"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常規賽，雷霆以113-105戰勝森林狼。安東尼-愛德華茲在賽後接受了ESPN記者Tim M
acMahon的採訪。
在談到俄克拉荷馬城雷霆隊的謝伊-吉爾傑斯-亞歷山大時，他毫不猶豫地稱贊道：
“NBA的MVP，”愛德華茲說道。
“在我看來，他是不可防守的，Edwards說道。“任何一對一的對位，基本上可以直接放棄
了，大部分時間你就當他拿到兩分吧。所以我覺得必須夾擊他。可能這也沒用，但你得試試
。尤其是當他有一個有利的對位時，你必須派第二個人來防守他。他如果知道對面的人防不
住他，那他每次都會得分。”
Edwards承認，三屆MVP得主Jokic 也有很強的競爭力。本賽季Jokic 場均31.0分、12.9個
籃板和9.5次助攻，帶領掘金取得18勝13負的戰績。但Edwards堅持認為，SGA應該是目前MVP
的領跑者。
“我不知道他們是否會再把MVP給Jokic ，”愛德華茲說道，“但我會選Shai。他打得就像M
VP一樣，他今晚再次表現得不可思議。
“他每晚都很穩定。他的球隊會給他球權，讓他每晚都去掌控比賽。這毫無疑問。‘嘿，把
球給Shai，他會搞定一切，然後我們再想辦法。’我喜歡看他打球，真的太精彩了。如果他
能保持這種狀態，我希望他們今年能把MVP給他。我覺得去年就該是他的，他現在真的打得
像個天神。”

AE居然服氣了？目前現役是不是只有講出服氣Joki 跟SGA過？
