Chapter 278
The Nets returned to New Jersey with a 3-3 total score.
It was another sleepless night. When Roy returned to his residence, it was already dawn.
The game and the journey were always exhausting. He just wanted to eat something and have a good sleep.
Feeling sore and weak all over, coupled with the turbulence on the plane, Roy opened the door of the house with dark circles under his eyes.
Aunt Zhang arrived at Roy's villa early in the morning.
After seeing Roy enter the house, she hurriedly asked Roy to sit down.
"I guessed you would come back this morning. I prepared everything last night. Now it's almost done. You have to eat more after the hard game!"
Roy looked at Aunt Zhang who was busy and his eyes were a little sore.
Roy, who lost his parents when he was young, rarely received such care.
His uncle was the kind of big A carefree person would not care about those small details at all.
His aunt has the same personality. The two of them would just deal with each other whenever they could.
It was the first time in his life that he met someone who took such good care of him like Aunt Zhang.
Roy's mind was still wandering.
Aunt Zhang had already brought all kinds of food to the table.
Steamed buns, porridge, fried dough sticks, soy milk, and even 4 fried dishes.
All of them were Roy's favorites.
"What are you looking at, kid? Eat quickly. It won't taste good if it gets cold. Last night's game was really thrilling. I'm still scared now."
After saying that, she asked Roy to sit down and gave him chopsticks.
"Auntie knows you're working hard, but Auntie can't help you much. I thought of making more food for you so that you can rest in peace. My friends around me say that you are the pride of the Chinese people. , Auntie is so happy, you are bringing glory to the country!"
Auntie Zhang gave Roy a thumbs up,
while putting food into Roy's bowl, her eyes full of love,
"Eat more, you athletes need to supplement your nutrition, Auntie can't do anything but cook, when I applied for your job, I thought you were still a student, I didn't expect you to be so successful, making Auntie feel honored."
Roy ate the breakfast prepared by Auntie Zhang in big mouthfuls, it was less than 7 o'clock, it can be imagined that Auntie Zhang must be very hard,
"Auntie Zhang, don't just watch, you should eat too, you must not have eaten so early.
After Roy's repeated invitations, the two had a pleasant breakfast,
Roy was going to help clean up, but was driven out of the kitchen by Auntie Zhang,
Roy was also very sleepy, after entering the bedroom, he took a shower He fell asleep immediately.
This time he was really exhausted.
…
When he opened his eyes again, he looked out the window. The sun was already setting, and the sunset glow in the sky was very beautiful.
After getting up and washing up, Roy found something in the refrigerator, ate a few bites and planned to go out.
Because there was a banquet dinner for Kidd in the evening,
Roy didn't ask Aunt Zhang to cook dinner.
After changing into a casual suit, he notified his assistant to pick him up downstairs and take him to the banquet venue.
The place Kidd booked was a luxurious villa, and everything was ready.
On the lawn, everything was ready for the banquet,
from the banquet layout to the professional chef, as well as drinks and music, as well as the beautiful scenery, the open-air swimming pool, and all kinds of beauties playing in the swimming pool.
The banquet went smoothly and was very sumptuous.
After having enough wine and food, Roy led his teammates to enjoy the vast night sky and chat.
After this period of recovery, Kidra's injury has improved significantly.
He basically doesn't need crutches or a wheelchair, and can move normally if he is careful. However, when he moves quickly, his ankle joint still hurts like a needle.
In the fourth quarter of the last game, he asked the team doctor to let him play but was ruthlessly rejected.
Although the team won a thrilling victory, seeing his teammates' helpless performance on the court and Roy's difficult every attack made him feel guilty.
"I decided to come back in the next game no matter what,"
He felt that he had to do something for the team, as long as his decision to play could relieve the pressure on his teammates.
Today, he held a dinner party partly to reward the players for their hard work in the last game, and the other part was to seek the opinions of his teammates and let them support his comeback plan. The team collectively pleaded with the head coach,
Because the two key factors that are currently stuck in remembering to pay are the head coach and the team doctor,
Kidd has made plans for the team doctor, but the head coach Frank is not so easy to talk to. Although he knows that the head coach is for his own good,
but watching his teammates fighting on the court, he can only be a cheerleader off the courtTeammates, when teammates need you the most, you can only watch helplessly on the sidelines and do nothing.
This is undoubtedly more painful than killing yourself. As early as the last moment of the last game, Kidd had secretly made up his mind.
In the next game, he must play no matter what, and must advance and retreat with his teammates no matter what!
Looking at the doubtful eyes of his teammates,
"You have to help me. You all know Frank. He is as hard as a rock. He is a roadblock on my road to comeback. You have to help me persuade him."
Carter hesitated for a moment, picked up the beer and took a sip,
"Jason, I know you are anxious, but don't worry. We all know that your injury has not healed completely. The career is long and short. You have to cherish your body. Not being able to participate in the finals this time does not mean that you can't in the future!"
Kidd shook his head and said firmly:
"I understand what you said, but I think this may be my only chance in this life. I am 33 years old and there is not much time left for me."
Kidd is now at the tail end of his peak. In the original time history, it was also from this After one season, he slowly went downhill, from an All-Star to an ordinary role player.
If he hadn't joined the Mavericks later, Kidd might not have won any championship in his life.
The sense of urgency of age prompted him to make one last effort in his remaining peak state, even if it cost him his entire career.
After all, he is not a time traveler, and he doesn't know if he will have a chance to win the championship later. His thoughts now are understandable.
As a player of his level, he has already won the honors he should have won, and he has almost earned the money he should have earned.
The only thing left is the lack of honor, which is also his motivation to fight.
The predecessors have too many painful lessons, which led to empty hands.
Kidd obviously doesn't want to follow in the footsteps of Stockton, Gary Payton and others. (According to the original history, Payton would not join the Heat until next year to win the championship)
When the teammates failed to persuade him, they had to agree to Jide's request and ask the head coach for mercy.
Roy wanted to refuse, but looking at the eyes of veteran Kidd, he couldn't say anything.
The championship has become his obsession. Roy himself is not sure of winning the next game. In this case, he might as well take him to fight once!
