Klay · Thompson, the shooter who once drove Warriors fans crazy, has chosen a new career path.
Tom joined the Mavericks this season on a three-year, $50 million contract.
This seemingly not high annual salary actually hides Tang Shen's expectations for the future and the Lone Ranger's commitment to him.
The Lone Ranger's promise to Clay · Thompson is real.
The team guaranteed him a start and also promised to play at least 28-30 minutes per game.
This is simply an ideal condition for Tang Shen.
Tang Shen has always had his own insistence and is unwilling to be a substitute.
During his days with the Warriors, he was benched for 14 games, much to his displeasure.
Once, Tang Shen even quarreled with the coach, and finally threatened to leave the team in the summer.
Town's disappointment isn't just because of the bench position, but also because of Warriors owner Lacob's estrangement from him.
Lacob distanced himself from him, which hurt him a lot, and he felt he was undervalued with the Warriors.
Although the Warriors once offered a two-year, $48 million contract extension, Tang Shen still chose the Mavericks.
Although the Mavericks' contract has a smaller annual salary than the Warriors, the total amount of the three-year contract and the low tax burden in Dallas make the overall treatment more attractive to Townsend.
Tang Shen obviously thought it through before accepting the Lone Ranger's contract.
He knew his position with the Mavericks would be secured, something he had learned about being overlooked during his time with the Warriors.
Many fans have different opinions on Tang Shen's choice.
A netizen named Li Yang wrote on the forum: "Tang Shen is really brave, and in this case, he chose to leave the warriors and pursue an opportunity to give full play to his strength.
While the Mavericks have a low annual contract salary, he gets more playing time, which may be the most important thing for him. ”
Another netizen, named Zhang Ting, felt that Tang Shen's decision was very wise: "Tang Shen suffered a lot of grievances in the Warriors in the past, although the Warriors' offer is very high, but the protection and opportunities he gets now are the most noteworthy." ”
In the coming season, Tang Shen's performance will directly affect the strategic planning of the Mavericks.
The Mavericks are looking to challenge for a championship in the new season, and if Townsman's performance doesn't meet expectations, the team may consider adjusting their strategy.
Although Thompson's ability is undoubted, he still averaged 17.9 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game last season, shooting 38.7% from three-point range.
These stats are enough to prove his worth on the pitch.
Outside the basketball court, Tang Shen recently went on vacation in Cameroon and also held a basketball camp.
Interestingly, he bumped into a fan wearing a Kobe Bryant jersey in Cameroon.
As soon as the fan saw Tang Shen, he excitedly took a photo with him, and Tang Shen also shared the experience on social media, accompanied by a "goat" (GOAT) meme, showing his respect for Kobe.
Although Tom's hometown is the Bahamas and is not directly related to Cameroon, the men's basketball training camp he participated in in the Bahamas has received a good response.
It would be a great opportunity for him to represent the Bahamas in the Olympic qualifiers, but due to the restrictions of the United States Basketball Association, that dream may not be realized for the time being.
Fans are looking forward to the future of Yujin.
Some netizens commented on social media: "Tang Shen's performance in the new team will be a highlight, and seeing him play his strength in different environments, I believe he will surprise us." ”
Another fan hoped: "I hope Tom can play well in the Mavericks, after all, he is a member of the Warriors, and his departure is a bit regrettable." ”
And the transfer of Klay · Thompson has many people looking forward to his performance with the Mavericks.
The former Warriors star player chose to join the Mavericks with a lower annual salary, a decision that sparked a lot of discussion among fans.
Towne, who was unhappy with being deployed off the bench when he was with the Warriors, has finally been promised to start with the Mavericks.
This has made many fans full of curiosity and expectations for his performance in the new season.
Some netizens said on social media: "Tang Shen chose to leave the Warriors and go to the Lone Ranger is really courageous.
Everyone knows his ability, and his performance during his time as a warrior was very impressive.
Hopefully he'll be in better shape with the Mavericks. ”
Another netizen also said: "Tang Shen is finally no longer a substitute, and this opportunity is very important to him."
Expect him to use his full strength in the Mavericks. ”
In the online forums, the discussion was also lively.
A fan named Liu Xiao said: "Tang Shen did encounter a lot of problems when he was with the Warriors, and the situation like coming off the bench was really distressing.
Now that the Mavericks have given him a chance to start and his playing time is guaranteed, I'm sure he'll prove himself with his actions. ”
Another fan named Chen Liang commented: "Tang Shen also played well when he was with the Warriors, but he never got enough room to play.
I hope he can find a place that really suits him in the Lone Ranger and make up for his previous regrets. ”
Tang Shen's performance has also been watched by some analysts.
One sports analyst commented that "Townsman's injuries and bench experience with the Warriors have affected his performance to a certain extent.
The Mavericks have given him a solid starting position and plenty of playing time that will help him get back to his peak form. ”
Another analyst added, "Tom still played well last season, averaging 17.9 points per game and shooting 38.7 percent from three-point range to prove his quality.
If he can adapt to the Mavericks' tactical system, he could play even better than he did with the Warriors. ”
In the interaction of fans, many people also expressed curiosity about Tang Shen's new environment.
A fan named Wang Tao left a message in the discussion area: "The Mavericks' tactical system is quite different from that of the Warriors, and Tang Shen needs to adjust his playing style."
Hopefully, he can settle into the team quickly, otherwise the initial adaptation period may affect his performance. ”
Another fan named Zhang Hua said: "I am still very optimistic about Tang Shen's prospects in the Mavericks.
His work ethic and ability are top-notch and I am confident that he will shine in his new squad. ”
In his personal life, he recently went on vacation in Cameroon, during which he also hosted a basketball camp.
He shared a photo of himself meeting a fan wearing a Kobe Bryant jersey on social media, accompanied by a "GOAT" meme.
This vignette also caught the attention of fans.
A netizen commented: "It's so interesting to see Tang Shen meet Kobe fans in Cameroon.
It also shows his love for basketball.
Hopefully he can bring that passion to the ring. ”
Tang Shen's career choice shows his unwillingness to compromise and his dedication to his career.
He could have chosen to stay with the Warriors and enjoy a relatively decent contract, but he chose to take on a new challenge and continue his basketball journey with the Mavericks.
Such determination and courage can't help but make people look forward to his future.
