On January 9, Beijing time, after 941 days of long waiting, Thompson finally ushered in his comeback debut. The NBA official website also previewed the game, and expert Mark Medina bluntly said that Clay needed to answer two questions for his debut.
After two serious injuries, Thompson is finally back on the court. Against the Cavaliers, he will make his debut in 941 days.
Thompson is expected to play around 15 to 20 minutes in this game. For the debut, Kerr said, "Both Clay and the team need a little time to adapt, after all, this is a return after 2 and a half years, a lot of things have changed, he needs some time to find his rhythm, our team has to adapt to new rotations and new roles." ”
Before the injury, Thompson was one of the league's five-time All-Star, one of the best 3Ds. As a result, expert Mark Medina believes that comeback debut Thompson needs to answer two questions.
First of all, is Thompson still a good shooter? In response, Thompson said, "I'm not worried about shooting at all. When you return to the field from a long-term recovery, the hardest part is finding the rhythm and state of the game. ”
Second, is Thompson still a good outside defender? In response, Thompson also confidently said, "I feel good. Over the course of a long recovery, sometimes you really wonder if you're going to be the same type of player. But when I got back, I felt good, and I felt like it would take a few games or weeks to become an All-Star again. ”
So, can Thompson deliver on his promises? At 9:30 a.m. on the 10th, the Warriors' home showdown with the Cavaliers began and will give the answer.
