Torn ligaments didn't destroy him


Jamal Murray, cry.

Home elimination of the heat, when the referee announced that the Nuggets won, he covered his face with his hands, covered his face and wept.

At that moment, Murray did not care about anyone's eyes, and did not go to his teammate's side to celebrate with others.

He stood in place, the complex mood with the tears gushing out, is sad?

No, tears of joy.

If you know anything about Murray's past, you know why he cried.

Not only because of the joy generated by the title, but also because of the difficult years and the tough schedule of fighting injuries.

Murray's father, a professional trainer, was always strict about things, even with his own son.

As a child, Murray often performed pain training at the request of his father, including high-intensity squats, outdoor long-distance running in extremely cold weather, hot tea and a series of methods that can stimulate the body muscles.

Because of the extreme content of the training, Murray's father was once mistaken for child abuse by neighbors and was once investigated by the police.

But later in retrospect of these things, Murray seems to be light, not only did not resist, but also think that it benefited.

In 2016, Murray was the seventh overall pick in the first round by the Nuggets.

Since then, he has been cultivated as a core, and left many highlight moments.

In the first round of the 2020 playoffs against the Jazz, Murray twice scored 50 points, breaking many all-time records.

The mentality of daring to fight at key moments and strong scoring explosive force once made people think that he would become a new generation of leaders.

But the accident always came unexpectedly, the following April, Murray accidentally suffered a ligament tear serious injury, early announced the season out.

Murray spent most of that year in a hospital bed, recovering for more than 14 months.

This season, after the regular season, Murray announced his return, he can average 20 points and 6.2 assists per game.

Heading into the playoffs, he improved his personal stats to 26.1 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 7.1 assists.

In the Western Conference finals against the Lakers, Murray opened with three consecutive 30+ games, with a three-point shot, shot through the Purple and Gold Army defense.

Now join hands with teammates to win the crown, but also can be regarded as the bitter history of their own pay, gave the best account.

A $170 million Max salary over five years is well deserved for a player of Murray's caliber.
And this nuggets, also destined to go down in history.
