Chris Paul grew up in an ordinary family in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, USA.

[3]

His parents also gave birth to an older brother 2 years before Paul was born. There are many sports fans in this family. His father is a die-hard Dallas Cowboys fan, and Paul inherited the athletic ability from his mother's side, including his father.

The man known as the "cold father" lives not far from Louisville. He was the founder and owner of Jones and was the first African American to operate a gas station in North Carolina. Jones is a local legend who is known, liked and respected by many. Fatherhood

No one could be closer to that “cold dad” than Paul. He enjoys working with his grandfather, helping him replace the air filter with a new one, wash the windshield that tells him to stop refueling, etc.

Paul considers his "cold dad" his best friend. There was nothing to talk about between him and him.

Paul also has a very good relationship with his brother - so good that he can't stand it at times. The younger brother always follows behind his elder brother. Paul's brother and his friends often viewed him as a liability. With his simple heart, he never knew the right time to speak.

Paul learned love, discipline and basketball from his parents. The parents played an active role in the lives of their two sons. The two brothers received a lot of encouragement and expectations - they had to study hard and get good grades in school; they were not allowed to swear; they could only play CD-ROM games on weekends. If children dare to misbehave, they know what's waiting for them - a wooden paddle with "Correction Plate" written on one side and "Victim Signature" written on the other.

Because of Paul, his father bought a pair of "Fisher-Price" basketball hoops and tied them with red rope to make a court in the basement. Then he watched his son play basketball. Having grown up under the shadow of Wake Forest, Paul is also a die-hard ACC fan.

A fan of rugby

However, as a child, rugby was the sport he cared about most. Although he is not physically strong, he is fast, smart, and a charismatic leader. He was placed at quarterback, running back and defending, and his coach never let him leave the field. Paul rarely misses a game - this allows him to concentrate on the game. When Paul's father learned that one of Paul's football coaches was laying a field with cement, he asked the coach to build a basketball court for his son on a nearby hill.

When Paul prepared to start college at Wake Forest High School, he never had any illusions about making the varsity basketball team. Paul's brother is the best player in this school. However, Paul still followed his brother in the school team for two years, but he was still 4 centimeters short of 1.8 meters. As a teenager, he had no way to fight against taller and stronger opponents.

After his brother went to Hampton University to receive a basketball scholarship, Chris finally started to perform in his third year of high school. Paul has grown nearly 4 centimeters to nearly 1.8 meters, but his speed and agility have not decreased at all. He led Wake Forest to a 26-4 record and reached the semifinals of the North Carolina 4-A Championship Game. During the game, he averaged 25 points, 5.3 assists and 4.4 steals per game, becoming the best player.

Reese Paul was born, and the team's name changed again to "Chris's Crushers." In the basement, Charles and Robin installed a basketball hoop to give the two children a private space to practice ball, and the two boys began to have a great time playing.

"When my younger brother was in his freshman and sophomore years in high school, he was only 1.67 or 1.69 meters tall, but he was always very active, active, and combative on the court. I know that if he grows a little taller, he will be better.

Must be good basketball material," Paul's brother recalled.

Advantages

Paul has all the abilities of a defender. Not only can he help his players score, he can also maintain a stable hitting rate and be selected as an All-Star at critical moments. His breakthroughs are very sharp. In addition, Paul is extremely good at stealing, which plays an important role in the team's defense. He has become the leader of the team. In addition, Paul's excellent three-point shooting skills are also one of his fatal weapons. At the same time, Paul has a passing vision that other defenders cannot match, as well as excellent overall situation and organizational skills.

Let’s analyze Paul’s offense and defense in detail.

1

Shooting skills: Paul's shooting skills are very good. Whether it is a mid-range shot or a three-pointer, whether it is a pull-up jump shot or an open shot, his shooting percentage is good. And his shooting basically has no blind spots. If there is a drawback, it is that it is a little slow when shooting three-pointers.

2

Breakthrough skills: Paul's breakthrough speed is definitely not fast. He is better at using rhythm to pass the opponent in the first step, and then using fake moves to distract the defensive players to complete the task. His layup selection is very smart, so his blocked rate has always been one of the lowest among guards in the league. When he was completely healthy, Paul's breakthroughs were more "violent". After recovering from his serious injury (less Half a meniscus), he reduced his breakthroughs and paid more attention to the organization of the team. But as long as the team needs it, he will never be "soft".

3

Dribbling skills: "Thousands of flowers pass through, and no leaves touch him." Paul's ball-handling skills have reached a superb level. When he broke into the penalty area, There is no slowdown, which makes the opponent's defensive players unable to judge whether it is an assist or a layup, and cannot complete a double-team. In addition, the extremely low turnover rate also better illustrates Paul's extremely terrifying ball control ability. Therefore, when teams in the league defend him, they often set up a dragnet to force him to make mistakes.

Under such harsh conditions, Paul can still deliver the highest assist-to-turnover ratio in the league.

4

In terms of assists: Although there is still a gap between him and the master, as long as he stays healthy, he will become one of the greatest point guards in NBA history.

5

Defensively: Don’t underestimate his height of 1.83. In fact, his defense is very oppressive. He has won the league’s steal title four times, making him the first in history. A coach once said that he is the only player who can steal without losing his defensive position. And he's good at assisting defense. It's just that he is short in stature, and sometimes he is unable to defend the opponent's tall and fast guards. The best evidence is that Chauncey shot 8 three-pointers in one game in the 08-09 playoffs.

Disadvantages

Short stature is Paul's fatal flaw. Although his height of 1.83 meters is not extremely short, he does not have any advantage in the NBA where there are so many people. If he encounters a defender who is stronger than himself during the game, he will have to work harder to contain the opponent.

Getting to know Bush in off-court life

Although he only debuted for four years, Paul has become One of the hottest superstars in the league today, even "President Bush" said: "CP3 is my buddy."

This "President Bush" is of course not the real former US President George Bush, but It's All-Star running back Reggie Bush who plays for the NFL's New Orleans Saints. Because of his surname (BUSH), Reggie Bush is also known as the "Mr. President" of the NFL, and this nickname is enough to reflect his status in the NFL.

In life, Paul and Reggie Bush are very good friends. They met at the ESPY Awards in 2006. Since they both play for professional teams in New Orleans, they are very close to each other. They spoke many different languages ??and gradually became good friends. Paul and his brother, C.J., now live in two apartments in New Orleans, where Bush is their neighbor and they even have the same chef.

Bush said that he is a fan of Paul and believes that Paul is the best point guard in the league today. In fact, Bush is one of the best running backs in the NFL today, with a strong body and excellent offensive skills, but Bush said: "If Chris Paul plays football, he will definitely be an excellent quarterback."

Bush also likes basketball, and the NFL ends in February every year. As a result, Bush has enough time to pay attention to the NBA, Paul and his New Orleans Hornets. In the 2007-08 season, when Paul led the Hornets to the playoffs, Bush gave him advice and even watched videos with the Paul brothers at home.

The close personal relationship gave Bush the idea of ??setting up a clothing company with Paul. In fact, in the NBA, many stars have developed side businesses, some of which are invested by themselves, and some of which are joint ventures. For example, Stephen Jackson and Al Harrington founded the "Protege" streetball brand together.

However, we just don’t have such an idea at the moment and haven’t put it into concrete action yet. He said: “We have already started planning. This is an idea that we all feel very good about.

Interesting thing, CP3 and I are both very popular in our respective fields." You know, Paul has always been envious of Jordan, not only for Jordan's skills, but also for the "Flying Man" business empire he built. Paul said: "No matter what aspect, Michael is my goal to learn and catch up."

"Obviously, I will consider the decision to join the Bobcats." Paul said, "Of course, my goal now is to lead the Hornets to win the championship trophy."

Paul did not hide his admiration for Jordan and his Like, he had been in contact with Jordan's own brand before. It was still in 2003. At that time, Paul had not yet entered the NBA, but he had already won Jordan's favor.

"We took a photo together." Paul recalled meeting Jordan at that time. "I was sitting next to Shannon Brown during the team photo, and the middle seat was empty, and we both knew Jordan was going to be sitting there. When Jordan came and sat there, he actually knew my name. "This is something I will never forget."

"I have a deep friendship with him now, and he is like a mentor and close friend of mine," Paul said, "Growing up in North Carolina. As a child, you may never understand this feeling."

When talking about whether Paul will join the Bobcats in the future, he gave a definite answer. "I think players will want to play alongside Jordan." Paul said, "Other than that, who else can you learn more from?"
