Let's turn back the clock to the Oracle Arena in Oakland, California, on June 14, 2019, the last time the stadium served, and the game that was being held that day was the sixth game between the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors in the 2018-19 NBA Finals, after the Raptors led 3:2, and as long as the game won, they would win the championship for the first time in team history, which is obviously undesirable to the Warriors who aspire to create a dynasty
As a result, everyone knows that the Raptors 114:110 Lux Warriors, with an aggregate score of 4:2 successfully lifted the O'Brien Cup, but more than the loss of the championship, the Warriors fans are more worried about the team's second boss Klay Thompson's injury, after the game, Clay was diagnosed with a torn front cruciate ligament in the left knee, directly missing all the games of the 2019-20 season
On October 2, 2020, Thompson, who was recovering from injury, announced that he would participate in team training, which was the second time he had stepped on the team's training ground after 476 days. However, something happened that caught the outside world off guard, and just over a month later Thompson suffered another injury on the court, this time a torn Achilles tendon in his right leg
For the Warriors, this is undoubtedly a disaster, and Thompson, who has just cultivated for a season, is reimbursed for the season again, directly missing the 2020-21 season. Unable to play due to injury for two consecutive years, Thompson has suffered unimaginable blows
"Fate can never bring down a man who has the courage to fight", and finally, after 941 days, Klay Thompson, one of the greatest goalscorers of this era, is finally coming back to compete! On January 10, 9:30 Beijing time, the Warriors home to meet the Cavaliers on the "riding war", Thompson will usher in the season debut, this is also his first time in the Warriors' new home Chase Center game, it is reported that the maximum ticket price of this showdown has grown to $14,000 a piece, two and a half years have not seen, it seems that everyone also missEss Thompson immensely
With Thompson's comeback, the NBA seems to be back to the era of superstars and competition. West — The older and more demon-like Paul forms the core framework of the Sun with Booker and Ayton, Phoenix is reborn; the "Splash Brothers" and Green, who have reunited after two and a half years, have re-emerged from the once terrifying Warrior Dynasty; the great Los Angeles Lakers and James, even if one has a poor record and a 37-year-old, are still the focus of the entire league; Mitchell and Gobert are continuing to write the glory of Stockton and Malone in Salt Lake City; and morant's Grizzlies are setting off a storm of youth Jokic, the highland MVP, and the Nuggets, and Doncic, like Nowitzki, the European carried the whole of Dallas on his back
EAST — Durant partner Harden, with Irving and Faith taking a step back, the Brooklyn Nets are a demon; the maturing Antetokounmpo leads the defending Bucks as every team's target; two-level reversals, the old-school hardcore Heat is very different from the floating Miami; the league's best big man Embiid and his 76ers are still on the road to their dreams; and the newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, Barnes and the Raptors, Mobley and the Cavaliers, Lamello and the Hornets And the world center of New York has the first market capitalization Knicks, regardless of the record is a well-deserved focus of the outside world
Of course, the star-studded league is one person behind — two championships, two FMVPs, five All-Stars, one All-Star MVP, two DPOYs, five All-Team, nine All-Defensive Players, and Leonard, the Clippers' star. Last season's playoff game with the Jazz suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, but there have been recent reports that the recovery process is smooth and it is expected to return to the field this season, which is definitely a great blessing for fans
