The Lakers lost 110-133 to the Thunder on the road, and it's hard to believe that the Lakers will be played like this with James and Davis playing at the same time. All we can say is that the Thunder are too strong, and last season he raised Chet Holmgren for a season, and this season he finally cashed in on his talent. Even Chet's talent and destructive play are even more terrifying than Wembanyama's, his defense is extremely good, and Durant can even be seen on the offensive end.
On the defensive end there are Chet, Jay and Dort, and on the offensive end there are Alexander and Giddey. The Thunder's starter was perfect, and the Lakers' loss was weird. In the first quarter, the Lakers also played a 23-9 surge to lead by 11 points, leading by as many as 14 points. But in the second quarter, the Thunder suffocated the defense, and Jiewei was even more invincible, and the Thunder instantly overtook by 2 points. After that, Chet integrated offense and defense, he first successfully protected the frame, and then stole James to counterattack and dunk, and the Thunder's morale reached its peak and led by 12 points at halftime.
In the third quarter, the Thunder played a familiar wave, and the twin stars of Chet and Alexander shone brightly. The two scored 12 points in a row, and the Lakers instantly trailed by 19 points. Davis had no problem with 31 points and 14 rebounds on 11-of-18 shooting, while James had 21 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists, while committing a whopping 5 turnovers, which already shows how good the Thunder's defense is. The current Thunder is very strong, Alexander has 33 points and 7 assists on 11-of-18 shooting, Holmgren has 18 points, 5 rebounds and 2 steals, Giddey has 14 points and 8 rebounds, Jalen Williams has 21 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists, and Dort has 12 points, 7 rebounds and 2 steals.
This year's Thunder have little problem getting into the playoffs, they have a third-place record in the West, and the 25-year-old Alexander is finally going to make the playoffs again with enough help by his side. The last time Alexander made the playoffs was when Paul joined, and they lost seven games in the first round of the playoffs against the Rockets. And Alexander's progress in recent years also proves how good the Thunder's vision is.
Last season, Alexander averaged a terrifying 31+5+4 per game, and this season his shooting percentage has improved while his statistics continue to remain at 30+6+6. He shot a terrifying 54 percent from the field and 35 percent from three-point range. During the Thunder's previous winning streak, Alexander only needed to score 40 points, and the Thunder had a 100% win rate. They were 45 points, 40 points, and 40 points, and now Alexander's performance has made the Clippers regret their bowels. They were forced to stud the George that the little card wanted in the '19 offseason in order to sign with Leonard. Not only did the Clippers send all of the team's first-round picks and swap rights, but they also sent Alexander to the Thunder.
Alexander has been for sale with the Clippers, but in order to sign the Kappy Studs. As a result, the Clippers collapsed, and Pepper broke through the Western Conference Finals once since he joined, and the two also stopped and stopped, Leonard played one game in the first round last season, and George was also exempted. This year, the Clippers ushered in a contract year, and the team had to use the only remaining first-round pick to go to Sauhaden, but now the Clippers can't even make it to the top eight in the West. The Clippers gave the Thunder Alexander, just like the Thunder gave the Rockets Harden back then, history is in reincarnation.
Why is Clippers owner Ballmer so impatient to take Harden?The reason is still the sequelae of Stud George. If the Clippers hadn't hollowed everything out for George, they could keep Alexander and a first-round pick. The Clippers don't just have it now, they have a future. All we can say is that Leonard shouldn't go to George, but go straight to the Clippers. At least the combination of Alexander and Leonard will not lose to the combination of Durant and Irving of the Nets at that time, and then the team will use these first-round picks to trade a good interior use, and the Clippers can take off in an instant. As a result, the Clippers are now bankrupt, and there is no doubt that the card is responsible.
