What makes Chris Paul the best point guard?

Sohu Sports News On March 13, Beijing time, Paul was elected MVP in 11 more games in the NBA regular season; Two other excellent point guards are listed as candidates, Davis and Williams

MVP Chris Paul (New Orleans Hornets)

Paul chipped in 26 points and 17 assists to lead a 100-75 win over the Spurs, putting the Rockets at the top spot in the Southwest Division, with the Hornets currently half a win behind the Rockets and Spurs.

Paul himself shot 12-of-17, and most of his assists went to David West, who continued to hit opponents with accurate shots, and in the final 5:07 of the game, Paul assisted West on a three-pointer to make it 91-71, before both sides replaced their main players off the break. In the confrontation with Tony Parker, Paul won completely, and the French point guard made only 2 of 8 shots today, and was pulled into the foul trap by Paul early.

Candidate: Barron Davis (Golden State Warriors).

Davis contributed 23 points and 15 assists to lead the team to a 117-106 victory over the Raptors. In the game, the Warriors took an early 20-point lead, but in the final quarter, they were overtaken by their opponents. At the critical moment, Davis stepped up to avoid a shocking comeback for the Raptors.

In the last 6 minutes and 18 seconds, the Raptors took a 96-95 lead, and Davis delivered three assists in a row to lead the team to play an 8-0 shockwave and stabilize the situation. Davis then put together a team's final seven points, including a brilliant three-pointer, and the Warriors had the last laugh.

Candidate: Deron Williams (Utah Jazz).

Williams chipped in 26 points and 13 assists to lead a 114-110 win over the Bucks to avoid an ugly road defeat that the Jazz have a 14-20 road record this season. Williams has recorded a double-double in nine consecutive games, also his 41st of the season. Williams said

We've had a bad away record all season, sometimes we can beat the best teams in the league, but sometimes we lose to some mediocre teams. I want to help the team prevent this from happening again. Williams contributed 10 points and six assists in the first quarter as the Jazz took control early.

With his superhuman passing skills and invincible interception ability.

He is relatively fast in the course of the game, and then the rhythm of the outside is better, his body is strong, the steal ability is particularly strong, he is a very good organizational guard, the dribbling ability is relatively strong, the shooting rate is particularly high, the key time is particularly stable, can help teammates score, the steal speed is very fast, and has a particularly important role in the team's defense. Curry feels that he is more capable and has something to learn from him.

Chris Paul's shooting skills are particularly good, whether it is a mid-range shot or a three-point shooting rate, the speed is very fast, especially rhythmic, and the dribbling skills are amazing; Because Curry feels that Chris Paul has a particularly wide passing vision and his skills are very comprehensive, Curry calls him the god of point guards.

He can almost reach the point of being superbly good at dribbling, and in terms of breakthrough technique, he is good at using rhythm, and then he will distract the defender to complete the layup, and his shooting skills are also very good, and he has a high shooting percentage; Because he's the greatest point guard in NBA history, he's extremely aggressive.

The shooting technique is very good, he can shoot three-point shots, he can make pull-up jump shots, and he can shoot in the open position, because his point guard ability is very good, the shooting rate is very good, and there is no blind spot when he shoots, so Curry calls him the god of point guards.

Shooting skills are very good, maybe mid-range shots, maybe three-point shots, maybe pull-up jump shots, maybe open shots, because his point guard ability is very good, the shooting percentage is very good, and there is no blind spot when shooting, so Curry calls him the god of point guards.

He is very strong defensively, very flexible when defending, very flexible physically, very experienced, played a very key role and made a huge contribution to the team.

Because his physical fitness is better, his defensive ability is relatively poor, his interception ability is relatively strong, he can control the order of the game very well, and the defensive skills are particularly strong.

The reaction is very fast, and he has a very good ability to control the game. There are also a lot of skills, so there will be a good defense.

For the application of technology, the speed is fast and the physical strength is sufficient, and this person's defensive ability is indeed stronger than the average person.

When playing basketball, I will continue to train myself and improve my strength, and my basketball skills are relatively superb. Because his skills are stable, he can help his teammates, and he is relatively fast when passing, so he has such a title.

The technique is particularly comprehensive, first of all, the speed is very fast, and the passing vision is particularly wide. He's particularly ferocious, so helping his team win with his ball skills can make his teammates stronger.

The technical ability is very strong, can defend very well, the individual strength is strong, and there are many classic scenes, so it is called so.

The simplest reason is that the best point guard is not on the best team, or he hasn't made the team the best yet. In fact, Paul's best season for the Hornets (the 2007-08 regular season) saw them go 56-26 and just one win away from the Lakers, who are first in the West, meaning they almost finished first in the division. But if we look further down, all the playoff teams in the West at that time won 50 games or more.

Specifically, the eighth-placed Nuggets have only won seven games against the Lakers and are in first place in the division, with both eighth and first place in the West in 2014 being won on the road (with two games to go), and the East is even more exaggerated, with the Hawks 17 wins away from the Heat.

This shows that in the 2007-2008 season, the gap in the strength of the Western Conference playoff teams was not as large as the rankings suggested, and the sample of 82 regular season games was quite sufficient. At least that season, the Hornets weren't too far off from other teams, but the bench has struggled to improve, and the problem of the lack of a scorer on the bench was suddenly exposed to the opponent, without a perfect starting lineup, and on the other hand, Paul lacked teammates who were good offensively.

Then 2014 was Paul's third season with the Clippers, the first two seasons, the first of which was swept away by the Spurs after a hard-fought elimination of the Grizzlies. The following season, he reunited with the Grizzlies and lost 2-4, proving that the Clippers are not yet a strong enough championship team.

In his first two seasons, Griffin had never played superstar under Paul. The instability of mid-to-long range shooting and the weak attack in the low post are two major reasons. In the 2013-2014 season, Griffin surprised everyone during Paul's absence, helping the Clippers maintain a top-three record in the West.

The ranking in the top five or even the top three in the MVP list is a good affirmation for him. At the time, there was reason to believe that Griffin had a strong hope of playing his superstar in the 2013-2014 playoffs. When Griffin played superstar, it wasn't just about the pre-game performance of the Clippers, the time had come for the Clippers to really become a top team.

However, the fact is that Griffin did not play as well as he should in the 2013-2014 season, and in the end did not make the team a great team, even though Paul was very good in the regular season at that time, but there was a pig teammate who was also very tricky, and it was normal to not enter the division finals, and now Paul is in the Heat, this team has performed very well in the 2021-2022 season, and there is still hope to enter the division finals.

Chris. Paul is one of the NBA's most tragic heroes, and he has never been able to win the O'Brien Cup. Even though he is already in his thirties, he still remains competitive.

Paul's career has been on and off for many teams, but he has been able to make a huge difference in each team and has been outstanding in the team. Joining the Suns this season, he became the leader of the Suns, helping them return to the playoffs and reach the Finals. Although the Suns didn't win the championship this season, Paul has given everything he can and he can walk away with his head held high.

Paul's performance with the Suns was perfect. His arrival has taken the Suns up several levels, and he has taught the Suns' young players a lot, so the Suns' young players have exploded collectively this season. When Paul was on the floor, he was firmly in control of the tempo of the game and made the team's offensive and defensive transitions very fluid.

Once Paul misses the game, the Suns' strength has declined significantly, and he has already become the most indispensable star of the Suns.

Paul has been the spiritual leader of the team so far throughout his career. From the previous Hornets, to the Clippers, Rockets, Thunder and Suns, his performance at the point guard position can be said to be unparalleled. When the Suns were in trouble this season, Paul always stepped up and took the role of St. Paul and carried the team forward.

He was an inspiration to his teammates on and off the court, and all the Suns players paid their respects to Paul, who has been impeccable throughout the season and has done everything a leader should do.

As the big brother of the team, he teaches young players how to play with action and experience. He's always been one of the league's top point guards, and he's been in a very high level as he's gotten older. Paul has the ability to change a team, and the Thunder and Suns are great examples.

He broke his curse one after another, broke into the Finals for the first time in his career, and is expected to hit the championship, believing that the Suns will make a comeback next season.

Overall, I'm very satisfied with Paul's coming to the Suns this year, although the current record is a bit down, but the few games lost are lost at critical moments, and the Nuggets are also two games, and it is a pity to lose, one game could have been won, and Murray couldn't help but kill the magic stroke on the spot. If nothing else, I'm still optimistic about the Suns and Paul going forward, as I did with them at the beginning, in the 6th-8th position, and now in 8th place, which is just in line with my judgment at the beginning of the season.

The recent Suns record is not good, Paul's play is actually okay, the main problem is that the Suns are too obsessed with the 3-point feel, when the 3-point feel is good, the score will be pulled away quickly, if the hand is not good, the performance is a disaster, there will often be a lead of more than ten points, and then the opponent will pull it back, big ups and downs, people are very worried to watch. At present, Booker is injured, I think Paul can be "alone" and attack appropriately, the current Suns team's offensive initiation points are only Paul and Booker, and the other points are unstable, Ayton's offensive end is soft, and his performance fluctuates greatly, sometimes tough but sometimes not, and he needs to be further improved.

Chris Paul's performance with the Suns is fantastic, and although Chris Paul is now old, his team's playmaking ability is still very good.

The performance is very good, in fact, they really like this industry, so every time they play basketball, they are also very desperate and thoughtful.

Suns star Chris Paul was efficient, playing 35 minutes and 37 seconds on 8-of-14 shooting, 2-of-3 three-pointers and 3-of-3 free throws, finishing with 21 points, 6 rebounds, 11 assists and 1 steal.

Chris Paul has been outstanding in the team and has been relatively consistent, so I like him very much and support him very much.

Chris Paul is a super point guard. He has been impressive in the team and can control the rhythm and lead the game.

Chris Paul has been outstanding for the Suns, often reaching double-doubles in scoring and assists.

I feel like Chris Paul is okay in the team, but I feel like there's room for improvement.

His performance in this team is still very good, and he has played very well.

I think Paul has helped the team more. Although the two are both point guards, there is a fundamental difference between the two, Curry can score better, and Paul can serve the team better. It is equivalent to helping the team in scoring, and helping teammates get better results.

It can only be said that Curry's individual scoring ability is strong, and Paul's contribution to the team is even greater. The duo's help to the team can be analysed from the following aspects:

Clause. 1. Personal strength helps the team.

Both of them belong to the core players of the team, and they can bring different results to the team, compared to Paul Curry's strong scoring ability, Paul's ability to help the team is stronger, I think the point guard is an auxiliary role, as long as the teammates are assisted to bring better results to the team, Curry needs the help of teammates, I feel that this will lose the characteristics of a point guard, although Curry's personal scoring ability is higher than Paul's, but in terms of personal ability to help the team, Paul's strength is higher than Curry's, Because Paul is better at supporting his teammates and letting them score.

Clause. Second, the ability to act as a point guard.

Both are point guards for the team, and I feel like Curry isn't fully playing out his abilities at that position, and is more about excelling in individual scoring. A point guard is a playmaker, he has to lead his teammates to attack well, and pass the ball to the right teammates at the right time through his own ability, although the point guard is the one who has the most balls in a team, but he has to bring the ball down to the front court and let other teammates score. I think Paul did exactly that, but what about Curry?

He needs his teammates to play well for him to score.

From these two aspects, it can be analyzed that Paul is more helpful to the team than Curry, after all, one focuses on individual scoring and the other focuses on team performance, and the two are not on the same "level", and the models used are different. In fact, both of them are excellent players, if you say that Curry is definitely stronger than Paul, Paul will "complete" Curry in terms of helping the team.
