In the NBA regular season, the Suns won 115-110 at home to the Spurs, enjoying a ten-game winning streak. In this game, 37-year-old Chris Paul broke out, played 39 minutes, shot 9 of 16 shots, and efficiently cut 20 points + 19 assists + 8 rebounds + 1 steal + 1 block of the super double-double data, becoming the absolute hero of the Suns to win the game.
Under Paul's leadership, the Suns have soared this season and are currently leading the league with a record of 40 wins and 9 losses. The Suns are a young team, you know, a year ago they were the "fish belly" team outside the playoffs, but after Paul's arrival, the whole team has almost changed dramatically.
Last season, the Suns, with Paul + Booker + Ayton, played their best record in more than a decade, and they advanced all the way to the Western Conference Finals, defeating the Suns led by Paul George in the Western Conference Finals and successfully reaching the Finals. In the end, the young Suns lost to alphabet brother leading bucks, and they won the NBA Yakin for the 2020-2021 season.
However, under Paul's leadership, the Suns have given everyone too many surprises, and the growth of many young players in the team is very obvious, which is inseparable from the guidance of Paul, the NBA "master of control". Playing around Paul is hard to improve or not, and player stats are the best illustration, such as Biyombo, who has just arrived at the Suns, is a good example.
So far this season, Paul has averaged 14.7 points, 10.2 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 1.9 steals in 32 minutes per game, averaging 10.2 assists per game at the top of the league list. For the 37-year-old "advanced" veteran, such a performance is indeed a surprise. It is no exaggeration to say that Paul is the only veteran player in the active squad besides James who can maintain close to peak standards.
Now, the 37-year-old Paul is still fighting for his first NBA championship trophy, and he's at the heart of the Suns' championship race, which is really shocking. The reason why Paul has been "strong" for 20 years is inseparable from his self-discipline and hard work, coupled with the companionship and care of his wife Jada Crowley for 20 years, which also gives Paul great support.
The stable life with his wife and family has allowed Paul to play in the NBA with peace of mind, and as we all know, Paul has never had any lace scandals since entering the NBA, and his off-court life is very low-key, and he is a well-known "good man" in the NBA. It is the happy life of the family that makes the 37-year-old Paul have an NBA career of "immortal legend", hoping that he can realize his wish to win the championship as soon as possible!
