[Edit this paragraph] Other information

In 2007, when Yao, the No.1 scholar at the same level, led the Rockets to make great strides in the west, when Hill, the senior brother, came to Phoenix to continue to exert his afterheat, and when chris duhon, the younger brother, had taken over his gun at the Bulls, jay williams, the No.1 scholar in 2002, announced his official retirement and bid farewell to the professional basketball world completely.

The origin of tragedy

All the tragedies originated from a car accident in June 2003. When people are full of ambition, they tend to get carried away. As a newcomer who has just played in the NBA for a season, the aura of honor seems to make Jay Williams relax his vigilance against the world. So that night, Williams was driving his heavy motorcycle at lightning speed, but the motorcycle unexpectedly lost control and ran directly into a telephone pole on the side of the road. He himself was thrown out from a distance. The direct consequence is that the ligament of the left knee is broken, and the three nerves of jay williams in the left leg are seriously injured, facing life-long amputation and even life-threatening.

Duke curse

Jay Williams is from Duke University. For the players who graduated from this famous basketball school, injuries may be the curse of fate. From art heyman to leitner and Hill, and then to the active service of Boozer and Lei Dike, countless players eventually fell into the "death gate" of injury. Williams is not the first, and probably won't be the last, but what bothers the star point guard is why he took the old path of his brother Bobby Harry. Harry almost died in a car accident during his rookie season with the Kings. In this way, the future superstar, who had high hopes, suddenly became a role player hovering on the edge of the NBA.

The glory of the past

NBA draft

After Yao Ming was elected to the 2002 draft, Jay Williams was not an idle man. He was born in 198 1 September 10, and grew up in New Jersey.199 became a famous basketball star when he graduated from the local St. Joseph's High School. Besides basketball, he has made great achievements in American football and volleyball, and even mastered chess. After entering the prestigious Duke University, he quickly won the NCAA championship under the leadership of his brother Battier. In his junior year, he won two awards, naismith and Wooden, and finally decided to leave school early to join the NBA. In order to thank him for his contribution to Duke University, his No.22 jersey announced his retirement from Duke.

Jay williams hits Yao Ming in the draft nightmare.

In the 2002 draft, Jay Williams finally failed to beat Yao Ming, so he condescended to the Bulls and became the second pick. He immediately announced that he would prove himself in the following rookie season. Williams didn't wait long, but an opportunity came to him ahead of time. He was selected for the American men's basketball team, then known as the "Dream Team 5", and participated in the 2002 Indianapolis Men's Basketball World Championship. Williams finally stood directly in front of Yao Ming as an opponent, but because Byron Davis and Andrew Miller dominated the US team's backcourt, his playing time was really rare. I finally got a chance to smash Yao Ming's head, but Yao Ming, then known as the "Little Giant", gave me a real hot pot. At that time, Williams didn't think that the gap between him and Yao Ming in the future was much bigger than this blocked shot.

A flash in the pan

Because he played shooting guard at Duke University, Williams, who was entrusted with the responsibility of point guard after coming to the Bulls, seemed a little unaccustomed. His performance in the rookie season was not satisfactory, and the Bulls' record plummeted and there was no hope of recovery. However, Williams is not without bright spots. 20021October 9th, 165438+ Bulls played against the Nets, the top team in the East at that time. Williams met jay williams Road in the rookie season of super point guard jason kidd. Kidd played the "big three yuan" as usual-25 points 1 1 rebound 12 assists, but rookie Jay Williams didn't give up. His report card is 26 points, 14 rebounds, 13 assists and two steals. More importantly, the bulls finally left the victory in Chicago. Unfortunately, this is Jay Williams' first triple-double in the NBA and the last one. He is like a meteor across the NBA sky. Before people can see him clearly, he has fallen to the edge of the sky.

make a comeback

The accidental car accident deprived Williams of the chance to continue to compete with Yao Ming. After repeated evaluation, the Bulls bought out his contract for $7.7 million, and he even lost the opportunity to stay in the NBA. In the midst of pity and sympathy, Williams himself did not give up. He still dreams of returning to the NBA one day and playing his own level again. For this dream, he paid three years to come back and sign the contract. Although he couldn't take care of himself for half a year, he finally stood on the basketball court again.

After resting for 18 months, Williams, who was once considered hopeless in back in the game, finally made a comeback. Williams went to Houston for training with the Rockets. Scouts jay williams from many teams came to inspect his performance, including some powerful people who could decide to bring in players. "Williams doesn't need to show himself to each team in turn. In fact, everyone knows his ability, and many teams are in contact with us. At present, we have narrowed our goal to three or four teams. " Williams' agent Duffy said. During the break, his work related to basketball only serves as an explanation consultant for ESPN. "I think Williams has recovered 80%, and he will be able to play around Christmas, and no later than the All-Star weekend." Duffy said. However, considering his current situation and some uncertain factors, even if he can return to the stadium, Williams can't get a generous contract. Before Houston, Williams also trained with the Heat, which is an ideal place for him who lives in Florida. Coincidentally, Williams' original name was Jason. In order not to be the same as "white chocolate", he called his name "Jie" for short before the draft. Now, jason williams plays for the Heat. The Heat are unwilling to bet on Jay in the new season, and the Raptors are most likely to sign him now. It is said that Bob Cork, the general manager of the Raptors, has been paying attention to Williams' recovery since he underwent pelvic surgery, and now he is willing to offer a basic salary-the biggest contract they can come up with, because the Raptors' total salary has reached the salary cap. But in the end, for various reasons, jay williams regretfully passed the contract with an annual salary of about 500,000 US dollars. Perhaps it's a pity that his hometown of New Jersey finally gave him a chance. On September 28th, 2006, the Nets announced that they had signed a non-guaranteed contract with Williams. However, the good times did not last long. 10 year1On October 22nd, they announced that they had officially abandoned the former star. Williams still didn't want to leave, and then he signed a contract with the Austin Bulls in NBDL. However, on February 30th of the same year, 65438, he was dismissed again, still because of his injuries.

Pastoral seclusion

Jay williams today.

After disappearing from the fans' sight for nearly a year, Jay Williams finally appeared in front of people again, but this time he brought the news that he officially decided to retire and completely gave up his dream of returning to the NBA. Second place, Yao Ming, Dream Five, Triple Double, Car Accident, Comeback ... A series of keywords are repeated constantly, but in the end they just pass by. Maybe everything is just a big dream, and finally it is the day when I wake up. Williams now works in a fitness company, and he often gives some speeches to inspire those who suffer the same disaster. This is his real life. I just don't know if he will remember those eventful years when he sees Yao Ming and Stoudemire Jr. fighting inside on TV.
