他是一位挡拆大师,杰出的运球投篮射手和防守者的噩梦。也是一位领袖,一位常胜将军和过去25年来最可靠的关键先生之一。
简而言之,克里斯保罗是NBA历史上最好的控球后卫之一。而且他在36岁的年纪仍然坚挺。
截至目前,保罗在历史抢断榜排第五,历史助攻榜排第三,他在赛场上送出过无数次妙传。
保罗来自于北卡罗来纳州,2002年他因在West Forsyth 高中的一场比赛中豪取61分而广受关注。他的外祖父在比赛的几天前被杀害,享年61岁。高三时,他入选全美最佳高中生阵容,被媒体称为北卡篮球先生。
在为维克森林大学篮球队效力两年之后,他在2005年被新奥尔良黄蜂队用四号签选中。他在2005年的NBA夏季联赛中就展现了非凡的潜力。
在2005年8月飓风卡特里娜席卷新奥尔良州后,黄蜂队搬到了俄克拉荷马州,保罗在这里度过了他前两个赛季。他是NBA历史上第九位首个赛季就场均得到15分,5篮板,5助攻以上的新秀。他带领黄蜂获得了38胜44负的常规赛战绩,比上个赛季多了20个胜场。保罗在2005-06赛季获得了,只差一票就全票胜出。
在回到新奥尔良的那年,2007-08赛季的黄蜂队成为了全联盟进步最大的队伍,常规赛获得56场胜利,成为了西部二号种子。保罗也在这年首次入选全明星,而且仅在生涯的第三个赛季就荣获一阵。
他也首次打进了季后赛。黄蜂队首轮击败了达拉斯独行侠队,而且保罗在系列赛G5中砍下三双数据。
黄蜂队在接下来的四年中三次打进季后赛,保罗只打了45场比赛的那个赛季(2009-10赛季)黄蜂未进入季后赛。在2011-12赛季开始之前,保罗被交易到了快船队,他很快使快船队成为了联盟劲旅。保罗在快船队的六年期间,快船全部打入季后赛,而在此之前的 41 个赛季中快船队只进过 7 次季后赛。
2015年,保罗在首轮对阵卫冕冠军马刺时奉献了一次伟大季后赛表演。他13投9中砍下27分,比赛还剩一秒时,保罗在身体的失衡的状态下奉献了一记准绝杀。
球迷们因欣赏保罗的球技,传球和他指挥防守的能力而称他为控卫之神,他的生涯充满了值得回忆的瞬间,他运球的技巧也得到了充分的展现。
他自己也是一个忠实球迷,大家都知道他会在没有比赛的晚上观看多场比赛,并且经常为教练组提供统计数据和视频网站。他观察并知晓如何防守每种挡拆战术,而且他已经成为25年来最好的中距离投手之一。他明白当他到达他的甜点位(右肘区附近)时,他甚至不需要看篮筐就可以命中投篮。
保罗十分健谈,不论是在激励队友的时候,提供建议时还是向对手喷垃圾话时或要球的时候。
保罗拥有两块奥运会奖牌,11次入选全明星,10次入选最佳阵容,9次入选最佳防守阵容。在生涯的16个赛季中,他13次打进季后赛。但是在2018年他所在的火箭队成为一号种子之前,他每次的季后赛之旅都始终难以摸到西决地板。在赢得西决G5后,火箭队系列赛大比分3-2领先与勇士队,但这时保罗却遭受了腿筋伤势,那使他缺席了G6和G7,勇士队也因此逆转了系列赛。
火箭和雷霆生涯结束后,在2020-21赛季开打之前保罗被交易到了菲尼克斯太阳队。在他生涯的第16年,他带领一支上赛季未能打进季后赛的队伍一路杀进了总决赛。
“他是这场比赛中最伟大的领袖”在保罗砍下32分9助攻并带走G1的胜利后德文布克说道。“即使当他只能待在更衣室时,他依然每天带领着这支球队,我甚至还没有提起他任何在场上的表现,那完全将我们的球队带到了一个新的高度”
事实上,在他的新秀赛季,保罗就带领黄蜂提升了20个胜场。在他到了洛杉矶以后,快船队的战绩由32胜50负提升到了40胜26负。当他被交易到休斯顿,火箭队相比于上个赛季提升了10个胜场。而且他在菲尼克斯的第一个赛季,太阳队战绩就增加了17个胜场。这位控卫之神还在显灵。

A master of pick-and roll execution, an elite shooter off the dribble and a pest of a defender. A leader, a winner and one of the most clutch players of the last 25 years.
Chris Paul is, simply, one of the best point guards in NBA history. And at the age of 36, he’s still going strong.Paul ranks fifth all-time in steals and third all-time in assists, with countless highlights among all those dimes.
A native of North Carolina, Paul gained national attention in 2002 when he scored 61 points in a game for West Forsyth High School, honoring his grandfather, who had been killed days earlier at the age of 61. As a senior, he was a First Team All-American and was named Mr. Basketball for the state of North Carolina.
After two years at Wake Forest University, Paul was selected with the fourth pick in the 2005 Draft. He joined the New Orleans Hornets, and his potential was on full display at the 2005 NBA Summer League.
After another season in Oklahoma City, the Hornets returned to New Orleans, and they were one of the league’s most improved teams in 2007-08, winning 56 games and earning the 2 seed in the Western Conference. Paul was named an All-Star for the first time and earned First Team All-NBA honors in just his third season in the league.
The Hornets reached the playoffs in three of the next four seasons, with the only exception being the season (2009-10) in which Paul played only 45 games. Then just before the 2011-12 season, Paul was traded to the LA Clippers, where he quickly turned the Clippers into contenders. The Clippers reached the playoffs in all six of Paul’s seasons in Los Angeles, having done so just seven times in their 41 seasons prior to that.
One of Paul’s greatest playoff performances came in Game 7 of the first round against the defending champion Spurs in 2015. He scored 27 points (on 9-for-13 shooting) and hit the game-winner — an off-balance runner off the glass — with one second remaining.
Paul has earned the nickname “Point God” from hoop heads who appreciate his handles, his passing and his ability to manipulate defenses. His career is filled with memorable moments where his dribbling skills were on full display.
He’s a hoop head himself, known to watch multiple games on nights he isn’t playing and have accounts for stats and video sites usually reserved for the coaching staff. He’s seen and knows how to beat every kind of pick-and-roll coverage and has become one of the best mid-range shooters of the last 25 years. He knows that if he can get to his spot (around the right elbow), then he doesn’t need to even look at the basket.
Paul is a talker, whether it be to motivate his teammates, to offer some advice, to rattle opponents or to demand the ball.
Paul has two Olympic gold medals, 11 All-Star selections, 10 All-NBA selections, and nine All-Defense selections. In 16 full seasons in the league, he’s reached the playoffs 13 times. But trips deep into the postseason eluded him until he reached the conference finals with the No. 1 seed Houston Rockets in 2018. And as the Rockets were finishing off a Game 5 victory to take a 3-2 series lead over the Warriors, Paul suffered a hamstring injury that kept him out of Games 6 and 7, both won by Golden State.
After another season in Houston and one in Oklahoma City (with the Thunder this time), Paul was traded to Phoenix before the 2020-21 season. And in Year 16, he led a team that missed the playoffs the year before all the way to The Finals.
“He’s the greatest leader to play this game,” Devin Booker said after Paul led the Suns to a Game 1 victory with 32 points and nine assists. “He leads this team daily, and just having him in the locker room … I’m not even talking about anything he does on the court … it takes a team to that next level.”
Indeed, in his rookie season, Paul led the Hornets to a 20-win increase. Upon his move to L.A., the Clippers went from 32-50 to 40-26. When he was traded to Houston, the Rockets won 10 more games than they did the season before. And in his first season in Phoenix, the Suns saw a jump of 17 wins.
And in Year 17, Paul remains one of the best floor generals in the league.
