The game reached the last 6.1 seconds, and Bill used the most classic mid-range jump shot to let the Wizards take a two-point lead. At this time, Thunder was suspended and served in the halftime. All the fans had already held their breath. After a simple cover, the Thunder core guard Alexander successfully received the ball. He used only a simple dribbling behind the and change direction. Alexander decisively took the step back and chose a three-pointer that he was not good at. The ball entered the net and scored a final victory in the Thunder. Alexander scored 42 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists in the whole game, and his style and data on the court completely crushed the famous guard, who scored 25 points.
Before the start of the regular season, the Thunder injured the team's future hope. This year's second-tier show, Homgren, is a long-range insider. The Thunder, whose dream is shattered, seems to have another year of reconstruction waiting period, allowing young people to experience and then play next year's Wenban Yama. The Thunder management and fans may have to dream of playing the top scorer, but time has passed forever, and the 24-year-old Alexander has entered the fifth season of the league.
Think of the time, he was the main bargaining chip for the Clippers trading George , and he was also the hope star of the Thunder's revival. However, his mediocre leadership ability and unstable shooting star have not led the Thunder out of the quagmire, and the team has been in the ranks of bad teams for many years. Although he averaged 24.5 points and 6 assists per game last season and also scored three-pointers, his efficiency was extremely dismal. With unlimited firepower, his three-point shooting percentage was less than 30%.
When I was about to go through another bad season, Alexander suddenly woke up. Not only could he average 32.3 points and 6 assists per game, but his shooting percentage and three-point shooting percentage were as high as 54.6% and 40%, all ranked among the top 20 in the league. Alexander's breakthrough may not be as gorgeous as Morant, but taking advantage of his natural long arms and legs, his high-magnitude change and basket picking are almost impossible to stop. At the same time, Alexander can contribute 1.9 steals and a rare 1.4 blocks on the defensive end, which is unique among defenders and can be said to be a combination of offense and defense.
Under Yali's leadership, although the Thunder's inside line is still vulnerable, they effectively drive the defense of the whole team with the outside defense line composed of Alexander and Dolter. Alexander's breakthrough on the offensive end and Josh Kiddy's organizational talent, other players almost only need to run and get an empty cut or pick-and-roll to bounce outside to prepare for shooting. The Thunder's tactical system has become simple. When it really can't be solved, Alexander can still rely on misalignment to play, which is why the Thunder this season doesn't look that bad.
Now in the cruel Western Conference competition, the Thunder's record has 7 wins and 8 losses, and 15 games have reached a winning rate of nearly 50%, which is unimaginable in the past few seasons, and all this is attributed to the new Thor who ascended the throne - Alexander. I also hope that this young man will maintain such strong momentum and bring himself into the ranks of all-stars.
