John W. Wall had a nightmare the night before as his heart and mind raced in anticipation of the entry of the Houston Rockets, returning from a two-year injury trap, which was due to be quarantined by the NBA due to the COVID-19 protocol in the second week.
It had been 35 days and 35 days, as Wall Street was definitely the focus of attention after the Rockets’ 127-11 win over the Sacramento Kings on Thursday night in Houston, as they played their last match in an NBA game. He then underwent surgery to remove the bone in his left ankle, which had plagued him for years, followed by another operation to repair the Achilles tendon he had torn while recovering from the operation, then traded it to the first Washington Wizards, the first to be protected. Round pick for Russell Westbrook.
“It was great, just to get out there and have fun,” Watley said in the win after his 22-point, 6-rebound, 9-assist performance. “I was right when I could reach between those four lines and once the ball touched my hand after the jump ball. I was happy to be able to compete with some of the best people in this league and [demonstrate] That I have the potential to be one of the best point guards in this league. “
Wall Lay said it physically looks “amazing”. He showed tight pace and explosiveness before injuries disrupted his career, before disrupting his career, in eight baskets he scored on dunks or lapups against the Kings, including a couple on a quick break.
“He looks like he’s back in his all-star mode,” Rockets told center-back Christian Wood, who gave up 21 points and 12 rebounds.
“He was very aggressive, dramatized, defensively falling behind him,” said Rockets superstar James Harden, who had 16 of his 33 points in the fourth quarter. “It felt really beautiful, especially not to play in two years.”
However, Wall Wall readily acknowledged that there was plenty of room for improvement after the launch of its rockets. He particularly noted his five turnovers and poor 3-point shooting (2-of-8).
“Keeping 22, 9 and 6 isn’t bad for my first game in two years,” said Wall Wall, who averaged 19.0 points and 9.2 assists during his decade-long stint with the Wizards. “I can slap him on the back for that, and I know I’ll be even better for the next game.”
Wall is in the process of developing a rapport with fellow ball-dominant guard Harden, who lost time in the preseason after briefing on his short-term deal request. Wall Wall had to sit for a week – including a two-game road trip of the Rockets – because he was a close contact with Rookie Canyon Martin Jr., who tested positive for coronavirus the next day after cutting his hair in Wall’s apartment.
“They’re not living together, and we’re still trying to find them,” said Rockets coach Stephen Silas of Wall Wall and Harden. “They’re trying to find out for themselves with my help.” That relationship is going to grow and get better and better. “
Wall introduced Siles to the ball in the locker room to celebrate his first win as head ball coach, but he admitted that he intended to keep it to himself, given the personal meaning of the game.
“His first time as head coach, I think he deserves it,” Wall said. “But I got a chance to keep my jersey. She’s definitely going to my trophy room.”
