[Guide] George said that his goal is to compete with Anthony, Durant and LeBron and become the league’s number one small forward
.
Batum said that George reminded him of McGrady. No matter how hard he tried to defend, George always had a way to score, which was the same as Tracy McGrady in the past.
On December 4th, , the Indiana Pacers narrowly lost to the Portland Trail Blazers in the strongest battle between the East and the West, but Paul George played the strongest battle of his career and almost saved the defeat by himself.
Recording three-pointers vaguely reminds me of Tracy McGrady back then.
George scored a career-high 43 points in the game. It seems that this young junior is working hard towards the regular season MVP.
In the new season, George’s goal is to be the Defensive Player of the Year and the MVP of the regular season. Of course, there is still an unknown secret in his heart-to compete for the league’s first small forward.
And last night Batum witnessed George’s potential.
“I feel like my competitors are Anthony, Durant and LeBron,” George said in an interview after the game.
Guys are my competition, that’s what I catch up to.”
“To achieve my goal and reach the ideal shore, I have performed well on nights like this and in games like this. I think I have done it, but I lack a victory.” George continued.
In the game against the Trail Blazers, George faced Batum’s defense most of the time.
Height and great athleticism.
But at the end of the game, George forced Batum to get his fifth personal foul, causing the Blazers to switch to Matthews to defend.
After the game, Batum lamented that George reminded him of another superstar.
“I remember one guy, I tried my best to defend, but he still put 30 points on my head, and that was Tracy McGrady,” Batum said, “I felt like I did everything I wanted to do to defend,
McGrady can still score whatever he wants.”
“George did it too, he was great, I tried my best to interfere with him, stop him, make him suffer, he made some difficult shots, you have to give him credit, he is an MVP level
players,” Batum continued.
