Just today! The Thunder broke two NBA historical records in 79 years, but Xu Jingyu angrily criticized Durant

NBA playoffs are in full swing. Today, the Thunders faced the Timberwolves at home. After the first four games of both sides, the Thunder led by a big score of 3:1. In today's game, the Thunder took the home court, taking advantage of the time, place and people. After fierce competition in four quarters, they finally eliminated the Timberwolves with 124:94 and sent the Timberwolves home with a score of 4:1. For the Timberwolves, it is really hard to understand that they eliminated the Western Conference Finals for two consecutive years. After all, they eliminated the Lakers 4:1 in the first round of this year, but lost to the Thunder 1:4 in the Western Conference Finals, and there is no possibility of eliminating the Thunder.

The Timberwolves performed extremely poorly in this game, trailing 17 points at 9:26 in the first quarter, and 9 points in a single quarter was also the lowest score in the team's playoff history. None of them performed well in a quarter and ended up losing to the Thunder 94:124. In terms of basic data, the Timberwolves rebounded 39:46, assisted 6:26, steals 7:14, blocked 6:8, turnovers 21:14, free throws 12:18, three-pointers 12:14, fouls 20:20, shooting percentage 41% to 52%, free throw percentage 80% to 86%, three-point shooting percentage 35% to 40%, and no lead in all data, which also set an embarrassing record.

The Timberwolves performed poorly in this game. Randall was pretty well-behaved. He played 31 minutes in the game, made 8 of 18 shots, contributing 24 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 assists, but he made 4 mistakes, with a plus-minus value of -28. Edwards, the core player, performed even worse. He played for 38 minutes, made 7 of 18 shots, 1 of 7 three-pointers, and 4 of 6 free throws, and scored 19 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 assists in inefficiently. He failed to play his own characteristics, with a plus-minus value of -29, the lowest in the game. In the entire Western Conference Finals, Edwards played a total of 5 games, averaging 37 minutes per game, scoring only 23 points, 4 rebounds, and 6.4 assists, shooting 47% from the field, 28% from three-pointers, and 68.8% from free throws. In contrast, Alexander, the Thunder's core core, also plays as the shooting guard and is also the core figure of the team, but his performance is obviously better. In today's game, Alexander played for 33 minutes, made 14 of 25 shots, made 2 of 4 three-pointers, and made 4 free throws, scoring 34 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists, and 2 steals, with both offense and defense, with a plus-negative value of +23. During the entire series, he averaged 31.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, 8.2 assists, and 1.8 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of up to 46%, fully exerting his leadership responsibilities. His unsolved mid-range shooting ability set an example for other stars. In the playoffs, he cannot rely solely on three-pointers and free throws. After the game, Teacher Xu Jingyu's comments on him were very accurate. Xu Jingyu felt that Alexander's humble personality has been consistent for many years, not arrogant when he wins or discourages when he loses. After losing to the Mavericks last year, he neither retreated nor applied to leave the team, nor asked the management to do anything. Even though the outside world was not optimistic about him, he still mocked him a lot. But with his strong inner heart and basketball skills, he dedicated his perfect offensive and defensive performance to Thunder fans. Alexander had been named the MVP of the league this season. After the event ended today, he was named the MVP of the Western Conference Finals, and fans sincerely applauded him. He has a heart that is truly persistent in winning or losing. Teacher Xu Jingyu said that at this point, he is ten times better than Durant. As the former boss of the Thunder, Durant is far from the current Thunder boss Alexander, and Xu Jingyu can be regarded as indirectly criticizing Durant.

In addition, the entire Thunder team performed very well in this game. In addition to Alexander, Homegren also contributed 22 points and 7 rebounds. This young Thunder core is expected to grow further, and the future of the Thunder will be very exciting. The second head of the company made 7 of 10 shots today, contributing 19 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists. Jaylen Williams has excellent offense and defense, which has provided great help to Alexander. Dort scored 12 points and 4 rebounds. Joe from the bench contributed 11 points.

After this game, the Thunder also set two records in NBA 79 years history. First, the average age of the Thunder is 24.2 years old. After reaching the Finals, they became the youngest team in NBA history to reach the Finals. At the same time, this game is also the Thunder's 61st game this season, surpassing the 60 games set by the Warriors in 2017, setting a new record, which has never been seen in NBA history. The Thunder set two consecutive historical records.

After they entered the finals, the probability of winning the championship is as high as 83%. If nothing unexpected happens, the Thunder will most likely win the championship this year. If Alexander continues to perform well and win the MVP in the finals, he will become the fourth player in the league to win the MVP in the regular season, MVP in the Western Conference Finals, and MVP in the Finals.
