Second Young Master Dewey is sorry, Alexander is going to compete for the throne of the Thunder team s first player in history

The fifth game of the NBA Western Conference Finals started, and the Thunder returned to home court, and the momentum was full. As soon as they came up, their defense was like an airtight wall, suppressing the Timberwolves tightly. At the end of the first half, the Thunder led by a big score of 65-32, and the difference was astonishing as it looked.

In the second half, the Timberwolves struggled to catch up, but the gap was too big. With 6 and a half minutes left in the final quarter, the Timberwolves replaced the pure substitute lineup, which obviously gave up resistance and announced their surrender. After all, they were already 34 points behind at that time, and the result of the game was no surprise.

Western Conference Final G5 ended, and the Thunder ended the series 124-94, defeating the Timberwolves as much as 30 points. Since 2012, the Thunder have reached the Finals again. The historical data is there. The team that leads 3-1 in the NBA playoffs has a probability of promotion as high as 95.4%, so it is surprising that the Thunder can get to this point.

In the first quarter, Alexander was able to break through and score on his own, and he was able to pass the ball cleverly, sorting out the team's offense in an orderly and aggressive manner, leading the Thunder to open the gap in the score early. He played the full first quarter, made 5 7 shots, including 1 of 1 three-pointer, 1 of 1 free throw, 12 points, and 3 rebounds, 5 assists, with a plus-negative value of up to +17. Let’s look at the Timberwolves again. The team only scored 9 points in the first quarter, which is too strong.

After the whole game, Alexander played for 33 minutes and 36 seconds, made 14 of 25 shots, scored 34 points, plus 7 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 steals, plus and minus + 23, which was another highlight. Since he reached the finals at home, the Thunder fans on the scene shouted "MVP", which is Alexander's strength.

In my opinion, Alexander now has the opportunity to hit the Thunder's first player throne in history, for many reasons. From the inside of the team, the current Thunder team is building a tactical system around Alexander, and he is the absolute core of the team. This season's regular season, the Thunder's record is outstanding and ranked first in the league with an excellent record of 68 wins and 14 losses, which is closely related to Alexander's outstanding performance. He averaged 32.7 points per game, and also recorded 5 rebounds, 6.4 assists and 1.7 steals. He shot 51.9% from the field, 37.5% from three-point shooting percentage and 89.8% from free throws. The data is terrifying. He is proficient in scoring, passing and defense, and leads the team through the hurdles and reaching the finals. The era of Alexander has arrived.

Alexander's ability to lead the team is gradually becoming more prominent. Although the Thunder had Dewey's second young master in the past, sometimes problems occurred in the team's decision-making and attack at critical moments. Now that Alexander is on the court, when the game is at a stalemate, he is the one who can stand up and solve the problem. Take this Western Conference Final for example. Faced with the Timberwolves' counterattack, he stabilized the situation with stable performance and allowed the team to always maintain the lead. Although Dewey's second young master has left glory in the Thunder, he failed to lead the team to the championship. And now Alexander has great hope of doing this this season. If he really wins the championship, his position in the history of the Thunder will definitely be greatly improved, and he will be the first in the history of the team. After all, the championship is too heavy and is an important criterion for measuring the achievements of a team and players. Neither Durant nor Westbrook have ever done it.

In addition, the current league style has also changed from the Dewey's second young master. Now it emphasizes more offensive space and the comprehensiveness of players. Alexander's playing style is perfectly in line with the current trend. It can break through, shoot, and organize, and can drive the offensive rhythm of the whole team on the court. In contrast, Dewey's second young master's style of playing is relatively more inclined to personal attacks. So, with his own strength, team performance and league style, Alexander is step by stepping forward to the throne of the No. 1 player in the Thunder team's history. Dewey's second young master may not be able to maintain his position in this team.

If you can defeat the Eastern Conference champion in the finals, Alexander will likely win the FMVP. At that time, he will combine the regular season MVP, scoring champion, first team, championship, and FMVP, and will have enough confidence to compete for a league appearance.
