After suffering a ruptured cruciate ligament in the Finals against the Raptors in 2019, Klay Thompson had expected a comeback last season, but he suffered a torn Achilles tendon in the offseason, which also made Clay not appear in the NBA for two consecutive seasons. Although it has been determined that he will usher in a comeback this season, according to previous media reports, Clay's earliest comeback time will be at Christmas, and it is even likely to return to the beginning of January to return to the field, but recently according to ESPN's name in the show, Clay's earliest comeback time will be On December 21 or 24. In both games, the Warriors are sitting at their home Chase Center, against the Grizzlies and Kings.
However, whether it is against the Grizzlies or the Kings may depend on the specific situation, but as far as Klay is concerned, he may still hope to make a comeback in the game against the Kings on the 24th, because this team was once the background board for his miracle of cutting 37 points in a single quarter, dating back to January 24, 2015, when the Warriors were in the regular season against the Kings, Klay was 13 of 13 in the third quarter, 9 of 9 in three-pointers, 2 of 2 in free throws, and slashed 37 points without hesitation. Breaking the previous record of 33 points in a single quarter held by Iceman George Gervin and Cameron Anthony, Klay also went into nowhere throughout the game, scoring a career-high 52 points. So after 6 years, Clay also hopes to regain confidence in this background cricket team and make a good start for his new season.
Due to Klay's injury, the Warriors have not been able to reach the playoff stage in the past two seasons, but after the Warriors ushered in a major reinforcement this season, they also temporarily ranked first in the West with a record of 9 wins and 1 losses, which laid a solid foundation for Klay's return. The 33-year-old Curry, who is still in hot form this season, can average 27.6 points, 6.6 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game, under his leadership, the Warriors are currently in the scoring (115.2 points), assists (30.3 times) and three-point shooting rate (38%), The number of three-point shots (16.2 times), are high in the league first, such a terrible firepower, but also let people see a little of the terror dominance of the Previous Golden State Dynasty, to know that the warriors' two core Wiseman and Klay Thompson have not yet returned, but they can still play such a strong competitiveness in the case of such a lack of major generals, if these two can really return with blood, the Warriors' offensive firepower may usher in further improvement.
The 31-year-old Klay Thompson, as early as 11 years with the first round of the 11th pick selected by the Warriors, has been playing in this team, and the Warriors in order to cultivate him, do not hesitate to give up the career-best performance of Darrell Wright, and Klay did not live up to the trust of the team, relying on accurate three-pointers and good defense, gradually gained a foothold in the league, since the 14-15 season, Clay has scored 5 consecutive times to break through 20+, 18-19 season, that is, the most recent year of Clay's debut in the NBA, He was selected for the best defensive second team, not only maintaining a super high accuracy outside the three-point line, but also a gate that Kerr relied on on on the defensive end.
Although it has not been possible to appear in the NBA for 2 years, Clay is still very popular in this Warriors, and recently Warriors owner Lacob talked about Clay's upcoming comeback in an interview with KNBR Radio: "It was the most emotional day since I bought the team, everyone knows that I have special feelings for Clay, I can't let Clay go anywhere else, I love Clay. This also makes fans shout directly, the Warriors boss is really the first person to "worship the Buddha" (Clay nicknamed Buddha). In fact, this is not the first time that Lacob has praised Clay so much, as early as the sixth game of the 16-year playoffs with the Warriors in the West Finals, Clay Tianshen slashed 41 points in 18 three-pointers to help the team successfully win the game, after the game, Lacob directly knelt down to worship Tang Shen, and the sixth game of the Western Conference Finals with the Rockets in 18 years was Tang Shen's 9 three-pointers to help the Warriors win the life and death battle, Lacob did not spare his knees, and knelt down to Clay again.
When the boss kneels down to the migrant boy, you know that this "migrant boy" is really not an ordinary person, this time after two years to return to the field, will Clay still use the king as a background board, and break the record again? Let's wait and see.
