He was one of the most powerful scorers of that era, and bernard king's basketball career was very exciting and fascinating. A serious knee injury affected his two-year basketball peak. When he returns to the court, he needs to change his previous game style to suit his physical ability. He made many people can't believe that Kim, who came back from a serious injury, actually had the opportunity to participate in the All-Star Game. His career total scores in Utah Jazz, Golden State Warriors, new york Knicks, Washington Bullets and New Jersey Nets all exceeded 19000. Kim was born in a basketball family. His younger brother Albert is regarded by many as one of the best players in American high school basketball history, and he also played in NBA for several seasons after graduation. Bernard was also a leader of Fort Hamilton High School in Brooklyn, but his real glory days in school were at the University of Tennessee. Many people call him a superstar on the college court, but some people have great opinions about it. But Kim proved his talent to those people with his own practical actions. I played in college for three years and participated in the 1977 NBA draft. In his last year of college, he averaged 25.8 points per game.

New york Nets (the predecessor of New Jersey Nets, who moved to New Jersey in the season of 1977-78) won bernard king in the first round. King became the team's scoring champion in his rookie season, averaging 24.2 points per game in the league 10. He won the best rookie in NBA that year, but lost to walter davis of Phoenix Suns in the voting for the best rookie. But in any case, the Nets' performance that season was only 24 wins and 58 losses.

Kings still showed strong momentum in the second season after the rookie season, averaging 2 1.6 points per game. Although Kim is a dominant player on the court, his bad habits off the court have not changed at all. This led the team to trade him to Utah Jazz at the end of the season, 1979-80 season, where he only played 19 games, and then he started drinking heavily or abusing some drugs. I realized that if I kept drinking, my career would be over, and probably my life would be over, which Kim told HOOP magazine a few years later. You have nothing to say after that.

1980-8 1 Before the start of the season, the Jazz traded the hopeless king to Golden State Warriors in exchange for wayne cooper and a second-round draft pick. Kim played for the Warriors for two seasons, averaging 20 points each season. 1980-8 1 averaged 2 1.9 points per season, and the shooting percentage was as high as 58.8%. At the same time, he also won the best progressive player award in NBA. In the 198 1-82 season, he became the team's scoring champion with an average score of 23.2 points per game, and was selected for the first time in the All-Star Game and the second NBA team. He ranks eighth in the league in scoring and seventh in shooting percentage.

King is not gorgeous, but he is practical and efficient. A 6-foot-7 small forward with offensive firepower that all defenders are afraid of. When he turns his back to the basket and plays 1 with the player inside, he will use a quick spin to the left or right to gain space, and then he will turn around and jump shot at lightning speed. His shooting percentage has remained above 50% for seven consecutive seasons.

198 1-82 After the end of the season, Kim signed for the new york Knicks as an experienced player. At that time, the Warriors traded the King and Knicks for Michael Ray Richardson and a draft pick.

Kim played happily with the new york Knicks and won many honors. His season average is increasing every year, from 2 1.9 in 1982-83 to 26.3 in 1983-84 (the fifth in the league). Scored 50 points in 1 984+1October 3 1 and February1against San Antonio Spurs and Dallas Mavericks. At the same time, he was selected for the All-Star Game again and the first team of the year for the first time.

The new york Knicks almost relied on the King's strength in the first round of the playoffs, beating the Detroit Pistons 3-2. The king scored 36 points in the lowest game of five games, and the other four games were all above 40 points. Throughout the playoffs, the Kings averaged 34.8 points per game, while the Knicks lost seven games to the Celtics in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

1984-85 season, King's outstanding performance attracted many people's attention. He topped the league with 32.9 points per game, including an unforgettable experience. 1984 Christmas, he scored a personal record of 60 points against the New Jersey Nets. At the same time, he scored 55 points again in the game against the Nets on February 6, 1985.

Ask any scoring expert, and he will tell you that you will succeed if you enter the scoring area. Jin told the reporter of Inside Sports. When I average 30 points per game, I don't have to think about anything. Everything will develop at an instinctive level. No matter what you do on a special night, you will feel sure to succeed. This is an incredible feeling, and there is nothing better.

After that, King's superb season had a horror movie-like ending. 1985 In the game against Kansas City on March 23, he fell heavily on the court and tore his knee ligament badly. It was a very, very serious ligament tear, which caused the king to miss the whole season of 1985-86 and all the games except the last six games of 1986-87.

This injury directly led to the decline of the Knicks in the 1985-86 season, but the team with a silver lining behind every dark cloud won the first draft pick in the first round of 1986 because of its poor record, and used this draft pick to select Patrick Ewing. The following season, Juve missed six games due to injury, which was the only six games that King participated in that season. In those six games, Wang still averaged 22.7 points per game, and wanted people to prove that he had successfully returned to his original king. But the Knicks showed no interest in him and gave him up at the end of the 1986-87 season.

After that, the focus of the whole league was on the king who came back from injury, the small forward like a scoring machine. He played for the Washington Wizards for four seasons from the 87-88 season. From the 87-88 season, he averaged 17.2 points, and his scores increased every season until 1990-9 1 season. His average score was as high as 28.4 points, ranking behind Jordan and Malone in the league.

More importantly, Kim changed his previous game style to adapt to his knee injury. Most of his scores came from forced singles inside, and then he scored a jump shot near the baseline or at the basket. The brand-new king has become a player with strong scoring ability. He often sends the ball to the basket with a quick and wonderful turn. He became a complete inside player.

He not only saved his knee and his career, but also turned him from a troubled Brooklyn genius into a thoughtful basketball superstar. Later, he told the reporter of Insider Sports: "I will catch up with some important events in my life, and I always feel that I will do my best." That feeling has been following me and giving me motivation. I know I need to summon up great courage to return to the stadium, but I know I can do it. I will not only come back, but also come back as an all-star player. "

Next, Kim was greeted with another knee operation, this time cartilage removal, which was performed before the start of the 199 1-92 season. This action paid the price for King's comeback. He missed all the games that season and was fired by the bullet in1June, 993. After that, he went to the Nets, played 32 games for them, and retired in 1992-93 season. King scored 19655 points in his NBA basketball career, averaging 22.5 points per game.

Kim later told everyone that his biggest regret was that he didn't get the championship ring, and at the same time, he didn't enter the 20 thousand club. "But do you know what I will do?" What he said in 1993. "When I have time before winter comes, I will go to our backyard to score 350 points. That will fulfill my wish. "
