On December 15th, the NBA's regular season begins, and on this day, a much-anticipated game will be played in the West. The Kings will play the Thunder, who are 6th and 2nd in the East, on their home court. The Thunder have won the last two games, while the Kings have just been beaten by the Clippers. Both teams will have the desire to win and it will be a tight game. Before commenting on the contestants' performances, let's take a brief look at the match.
In the opening stanza, Murray opened the scoring for the Kings, and Alexander's free throw also scored a point for the team. At the beginning of the first quarter, Alexander faced the entire team of the Kings alone, and he scored 14 points by himself to lead the team to one point. In the second quarter, Alexander's form declined, and Fox led them to slowly recover the score, and Fox scored 11 points alone, allowing them to score six points in the half. In this game, Holmgren made a big kill in the restricted area and gave the Thunder a signal to fight back. There was a time when they equalized the score under his command. However, after coming off the bench like Monk in the second half, the Kings once again took an eight-point advantage and beat the Thunder 128-123.
All five of Kenny's players scored 15 or more points at the same time. Fox played well against Alexander, scoring 41 points on 14-of-25 shooting, 5-of-11 three-pointers, three rebounds, seven assists and two blocks. Fox isn't afraid to go toe-to-toe with the opposition, but he's more afraid of going up against strong defenders. Fox reached the pinnacle of his career this season and he has improved a lot in both scoring and scoring. However, he still needs to balance attack and pass the ball better and is not yet a good defender. Sabonis was the team's core player, scoring 18 points, 16 rebounds and seven assists on 1-of-14 shooting. Under his leadership, Keegan Murray had 15 three rebounds, while Monk also had 18 and nine assists. In addition, rookie Keane Ellis was also a special player, who shot 6-of-8 from the field and 5-of-7 from three-point range to finish with 17 points, six rebounds and three assists.
Although Alexander had 43 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists, he still couldn't lead his team to victory. This season, Alexander's form is much better than last season, and he can score 31 points and 55 rebounds 64 assists, 2With 7 blocks, it is at the top of the block and cap, and it is also ranked 4th in terms of individual score and personal data. He showed great leadership qualities in this game and also showed great scoring skills. Despite this, Alexander was unable to save Liverpool in the game. Jalen Williams didn't have a good game, with just five points, four rebounds and three assists on 14-made shooting, and he hit just 0 of 14 shots. Giddey shot 3-of-14 from the field for 18 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists, and he also played well in the game, chipped in 6 rebounds and 2 steals alone. Dort also played well, scoring 17 points, four rebounds and two blocks on 3-of-8 free throws.
Holmgren finished with 14 points, 11 rebounds, one assist and three blocks on 6-of-12 shooting, 0-of-3, but his offense didn't show his responsibility as a leader. Comparatively, the distance between him and Wembanyama is getting farther and farther apart. Holmgren has great individual ability, he can dribble the ball and also take his teammates in the air to complete his own tasks. Although he was able to provide some help to his team-mates on occasion, he only made three shots in the first half and didn't help us much. This season, Holmgren averaged 17 points and 8 rebounds per game4 assists 09 blocks, 52 percent from the field, 37 percent from three-point range. However, his star character and leadership qualities are becoming more and more apparent.
Overall, while Holmgren has surpassed expectations and topped the list of rising stars this season, he is still nowhere near as good as Wembanyama in terms of star quality. What is the current Thunder facing? What do you think of Holmgren's game? Please leave a comment.
