Roy: "Yellow Mamba" with wings, her talent is ruthlessly swallowed by injuries

In the history of the NBA, there are always some stars who are talented and should have shined with brilliant light, but failed to realize their full potential for various reasons. Brandon Roy is one of them.

In 2006, the Portland Trail Blazers took a keen eye in the draft and selected Brandon Roy with the No. 6 draw. Since then, a new star has risen in the alliance. Roy was selected as the best rookie in 2007 for his outstanding performance, and since then, between 2008 and 2010, he was named to the All-Stars three times in a row, twice in the NBA’s All-Squad, becoming the most dazzling presence in the league.

At its peak, Roy had a steady and lethal style. His breakthrough rhythm is like a ghostly scalpel, always tearing a hole in the opponent's tight defense; his mid-range jump shot is as stable as a rock, and he often cuts his throat with one sword at critical moments. The nickname of "Huang Mamba" is a high recognition of his strength and is definitely not a false reputation. At that time, he averaged 18.8 points per game and had become the core of the Trail Blazers and a strong contender for the league's top shooting guard.

However, fate played a cruel joke on the talented star. In 2011, Roy, who was only 27, had to make a difficult decision to retire due to severe wear and tear on both knees. The doctor found that there was almost no cartilage buffer between his knees, and every step he took was accompanied by a piercing pain. Not to mention fighting on the fierce field, even daily walking became a luxury.

This key gentleman who scored 5 points in a countdown period when he was the final killer of the Mavericks had unlimited possibilities and was expected to become one of the top shooting guards in the West and lead the Trail Blazers to a higher peak. But the ruthless injury ruthlessly crushed his basketball dream and freeze him in the rising period forever. The story of Roy made countless fans feel sorry for it. His talent, his skills, should have left more legends in the NBA field. But injury, the force majeure, has become an insurmountable gap in his basketball career. Brandon Roy, the "Yellow Mamba" who has failed to fully realize his talent, still left a deep mark in the hearts of fans. His short and glorious career has become a touching chapter in basketball history.
