8:44pm, 29 May 2025【Basketball】

On May 29, the Timberwolves came to Oklahoma to challenge the Thunder with a score of 1:3. Everyone knows what this game means for the Timberwolves. Conley pointed out bluntly at the breakfast meeting: Our core players must show the performance of the core players! However, this scene was not presented as expected on the court. The Thunder, who vowed to end the series and meet with the Pacers in the finals, did not give the Timberwolves any chance. The Timberwolves only scored 9 points in the first quarter. At the end of the half, the Thunder had already led by 33 points, making the game that should have been intense, related to winning or going home so boring!

In the end, the Thunder easily defeated the Timberwolves 4:1 and entered the finals again after 13 years. At that time, the Thunder's leader was the 1.0 version of the Thunder's Three Young Masters composed of Durant, Westbrook and Harden. Everyone knows the story later. Facing the Heat who is holding a group to keep warm, the third young master of Thunder returned in a crushing defeat. In the summer, the third young master of Thunder who is unlimitedly imaginative, and turned into a king-bombing group. Although he is still brave, he has never reached the finals since then. It was not until this year that he was led by the 2.0 version of the Thunder who is composed of Alexander, Chett and Jaylen that he was able to enter the finals again. This time, their opponent is no longer the super team that is holding a group to keep warm!

This time, they are still young, and the average age of the third young master is only 24 years old! If we can win the championship smoothly this time, we should be able to wash away the humiliation of the Thunder management 13 years ago, right? If the Thunder fails to win the championship, the Thunder cannot make the mistakes of the past again. After all, its core player is still in the growth stage and is far from the age of peak. He still has a lot of first rounds in his hands. Facing the Westbrook, George and Anthony combination in his hands, the Thunder are willing to pay luxury taxes for them. This time, even if they sell the goods, they have to renew their contract!
