He defeated the entire league with 35 points + 0 mistakes! The best player in the Western Conference semi-finals: Alexander is stable

As soon as the smoke of the Western Conference Semi-Finals tiebreaker disappeared, the fans quarreled. Who is the boss of Tianwangshan this year's playoffs? Some say it is Jokic's omnipotence, and some say it is Edwards' explosion.

But after watching the Thunder's 125-93 game, there was only one answer: Shea Gilgers-Alexander, 35 points + 0 mistakes + 3 steals, he used a Jordan-style solo show to weld the MVP trophy directly into his own hands.

First: Get the Gods in the Seventh! Alexander smashed the soft-legged shrimp and questioned

If anyone still doubted whether Alexander was "super giant", this tiebreaker battle is the best response. Facing the Nuggets' double-team tactic, he made 12 of 19 shots, 3 of 4 three-pointers, 8 of 9 free throws, scored 35 points, and also contributed 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals, with 0 mistakes in the game! What's even more exaggerated is that he scored 14 points in the third quarter and directly defeated the Nuggets' defense line, with a positive and negative value of +32 highest in the game.

This is not the first time he has stood up at a critical moment. Throughout the series, Alexander averaged 33 points per game and shot more than 55%, especially in the fourth quarter, he always made a signature mid-range jump shot. Even the Nuggets coach had no choice but to admit: "We tried all the methods, but he was like an accurate scoring machine."

Second: Where did Jokic lose?

In comparison, Jokic, who performed two times in MVP, was a bit embarrassing. In the tiebreak game, he only made 9 shots in the game, scoring 20 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists, and only made 1 basket in the second half. Although the Thunder's double-team strategy does limit his performance, as the core of the team, he lacks the desire to attack in life and death, which directly leads to the Nuggets' offense being silent.

Perhaps the data will give us some answers: when Jokic makes fewer than 15 shots this season, the Nuggets' winning rate plummeted to 55%. In contrast, Alexander is more daring to play at the critical moment. So far in the playoffs, he has a shooting percentage of 61% in the last 5 minutes of the score, making him the "king of the big heart."

Third: Edwards was explosive enough, but Edwards, who lost to "team basketball"

Timberwolves, deserves applause. In the semi-finals, he scored 30 points with injuries, scored 16 points in the third quarter and led the team to reverse, and was even called "Contemporary Jordan" by fans. But compared to Alexander, Huazi's problem lies in stability. In the series, he had a sluggish performance of 3 of 13 shots in a single game, and the volatility of the Thunder core is almost negligible.

More importantly, Alexander is not only strong himself, but also able to drive his teammates. In this round of series, when he was on the court, the Thunder's offensive efficiency was as high as 118.5, defensive efficiency was 106.2, and the net efficiency value was the first in the league. In contrast, Edwards' strength relies more on individual singles, and his team bonus is slightly inferior.

Fourth: The MVP battle ends? He has one more ace than Teacher Joe

. This tiebreak battle almost ended the MVP suspense early. Alexander led the Thunder to play the best 68 wins in team history, with a burst of personal data (average of 32.7 points + 5 rebounds + 6.4 assists per game). Although Jokic averaged triple-double, the team's record was too far behind and was eliminated head-on in the playoffs.

What's even more terrifying is that Alexander also has a "hidden skill" → error control. This season, he averaged only 2.3 turnovers per game, with an assist-and-turnover ratio of nearly 3:1. In comparison, Doncic's data is 2:1, while Harden's 1.5:1. This "efficient and unsolvable" characteristic makes him the most reassuring key gentleman for the coach.

Fifth: The King of the New Era? He is rewriting NBA history

If the Thunder wins the championship this year, Alexander will become the first player to win the MVP+FMVP+ scoring champion in the 21st century. The last one to do this was O'Neal in 2000. Even Jordan achieved this miracle four times, and Alexander was only 26 years old and his peak period had just begun.
