"To me, he's unguardable," Edwards said. "As far as any one-on-one matchup, yeah
, you can go on and give it up. Just give him two points most of the time. So I
think you got to trap him. Maybe that don't work, but you got to try it. For sur
e you got to send a second body, especially if he got a favorable matchup. Anyti
me he got somebody that he knows can't guard him, ah, he going to score every ti
me."

Edwards acknowledged that three-time MVP Nikola Jokic, who is averaging 31.0 poi
nts, 12.9 rebounds and 9.5 assists for the 18-13 Denver Nuggets, is also buildin
g a quality case again. But Edwards is adamant that Gilgeous-Alexander should be
considered the MVP front-runner.
"I don't know if they could give it to [Jokic] again," said Edwards, who had 20
points in the loss. "Yeah, I would say Shai. Yeah, he's looking like the MVP, ma
n. He was incredible once again tonight.
"He's consistent every night. His team gonna give him the ball and just let him
rock out every night. It's nothing to think about. 'Hey, get Shai the ball and h
e going to get busy, and then we're going to figure it out after that.' I love w
atching that. It's incredible, man. If he is keeping him like that, I hope they
give [MVP] to him this year for sure. I feel like he should have won it last yea
r, but he's playing out his mind right now."
Gilgeous-Alexander was flattered to receive such praise from a competitor of Edw
ards' stature.
"No offense to you guys in the media, but the best satisfaction is when your pee
rs and the guys that do the same thing for a living at a very high level that yo
u do recognize and respect your craft and your talent," Gilgeous-Alexander said.
"That's a really good feeling. Obviously the caliber player he is, the sky's th
e limit. Hard-fought battle tonight."

今日NBA常规赛，雷霆以113-105战胜森林狼。安东尼-爱德华兹在赛后接受了ESPN记者Tim M
acMahon的采访。
在谈到俄克拉荷马城雷霆队的谢伊-吉尔杰斯-亚历山大时，他毫不犹豫地称赞道：
“NBA的MVP，”爱德华兹说道。
“在我看来，他是不可防守的，Edwards说道。“任何一对一的对位，基本上可以直接放弃
了，大部分时间你就当他拿到两分吧。所以我觉得必须夹击他。可能这也没用，但你得试试
。尤其是当他有一个有利的对位时，你必须派第二个人来防守他。他如果知道对面的人防不
住他，那他每次都会得分。”
Edwards承认，三届MVP得主Jokic 也有很强的竞争力。本赛季Jokic 场均31.0分、12.9个
篮板和9.5次助攻，带领掘金取得18胜13负的战绩。但Edwards坚持认为，SGA应该是目前MVP
的领跑者。
“我不知道他们是否会再把MVP给Jokic ，”爱德华兹说道，“但我会选Shai。他打得就像M
VP一样，他今晚再次表现得不可思议。
“他每晚都很稳定。他的球队会给他球权，让他每晚都去掌控比赛。这毫无疑问。‘嘿，把
球给Shai，他会搞定一切，然后我们再想办法。’我喜欢看他打球，真的太精彩了。如果他
能保持这种状态，我希望他们今年能把MVP给他。我觉得去年就该是他的，他现在真的打得
像个天神。”

AE居然服气了？目前现役是不是只有讲出服气Joki 跟SGA过？
