He scored 50+ points back to back, and reached the peak of the Wizards and Warriors. Do you remember this Jamison?

Under the dome of the Auckland Arena in December 2000, the scoring card's scarlet 51 points burned the Utah Jazz's defense.

Antoine Jamison leaped up with one hand, and the arc drawn by the basketball was like a scalpel to cut open the iron curtain of Salt Lake City. 24 hours later, he scored 51 points in the Los Angeles Lakers again, becoming the first NBA to score 50+ back-to-back after Wilt Chamberlain. In the corner of the locker room, Warriors coach Dave Coins tightly grasped the technical statistics table soaked in sweat - the gorgeous data averaged 25 points and 9 rebounds per game flowed under the light, but could not illuminate the team's abyss of 29 wins.

Amid the hustle and bustle of the 1998 draft night, the name that the Toronto Raptors picked up in the fourth pick has not been remembered by fans, so they turned into Oakland's totem with the trade fax. Vince Carter flew to the cold northern border, while Jamison practiced eighteen attack secret techniques in Jinzhou:

→ Flexible singles to cross the muscle jungle;

→ One-handed ball-holding shots like a white crane spreading its wings to avoid the block;

→ Weaving a mid- and long-distance jump shot to weave a net to score.

When the timer of the 2000-01 season returned to zero, he became the seventh in the Warriors' history to average 25+ per game in a single season, the cheers at Oracle Arena were like stones thrown into the mud of record - the curse of missing the playoffs for five consecutive years, locking the future member of the 20,000-point club in the shadow. In 2003, Jamison took over the substitute suit handed over by Cuban. The core of the past averaged 25 points per game turned into a bench gangster, with 14.8 points and 6.3 rebounds like precision gear biting the Mavericks offensive chain. When the season's Sixth Man Trophy fell into his palm, he pointed to the team's record of 52 wins above - this sacrifice for the team's 12 points was more dazzling than the trophy metal. In the 2004 MCI Center, Jamison hugged Gilbert Arenas and Caron Butler in the brim. Three sharp swords tear apart the wastelands of the 23-year playoffs. He averaged 19.6 points and 7.6 rebounds per game, becoming the base for the capital's basketball revival. But fate played a change of tone at its peak - when the smoke of the "gun door" in the locker room dissipated, the movement of the Three Musketeers came to an abrupt end. In the cold wind in Cleveland in 2010, Jamison carried the scepter of LeBron James after leaving the team. Persistence of 18.9 points per game cannot stop the team's 19-game losing streak. During the years he was traveling to the Lakers Clippers, he switched roles at any time like a Swiss army knife. The technical statistics screen of the 2014 retirement night was frozen: the total score was 20042 points, the 44th place in history; two All-Stars, one for the best sixth person, and one for the best rookie lineup - this resume, which was buried in the dust of the record, was finally developed under the erosion of time.

In the morning light of the 2019 Wizards Training Hall, Jamison, in a well-suited suit, gently caresses John Wall's back. The offensive route outlined on the

tactical board can vaguely see the elegant afterimage of holding the ball with one hand. When the rookie asked him "how to face underestimation", the human resources manager pointed to the dome of the arena - there was no retired jersey, but there was a silent legend:

"Greatness does not necessarily require a crown, 20,000 yuan is the seal under the years."
