Average of 35+5+5 in the finals? Yali is expected to become the fifth player, comparable to Jordan James Durant s alphabet

In the first two games of this year's finals, Alexander performed very well, scoring 38 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals, and 34 points, 5 rebounds, 8 assists and 4 steals respectively. He currently averages 36 points, 5 rebounds, 5.5 assists, and 3.5 steals per game, and the shooting percentages of the three events reached 49%, 40%, and 90%, respectively, which is very close to the 180 Club.

Alexander has also been in a very hot state in the last four games, scoring at least 34 points in each game, and averaging 36.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 7.3 assists and 2.5 steals per game. So far this season's playoffs, Alexander has scored 30+ 13 times, becoming the ninth player in history to do this in a single season. In addition, Alexander has scored 30+ in nine consecutive games at home, tying the historical record.

In the Western Conference Finals, Alexander performed very well, averaging 31.4 points, 5.2 rebounds and 8.2 assists per game, and was successfully elected as the Western Conference Finals MVP. In the finals, Alexander is still the first candidate for FMVP. As long as he can lead the Thunder to win the championship, the FMVP is basically Alexander.

It is worth mentioning that including Alexander, only 10 players in the history of the Finals have averaged more than 35 points per game, including Jordan and O'Neal. In addition, the only players who average 35+5+5 per game in a single final are Jordan (1993), James (2015), Durant (2017), and Antetokounmpo (2021).

Jordan showed off his power in the 1993 Finals, averaging 41 points per game, setting a record of highest average score in the finals, and also averaged 8.5 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game, successfully leading the Bulls to complete their first three consecutive championships. In the finals the year before, Jordan also averaged 35.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game, which was very close to the average 35+5+5 average.

James averaged 35.8 points, 13.3 rebounds, 8.8 assists per game in the 2015 Finals. Unfortunately, Love and Irving were both injured. James was unable to support himself and failed to lead the Cavaliers to win the championship.

After joining the Warriors, Durant scored a comprehensive data averaged 35.2 points, 8.2 rebounds, 5.4 assists in the 2017 Finals, leading the Warriors to easily defeat the Cavaliers 4-1 to win the championship. He also successfully won his first career championship and FMVP. Antetokounmpo also led the Bucks to win four consecutive games behind 0-2, averaging 35.2 points, 13.2 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game.

Alexander also averaged 35+5+5 in the finals this season, and is expected to lead the Thunder to win the championship and win the FMVP. But the finals are not over yet, and it is hard to say whether Alexander can keep his average score above 35 points.
