Thunder s new three giants vs the former three young men s lineup

As the Thunder won the battle of "Tianwang Mountain" with an absolute advantage at home, their odds and calls for winning the championship returned to the peak again. No matter how trouble the Pacers caused to the Thunder in the first four games, the Thunder was always better in terms of overall strength. If the team can win the championship this season, many people will remember the regret of the Thunder who also had three young masters and being dismantled immediately after losing the finals.

The Thunder now has built the Big Three with Alexander + Jewe + Homgren. Alexander won the MVP in the regular season, and Jewe's strong offensive and defensive performance in the playoffs also achieved an All-Star value. Homegren was previously troubled by injuries, but is gradually realizing his talent. As a space center, his movement and projection ability helps his teammates have greater room for breakthrough on the court.

The former three young men can beat the new three in terms of personal abilities. After all, Durant, Harden and Westbrook have all won the regular season MVP and have been selected as All-Stars many times, and have won countless historical records. Even though he is a veteran over 35 years old, Durant and Harden are still one of the absolute cores of the team, and their strength is unquestionable.

In terms of other starting and role players, the Thunder of the former three young men also had almost all possessions. Although Harten has brought the functions of the blue-collar inside line to the extreme, compared with Ibaka, both defensive deterrence and offensive methods are far apart. As a backcourt defensive player, Safrosa was once considered the most difficult defensive player by Kobe. At present, Wallace in the Thunder is remarkable in the defensive end, but it is still incomparable to Safrosa.

The Thunder then also had offensive point guard Jackson, inside defensive player Perkins and veteran Collison. The overall offensive and defensive strength and configuration almost all had the upper hand, but they were facing James at his peak and lost in the finals. In the offseason after the loss, the Thunder management actually gave up Harden, broke up the three young masters, and missed the dynasty era that should have belonged to them long ago. This summer, regardless of whether the Thunder wins the championship, the team's management will also face the issue of renewal of the contract between the Big Three and a group of young players. Let's wait and see whether history will repeat itself!
