The Clippers paid a huge price for signing George, but it ended up putting the team in trouble. This season, the Lakers have had an incredible performance in a crushing defeat to the Thunder on the road, led by James and Davis. At the same time, the Thunder's strong lineup has also become a highlight. Last year, they managed to produce Chet Holmgren, and this season he has finally shown his talent. His all-round performance even surpassed Vince Carter and became a core strength of the team.
In the lineup, the Thunder not only have Chet, Jay and Dort, who are excellent defensively, but also Alexander and Giddey on the offensive end. Their overall strength is very strong, which also makes the Lakers' loss seem a little incredible. In the game, the Lakers took the lead at one point, but in the second quarter, the Thunder showed strong defensive strength and turned the situation around.
Chet Holmgren was outstanding in both attack and defence, while Alexander also showed his dominance to help his team to victory. In this game, the Lakers' James and Davis contributed 21 and 31 points respectively, but the Thunder's defense still made it difficult for them to play at their normal level. The 25-year-old Alexander, with the support of the team, showed excellent individual ability and won the team victory.
It also gives people a glimpse of the potential of the Thunder in the future. It is worth mentioning that Alexander's performance also reminded people of the scene when he was sent to the Thunder by the Clippers. In order to sign George, the Clippers did not hesitate to give up Alexander and a first-round pick. This decision seems a bit hasty today. Alexander's progress is a testament to the Thunder's vision, while the Clippers have reeled after losing him.
If the Clippers hadn't made a rash trade in the first place, they might have fared better now. Therefore, it also raises questions and reflections about Clippers owner Ballmer's decision-making. In such a situation, we have to wonder what the current situation of the team would have been if the Clippers hadn't stud everything for GeorgeIn contrast, should they focus more on future development rather than blindly pursuing immediate profits?
Perhaps, the combination of Alexander and Leonard will make a difference for the team. For team management, should they be more careful about balancing immediate benefits with long-term development?As fans and spectators, what do we think and expect?Let's ** this question together and cheer for our beloved team!
