Wikins was not sure what he was wearing on the night when he first got the ring. He usually wears casual and low-key clothes, but this time he needs to dress more fashionable. The shiny green suit is obviously not his style, but how should he dress up in this highlight moment of his career? He stood in front of the cloakroom and studied his choice carefully.

Finally, Wikins chose cement gray T-shirts and black jeans to match black with white bottom sneakers. Simple and elegant, but also elegant, for him, the appearance of publicity is not necessary, his champion temperament is casual and free. He was always loyal to his own character, never overtook his role, never eager to prove himself, never responded to doubts, and never played a role to cater to others.
This is the charm of Wikins, and his relationship with the team finally blossomed. Why is he so suitable for Warriors? Why has this team, this city and team culture become his new home. Everyone welcomed him. Everything he had on the court could be maximized. He also knew that the four-year contract of 0.109 billion dollars just signed was far lower than the salary he earned now, but he answered like this in the interview.
“This team can bring me peace and I can be myself here. I feel that some people will say something like ‘we are a big family. But in Warriors, no one said so, but they would do so. Do you know what I mean? They will regard you as their family. Every family is willing to stay here because they treat everyone very well, just like world-class companies. And these teammates, everyone wants to win, we are in the same boat from the bottom to the bottom. We want to see each other’s success, which brings me peace.” Wikins said.
So the night with the ring is a celebration for Wikins to become his new home. But this new product is not literal, because he has been a warrior for three seasons. The new here is because he can take root here and build a new life under his new reputation. At that time, the seemingly distant community now welcomed him so much that as long as he could contribute to the team and fulfill his talent in the competition, he could become the championship.
The champion’s 22-point lead was only 12 points left in the game when only 4 minutes 56 seconds was caught by weishao. Wikins’ performance in the first three quarters was plain, and he scored 11 points 11 times, but now it’s time to win the game.
He fell into a singles situation with James at the bottom corner on the right, and the Warrior bench was behind. He did not hesitate at all. After prying, he retreated and stepped three points, and the ball was hollow into the net.
Two minutes later, he faced weishao’s defense in the high position. Curry was under the basket, Poole was flanking on the right side, and both were waiting for Wikins to operate. On the left side, he got rid of Wei Shao with the help of Luoni’s cover. Facing the heavy eyebrow defense, he retreated three points Cross-leg dribble.
In the next round, Wikins faced Wei Shao at a high position without any hesitation or even fengshui ball. He directly drew three points and the competition ended.
Wikins scored 9 points in a row in three minutes to make the game final. He scored 20 points in the opening match to help the team defeat the Lakers 123-109. In doing so, he showed his familiarity with the team system, proved that he was a reliable scorer, and always enjoyed the green light right in the team. But when he first arrived at the Warrior, he always needed everyone’s encouragement to turn on the switch to take over the competition. Now, no one will teach him how to do it, because now this is also his home and belongs to his team.
“I remember when the Wikins deal just happened in March 2020, I was very confident that he could integrate into it. And I think he can rewrite his story, not only an excellent flank, but also a flank that can contribute to the championship team. I think it has made great progress since the beginning, and I am glad that he can get a championship ring and a new contract. And it made him very confident that this was his home. Whenever the team makes a deal, you never know whether the new players can fit in. Thank goodness, Wikins has been perfectly adapted to us on the first day.” Curry said.
In fact, the story of Wikins chasing success started long ago. At the age of 15, he lives in sanhill, Ontario, and he has just finished his sophomore season. No one knew him at that time, nor did he know how good he played. He didn’t even rank in Canada, so he left his hometown and came to America. He works for Huntington Preparatory School in West Virginia, which is a college preparatory high school featuring basketball. After his senior three season, he has already ranked, and after graduating from high school, he has become a star player in the national high school.
This is also the last time he took the initiative to find success. In those years in Minnesota, he chose to avoid. When others called him a weak and failed player, he did not defend himself. He did not strive for respect on social media, and he did not use the media to reshape the story.
Wikins spent a lot of time digesting the comments from the outside world. He always kept a low profile and was as introverted as his mother. He was born with no worries about food and clothing, and his family supported him constantly, thus not lacking confidence and security.
“What most people think is reality. If someone says, ‘Oh, this guy doesn’t work hard. If I don’t say in public, ‘no, I work hard. Then everyone will catch this. But I am not the kind of guy who will express it publicly. I am the kind of ‘Think about what you want. ‘I will not let outside voices interfere with me. I know what I am doing. As long as I believe in me and my teammates, I don’t need other people’s opinions.” Wikins said.
Wikins didn’t even bother to watch his wonderful performance in the playoffs. 18 points 11 boards against Grizzly G6, 27 points 11 boards against lone ranger G3, 17 points 16 boards against Celtics G4 and 26 points 13 boards against G5. For most players, they will find time to relive their great performances, and some even play in a loop.
But Wikins, he was satisfied with the deduction on social media that he remembered to face Dong Qiqi. To be honest, he once claimed that he was not worried about scoring. He knew his scoring ability. Although he had less weight, he was not worried. What impressed him most in the playoffs was his rebound. He liked that he was recognized for his defensive efforts. Although scoring was the brightest part of the game. But winning the game needs to do those dirty work and tiring work. Winning can change the wind, surplus and influence.
Last year, he became an All-Star for the first time in his career, and now he wants to enter the best defensive squad.
“I want to be a legend here.” Wikins said.
“He was not so trustworthy when he first came. But now he looks different from the original and looks very positive. He is more peaceful than in the past, which is the impact of victory. He looks more confident, and so does he in training. You can see that the confidence that emanates from him is not that he was not confident in the past, but that the degree of confidence has changed a lot. This is the impact of the championship on the players.” Miles said.
People treated him differently, and he himself noticed it. But most of his career was labeled as health preservation, and now he thanks those positive comments. He knows how to deal with those comments. In the article, on social media, he can choose to turn a blind eye. When he resists criticism, he is like resisting the inside line opposite to the inside line. When people saw him with their own eyes, they never said anything negative. They only had love for him, and Wikins could handle it well.
Now he stays in the warrior. He is a champion and he finds many admirers. He also felt the significance of warriors to these and the love he gained as a winner. You can see more excitement from wikins’ eyes. He always greeted everything with a smile, and he entered a new realm.
This is also why, on the night of getting the ring, he didn’t consider spending too much time tangled with clothes. On this special occasion, nothing is more effective than his usual clothes. Simple T-shirts and hoodies are the most suitable for Wikins. However, for such an occasion, he chose an expensive T-shirt, wore a Cuban diamond necklace and a watch with a black surface and a strap full of diamonds. When Wikins thinks, he can also shine quietly.
