In the practice game of the Pelicans training camp before the start of the season, Chayne Williamson handed in a dominant performance in the first game, and the team's vice president David Griffin's restrictions have long been forgotten.
"Z (Chaine Williamson) probably hasn't played in a year and a half. I mean, he hasn't played this kind of 5v5 game in a while. David Griffin said at Media Day: "So we're excited to return to a team that has matured both in leadership and work ethics." The players are very welcome to the return of Chayne Williamson, returning from injury will be a difficult challenge, and Chayne Williamson will have to face difficulties that I think he did not expect. However, he is a team with a ready team and we will do our best to help him get back into action. ”
On a Monday before the season kicked off, Chayne Williamson's most athletic physique ever sparked a heated discussion in the NBA. The next night, his outstanding projection shocked his teammates and head coach, and because of Chayne Williamson's explosive performance, fans must have imagined limitlessly.
In imagining Chayne Williamson's on-court performance this season, some longtime fans quickly pulled back to the year they truly fell in love with basketball, Jordan's miraculous 1986-87 season.
Jordan, entering his third year of his career, won the scoring crown with an average of 37.1 points per game. It was the highest scoring average of his career, and the numbers were much higher than in the previous two seasons. The reason Jordan is mentioned is that he had just suffered a foot injury and returned from injury after nearly a season of recuperation, the same as Chase Williamson.
On October 29, 1985, Jordan was fractured before halftime in a game against the Warriors. Jordan sprinted forward, but accidentally hit his ankle when he landed, and the initial X-ray scan did not detect signs of injury. However, after a computed tomography scan, which uses X-rays to scan the bones in layers, Jordan's left foot was fractured.
Jordan "Airness" was grounded for four and a half months. Even after his comeback, he had a time limit for playing, and could only play about 7 minutes a game. Jordan must have been very unacceptable to the ban, and the playing time was quickly gone. In the 1986 playoffs, Jordan, who was no longer restrained, let everyone know that he was the best player in the league.
The Bulls met the high-spirited Celtics in the first round, Jordan scored 49 points in the first game and 63 points in the second game, setting a single-game highest score in the playoffs, and the record continues to this day.
Although the Chicago Bulls were eventually swept away, Jordan's superb performance earned him the respect of one of the best players of all time.
"If he's not strong enough, I definitely can't praise him as one of the best players I've ever seen." Larry Bird told The Boston Globe: "And tonight, God is playing on the field in the number 23 shirt. "There could not have been a higher appreciation.
If Chayne Williamson really is one of the ten thousand, then even if Jordan is the best player of all time, the analogy between the two would not be so ridiculous. Both players suffered foot injuries after a similar number of regular-season games, with Jordan suffering a fracture in his 85th career regular-season game and Chayne Williamson suffering an injury in the offseason after 85 games.
Chayne Williamson's games were just as mesmerizing as MJ's early games, with the duo getting many shots every night that the players of the same period couldn't compete with. Their superhuman athleticism and resolute perseverance amaze the two bystanders.
Beyond that, their impact on the offensive end is extremely similar. Before the foot injury, the duo averaged 30 points per game in 36 minutes while creating 10 free throw attempts.
This is undoubtedly the purest dominant force.
Jordan's performance after returning from injury has risen a notch. Big Bird Bird was an eyewitness to those miracles. The following season, the league teams also witnessed Jordan's strength.
As for Chayne Williamson, he has developed the best posture in his career, not to mention the new tricks he developed this summer, even he was shocked, and Chayne Williamson mentioned at media day that he wanted to find "inner peace". Why don't we give him a little more confidence and look forward to the next superstar? Especially after a gap of more than a year, Chayne Williamson was able to show off his amazing talent in front of his teammates and coaches right away.
Oh yes, the earring on Chaine Williamson's left ear is also a place where he resembles Jordan.
Jordan also had a gold earring on his left ear, which debuted in the mid-90s and still hangs from Jordan's earlobe.
It's not that Chayne Williamson will have the same crazy scoring stats as Jordan did in 1986-87. First of all, Chayne Williamson's teammates were much better than Jordan's teammates at the time, and Chayne Williamson will certainly be robbed of a lot of limelight around Brandon Ingram and CJ McCollum. However, Chayne Williamson has a chance to strengthen his dominance on the offensive end.
In the past, some NBA fans would call Chayne Williamson: "It's small, big is not necessarily good." After all, Chayne Williamson's performance when he wore the Pelicans jersey is still far less than his dominance in college.
However, if he can prove himself healthy in the new season, it is believed that such jokes will soon be slapped in the face by Chaine Williamson.
