4-3 Reversal! 4-1 Gentleman sweeps! The championship is not very suspense, the new dynasty is about to begin
4:02pm, 29 May 2025【Basketball】
With the final whistle of the G5 game, the Western Conference Finals series officially ended, and G5's key battle against the Timberwolves lost to the Thunder 94:124; the series was eliminated 1:4, and the Thunder returned to the finals after 13 years; the last time he led the team to advance to the finals was the third young master of the Thunder at that time. Now they lead the team to advance to the finals with the new version of the Third Young Master, but the Thunder at this time is completely different from that at that time. In the words of the US media, the Thunder officially started the dynasty rule period. The team has the youngest average age in the league and will hold dozens of draft picks in the future. 4-3 Reversal! 4-1 Gentleman swept! The championship is not very suspense, and a new dynasty is about to begin.
This season, the Thunder also achieved the league's first regular season record, with 68 wins and 14 losses, showing their outstanding offensive and defensive performance. Alexander won the MVP with his outstanding performance. Although the whistle in the playoffs caused controversy, he also proved in his playoff performance that he did not rely solely on free throws to score. Data shows that the Thunder averaged 12.55 points per game this season, 12.9 points in the regular season, and the second highest score in the history of 10.8 points in the playoffs! Alexander won the MVP trophy of the Western Conference Finals with his perfect data of 31.4 points, 5.2 rebounds and 8.2 assists per game in the Western Conference Finals!
So far this season, Alexander has won the scoring champion + regular season MVP + regular season best team + All-Stars + NBA Cup best team + Western Conference Finals MVP, ushering in the Grand Slam, only missing the championship and finals MVP. Looking back at the playoffs, it has brought huge pressure to the Thunder, but there are only 7 players who rotate. The Nuggets once had an advantage of 2-1 in the series, but it was precisely because of the team's defense and restrictions on the players around Jokic that the Thunder went from behind to tie the score, defeated their opponents in the tiebreak, and successfully advanced.
Timberwolves, who eliminated the Lakers and Warriors in the Western Conference Finals, actually had a clear advantage, because the team's younger and faster offensive and defensive transitions and higher intensity defense forced the Timberwolves to make continuous mistakes, and they seized the opportunity to fight back. Alexander, Homegren and Jaylen Williams are heading together to lead outstanding role players to help the team win the game.
Alexander averaged 29.5 points + 6.9 assists + 5.6 rebounds + 1.5 steals per game in the playoffs, shooting percentage of 46.4% and three-point shooting percentage of 28.9%. In addition to the 3-pointer that seemed a little bad, Alexander did a pretty good job in other aspects, not only having personal scores, but also having an excellent passing vision that could give exquisite assists, allowing his teammates to finish the finish. The key is that Alexander never gets up at critical moments, and he can always help the team make a final decision at key goals at critical moments.
Jaylen Williams and Chetholmgren are equally important. Jaylen Williams may not be well-known in the second-in-command league, but he still has obvious progress this season. His excellent defense allows him to always limit his opponent's offense well, and his counterattack after steals are also excellent. His average of 20+ points per game also provides the team with firepower support. Also, although Chet seems to be thin, he has enough height and wingspan advantages and not a weak confrontational intensity. He averaged 1.9 blocks and 0.9 steals per game. The defensive efficiency ranks fifth in the league. After winning the Western Conference championship, there are still 7 days left before the finals start, and they have enough rest and adjustment time. Looking back at the entire playoffs, the Thunder have been relatively easy to play against the Nuggets. And they also have peak or younger role players.
They are likely to play against the Pacers in the finals. From the current point of view, the key is not very suspense, and the Thunder will have a very high probability of winning in the end. And this young team will still be able to maintain its competitiveness for many seasons in the future. It’s the same sentence from the US media that Thunder is about to begin their dynasty rule.
