圣安东尼奥讯——圣安东尼奥马刺队后卫克里斯·保罗(Chris Paul)成为NBA历史上第三位职业生涯助攻数达到12000次的球员。
周五，马刺队以120比115负于洛杉矶湖人队。比赛进行到3分34秒时，保罗完成了他的第三次助攻，从而加入了此前只有约翰·斯托克顿(John Stockton)（15806次）和贾森·基德(Jason Kidd)（12091次）才能达到的行列。
“我记得我第一次在犹他打球的时候，我抬头看到约翰·斯托克顿是历史助攻王和抢断王，当时我想，‘我要超越他，’”保罗说道。“那真是个谎言。但能排在约翰·斯托克顿之后，感觉真的很棒。”
在周五的比赛中，保罗在前2分14秒内送出了两次助攻，一次是助攻朱利安·尚帕尼(Julian Champagnie)上篮得分，另一次是助攻文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)在侧翼命中一记29英尺远的三分球，帮助圣安东尼奥队取得了11比0的领先优势。
在首节比赛还剩8分26秒时，保罗以一种令人印象深刻的方式载入了NBA史册：他将球高高抛起，助攻空切的文班亚马完成了一记双手空接暴扣，马刺队在NBA杯揭幕战中以13比4领先。
保罗最终得到11分、11次助攻和2次抢断，但圣安东尼奥队自上赛季以来在NBA杯的比赛中仍然未尝胜绩（0胜5负）。
“哇，这真是一个巨大的数字，”文班亚马谈到保罗的12000次助攻里程碑时说道。“很难想象你需要在多少年里场均多少助攻才能达到这个目标。最终，每个球员都希望有一天能看到自己的名字出现在那里。这真是不可思议。”
马刺队在7月份签下保罗与20岁的现象级球员文班一起出战后，就期待他能立即对这支年轻且缺乏经验的球队产生影响。保罗在这方面并没有让人失望，本赛季他已经送出了六场助攻上双的表现。
“在任何这类你所加入的环境中，我首先要说的是，你必须向大家展示你能打球，”保罗在谈到加入一支年轻球队时说道。“我不会试图去做任何人的教练。他们想看到你现在能做什么，对吧？这就是我为什么一直以我的方式训练和努力，因为你可以告诉他们所有你想告诉他们的事情。但他们想亲眼看到。”
“我记得我第一次在犹他打球的时候，我抬头看到约翰·斯托克顿是历史助攻王和抢断王，当时我想，‘我要超越他。’那真是个谎言。但能排在约翰·斯托克顿之后，感觉真的很棒。”
克里斯·保罗
本赛季保罗已经取得了5次助攻上双的两双数据；他的职业生涯两双总数达到了518次，在联盟历史上仅次于斯托克顿。
尽管保罗的到来减缓了圣安东尼奥队的节奏，但在这位经验丰富的控球后卫的掌控下，马刺队仍然保持了助攻率的有效性。截至周五，圣安东尼奥队的节奏排名联盟第22位，而上赛季结束时他们排名联盟第3位。截至周五，马刺队的助攻率排名联盟第2位（68.7%）。
随着第一节比赛结束的最后一秒钟的到来，弗罗斯特银行中心的记分牌上显示了一张保罗交叉双臂庆祝他最新里程碑的图片。
“这是一个疯狂的成就，”马刺队新秀后卫斯蒂芬·卡斯尔(Stephon Castle)说道。“我为CP感到无比高兴，我期待着他在这个赛季能有更多精彩的表现。”

Spurs’ Chris Paul third NBA player to reach 12,000 assists
SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio Spurs guard Chris Paul became the third player in NBA history to reach 12,000 assists in his career.
With his third assist just 3:34 into the Spurs’ 120-115 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday, Paul joined a list previously occupied by only John Stockton (15,806) and Jason Kidd (12,091).
“I remember the first time I played in Utah, and I looked up and saw John Stockton was the all-time assists and steals leader, and I was like, ‘I’m gonna catch that,’” Paul said. “That was a lie. But to be second behind John Stockton is really cool.”
Paul dished his first two assists within the first 2:14 of Friday’s game, finding Julian Champagnie for a driving layup and Victor Wembanyama for a 29-footer from the wing as San Antonio built an 11-0 advantage.
Paul stepped into the NBA record book in emphatic fashion with 8:26 left in the opening quarter by tossing a lob to a cutting Wembanyama for a two-handed jam on an alley-oop as the Spurs surged ahead 13-4 in their NBA Cup opener.
Paul finished with 11 points, 11 assists and 2 steals, but San Antonio remained winless (0-5) since last season in NBA Cup games.
“Wow, that’s such a big number,” Wembanyama said of Paul’s 12,000-assist milestone. “It’s hard to imagine how much you need to average for how many years [to get there]. Eventually, every player, we want to see our names up there one day. It’s just incredible.”
The Spurs expected Paul to have an immediate impact on a young, inexperienced team after signing him in July to play alongside 20-year-old phenom Wembanyama. Paul hasn’t disappointed on that front, having pieced together six 10-assist games this season.
“The first thing I say in any of these situations you go into, you’ve got to show guys that you can hoop,” Paul said of joining a young team. “I don’t go in there trying to be anybody’s coach. They want to see what you do now, right? That’s why I’ve trained and worked the way I work because you can tell them all you want to tell them. But they want to see it.”
“I remember the first time I played in Utah, and I looked up and saw John Stockton was the all-time assists and steals leader, and I was like, ‘I’m gonna catch that.’ That was a lie. But to be second behind John Stockton is really cool.”
Chris Paul
Paul has five 10-assist double-doubles this season; he has 518 for his career, second in league annals behind Stockton.
Although the arrival of Paul has slowed down San Antonio’s pace, the Spurs have managed to maintain effectiveness in assist percentage with the veteran point guard at the controls. San Antonio ranked 22nd in pace entering Friday after finishing last season No. 3 in the NBA. The Spurs ranked No. 2 in assist percentage (68.7%) going into Friday.
As the final seconds ticked off the clock to end the first quarter, the Frost Bank Center scoreboard displayed a graphic featuring Paul standing with his arms crossed in celebration of his latest milestone.
“That’s a crazy achievement,” Spurs rookie guard Stephon Castle said. “I’m more than happy for CP, and I’m looking forward to him doing more this season for sure.”
