Chapter 32 Chris Paul

The Oklahoma City Thunder, formerly the Seattle SuperSonics, have had great fluctuations in their team's historical record.

In the 2011-2012 season, the Thunder won the Western Conference championship under the leadership of Durant, Westbrook, and James Harden. They lost to the Heat 1-4 in the finals. The defeat in the finals finally disintegrated the Thunder's three young players. Harden

He went to the Rockets, and then Durant also joined the Warriors to chase the championship. The Thunder, with only Westbrook remaining, welcomed the joining of Paul George, but they could not break out of the strong Western Conference. Paul George and Westbrook left the team one after another.

, on July 12, 2019, through trade, the team also ushered in its current lineup, led by Chris Paul, the former number one point guard in the league.

Chris Paul, the fourth overall pick in the first round of 2005, was selected by the New Orleans Hornets, starting his journey as the "Queen Bee". Paul won the Rookie of the Year in the 2005-06 season and was selected to the first team in his second year in the league.

In recent years, he has been a frequent player in both the first and second teams.

During the Queen Bee era, Chris Paul was as prolific in scoring and assisting as he was in the playoffs, but failed one after another in the playoffs. Paul also lost to Kobe Bryant in the MVP selection and missed out on the regular season Most Valuable Player award.

In 2011, Paul wanted to go to the Lakers to join forces with Kobe Bryant, but due to basketball reasons, he could only go to the Los Angeles Clippers, leading this team with a poor reputation and becoming one of the strongest players in the Western Conference. At that time, the Clippers were also known as the Los Angeles Clippers.

The city of connection, Paul is the origin of all this.asxs..

Failure, injury, defeat, disappointment, the curse on the Western Conference Finals floor has been haunting Chris Paul, leave.

Paul joined the Rockets and teamed up with Harden. Under coach D'Antoni, he became a member of the run-and-gun Rockets. The Rockets also had a good record. Paul also touched the floor of the Western Conference Finals, but injuries still prevented them from defeating them in the tiebreaker.

Enemy Warriors.

Paul was traded to the Thunder and led this unpopular team forward. After losing the Thunder's third young player, people thought that the team would fight for a ticket to the playoffs, but they did not expect that the Thunder was already a veteran.

Paul led the Thunder to fifth place in the Western Conference.

In the 16 years since he entered the NBA, Paul has won many honors, including Rookie of the Year, Double Team, All-Star MVP, and has been the assist leader and steal leader for many years.

Paul's best thing is not his scoring ability. In today's small ball era, Paul's scoring ability can only be regarded as average. What is most talked about is his ability to control the court. This was especially obvious during the Clippers period. Paul was present and absent.

It's not the same team at all. His defense and stealing ability made many opposing defenders complain.

Chris Paul is one of Radar's favorite players. Today I finally get to meet that idol. It's just that now there is a rookie who has just entered the league, and the other is a veteran who is facing retirement.

At the Chesapeake Energy Arena, a muscular bull rushed into the court, holding the Thunder flag, announcing that the game was about to begin.

Amid the shouts of the home DJ and the enthusiastic roar of the audience, cp3 came to the court.

Manu knew that Lida wanted to get to know Paul, so he took the initiative to take Lida to Paul's side.

"Hi Paul, long time no see!" Manu stepped forward and hugged cp3.

"Long time no see, old guy." Paul said.

Manu pulled the radar behind him in front of him and said: "cp3, this is our new Spurs player. You know, he performed very well. You are his idol. He wants to get to know you and hug you."

After hearing this, Paul smiled. Under his dark skin, his row of white teeth were particularly eye-catching. He took the initiative to open his arms and hug Radar.

It was Manu who said from the side: "This guy wants to surpass GDP, and of course he will surpass you!"

radar...

His face turned red. He was embarrassed to say this in front of his idol.

"I heard, but I think you are right. Give yourself a goal, which will give you the motivation to move forward." Paul nodded and said.

"Thank you, Chris, I'll try my best to do it."

Paul patted Radar's arm. It was rare for an Oriental to develop such strong muscles. Paul even saw the number 3 behind Radar and proposed exchanging jerseys after the game as a souvenir. Of course Radar was happy to do so.

"Hey, Ray, don't be soft on the court later," Manu said jokingly.

Radar also laughed. When facing Paul, he should be very wary and soft-hearted, that is, giving victory to the opponent, even if it is one of his idols.

"Don't worry, Manu, I will fight well."

The whistle sounded, and the starting lineup of both teams was: Spurs Radar, DeRozan, Gay, Ade, and Boltel.

Thunder: Chris Paul, Dennis Schroder, Andre Roberson, Gallinari and Adams.

Judging from the starting lineups of both sides, the Spurs are not inferior to the Thunder in the interior and forward. As for the shooting guard position, DeRozan is definitely better than Schroeder. After all, Schroeder is a point guard. So the one who determines the direction of the game is still

Let's see who can control the rhythm of the court better, Radar or Paul.

The Thunder took the lead in gaining the ball. Paul brought the ball to the frontcourt. Radar opened his arms. This was the first time he and Paul had played against each other, but it would not be the last.

I have no chance to play against Iverson and Wade because they have already retired and Paul is about to retire. The strongest No. 3 in the league may also change hands in the near future.

Paul gave the ball to Robertson, and Gay, who was facing him, was tall and had long arms. Robertson passed the ball back to Paul.

Paul is patting the ball with one hand and directing his teammates' movements with the other hand. What a great opportunity. Paul is a little distracted now.

Radar thought about saving some face for his idol. He was very old, but his hands refused to control him and he went to pick out the ball, and he succeeded.

In the tx sports live broadcast room, today's commentator is Wang Meng, the guest is teacher Ma Jian, and the female host is Xiao Yi, known as "Little Aunt".

Wang Meng said excitedly: "As soon as Radar opened the game, he completed the steal against Chris Paul for the first time. It was amazing. Radar, the person in front of you is the number one point guard in the NBA, Chris Paul. Although you have to add

The word once."

As the saying goes, a dead camel is bigger than a horse. After all, the aging first point guard has solid basic skills and experienced experience here. It can only be said that Paul was careless. He did not expect that Radar would strike quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly.

Paul: I keep talking about idols, I don’t want to lose face!

Others on the Thunder team did not expect that a rookie guard would steal from CP3 in the first matchup. Their reaction was a beat slow, and the speed of the radar was so fast that they could only eat exhaust from behind.

Seeing that there was no one three meters behind him, Radar showed off a dunk, jumped high, turned 180 degrees and dunked on his back.
