Murphy praised Shy Gilzer-Alexander.
Trey Murphy III of the New Orleans Pelicans appeared on a podcast hosted by Paul George on the 7th (Korea Standard Time) and talked about Oklahoma City guard Shai Gilzer-Alexander.
Oklahoma City displayed great potential last season and became the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference. Oklahoma City has come back to the top-ranked team in the league after completely ending its rebuilding era.
The central player is Gilzer-Alexander. He scored 30.1 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 6.2 assists on average, and is back on track as he was selected to the All-NBA team for the second consecutive year. He is Gilzer-Alexander, who is considered the best guard ace in the league along with Luka Doncic. 메이저사이트
He dribbles by using his unique step and instantly increases the speed to score points. As his shooting ability is not bad, Gilles and Alexander have various routes to attack.
It is not easy for a defender to control his unique rhythm. The opposing player who faced off against him talked about this. He was Trey Murphy III, who faced off in the playoffs last season. Notably, in the second game against New Orleans, Gilles Alexander had a 68.4 percent field-fighting rate and scored 33 points en masse.
Murphy said, "I think Shy Gilzer-Alexander was probably the one who struggled the most in defense. A lot of players have their own rhythm and timing. But I'm not sure what Gilzer-Alexander's timing is. Literally, I don't know. He just moves so differently from everybody else and he's unique. So I think he probably made it to that position."
He continued, "In Game 2, maybe Gilders-Alexander didn't miss a single field pitch against me and put all five of them in. What was amazing was that I felt like I was stepping back and moving forward at the same time. It shows in the video. So I was like, 'Did you see him do it? Do you really think you can stop it?' It was a crazy play. Trust me. If you look back on the video, he showed steps forward even as he stepped back."
As Gilzer-Alexander grew to become the best player in the league, Oklahoma City's trade that gave up Paul George to the Clippers became a huge success. At that time, Oklahoma City had received five first-round picks, two swap rights and Danilo Gallinali along with Gilzer-Alexander.
