Paul witnesses MVP awards: Nobody doesn't like Alexander He gets harder to defend after he shoots three-pointers

On May 23, Beijing time, there was a special guest on the sidelines of G2 in the Western Finals, he was Chris Paul, a 12-time All-Star guard. An important purpose of Paul's trip was to witness the momentous moment when former teammate Alexander received the MVP trophy.

"I don't usually get the chance to come and watch the games, but I'm here to support Shay [Alexander] and the team. It was a special night for Shay, and he meant so much to me and my family. The season I played here was the first time I had lived away from my family, and it gave me the opportunity to really get to know Shay. He's better than he plays. ”

Commenting on Alexander's character, Paul says: "He was very simple, funny, and a joker – and although he looked humble, he was actually very fond of 'broken thoughts.'" If you talk to him, the topic is either shopping (he can go shopping all day) or watching basketball. He values his family, which I appreciate. ”

Referring to the key to Alexander's emergence as MVP, Paul said: "He's very selfless, he talks with the game, he doesn't talk much. But I remember when we were teammates, we used to talk about defense. The best players in the league aren't necessarily the best defenders, but the key is that you try. Shay understands this, and no matter what night it is, he gives it his all on both ends of the floor. ”

Referring to what was said of Alexander, Paul said:Nobody doesn't like him, he's really likable。 If someone doesn't like him, they may gossip in private, but he won't respond – he may fight back with a 'meme' on social media. ”

"We did study him. When I was at the Spurs this year, we beat the Thunder. After the Warriors played them last year, Shay and I had a serious conversation about the three-point shot. He used to shoot very few threes, but I said to him, 'You need to shoot more.' He's hard to defend now because he's going to shoot threes – he used to shoot from mid-range and layups, and now he's a true triple threat. ”

Now that Alexander has become the MVP, Paul has revealed some of his interactions with him. "Some conversations don't have to be public, thoughYesterday I said to him, 'You've got one. He said: 'This is only the first one.' ’You know what I mean, right? He's going to be in the league for a long time. A lot of people in the league are just 'teammates', but he's part of my family and I'm incredibly proud of him. ”
