Super Heavy Artillery

After the Christmas War, 2019 is basically over. Thunder has two games left in this year. One against Hornets and one against raptors, both of which are away games.

In the game with the Hornets, perhaps it is decided that Anluo and others in the Christmas War consumed too much physical strength, Donovan directly retired half of the main lineup. To this end, thunder also received a warning from the League official after the game.

Adam Shaw really hated letting key players out of the game for no reason. However, this trend has not been banned in the league. The coaches have all sorts of reasons to rest their players.

This kind of thing mainly concentrates on two kinds of teams. One is a team that aspires to the championship, such as the thunder and the Clippers. It's easy for them to get into the playoffs. Rotation can not only reduce the burden on core players, but also avoid injuries. The other is that teams like warriors, which are basically hopeless this season, simply let some of the main players have a good rest, and by the way, they can strive for a better draft signing and obtain high-quality rookies or trading chips.

But this kind of thing is not conducive to the operation of the whole league, to a certain extent, it will damage the impression of the league in the hearts of fans. Therefore, in the past two seasons, the league officials began to severely punish such incidents.

However, the results have been modest.

Without the thunder of ANLO and Westbrook, the combat effectiveness has indeed decreased a lot. As a result, they played very hard against the third from last Hornets in the East.

Alexander and Ferguson have replaced wesbrook and enrol in the starting line-up. It was Donovan's first attempt to get Alexander to play number one, which he had always scored in number two. Thunder management and Donovan are very optimistic about the future of this young man, even Anluo will give him a "give up" position.

Alexander is indeed worth the effort of thunder. So far, the average game data of the second year rookie has reached about 14 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists. Although it is not as good as Dong Qiqi and tre young, Alexander has been included in the discussion of the best sixth man this season.

If it stays like this, Alexander's field average should improve at the end of the season. By that time, Alexander will be the third Oklahoma thunder player to win the "best sixth man" player after Hadden and ANLO.

This should also be a tradition of thunder! Both Hadden and anlow were the best sixth person award during their rookie contracts, and both grew up and became a shining star in the league.

Alexander was good enough in the past, but this game is really famous in the first World War.

Thunder and Hornets fought for 53 minutes in the spectrum Center arena. There has been a stalemate between the two sides, and by the end of the regular time, thunder would have had a chance to kill the game. But a mistake by Alexander gave the other side a chance. Graham took the game to extra time with a super long three pointer.

The last five minutes still keep you coming and going. In the end, Oklahoma City secured the victory with Alexander's quick stop jump shot 1.8 seconds before the end.

Donovan was still trusting after Alexander's critical moment error, and it must be said that there was some risk. But Donovan's trust proved not to be paid wrong.

In addition to the goal, Alexander's performance throughout the game was very brilliant. In 42 minutes, 15 out of 28, 4 out of 9 out of 3-point shots, 6 out of 8 free throws, scored the highest 40 points in the game. In addition, he also contributed 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals. Both sides of the offensive and defensive performance can be called impeccable.

After the game, Donovan was full of praise for the young player. As a head coach, Donovan is really lucky.

Donovan took over the thunder as NCAA's double champion coach. At that time, he had Durant and Westbrook in his hands. Donovan with Wang's fried hands did not spend too much thought, the team can get good results.

Later, thunder was defeated and Durant joined the warriors. But they got anlow, and a year later they traded Paul George. Thunder finished a gorgeous turn on the edge of reconstruction and won the championship directly.

During this period, Donovan's greatest contribution may be to adjust the relationship between the thunder three giants on and off the court, and combine the team into a whole. In the construction of the team's attack and defense system, Donovan grasped the key of thunder's personnel allocation and played the infinite defense to the extreme. On the offensive side, most of them are left to Westbrook.

Now, as it was two years ago, with Paul George gone, thunder once again has a very good young man. When Alexander grew up completely, Westbrook was not old at that time, and Anluo was at the peak. In addition, Adams and Gallinari, a group of super powerful role players, thunder's future was immeasurable.

Of course, Alexander's excellent performance has a lot to do with Donovan's ample opportunities and with their opponents. Wasp, it really doesn't mean that they want to rise. Many operations are inexplicable, for example, they let go of the hard-working kenba Walker in the off-season, in exchange for an eye higher than top Rozier.Thunderbolt will rest in Charlotte for one night and move to Toronto the next day.

It's another tough enough game. What's more, thunder is going all out in this game.

In this game, ANLO, Westbrook, Gallinari and Alexander, these four guys arranged the thunder 80% of the score. It's not because the other players don't get many chances, but these guys are in better shape.

For players, it's not good to be too busy and tired, but it's not good to rest too long. ANLO and Westbrook were clearly not in form at the start of the game. Fortunately, they didn't spend much time adjusting.

Lori and sICAM of raptors caused thunder great trouble. The latter has been outstanding this season, but the former also erupts at the same time, which is very difficult to deal with.

Finally, relying on the tacit cooperation of Anluo and Westbrook, they played a wave of attack climax, and achieved a 4-point advantage with 2 minutes left in the game, and maintained to the end.

With the victory of these two games, Oklahoma City overtook the Los Angeles Lakers in the last moment of 2019 and once again topped the Western Conference, marking a perfect end to the year.
