preface:
5 years 170 million, $31.59 million Murray lying in a hospital bed, his comeback time is far away, for the Nuggets the absence of the backcourt big man makes it difficult for them, the team slipped to the edge of the playoffs, since reaching the Western Conference Finals, the Nuggets can be described as regressing every year. However, in difficult circumstances, there is still hope, a young post-00s young player appears in the center of the stage, and perhaps Hyland is a big hope for the Nuggets after being devastated by injuries!
The fire escaped and was reborn
"I'm grateful every time I play because the doctors have said I can't play." Fans know that NBA players are the pride of heaven, and being able to enter the NBA is one of the best, but for Hyland, he can play is really a gift from heaven. Four years ago, Hyland's family had been hit by a fire, and in order to escape, he even jumped out of the window and jumped down, although the fire escaped, but Hyland injured his knee. At that time, his attending doctor had said that Hyland could no longer stand on the NBA field, but Hyland was still at the center of the NBA stage, able to participate in the NBA draft, and was selected in the first round, Hyland was inspirational enough.
Speaking about this past, Hyland choked up at one point, saying: "Every time I play, I draw a cross in my heart and thank you for being able to play. Because the doctors told me I couldn't play anymore. In the game against Philadelphia, Hyland invited the people who had rescued him in the fire field to the scene to watch the ball, nearly a hundred people cheered for him, Hyland faced so many saviors, he also repaid them with 17 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. For Hyland, who was almost buried in the fire, being able to stand on the NBA field is like a dream, so Hyland cherishes the opportunity to play, and it is his efforts that have been favored by Malone, and Hyland also landed on the court as a starting player.
Young talent, full of talent
This season is Hyland's rookie year, it is because of Murray's absence, let the first round of the 26th pick player get the opportunity, and Hyland played 18.4 minutes per game, can contribute 9.4 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game, Hyland's characteristics are very obvious, he is the key Mr. is also a master of chaos. Don't look at Hyland is a first-year rookie, but his performance on the court is very old, before in the Nuggets and Lakers game, Hyland relied on his own spiral rotation, scored a goal, this is his first time with his idol James, his performance also impressed James.
When it comes to playing with his idol, Hyland is also excited, he said: "You know, I grew up watching him play, so I'm excited to play with him. In that game, Hyland cut 27 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals, and the way the little fast spirit played was the biggest feature of the young player. To be honest, Although Hyland's template is Clarkson, he is more like a stronger Bruell, and now Hyland still averages 37.0% of the shooting rate while shooting 1.8 three-pointers per game, which is quite rare for a first-year player.
Of course, what is even more rare is that Hyland has a natural killer gene, which is evident at the home of Philadelphia, and it can be said that the key moment is Hylander standing up and constantly completing the attack. Hyland is also very confident in this, he said: "I have the strongest heart, every shot is full of confidence. And this is also the embodiment of mamba spirit, but also the embodiment of his killer instinct, this unique temperament gives Hylander the potential to become a superstar, this spirit of young people is his unique temperament to win, Hyland's future is really promising."
Eager to win, leadership temperament
For Hyland, he also has a great uniqueness is his competitive spirit, Hyland is not like a first-year player, but like a veteran of the battlefield, look at the speech after each game, it seems that Hyland is the leader of this team. When Heyland loses, he will directly say what the team's problem is: "It's hard to accept, we lack effort, we lack a lot of things. I know we can win, but the lack of effort we're playing now is maddening. "He never makes excuses for himself, losing is not supposed to, you should try to fight." When the team reversed, Hyland would also say an uplifting speech: "Our hearts are high, we want to fight. I'm really proud of my teammates. ”
Hyland has gradually grown into an integral member of the Nuggets, and although Murray is still plagued by injuries, the impact of his absence has been greatly reduced, and his role on this team has become more prominent. If Murray's contract is counted on Hylander, can the Nuggets fans feel better? When Murray returns, the Nuggets' backcourt really has unlimited potential, so there is no need to say anything like Murray can win the championship in us, injuries are also part of the game, if You look at Hyland as Murray, the Nuggets are still worth it, this season even if it is to cultivate Heyland is also completely suitable, maybe the next backcourt superstar will appear.
epilogue:
Although the 26th pick in the first round is not a lotto pick, the Nuggets team has the foundation of a dog, and when Nicholas Jokic became famous, he was also a player with 11 picks in the second round, and he also became an MVP level player. And Hyland can do what Jokic does. The Nuggets don't want him to grow into an NBA superstar, but if Hylander can be a sharp blade on the Nuggets' back court, this team is getting closer and closer to winning the championship. While it may come at the cost of a season, it's all worth it, and as long as there's something to look forward to in the future, everything is the right path now.
