In 2002, chris paul's fame began to show. He won a scholarship from Wake Foster University for his outstanding basketball performance. Then one day, he learned the biggest bad news of his life, which came from him? His grandfather, his best friend, was murdered by five teenagers who tried to rob him On this day, the 6 1 year-old black father is still looking forward to watching his grandson's game.
Facing the death of this relative who had a profound influence on his basketball career, chris paul made a decision: he will get 6 1 point in the next game to pay tribute to his grandfather who died at the age of 6 1.
The teenager intends to vent all his sadness in the opponent's basket. He's like a dead assassin. Shui Han, the strong man is gone forever? . Chris paul, who became famous as a young man, enveloped the whole stadium with his murderous look with his speed far exceeding that of his peers and unparalleled skills. This is the most emotional battle of a ruthless assassin. The jumping numbers on the scoreboard and chris paul's increasing scores seem to reflect the life of a 6 1 year-old man, and this life certainly includes his unforgettable memories with little Paul.
59 points, 6 1 minute? When chris paul stepped onto the free throw line, his score was 6 1. With an intentional free throw missed, he turned and left the court, then threw himself into his father's arms and burst into tears. Only when we throw ourselves into our father's arms can we feel that he is still a teenager!
Time urges teenagers to grow up quickly, and the train of years sets sail.
Queen Bee: Bitterness and Tears
In 2005, the best NBA star in Wake Forest University's history seems to have been decided? Tim duncan, chris paul's senior, is the best power forward in NBA history (at that time, Duncan had won three gold cups and three glittering FMVP trophies. )
It is not shameful to follow the old path of such a senior, but it is glorious. Just as chris paul followed tim duncan's footsteps to join Wake Forest University, this time, there is still a bright road ahead of him. Australian giant Bogut and all-around striker marvin williams ranked in the top two in the 2005 draft; The next choice is distressing. Deron Williams and chris paul, a pair of peerless and arrogant point guards in 2005, were always regarded as lifelong enemies before entering the NBA.
In the end, Utah jazz won Deron; The New Orleans Hornets are glad that Paul joined them.
Chris paul's career with the Hornets is a long story. He has enjoyed the pursuit of greatness and experienced vicissitudes and failures. From the queen of the new bee to the MVP battle with Kobe; From the discouragement of wounded soldiers to the high-spirited playoffs; Chris paul is the captain of this team. Although his behavior is not perfect, it is beyond the scope of due diligence. In an era when it is difficult to succeed alone, when chris paul is at his best, there are not enough teammates around him. Peja, Chandler, david west? A team built for his needs lacks enough talent and fighting strength? At its peak (2008), facing the challenge of San Antonio, it fell after the Seventh World War.
And the data of chris paul's seven games: 23.7 points 10.7 assists, 2.6 steals and 50.4% shooting percentage. Who can say that he doesn't play well?
When the alliance is a piece of paper? Basketball reason? Chris paul and Kobe Bryant were prevented from joining forces, and he was unexpectedly sent to another team in Los Angeles.
The train of years carries frustrated teenagers to a wandering life.
Captain: destiny is invisible, and you can't refuse it. ：
City of angels, I haven't heard the sound of the L.A. Clippers for years. When people looked up, it was an energetic teenager from New Orleans who asked them to face the Clippers again.
The Los Angeles Clippers is still a team built around Paul, but it is a luxurious upgraded version of the New Orleans era.
Talent champion Lang, a tough guy who averaged 22+ 12 per game in the rookie season, is a luxury upgrade.
De Andrew Jordan, a muscular man who debuted in the second round, perfectly replaced tyson chandler's blue-collar job under the guidance of chris paul.
Lei Dike, who contributed to the Clippers in a single season, averaged 2.7 3-pointers and shot 47.5%. At that time, the most accurate three-pointer beat Stephen Curry.
Crawford, the sixth man in the empty city. Than? Jane Luo Napagol? Better than the last one? Bobby jackson? Scorer.
The third is where the clippers come and go.
The crux of the empty city came out like this: the wavering No.3 position, the glass property of Fenfen, a violent shorthand, and chris paul after the big injury was far from being able to bear the offensive responsibility of the Hornets.
In those years, the Clippers finished third in caron butler, who was older, matt barnes, who was born a few days earlier than caron butler, and paul pierce, who was grinding worn tires in Washington. As for Barmot and wesley johnson, they have never scored more than 10 in a season in their careers.
This is the third seat of the clippers. It carries the joys and sorrows of veteran Hui Yu and role striker.
City of angels's bizarre injury almost ended Bryant's glorious career ahead of schedule, trampling on the dignity of the Los Angeles Lakers giant in the year-after-year lottery draft. However, it was not satisfied and aimed at the rising star of city of angels, Ran Ran? Los Angeles Clippers.
After chris paul was seriously injured, his personal attack power dropped sharply; Griffin's injury playfully ruined the playoffs of 16 and 17.
Back in the 15 playoffs, the Clippers' peak trip was almost a repeat of the Hornets' failure in 2008, and they lost in the second round tie-break. In 15, there is obviously more ridicule and regret. Houston Rockets, the Clippers were defeated by Houston substitute 40- 15 even when they were greatly behind in the third quarter before the Sixth World War.
In the end, it ended in a tiebreaker failure, which was the closest moment for chris paul to lead the team alone. Twice, seven years apart.
Everything is coincidence, everything is accidental, just like the invisible arrangement of fate.
Chris paul's next stop was arranged by an invisible fate, and the train of years arrived in Houston.
Rockets: Compromise and Concession
Come to Houston. Chris paul compromised. He is no longer the center of the team, but he is willing to be the second-in-command around james harden.
Twelve years passed like running water, and my body grew old in the wind. Years have left scars and pains on chris paul, taking away his youth and the speed of an arrow, but not his passion for basketball.
In the first year of the Rockets, he averaged 7.9 assists per game, only slightly higher than the rookie season. This is a compromise that chris paul chose in the 13th year.
Compromise does not mean giving up. In order to achieve greater victory, sacrifices and patience must be made.
In the playoffs, chris paul scored 40+, breaking into the Western Conference for the first time. Facing Curry Durant Thompson's luxurious lineup, he is no longer alone, and james harden, the MVP, is standing beside him. Houston binary stars standing side by side can't tell who is standing next to whom.
When Paul of 1.8m faced Durant of 10, he felt a kind of excitement, resentment or some inexplicable emotion. Time seemed to go back to 10 years ago, and people seemed to see that young boy, the queen of New Orleans, the once-in-a-lifetime god of birth control.
However, time waits for no one. Paul, 32, can't consume his body as he did when he was 22. Time's revenge always comes slowly, but it often brings a fatal blow.
Injuries dragged down the veteran and the Houston Rockets in seven games.
The train of years drifted away, taking away chris paul, who left two years of regret in Houston, and sending him to Oklahoma City Thunder.
Thunder: Time has never spared anyone, and I have never spared time.
Russian cities are small, but they have everything.
Although Westbrook and paul george were traded, there is still a team in Ohio that doesn't seem to need to be destroyed.
They have a young star Alexander, a conscientious blue-collar center Adams, Gallinari who is familiar with all kinds of offensive means in the No.3 and No.4 positions, and chris paul who is getting old as a substitute for Private Schroeder.
Spending the last few years of his career in a declining town is obviously not chris paul's pursuit. And thunder, who has a lot of draft picks, is also worried that the team will not get results?
There are countless reasons for a team to let go of two superstars and a lot of draft picks. But they're not bad enough.
Supporting a core who can't win the game or letting everyone who wants to win get rid of it are two choices that ruin the team. Ohio doesn't seem to have made any decision, or they are waiting for an opportunity.
But before the arrival of this moment, chris paul has achieved enough veteran demeanor.
Indulge Alexander in all kinds of reasonable or unreasonable singles, reduce his desire for control, get appropriate scores, do appropriate organizational tasks, and inspire his younger generation with a winning heart.
Paul has averaged 15.7+6. 1 so far this season. When he was a rookie, the data was 16. 1+7.8.
Chris paul is old, and he needs to make some necessary concessions.
The train of years roared again. What will be the next stop in chris paul?
