Jose Alvarado came out to play for the Knicks
Jose Alvarado was transferred from the Pelicans to the Knicks during the last trade deadline. A trade that sounds like a homecoming for the leader, a native of Brooklyn. “I have a feeling it’s written” admits the leader afterwards the Knicks’ success against Boston. “I feel like I’ve been a part of this team for a long time, even though it was just my first game. I felt at home.”
It is true that the leader did not need time to acclimatize. During this first match, he excelled in the fourth quarter to seal the victory for Mike Brown’s men.
To start the end of the match, he made a basket against Nikola Vucevic before firing an arrow at a distance. If his second attempt from behind the arc is unsuccessful, he surprises Jailen Brown stealing the ball from the back to give themselves two easy points on the counterattack. Pure Alvarado.
Take into the confidence of your teammates
“My teammates know that I like to defend and they trust me.” loves Jose Alvarado. “They let me be myself. They keep telling me to play, to be myself and everything will go as planned.” The comments confirmed by this exchange were caught on television before the meeting with Jalen Brunson.
We see them talking at midcourt during warmups, and the starter explains to him that he doesn’t need to adjust to him, and that the Knicks are just asking him to be who he is.
Finally, Nixie won 111-89 and are recovering from a tough loss to the Pistons last Friday. The success that came thanks to the contribution of Jose Alvarado, the author of 12 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals and a +/- of +13 in 25 minutes off the bench. In addition to the stat line, the pocket leader shined with his constant defensive pressure to disrupt opposing ball handlers.
“He is a very good defender and accepts the challenge of being a good second ball player,” compliments to Josh Hart. “He’s capable of creating play, getting into the paint, handling pressure. What you saw from Jose today is consistent with the player he is.”
