With the Lakers officially announcing the signing of JR Smith on July 2, the lost veteran finally renewed his front with James and ushered in a rebirth in his career.
However, a few joys and some worries, JR's signing means that Nick Young has no chance to return to the game for the time being. When Bradley decided not to play in the rematch, Nick Young said he was ready under the relevant social media.
Now, it's clear that the Lakers don't feel he's ready, and other teams don't want to sign him for the time being.
Recently, Nick Young once again posted a news feed on social media – "Can I [lose my job] again?" "He's still eager to play, eager to get a job.
Few players, like Nick Young, are not really stars, but have fan familiarity and huge traffic that is difficult for ordinary stars to match.
He is like a traffic beast, he can jump out of the inherent circle, break the circle wall, and get more attention. Like his "black question mark face" meme, it was spread and witnessed by too many people.
If the reason is, of course, there is an element of luck, there are also mobile Internet era, all kinds of new things spread fast, wide range of reasons, but if we look for internal causes, we can vaguely perceive the charm of Nick Yang's personality and attitude.
Nick Young is like a small child, always giving people an optimistic feeling, treating teammates and surrounding things, as if they are always full of smiles and positive sunshine.
It is rare for an adult to have such a character and attitude. Because after experiencing the hardships of life and the cruelty of reality, some people may not always maintain an optimistic attitude, nor will they always smile, they are working hard for life, and they can't always stretch their brows.
But Nick Young is like this most of the time, and his emotions can also infect those around him. We say that he is precious, but it is also difficult to develop such a character and habit, and if you know his experience, you will agree with this.
When Nick Young was a child, he grew up with his brother, who led him and his second brother to play basketball, play together, and enjoy leisure time.
Just as we don't know which tomorrow or accident will come first, an unexpected shooting changes their entire family and Nick Young's childhood.
The departure of his brother has made Nick Young lose his navigator in basketball, but the future direction, his brother has pointed out for him, all he can do is to go strong.
Therefore, after the painful loss of his loved ones, he seemed to become stronger, and the pain of his past gradually turned into armor, protecting him forward, continuing to move forward optimistically and positively.
College experience, good performance and honors have made him more confident, and after entering the NBA, it is Arenas who reinforces this confidence.
At that time, the general was already in the last year of his career, but he was still willing to give the young player some advice and encouragement, and then the general retired and Nick Young changed teams, but whenever the latter needed confidence, he would still call Arenas.
He learned a lot from Arenas, strengthened his confidence, and also learned a little bit of celebrating in advance.
It's just that as a result, we all know that the picture of celebrating in advance and popping out of the frame has once again become a major classic of Nick Young. Although it was a failure, it also brought him more topics.
Arenas said in an interview that if Nick Young wasn't their rookie, didn't make it to the Wizards, and wasn't with him in his rookie season, maybe Young would have had a better career.
So, while giving Nick Young confidence and leading him forward, may Arenas also bring Nick Young something bad? For example, when Nick Young casually makes a girlfriend, Nick Yang in pajamas, this girlfriend is not worth it.
Whatever Arenas says, Nick Young might have had a better career if he hadn't gone to the Wizards. Nick Young, 35, has no chance to go back in time and do it again.
All he can do is to remain optimistic, and then stop in the lost corner, waiting for the favor of a certain team, waiting for the favor of fate.
