On January 9, Beijing time, the Warriors officially released the news, announcing that the long wait was finally coming to an end, and the team's guard Klay Thompson officially returned. That means he will make a comeback after 941 days off the field and play tomorrow for the Warriors in a home game against the Cavaliers.
This is great news for Klay and the Warriors, and even for all fans. In the past two years, Clay has experienced injuries with torn cruciate ligaments and ruptured Achilles tendons, which has put his comeback time on indefinite hold and his return this season. Now, as the official says, the long wait is really coming to an end, and Clay is really coming back this time! To this end, Clay also expressed his position through his personal social media account, saying that he would like to look forward to how he will catch his prey tomorrow, and is very excited to see everyone tomorrow and dry up together.
Clay's social media messages have been viewed by nearly 800,000 people and more than 200,000 likes in just two hours. This also includes his teammates Curry and Dream Green. Clay's return is undoubtedly exciting, and his teammates are also the first to express their position to celebrate his return.
The first is Curry, who immediately posted via social media saying that my brother's return has put me on the path of memories and let me hear all of your memories about Clay. At the same time, Curry also adopted a funny image of Clay as his social media account avatar, welcoming Clay back in a funny way. The "Splash Brothers" reunited after two and a half years, and this scene is undoubtedly very exciting.
Dream Green is also very excited about Clay's return. He posted several stories on social media accounts and likened Clay to Kobe. He said that the players who could endure the tearing pain and still insist on free throws, except for Klay, he had only seen Kobe Bryant. He said he couldn't sleep, and with a photo with Clay, he said he couldn't wait to come to the training ground. In the end, he welcomed Clay back and let everyone do a big job.
Head coach Kerr gave a public interview after today's Warriors training session about Clay's comeback. Cole first quipped that he forgot to ask Clay if he would make a comeback tomorrow. Then he said vaguely that the best way to taste tea is not my announcement and decision, and it is best for you to pick up your phone and pay attention. Apparently, Cole has already made a preview of Clay's comeback for everyone.
For Clay's comeback, Kerr likened the sentiment to Jordan's return to the Bulls' training ground after his first retirement. This is undoubtedly a high evaluation of Clay. But Cole said he wouldn't let Clay bear much in the first place and didn't want him to play too long as he came back. But to be sure, he wouldn't let a player with 60 points in 29 minutes play as a substitute, which also confirmed Clay's starting position.
From the relevant news released by the media, it can be seen that Clay has maintained an excellent outside feel, he earlier in the training field 11 shots 10, 43 seconds to score 12 points. But because of the long absence, he naturally needed a certain amount of time to adapt to the rhythm of the field. But in any case, as long as Clay can get back to the game, that's what fans want to see most. Let's look forward to Clay's return to the first game.
