Thompson plans to come back after All-Star break, admits competition in Western Conference is too fierce

China News Client, August 7. According to foreign media reports, NBA Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson recently talked about his injury recovery and looked forward to next season in an interview. Thompson admitted that it will be difficult to return to the game before the All-Star Game next season, but he said he will return at 110%. In Game 6 of last season's Finals, Thompson suffered a torn cruciate ligament in his left knee and subsequently underwent repair surgery, which will temporarily require him to leave the game. It is my goal to come back next season. While I don't really believe I'll be back before the All-Star break, I want to be back during the season. Now I feel good and I will come back at 110%. ”Thompson said when talking about his current situation. Regarding the prospects of the Warriors next season, Thompson said that with the departure of Durant, Cousins, Iguodala, and Livingston, the strength of the entire league has returned to balance. He said that in the past five years, everyone wanted to catch up with the Warriors. If not, each team has at least narrowed the gap. Therefore, acquiring Russell is of great significance to the Warriors. He is a proven All-Star, a 20-point-per-game player, and an excellent organizer. "The competition in the Western Conference is too fierce," Thompson said. Not only have the Lakers and Clippers risen, but the Jazz have also completed a good reinforcement. The Nuggets are young and promising, the Trail Blazers have a strong backcourt combination, and the Rockets also have two giants, two MVP players in their prime. So we will face difficult challenges. I expect to be back playing at some point next season. I hope I can hit my form right away and the team will be in the playoffs by then. All we need is a chance to compete. ”(End)
