine.

Don’t worry, I used to do this often in Salt Lake City.

How to say it?

It’s actually not much different from drawing blood.” Hornacek replied with an easy smile.

Roger, the first to leave the therapy room after the massage, saw Hornacek’s smile gradually disappear after his departure.

The smile he just forced out because the pain was really unbearable.

After resting for a while, Jeff Hornacek limped out, enduring the pain.

Because it was an away game, the whole team had to take the bus back to the hotel together, so he didn’t want to rest too long and delay others.

Before leaving, Hornacek turned to ask the team doctor, “Will I have to spend my life in a wheelchair just to play basketball with my daughter?”

“Not quite, Jeff, but you’ve endured too much pain for this.

Maybe you should listen to Roger and take a break.”

“Would doing so relieve my injury?”

“Impossible, it can only make you feel better for a few days.

Your knee, to be frank Jeff, is like a rotten log, no matter how much you rest, it can’t possibly return to its original state.”

“Is that so?

Then there’s no need for rest, thanks doc.”

Hornacek pushed open the therapy room door, saw his teammates, and returned to his usual good-natured smile, trying hard to hide the limp in his walk.

After his knee fluid extraction, Jeff Hornacek always asked the team doctor if he would spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair, as if that’s the only thing he cared about.
