Paul Witnesses MVP Awards: No one doesn t like Alexander He will make it harder to defend after shooting three points

On May 23, there was a special guest on the sidelines of the G2 of the West Finals, who was 12th All-Star defender Chris Paul. An important purpose of Paul's trip is to witness the important moment of his former teammate Alexander receiving the MVP trophy.

"I usually don't have the chance to come to watch the game live, but I'm here to support Shay (Alexander) and the team. It's a special night for Shay, and he means a lot to me and my family. The season I played here was my first time leaving my family, and I had the opportunity to really get to know Shay. He is better than playing."

Speaking of Alexander's personality, Paul said: "He is actually very simple, very funny, and he loves to joke about it. Although it seems humble, it actually loves 'small thoughts'. If you chat with him, the topic is either shopping (he can go for a whole day) or watching basketball. He attaches great importance to family, which I appreciate. "

When talking about the key to Alexander's MVP, Paul said, "He is selfless and speaks in the game, and doesn't talk much. But I remember when we were teammates, we often talked about defense. The top players in the league are not necessarily the best defenders, but the key is that you have to try. Shay understands this, no matter which night, he goes all out on both sides of the offense and defense."

When talking about the outside world's evaluation of Alexander, Paul said, "No one doesn't like him, he is really likable. If someone doesn't like him, he may gossip in private, but he won't respond- He might post a 'emoticon' counterattack on social media. "

"We did study him. When I was at the Spurs this year, we beat the Thunder. Last year, after the Warriors played against them, Shay and I talked about three-pointers seriously. He used to rarely shoot three-pointers, but I said to him, 'You need to shoot more three-pointers. ' Now he's hard to defend because he can shoot three-pointers - in the past he only shot mid-range and layups, now he's a real 'three-threat' player." '

Now, Alexander has become an MVP, and Paul reveals some of his communication with him. "Some conversations don't have to be made public, but yesterday I said to him, 'You got one (MVP).' He said, 'This is just the first one.' Do you know what I mean? He will gain a long foothold in the league. Many people in the league are just 'teammates', but he is part of my family and I feel extremely proud of him."
