On February 19, Beijing time, the 2022 NBA Cleveland All-Star Weekend officially opened, and all players can get a rare time to relax. However, All-Star starting guard Trae Young did not appear in Cleveland for the first time, completing the rendezvous with his teammates. Because he was somewhere else, there were more important things waiting for him.
Trey Young attended Benoman High School in Oklahoma, where he first became famous. Although this is an obscure college, Trae Young has a terrifying stat of 42.6 points, 5.8 rebounds and 4.1 assists, which has established his position as the first person in college history. Therefore, his alma mater decided to retire his personal No. 11 jersey and officially hold a retirement ceremony today. For Trae Young personally, he naturally did not miss the opportunity to come to the scene and personally accept this honor.
When Trey Young arrived at the scene, he erupted in thunderous cheers and applause, which showed his popularity at his alma mater. Then the lights turn off and the spotlight hits him, and in the wall behind the court, a piece of cloth is slowly removed, behind which is Trae Young's high school jersey, and a portrait of him in three stages (high school, college, and NBA). Trae Young has officially become a legend of Benoman High School, and every player here will be proud of him in the future, and his retired jersey will grow with every new student.
In the face of such a scene, Trae Young was obviously a little emotional, he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his hands, and it was obvious that he was a little emotional at that moment, and he shed tears of deep affection in his alma mater. Then he spoke, and Trae Young said it was an honor for himself, he had always wanted to represent everyone here, and now he did.
Trae Young's story will undoubtedly affect many of his fans. As a player whose physical talent is not outstanding, Trae Young has proved his worth through his own efforts to gain a foothold in the league. This is his fourth season, he is already an all-star player on his own, and having led the team to the Eastern Conference Finals, he deserves to be a role model for fans.
Trae Young has averaged 27.8 points, 3.9 rebounds, 9.3 assists and 1 steal this season, shooting three three-pointers per game and shooting 38.3 percent from three-point range. After a slump in the early part of the season, Trae Young led the Hawks back to form and is currently in 10th place in the East with 28 wins and 30 losses, just 2.5 wins away from the top 8 seats, and will continue to attack the playoffs in the future. If Trae Young can be named to the All-Roc team this season, he will trigger incentive clauses next season to enforce a five-year, $207 million maximum salary contract.
Trae Young is set to start his second All-Star Weekend, his second start. This time, he will be a member of the Durant team and show his style on the field.
