Two years before Paul was born, his parents gave birth to a younger brother. There are many sports fans in this family, and my father is older.
Lars is a die-hard cowboy, and Paul inherited his mother's athletic ability, including her father.
The man who is known as "the cold father" lives not far from Louisville. He is the founder and owner of Jones Company and the first African-American to run a gas station in North Carolina. Jones is a local legend. Many people know, like and respect him.
Paul learned love, discipline and basketball from his parents. Parents played an active role in the lives of their two sons. The two brothers received a lot of encouragement and expectation-study hard at school and get good grades; Swearing is not allowed; Playing CD games can only be done on weekends. If children dare to break the rules, they know what will be waiting for them-a wooden paddle with "correction board" on one side and "victim's signature" on the other.
Because of Paul's existence, my father bought a pair of "Fisher price" baskets and tied them with red ropes in the basement to make a stadium. Then he watched his son play basketball. Growing up in the shadow of Wake Forest, Paul is also a big fan of ACC.
In his childhood, football was his most concerned sport. Although he is not physically strong, he is fast, smart and an attractive leader. He was placed in the position of quarterback, responsible for running forward and defense, and his coach never let him leave. Paul hardly misses a game-it helps him concentrate on the game. When he learned that a coach who taught Paul football paved the ground with cement, he asked the coach to build a basketball court for his son on a nearby hill.
When Paul was ready to start studying at Wake Forest High School, he never had any illusions about joining the school basketball team. Paul's brother is the best athlete in this school. However, Paul and his brother stayed in the school team for two years, but the difference was 4 cm 1.8 m. As a teenager, he couldn't compete with his taller and stronger rivals.
After my brother went to Hampton University to receive a basketball scholarship, Chris finally began to show his performance in senior three. Paul has grown nearly 4 cm, close to 1.8 m, but his speed and agility have not decreased at all. He led Wake Forest to the semifinals of the 4-A Championship in North Carolina with 26 wins and 4 losses. In the game, he averaged 25 points, 5.3 assists and 4.4 steals, making him the best player.
When Chris was in senior three, his height finally jumped to 1.83 meters. A year later, when he graduated, he became the "Mr. Basketball" in North Carolina and was selected for the All-Star Team of McDonald's High School in the United States. Chris chose Wake Forest University, and in his first year, he was elected as the "Rookie of the Year" of the ACC League. The next year, his name appeared on the list of the best college students in America. Chris Paul knew the time was ripe, and he announced to the world that he would enter the NBA.
Chris paul studied at Wake Forest High School, won the McDonald's All-Star Team in 2003, and was nominated as Mr. North Carolina by Charlotte Observer in 2003. In his senior year, Paul averaged 30.8 points, 8 assists, 5 rebounds and 6 steals, leading the team to 27 wins and 3 losses, and entered the "4A Finals" in the Eastern Region. In a high school competition, Paul comforted grandpa with a score of 6 1.
From 2003 to 2005, Paul played for Wake Forest University basketball team under the guidance of coach speke. Paul became the best rookie in the Atlantic Coast League in 2003-04, the best player in the NACC League preseason in 2004-05, and the best player in the Associated Press. In 2005, he was unanimously elected as the All-American Star Team. In college, he scored 948 points, 395 assists and 160 steals.
Paul has a record of 84 steals in the ACC League, surpassing the previous record of 8 1 set by Jason Williams in Duke University 1999-00. He is the best rookie player in Wake Forest University's history. His steals, assists (183 times), three-point shooting rate and free throw shooting rate all ranked first, ranking third in the history of the university. Paul was also suspended for one game in March 2005, because he gave Julius Hodge an elbow in the game.
Paul was selected by the New Orleans Hornets in the first round of the 2005 NBA draft. In his rookie season, he was the first rookie in the league in scoring, assists, steals and playing time, which made him the best rookie in the NBA in 2006, and he was also undisputed among the first NBA rookie team and the Western Conference rookie of the month. Chris paul made his first triple-double in NBA on April 2, 2006 against Toronto Raptors. He scored 24 points 12 rebounds 12 assists in the game. After playing 105 games for the Hornets, he has won three triple doubles, averaging 16.7 points, 4.9 rebounds and 8. 1 assists and 2. 1 steals. In the 2006-2007 season, Paul averaged 17.4 points, 7.8 assists 1.8 steals. On February 16, 2007, he took part in the NBA All-Star Weekend Skills Competition in Las Vegas instead of the injured Steve Nash. In the subsequent NBA rookie challenge, he sent a record-breaking 17 assist and 9 steals.
Paul made 65,438+00 appearances in different levels of national youth teams. On August 4, 2006, he made his first appearance for the American basketball team and participated in a friendly match against Puerto Rico. Paul entered the list of the 2006 World Men's Basketball Championship, and the team lost to Greece in the semi-final. Beat Olympic champion Argentina in the third and fourth finals and won the bronze medal. He always sent 44 assists, 17 steals and 9 mistakes in the game.
The official NBA media commented on Chris Paul: "Chris Paul is another good choice for the defense line. There are several excellent short people today, and Paul's name should be the loudest. He is an almost perfect point guard and a more and more mature leader. He has made great progress in these years. In his freshman year, he beat Duke's Roden to become the best rookie in ACC division, ranking first in steals, which proved his contribution to defense. Chris is considered to be one of the top defenders in the United States and was selected by the U.S. under-20 national team. Vic Forest, the favourite to win the championship in March, was eliminated by West Virginia in the second round after two overtime hours. Although Chris saved the team with long-range artillery in the first overtime, he and his Wake Forest were destroyed at the last minute. For chris paul, who is only 19 years old, this experience will accumulate more experience for his future NBA journey to face a more unpredictable stage. Some scouts swear that Chris Paul can do anything in the backcourt, just like the former superstar Isiah Thomas, but maybe he will be the next Kenny Anderson. To be sure, he is at least a reliable backcourt organizer, even though Paul is not even 6 feet tall. The competition between Paul and Darren Williams will start from the draft. Perhaps Paul's ranking can be improved because his affinity can effectively promote the team's box office. "
