Wow! This title is like a shining guiding light that lights up the night sky in the world of sports! That's right, we're going to talk about basketball today! Yes, it's the sport that gets your emotions up and down! This time, our focus is not just on the results, but also on the struggles and achievements of the players.
Think about it, the Green Army, the Clippers, the Nuggets, the Suns, these top teams, have been a little unstoppable recently! Like the Green Army winning two games in a row, the Cavaliers have won eight consecutive victories! Not to be outdone, the Nuggets and Suns both won three in a row. Well, the record of the top four teams in the West is very different, with only 1 win at the maximum, which is simply a powder keg of competition on the verge of breaking out! Together, they make up the first echelon of the season.
Ah, don't forget that there are also the Thunder and Timberwolves, two young dark horse lineups that should not be underestimated! And the Nuggets and Clippers are even stronger with their superstar combinations. You see, the Thunder are the youngest, and their core players Alexander, Holmgren, Jalen Williams, etc. are all new stars, but they have already shown amazing strength on the court! It's not a brag about the 8 data, it's simply the first in the league! This makes one have to sigh how powerful the power of trading is! Thank you, deal, let us see your shine, let our team finally rush to the forefront, the dark horse is about to compete for the championship!
Let's take a look at Alexander, the number one star of the Thunder, who is a rookie in the same class as Doncic, but their performance is not a notch! Alexander was named to the First Team of the Year last season, and the award was not for nothing. This season, Alexander is averaging 31 per game1 point, 56 rebounds, 66 assists, 22 steals, first in the league! He shot a whopping 54 from the field7%, 36% three-point shooting, and an astonishing 89% free throw shooting! Wow, this all-around player is like a versatile player in basketball, proficient in offense, defense, everything!
However, don't think that Alexander will only score wild points, he is also a great playmaker. For example, in the game against the Cavaliers, he not only scored 42 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, but also showed amazing team spirit and created more scoring opportunities for his teammates. Like a big director on stage, he won applause and cheers from the team with his performance.
However, Alexander did not start out in a glamorous way. In 2018, he was just a bench player for the Clippers, averaging just 10 points per game8 points is like a small fish in the basketball world. But with the trade, he came to the Thunder and had more opportunities to showcase. Later, Paul left the Thunder, and Alexander became the number one core of the team, rising all the way to finally get ahead!
Doesn't it feel a bit like a basketball version of Cinderella? The Thunder had a poor record in the past, once at the bottom of the West, but now, they have firmly settled in the top three and become the strongest dark horse! Moreover, they did not rely on other big-name stars, and they all relied on themselves to cultivate such a strong team. Midway through the season, they traded All-Star veteran Hayward to show their ambitions for the Finals and championships.
Therefore, the strength of the Thunder team is not ordinarily strong! Offensive efficiency, defensive efficiency, and shooting percentage are all among the top in the league! They are like a well-equipped battleship, capable of anything and fearless!
