For today's fans, Loy Watt's name is strange and far away. But in the dark years of the Clippers in the 1990s, he was a big man who silently carried dirty work in the penalty area - from the NCAA championship puzzle to the NBA blue-collar backbone, although his injury had a wing-breaking career, it was hard to hide his brilliance for the Clippers.
Walter's story begins at the University of Michigan. During his time at the service, he was not shining, but he was a stable force in the inside. In 1989, he won the NCAA national championship with the team and became the "blue-collar puzzle" in the championship lineup - although he had no gorgeous data, he used position and confrontation to build a solid foundation for the inside line.
In 1990, the Clippers selected Water with the 13th pick in the first round. When he first entered the NBA, he had no explosive dunks and gorgeous offenses, but he became a "stable barrier" in the Clippers' interior with his position at the basket, confrontational ability and solid basic skills:
The rise of substitutes: the substitute played in the first three seasons, and the data rose year by year; starting highlights: the starting lineup in the 93-94 season, scoring in double points; the 95-96 season (Season 5) was at its peak, averaging 17.5 points and 9.7 rebounds per game, becoming the top blue-collar worker in the league; stable output: a double-double for two consecutive years, becoming the "stabilizing needle" in the Clippers' turbulent period - You know, the Clippers were not a strong team in the 1990s, and his persistence was even more rare.
In 1997, serious injuries hit, the quality of the Water game plummeted, and the Pistons, Mavericks, and Wizards began to wander. Frequent knee injuries dragged down his body, and in 2001 he chose to retire and ended his 11-year NBA career.
His career has been ups and downs due to injuries, and Watt's name is still engraved in the Clippers' rebound list. In the dark years of the Clippers in the 1990s, he was low-key and reliable. He used 11 years of persistence to interpret the value of blue-collar players - he was the supporting role of the times, but he was the "inside backbone" in the memory of Clippers fans.
