Today is the Super Bowl, so the NBA only scheduled 2 early games, and they are all over.
Did Aiqing stay up late to watch the game?
Probably not!?
For the New Year, it should be so active and industrious in this palace!
The Celtics narrowly beat the Heat without Butler 110-106.
The Thunder won the Kings 127-113, ending a two-game losing streak.
Anyway, the Thunder haven't won against the Kings in 3 years, right?! The last time we won against the Kings was back in 2021!
Yesterday, the Clippers have quietly risen to No. 2 in the West, and the Thunder are now No. 3 in the West, and if they lose, they will be No. 4 in the West.
Therefore, it makes sense that the Thunder ranked first in the West for a long time, but they have not been in the top three in the power rankings.
Otherwise, the Thunder would not have struggled to operate a wave at the trade deadline.
The Thunder traded for Hayward at the trade deadline to add some experience to the young players. However, Hayward hasn't played much in the playoffs in his career (played 4 seasons), so it's hard to say whether this experience sharing value is enough.
Hayward didn't play today and didn't make his Thunder debut yet.
The Thunder coach revealed that Hayward should not officially make his appearance for the Thunder until after the All-Star Games.
Hongu is looking forward to it!
Hayward under this blue shirt is still very handsome.
However, Hayward was part of the Thunder's intra-team training today.
One thing we still have to be sure of is that the core strength of the Thunder theme is there, and they are indeed close to the championship.
After all, he already has a MVP-level star.
After the game, Kings coach Mike Brown praised Alexander, saying, "He played at the MVP level level, we did everything we could to defend him, but he still scored 38 points. ”
Alexander made 15 of 26 shots, 3 of 4 3-pointers, and scored 38 points, 3 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks.
And, as bread says, the king's defense did its best.
Come and feel it!
That's it, what else can you do but tearfully watch him cut 2 points?
I can't prevent it. 
This crossover, it feels like Ellis is about to be shaken to the next street.
Alexander himself thought it was incredible and smiled.
The Thunder fans are going crazy!
Their love for Alexander now feels as good as that of Wei Shao back then.
You look at his slightly arrogant appearance, that's really hated by opponents, loved by fans. This new Thunder fan said that it was very good.
In addition to Alexander, there is also a Jalen Williams today.
Well, it's Jalen Williams, the 12th pick in the first round in 2022, who was selected by the Thunder themselves.
Today, Jalen Williams shot 13-of-20 from the field and 2-of-4 from three-point range to finish with 32 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists.
Suddenly, I kind of understand why the Thunder gave away a first-round pick for nothing at the trade deadline (in the 3-way trade at Gafford that Thunder sent the first-round pick next year in exchange for the first-round swap right of the Mavericks in 2028, which is basically equivalent to giving it away for nothing), it is really a little too new to train the rookies in the team now.
Dort, who is in the fourth grade, shot 5-of-9 from the field and 3-of-5 from three-point range today, finishing with 17 points, 9 rebounds and 3 steals.
Holmgren shot 5-of-9 and finished with 14 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 4 blocks.
Well, there are only two people in the Thunder who are over 30 years old, one is Biyombo and the other is Hayward.
Biyombo picked up the leak in the buyout market, and Hayward was traded from the Hornets on trade deadline day.
So, you feel how young this team is, how much they don't want to develop new talents.
