After preventing Paul from violating the law for 8 seconds and successfully stealing Paul, the Pelican thief Jose Alvarado was on fire! American fans call him "Rogue", and Chinese fans call him "Old Sixth" or "Sixth Master". The small defender, who is 1.83 meters tall and has an arm span of 1.85 meters, has conquered many fans with his defensive instincts and never-say-die spirit. In the G4 match between the Suns and pelicans, pelicans home fans chanted "Jose! Jose! Jose!", the atmosphere was very warm!
High school had a four-double statistic
Alvarado's earliest exposure as a child was not basketball, but American football. However, he injured his own neck and then switched to basketball. He started his basketball career at a high school in New York and quickly showed his talent for steals. On December 23, 2016, the final year of his high school season, Alvarado scored 18 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists and 10 steals in a game, the first quadruple-double in the history of his high school team.
Perhaps because of his limited height and talent, Alvarado is not optimistic, and the 247 Sports Network only lists him as a three-star high school student (preferably five stars), ranking 179th in the United States! Eventually, he joined Georgia Tech, averaging 13.5 points, 3.6 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 2.1 steals in four years of college. In the history of the NBA, there are 41 players from Georgia Tech, the most famous being Bosh, Marbury and Mark Price, and as a loser, Alvarado is certainly not remarkable.
He has tried to train the Lakers to perform well
Alvarado has tried out some teams, including the Lakers, and according to Lakers media reports, Alvarado has performed well in his trials, and the scouting department likes him very much and has a good evaluation of him. However, when they finally chose the signing target, they still picked Reeves, who was relatively better in physical condition, and did not choose Alvarado.
Alvarado later signed a two-way contract with the Pelicans and conquered the team with his performances, eventually regularizing on March 29, 2022, with a four-year, $650 contract. On that day, he posted his signing photo on social media, and his face was full of bright smiles. He wrote in the caption: "After everything, nothing scares me. I gave it all, and that's why I'm here. "A number of players, including Mitchell and Thomas Jr., praised him.
The 2-year-old daughter successfully grabbed the camera
At today's press conference, Alvarado's 2-year-old daughter appeared, beautiful and cute, and successfully grabbed the camera. His daughter, named Nassanin, was born to Him on February 5, 2020, by Alvarado's girlfriend Flo.
In the week of Nashanin's birth, Alvarado's then-college coach joked that he told the baby would not be born until after an important game that week. "She was obedient," the coach said, "and I said, 'Listen to your dad is stubborn, so you have to listen to the coach.'" ’”
After Nashanin was born, Alvarado also posted a photo of himself holding his daughter on social media, with a birth time accurate to 8:25 a.m. on February 5, 2020. Now, he has worked hard to gain a foothold in the NBA and can bring a better life to his daughter. The Pelicans are currently in a 2-2 draw with the Suns, and the Battle of Tianwangshan between the two sides will be played at 10:00 a.m. Beijing time on April 27.
