And this scene made the New York fans at the venue erupt in boos.
Roger, it’s Roger again!
Why is it that every defeat for New York always involves damn Roger!
This lead allowed the Patriots to kill the ga; the New York Giants still had hope of taking over in the last minute, but the Patriots were incredibly focused, ultimately enduring with a lead until the end of the ga.
At that mont, Roger’s heart was shaken; he changed the final outco of the 2008 Super Bowl, and his influence was even more terrifying than he thought.
Kevin Garnett smashed the cup of cola in his hand: "Damn it, just a little bit, shit! Shit!"
"It seems the curse hasn’t been broken. Kevin Spike Lee is not a coward; he’s truly a wise guy." Roger smiled and patted Garnett’s shoulder.
"Co on, Roger, I’ll do it with the Knicks myself!"
"Do you think I would let my last season end with regrets? You can wait until I retire to win the championship. But as long as I’m here, that’s impossible, Kevin."
"Ha, talk again after you’ve gotten past the Los Angeles Lakers." Kevin Garnett said, suddenly realizing sothing, staring at Roger in shock.
Following that, Tom Brady and his Patriots lifted the trophy at Phoenix University Stadium.
In his acceptance speech, he ntioned Roger: "Without him, I think I should be regretting a defeat now; his conversation with the night before the ga was very important. I consider him not only the basketball GOAT, but the GOAT of North Arican professional sports. No, considering he took China’s only Olympic gold dal in basketball, he can be called the world’s sports GOAT! Thank you, my friend!"
The entire crowd of New York fans booed; they practically loathed Roger, their hatred even surpassing the trophy-lifting Tom Brady.
Because Tom Brady’s words proved one thing: New York’s defeat was again related to Roger!
The cara zood into the VIP seating area, where Roger, the curse of New York, was looking at the New York fans booing him with a disdainful gaze.
Beside him, Kevin Garnett looked like he had seen so divine presence, shocked.
Nobody knew what happened, nobody knew why Kevin Garnett was wearing such an expression.
Kevin Garnett’s eyes widened; although from the woj report of Roger’s retirent, everyone treated it as the last season. But hearing this news from Roger’s lips, Garnett was still a bit in disbelief.
"Man, really? This is your last season?"
"Absolutely true, I’ve played for 15 years, Kevin. When I entered the league, I was just an inexperienced high school kid like you once were. But now, I’m about to enter middle age, I can’t play forever."
"Shit, I knew woj wouldn’t be wrong. If you lose in the finals this sumr, will you retire too?"
"I will, that ans I failed, so I’ll retire just the sa. But you know, that won’t happen."
"This doesn’t seem like you, Roger, why would you think of retiring, weren’t you always about competition?"
"People change, actually now I feel like being plain and simple is best. A cottage, two acres of land, a puppy, a cup of hot tea, tens of billions in savings, that’s enough."
"I...", Garnett was listening intently but was amused by the last sentence, "You asshole."
Soon, Garnett adjusted his mood, glanced at the celebrating Patriots: "In June, I won’t let the New York Giants’ tragedy happen at Madison Square Garden. I, Dwyane, and Yao, we’ll take the crown over your head ourselves. But no matter what, Roger, thank you."
"Huh?"
"Without you, that confused little boy might not have adapted to the NBA life so quickly. Without your guidance, maybe I wouldn’t have decided to go to New York, very lucky to play in the sa era as you."
After finishing, Garnett embraced Roger.
Roger patted his shoulder: "Even if you say so, I still won’t let you win."
"Just wait, I’ll leave you with the most unforgettable finale."
"Hey, you just said I couldn’t beat the Lakers."
Garnett’s response was very discontenting: "Co on, if LeBron can beat you, I’ll damn announce retirent too."
The next day, Tom Brady gave his Super Bowl MVP to Roger.
Not a trade, a gift.
He considered Roger the most valuable player who didn’t play.
At the sa ti, the NBA officially announced the 2008 All-Star Ga starting lineup, with Roger leading the votes into the starting lineup.
Concurrently, Roger topped the MVP rankings.
Roger led the scoring chart.
The Warriors topped the record chart.
He is so outstanding, dominating all lists, dominating the news and topics of the entire sports world.
Just before the All-Star Ga started, Roger also announced the already not-secret secret.
At this point, covering one’s ears to steal the bell held no aning.
At the All-Star dia eting in New Orleans, he was ready to tell the world the news of his impending retirent.
He had prepared a speech, ghostwritten by Bill Simmons, full of humor and vivid taphors. Not to ntion, it was a very high-level speech.
But looking at that complex text, Roger folded the script and put it into his suit pocket, then scanned the circle of reporters below.
"My NBA career will end after this season; I’ll leave with an MVP, 70 wins, and the 12th championship."
Hmm, that felt much better.
That’s Roger.
It’s not hard to imagine the reaction of the reporters, because the weight of Roger’s words was akin to the mont in the "Iron Man" movie where Tony Stark said in front of reporters, "I am Iron Man."
The entire sports world was shaken at that mont.
And the the of this season was officially led by Roger alone.
