Hong Kong's Xu Yuanzheng released a video of playing wild ball, but it pushed Thompson to the forefront.
In the video, Thompson was passed by Xu Yuanzheng in one step and completed a one-handed split, which made people defend themselves to frequent iron.
So Thompson was frantically ridiculed on the net: "Klay can't pass passers-by", "The Mavericks are finished", "Clay can't even create shooting space in the face of the driver's defense"......
Seriously, although those sunspots are very excessive, there is a reason for it.
Even if Thompson has passed his peak, he is still an active NBA player with an annual salary of tens of millions of dollars, but now he is even enough to play non-CBA active players.
No matter how competitive sports have always been, the good stars hold the moon, and the bad ones will be trampled on the soles of their feet.
In this way, it is normal for some people to worry about the Lone Ranger.
The Mavericks have high hopes for Thompson, and the president of the team believes that they are one Thompson away from the championship.
The data website even predicts that Thompson will contribute 22+4+3 per 36 minutes next season.
However, if Thompson enters next season with the above-mentioned wild ball form, it is clear that he will not be able to meet everyone's expectations.
However, wild balls are wild balls, NBA games are NBA games, and the two cannot be completely equated.
Last season, Thompson averaged 17.9 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game, and averaged 3.5 three-pointers on 38.7% shooting per game, and he should not be far from next season.
There may still be an old brother who is curious about how Thompson chose to join the Mavericks for 3 years and $50 million?
According to Thompson himself,Irving was the first to recruit him this offseason and was struck by his sincerity.
In addition, the Mavericks just reached the Finals last season, which means that joining them has a chance to win the championship.
It is worth mentioning that James also came forward to recruit Thompson at that time, but the results were obvious.
Irving won against James this time, and the next step is to win on the court.
Of course, considering that the Mavericks are the new finals team and have successfully made targeted reinforcements, and the Lakers have not made any gains, the two teams cannot be compared now.
Finally, the question is, will the Mavericks be able to win the championship next season?
Let's open the microphone and go crazy on the line!
