Chris Paul walked away calmly.
Three years later, this League would recite a certain slogan:
"Eat, sleep, and beat up Paul."
It referred to Chris Paul's greatest bane, Deron Williams, who was in the same draft year as him.
The reason "Little Fatty" had such control over Chris Paul was his sufficient weight and strength.
Ron Artest had one more lethal weapon than Deron Williams:
Fast cross movement steps.
That meant Chris Paul had no advantage when facing him; his usually skillful low center of gravity breakthroughs often ended tonight with him crashing into Artest and stumbling back beyond the three-point line to try breaking through again.
Chris Paul's expression grew uglier with each repetition.
Regarding defense, Su Wan continuously attacked him, giving Chris a taste of the helplessness of defending Deron Williams.
Having been blasted on both offense and defense, by the third quarter, only four words remained on Chris Paul's face:
"Doubting his life!"
