From trading to MVP overlord: Single mother creates the coldest-blooded killer in the NBA

When Shea Kyrgyz-Alexander completed the "2+1" in the Western Conference Finals, the entire Oklahoma City was boiling for him. This "Cai Chicken" who has never beaten her cousin in the backyard since she was a child, has now become the youngest MVP winner in the NBA. You may not have imagined that just five years ago, he was the most inconspicuous "gift" in the big deal between the Clippers and the Thunder - everyone was drooling at the bunch of draft picks, and no one looked at this Canadian guy who averaged less than 10 points per game.

The story of the cousins ​​is even more magical than the movie script. They slept in the same bed, were scolded and cried by the same coach (SGA's biological father is NAW's enlightenment coach), and they had to break up because of "Who is stronger, Kobe or James?", and turned their heads and played "NBA 2K" with their backs until dawn. In high school, the two moved from Toronto to Tennessee to pursue their dreams, huddled in the upper and lower bunks of the coach's house, and even wanted to play games. Now one has become an MVP and the other has become the one who knows how to prevent MVPs the most. Although NAW admitted with a wry smile after the game, "I know where he is going to break through, but I just can't stop him!"

How outrageous is the SGA counterattack script? He couldn't even get in the school team in his first year of high school. He was a substitute for Vanderbilt and PJ Washington in Kentucky during his college years, and did not become a starter until the first half of his junior year. When Thunder General Manager Presti exchanged him with Paul George in 2019, the whole league laughed: "Thunder is crazy about collecting draft picks, right? "Even Mr. Pu confessed himself: "We wanted the first round pick at that time, and Shay was a big shot. "As a big shot, five years later, this big shot," forced himself to become the league's scoring champion, and led the Thunder from 24 wins to 68 wins, shortening the reconstruction period by ten years.

How scary is the current SGA? Just look at the expressions of the two defensive players in the Timberwolves. Edwards was so angry that he smashed the ball and ate the T. McDaniels was so defensive that his mentality exploded and his direct offense was directly attacked. This cold-faced killer who is always face-paralleled, insisted on using a mid-range fight to tear the Timberwolves' joint defense into pieces. The most annoying thing is that he is always as calm as if he is in his backyard - he will lie on the ground and bask in the sun when he is fouled, and his opponent will get up and get a free throw when he is provoked. He can still hug the opponent with a smile in the critical battle. This kind of "AI robot" calmness is entirely thanks to his Olympic sprinter's mother.

Shamegan Kyrgyzs is not an ordinary tiger mom. This female soldier who participated in the Barcelona Olympics, moved with her son more than 20 times after divorce. She was so poor that she had to let her children go out with decent amounts. There are three parenting stories: her grades cannot be bad, her outfit cannot collapse, and she must be elegant even if the sky falls. SGA still remembers that when he was a child, even if there was only instant noodles left at home, his mother would iron his school uniform straight: "When you go out, you represent the entire family." This kind of decency engraved into DNA allows him to respond calmly when he was hacked by the entire network "free throw thief": "They are right, I should really practice three more points."

Today's Thunder are simply synonymous with the youth storm. The 23-year-old SGA, with younger Jaylen Williams and Homgren, defeated the defending champion Nuggets, and defended the Timberwolves to doubt their lives in the Western Conference Finals. What's even more terrifying is that they still hold 15 first-round picks in their hands, which is really like the NBA version of "There is a mine at home". When Edwards was still excited about "The future is yours", SGA had already quietly touched the finals with the team - only 6 games left to reach the top, and the dark guys could not stop him from touching the O'Brien Cup hand.

Some people say that SGA's success is a model for hard work, after all, his talent is considered a mid-range player in the NBA at most. But anyone who has watched his competition knows that what is really scary about this young man who plays middle distance into art is his experienced and experienced beyond his age. When the opponent is still studying his directional speed, he has already shook the person three meters away with a rhythm difference; when the defender stares at him with his right hand breakthrough, he can suddenly shoot with his left hand. Not to mention the unique skill of "striking the car" - someone else made a foul and rubbed his body hard, but he used three steps to lure the opponent into a foul, so angry that the defender stomped his feet: "How can you brag about this?"

However, if you want to say that the opponent is the "big heart" of SGA. In the last two minutes of G2 in the Western Conference Finals, when he hit McDaniels' long arm and hit the back jump shot, the air in the entire arena was frozen. This shot makes people vaguely see Kobe's figure - the same picturesque footsteps, the same key goal of killing people. No wonder some fans joked: "Now, I know why he has competed with his cousin for Kobe or James since he was a child?"

Looking at the SGA in suits and tied at the MVP awards ceremony, it is hard to imagine that he couldn't even enter the school team in high school. But perhaps it is this "grassroots counterattack" script that makes his story particularly touching. In this era full of "Son of God" and "Super Newcomer", an ordinary person who relies on polishing skills day after day and supporting his decent shirt with his mother's ironing has become the most inspiring existence. When he held up the FMVP trophy in the finals, those voices who once questioned "smashing points with free throws" will eventually turn into applause - because basketball will not lie, and victory will always be the best face-slapping tool.
