Alexander set a record, making a total of 40 free throws in the first two games of the new season, and his new nickname is the Ratings Destroyer

On October 24, without knowing it, last season’s Grand Slam Alexander broke the record again. He scored 55 points and made 26 free throws. In the first two games of the season, he made 40 free throws. American netizens gave him a new nickname "Ratings Destroyer".

In the first two games of the new season, the Thunder faced two strong teams in a row. In the opening game, they faced the Rockets at home, and then faced the Pacers, their opponents in last season's finals. In these two games, Alexander continued to start his crazy output and scoring show, with 30 plus points in both games. But at the same time, it has to be said that after completing his personal career Grand Slam last season, Alexander also received a new title. Now his new nickname is called "Ratings Destroyer."

Because the 27-year-old Alexander can indeed contribute 30 plus points steadily in every game, but the price he pays is too many free throws. This made American netizens finally unable to bear it and began to unanimously bombard the large number of free throws he got. Among Alexander's 35 points in the last game, he made 14 free throws and made 10 of 14 free throws. However, facing the Pacers this time, Alexander was simply a free throw master. In the first half, he began to become a free throw master. He made 7 free throws in 6 minutes in the first quarter. As soon as the game started, he started to make fierce free throws.

In fact, there is no big problem with free throws, but taking such penalties at the beginning will indeed greatly reduce the enjoyment of the game. This is true for everyone. No netizens or fans want to see someone come up and stand on the free throw line for 5 minutes without saying a word, right? This is not a normal game.

In the first half of the game, Alexander had already made 12 free throws and scored 5 goals in 8 shots. However, he scored 21 points on 11 of 12 free throws. With 21 points in the half and a solid 30 points, it shouldn't be a big problem, but he took so many free throws. Alexander The reason why the threat of big mid-range shots, including breakthroughs, is high is because many times the ball that can be whistled or not whistled by others will be whistled when it comes to him. Others don't want to touch him, so naturally there will be more free throws. Now he really has a whistle for this breakthrough, and he will blow it as soon as he touches it.

Even if Harden at his peak wants to make 30 free throws in the first two games of the new season, it may not be easy, but Alexander can really do it. To some extent, his lethality is more terrifying than Harden's before. In the second half of the game, Alexander's free throws still soared like crazy. In the end, including overtime, Alexander made 23 of 26 free throws, 40 free throws in two games!

But American netizens finally couldn't bear the way he played. They began to discuss Alexander's new nickname, "Ratings Destroyer", because he was shooting free throws as soon as the TV was turned on, and he ruined basketball. No one wants to turn on the TV and watch a super giant standing on the free throw line throwing ball after ball. What everyone wants to watch is a wonderful confrontation, not a person practicing free throws.

No wonder angry American netizens are also bombarding Alexander: "I finally know how much I hate watching his game. This is not basketball at all."
