The plot of the third young master of Thunder reappears! He averages 22+5+5 per game but is suppressed by SGA, just like Harden back then

On May 10, the NBA playoffs continued. If you want to talk about the most popular game today, it is definitely the Nuggets vs. The Thunder series. In the last game, the Nuggets lost their mentality, but they made good adjustments. The team showed their resilience in this game. They bit their opponents all the games and finally defeated their opponents through overtime. Now they are leading 2-1 with a big score.
Since the first round of the series, the Nuggets have not been favored. Even though they are fourth in the West, the outside world believes that the Clippers have more hope of winning. As a result, they won the opponent in a tiebreak. Now facing the Thunder, which has 68 wins in the regular season, the Nuggets have also taken the lead. They may be underestimated. Maybe they are the strong contenders for the Western Conference championship. I am not a game. I guess everyone has discovered from the past few games that the Nuggets' championship background has been stimulated through these high-intensity games. The confidence and execution of their players are obviously better than the Thunder and have better experience.
There is no benefit to the Thunder. They are not only uncomfortable in playing, but also their confidence is almost lost. Look at Alexander, he doesn't dare to play any of them in overtime. He passed 5 goals in a row and shot 0 times. He made a crazy 1 of 8 in the fourth quarter. He played poorly in the fourth quarter and did not dare to take action in overtime. This is a popular MVP this season. Even if he wins the MVP this season, he probably won't get much recognition.
Alexander made 7 of 22 shots in this game, 1 of 6 three-pointers and scored 18 points, 13 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals. He played very badly. The key is that Alexander is still a little good at shooting three-pointers, and he threw 4 three-pointers in the third quarter. Today's Alexander gives me a bit like Westbrook when he was young, but he is not as good as Westbrook's defense when he was young, but it is true that he is unreasonable in offensive choices.
Alexander has averaged 29 points, 6.7 rebounds, 6.7 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.7 blocks in the playoffs. The data is indeed good, but friends who have watched his game know that Alexander relies on unlimited firing rights to shoot, including against the Grizzlies. He has always been inefficient. If the referee gives the whistle, he will play a good game. If he doesn't give the whistle, he can only rely on crazy shots to accumulate points. His shooting percentage is only 43.9%, three-pointers and 26%. He has only hit 6 three-pointers so far in the playoffs, but he has made crazy moves in the fourth quarter. How dare you?
Jewe performed very well in this game, but what is speechless is that he did not have the ball rights at a critical moment. Perhaps this is the psychological unwillingness of many second-in-commanders. If I don’t perform well, I can’t do it, but if I perform so well, I don’t give the ball, which is really too much. In this game, Jewe made 11 of 21 shots in the game, 3 of 7 three-pointers and scored 32 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists. He scored 16 points in the last quarter, and helped the team overtake 3 points at the critical moment. As a result, in the last attack, Alexander wanted to ask for a whistle but failed to blow.
Jewe can be said to be the most stable player in the playoffs. He averaged 22.6 points, 5 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.1 steals, 0.9 blocks in the playoffs, with a shooting percentage of 49.2% and a three-point shooting percentage of 27.5%. Although the three-point efficiency is not high, his overall shooting percentage is significantly stronger than Alexander. If Alexander's ball is given to Javi, will Javi's performance not be worse than Alexander? In fact, the two are still very similar.
Jerwei is the core of the team's second-tier team. He has Alexander's tactical position in the starting lineup. He has excellent ball-holding offensive ability and better confrontation. This reminds people of Harden back then. Harden's talent is no worse than Westbrook, but because he entered the league later, he does not have the ball and tactical position like Westbrook, and he is more of a role as the sixth substitute. After leaving the Thunder, Harden also proves his ability when he left Westbrook and can stand alone.
The same is true for Jewe now. If he is put on a reconstruction team and gives him unlimited fire, his data will probably not be worse than Alexander. The reason why Alexander has become a popular MVP this season is that in addition to his outstanding performance, the league's praise is also the key. In the regular season, he has a whistle and can easily score many free throws. However, in the playoffs, he has no such treatment, and his offensive firepower has also declined seriously.
The third young master of the Thunder then entered the process of resolving due to contract issues. This time, the third young master may also be disbanded due to contract issues. In the offseason, Jewe and Chet face early renewal. Although the Thunder may have a great chance of renewing Jewe in advance, if they cannot win the championship, will the Thunder choose to break up Du Hawei and break up the current third young master like they did back then? If these three people have never succeeded, it is inevitable that the team will eventually break them up.
