How did Alexander grow from "Current King" to the new king?

was carefully trained by the Clippers as soon as he debuted and is one of the league's most hard-working players in the past decade. Even though his debut was not favored, he still achieved his dreams through hard work and hard work.

He is Shea Gilgers-Alexander.

As a player who is neither famous for his physical talent nor is he good at speed, how did he firmly settle down in the team's boss step by step? Today we have a good talk about this rising star.

01 The emergence

Some people seem to exist for a certain cause innately. A young man who has just come into contact with basketball never thought that he was the founder of that new era. He enjoyed the happiness given to him by basketball in his repeated matches with his cousin, and was sweating freely on the court.

As time passed, Alexander gradually grew up. Although it was not dazzling enough, his diligent attitude and day-to-day training soon made him grow up, and the boy was also ready.

In the first two years after entering high school, Alexander was mediocre and could only play in the third team of the school team. Faced with the cruel competition, he was not discouraged. He always kept working hard and believed that he would have the opportunity to show himself.

Alexander ushered in a big explosion in his senior year, averaging 18.4 points, 4.4 rebounds and 4 assists per game, proving to the world his growth. With his continuous height and skillful dribbling skills, various data have been greatly improved and has been valued by the team. He can be said to be a young man who tasted the fruits of victory for the first time, growing up on his own in the unnoticed place.

After graduating from high school, he received invitations from several prestigious schools for his outstanding performance, but he understood that his goal was not the case. He always maintained his youthful city as always, and moved steadily towards the NBA's goals. After careful consideration, he chose the recruitment of famous coach Karipari, met his good mentor, and logged into the NBA with the help of the University of Kentucky.

In the university team, Alexander is still the player who makes people feel ordinary. He is only rated as a four-star high school student and has no competitiveness. However, he can still see a boy sweating in the stadium every morning. After the day of training, he will watch the video repeatedly, study every detail and polish his skills. This person is Alexander. He always keeps a low profile and moves steadily towards his goal.

is that gold always shines, and finally he ushered in his own feast. In a game where Kentucky could not lose, facing Tongzhou's arch rival Louisville University, Alexander made a substitute. He scored the team's highest 24 points. His performance won the trust of Karipari. He has since secured the start and led the team to defeat the decline. He was also named the MVP of the SEC Championship.

Even though he stopped in the quarterfinals in the subsequent "March Crazy" game, his ability has been proven that the time has come for him to enter the NBA.

02 Rising Stars Shining

After operation, the 2018 elective conference successfully entered the Clippers. Team consultant Jerry West believes that Alexander will definitely be a promising player. Alexander lived up to expectations and proved his ability in just nine games and secured his starting lineup. However, the NBA is a business league, and everything can happen at any time, and the turning point for Alexander suddenly came.

In 2019, the Clippers traded Alexander to Oxford for Paul George. We don’t know if he was in a state of turmoil at that time, whether he was worried that the new environment would not allow him to adapt, and could not allow him to display his talents, and he didn’t know where he should go, but he responded with his actual results. On October 24, 2019, the Thunder lost to the Jazz 95-100. Shay Gilgers-Alexander made his personal Thunder career debut, making 10 of 23 shots, scoring the team's highest 26 points, and 26 points was also a personal career high. On December 21, the Thunder defeated the Suns 128-106 at home. Shay Gilgers-Alexander played for 36 minutes, made 13 of 18 shots, scored 32 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, and set a career high of 32 points. At the same time, he became the third youngest player in the Thunder team's history with 32+.

With his learning from his teammate Paul, Alexander ushered in a comprehensive improvement. His dribbling skills and ball handling ability have been further improved, and he has gradually shown the potential of future stars. The second team of the NBA All Rookie Team in the 2018-19 season, the best team of the men's basketball World Cup in 2023, the first team of the NBA All Rookie Team in 2022-23, the first team of the NBA All Rookie Team in 2023-24 season... The boy wearing the No. 2 uniform walked step by step into the spotlight, and a wave of thunder new wind blew in the league.

His persistence and calmness shattered others' doubts again and again. Alexander would not be depressed by being ignored or complacent about his grades. He was still the boy full of fashion and sweating in the training room. He was constantly moving towards his goal.

I hope that he will remain healthy in his future career and win his era as soon as possible.
