Eat and sleep beat Paul - Delon
An impatient encyclopedic introduction
Deron Williams (born June 26, 1984 in Parkersburg, West Virginia) was selected by the Utah Jazz with the 3rd overall pick in the first round in 2005.
He has played professionally for the Jazz, Nets, Mavericks and Cavaliers. He has been named to the NBA All-NBA Team 2nd Team twice, the All-Star Team three times, the Skill Challenge Championship once, and the Olympic Gold Medal twice.
"Dry goods" that you want to say
Delong was once considered paul's lifelong enemy, but now That Paul is still fighting for the championship, Delong has long since lost his way. The two were compared together from the moment they entered the league, and Delong once pressed Paul, so there was the familiar phrase "eating and sleeping to beat Paul".
Deron was definitely one of the best point guards in the league during the Jazz era, with Boozer on the inside and Sloan coach's blocking tactics that could not be more skilled, which was also a well-known combination in the league at that time. Delong has been the top point guard of 20+10 for several consecutive years. At that time, some fans hated him and the Jazz, after all, Delong and his Jazz team had repeatedly cut yao Ming's Rockets off the horse.
At that time, everyone thought that Delon and Boozer would be the next "Stockton and Malone", and it was even more likely to complete the championship that the predecessors had not completed. However, it all ended on February 10, 2011. Delon had a serious argument with coach Sloan before coach Sloan announced his retirement, and Delon was traded to the Nets shortly after.
You must know that it is Sloan's coach who did not choose the first point guard in the United States, Paul, but chose him. Fortunately, later Delong realized his mistake, visited Coach Sloane, and took the initiative to admit his mistake, so that there was a "world reconciliation", which was also a relatively good ending.
It can be said that this incident is a watershed for Delong, although it has maintained a few years of standards after reaching the Nets, but it is obvious that it has declined. After all, the best for him is really coach Sloan, plus he also has injury effects, resulting in leaving the NBA early at the age of 32. After all, for many stars, 32 years old, still at the peak of their careers, especially the outside players, not to mention paul who is "momentarily bright".
At that time, there was a lot of discussion about Delong, and a large part of it was to "block" the Rockets, after all, due to yao Ming's presence at that time, the Rockets were about to become their own team. In addition, Delong is really the most mentioned is to play Paul, Paul's exposure has always been higher than Delong, and it feels stronger than Delong, but as long as the two meet, it is Delon wins.
After Delong left the Jazz, exposure plummeted, and what was once one of the best point guards in the league was gradually forgotten in just a few years. In fact, in the later stages of delong's career, it is still no problem to "admit his life" as a substitute, but Delong, who has a high heart, is not willing. From the beginning of the Calf, his goal was to want a championship, and he was willing to be a substitute for the Cavaliers for the championship, and it was precisely because of this substitution that his performance was greatly reduced, thus withdrawing from everyone's sight.
In fact, he did not play (did not announce his retirement, just did not play the ball) in those years, with his strength, in the league as a qualified sixth man, there is no problem, after all, he has technology, the body is not so bad, more is a psychological factor.
Delong's "departure" was silent, and no one noticed that Delon was no longer playing in the league, and by the time the reaction came, it had been a while. At that time, there were really people who didn't watch the game much, and they would suddenly ask, What about Delong Williams? Where delon went at one point also became a minor topic. The combination of Delong and Boozer is really a pity, the classic internal and external block demolition, it is not easy to reproduce, unfortunately, ruined in the youth.
Delong's "if" is really a short answer, that is, if he hadn't argued with Coach Sloan, he may have retired now, maybe he still doesn't have a championship, but his career should be much better than it is now.
