preface:
I said to Embiid, you know I can't afford to pay the fine, why are you still me? A few months ago, Alvarado clashed with Embiid during the game, so he suffered a technical foul and faced a huge fine, but as a loser, Alvarado did not have much money, he was just a two-way contract player for the Pelicans. In the end, the fine was paid for him by Embiid, and although Embiid said that he chose to pay the fine for Alvarado because he was impressed by his hard work, everyone knew that this in itself carried a kind of handout. Just three months later, Alvarado shined on the playoffs, and he wanted to use his strength to win the respect of others.
Teasing Paul the First Man
As we all know, Chris Paul is one of the best point guards in the history of the NBA, and even the media has named him the "God of Defenders". On the pitch, Paul almost never makes mistakes, whether it is the level of possession, or the insight of the game, he has to be superior, since Paul entered the league, he has been the best point guard in the league, even now old, still maintain a strong competitiveness. Paul has always been known for playing by his brain and being good at playing with other people's mentality, such as the most hated Paul Cousins is often blown up by Paul during the game, leaving a lot of famous scenes.
But what is unexpected is that one day Paul was also calculated by others, and it was Alvarado who calculated him, and in the first round of this year's playoffs, the Pelicans entered the playoffs as the ninth in the West, and they faced the Suns led by Paul. In these playoff games, Alvarado has made a very impressive impression, not only to the Pelicans a lot of help, but also to make Paul very difficult in the game. As we all know, Alvarado is known for being good at "stealing chickens and dogs", often seeing him ambushed in the bottom corner, waiting for the opponent to send the ball, he started from the backcourt, and then took the opponent's ball off the trend, because of his short height, this move was almost tried.
So Alvarado also used his own tricks on Paul's body, Paul rarely suffered a big loss in the game, although once Alvarado's sneak attack was recognized by Paul, and even Paul waved him to the side, but in the subsequent game, he still took out the ball in Paul's hand, and even when the point guard god had a nap, he had to say that Alvarado was really powerful. And in this round of the series, he is also extraordinary, not only has the famous scene of sneaking up on Paul, but also the moment of limiting Paul's eight-second dribble to half-time, which surprised everyone before the game. Although there is still a certain gap between his height and Paul, it is unbelievable that Paul cannot eat him.
Because Alvarado constantly engaged in Paul's mentality, it was rare for the Suns to let Paul give up his job of controlling the ball. The series also completely conquered the Pelicans' home fans, who even chanted Alvarado's name and the effort paid off. There are even fans who make things up and change Alvarado's Wikipedia to Paul's father, which is really a famous battle!
Little people also have spring
'He's always going to do his best and he's a really good player. This is the evaluation of the famous NBA star Barkley Team Alvarado, I have to say that his words are really to the point, Alvarado can stand in the NBA, not only rely on his steals like chickens and dogs, but precisely his spirit of never giving up. Because he is only 1 meter 8 tall and weighs more than 80 kilograms, for him, no matter which defender he defends, he does not have a physical advantage, but as long as Alvarado steps on the court, he strives to do his own defense, even if he is taken care of by the opponent, he has not given up, and he can not only do a good job of defense, but also complete the scoring in the game, such a player is really good.
Alvarado is indeed an insignificant person, the most important thing in the NBA is talented players, 1.0m8 height in this league can be said to be a small short, and he does not have paul's level of talent, can stand in the NBA, completely rely on his own court attitude. In March, he only had a two-way contract, and then Alvarado signed a four-year, $6.5 million contract with the Pelicans, which may be a rare amount of money for stardom, but for Elvarado, he has never seen so much salary, of course, the Pelicans are also good at him, if he does not have this positive attitude on the court, he will not get a contract.
To be honest, he showed a clear path to all players who are not so talented, as long as they work hard, they will be rewarded, especially on the NBA game, if you don't want to do nothing, then you should actively participate in the training ground, who said that people without talent can't play well? God closes a window, you can open a door by yourself, use your brain in the game, practice your own killing moves, these are more important than anything, and now Alvarado has been proud of the title of "Thief Old Six", which is not what he waited for, but he did.
epilogue:
Who says the little guys can't get a foothold in the NBA? Alvarado is undoubtedly a best example, from the no-name pawn who can't pay the ticket to the "thief old six" who signed a four-year contract, he has written his own story on the NBA field, in fact, success and failure are between a thought, on the stage of the NBA, talented people may not necessarily be eliminated, but hard people will certainly have the ability to stand here, hoping that Alvarado can still provide wonderful steals on the field. Our players need such an example, and the little ones can succeed!
