New sixth man for the Warriors, Chris Paul will not have waited long to write his name in the big history books of the franchise. Like last night, distributing 13 assists against the Thunder. For a Warriors replacement, this is unheard of since Keith Jennings in… 1994! If Golden State went for its former sworn enemy, it was for his tempo management, his composure at the end of a tight match, but also for his golden hands. Last night, CP3 did not lose a single ball!
Ultimately, this gives a record of 4 victories in five matches in close matches this season. “I really believe in stacking victories” explains the All-Star point guard. “We continue to find our feet on defense, after a brief training camp, the integration of new players and things like that. There are things we are still putting together and understanding, but we want to win games and find solutions at the same time. »
“It’s crazy to think that I can score one or two points, and that doesn’t stop us from winning”
Thirteen passes for no lost balls is exceptional at this level, and Stephen Curry greatly appreciates having a teammate capable of relieving him of the management of attacks, of their implementation, with such certainty.
“It’s an understatement to say that it’s impressive” reacts the hero of the evening. “He has this ability to see everything all over the field, and it was he who allowed JK (Jonathan Kuminga) to enter his match, to put him in a good position. He offers us more good positions, and he also allowed Dario (Saric) to move on… When he takes shots, it will be even more pleasant. But clearly, it’s impressive and I’m super jealous of his pass/lost ball ratio. That’s something I don’t have in my game.”
In the end, the only problem is this 0 out of 6 on shots, for a small point scored. Since the start of the season, Chris Paul is shooting 33%, including 0.4% from 3-point range… The All-Star leader has only made one 3-pointer out of 21 attempts!!!
“There’s nothing to do… But the good thing is that I know it’s not normal” he reacts. “It’s crazy to think that I can score one or two points, and that doesn’t stop us from winning. It’s quite a luxury! »
