Quietly winning 8 games in a row, ranking first in the league! The defending champion makes history, and the North Beggars continue to compete for MVP.

Until the defending champion falls, they will always be the champion! In the new season, many wealthy teams in the East and West are armed to the teeth. The Knicks, Cavaliers, Nuggets, Clippers, Rockets, and Warriors all use the defending champion Thunder as their imaginary enemy, forming a campaign to encircle and suppress the Thunder! So far, these wealthy teams have all tasted losing without exception, and the two championship teams, the Rockets and Clippers, have personally tasted the Thunder's iron fist! On the other hand, the Thunder team has won consecutive games, showing the foundation and dominance that the defending champion should have, and the situation of defending the championship is excellent.

Last season, the Thunder broke the best record in team history with 68 wins and 14 losses, and won Oklahoma City's first NBA championship! Even so, this small-town team located in a remote mountainous area still did not win the respect it deserved. The ratings of the finals hit record lows, and even the championship demonstrations were ignored. SGA once said, if we win one championship but don’t win recognition, then we’ll win another one! The Thunder also thought so. During this offseason, the Thunder renewed SGA with a four-year super maximum salary of US$285 million, and also gave Jaylen Way and Chet a five-year maximum salary contract of US$241 million. Obviously, President Trump doesn't want to make the stupid mistake of "letting Harden go and missing out on the dynasty" again. They want to build a dynasty that belongs to Oklahoma City at all costs.

The Thunder team set sail again, but encountered an eventful year. Jaylen Way has not made his season debut due to wrist surgery, Topic has been injured indefinitely due to testicular cancer, Isaiah Joe has missed 5 games due to knee injury, Caruso has missed 3 games due to concussion, Cut has missed 3 games due to back injury, and Dort has missed one game due to illness. The Thunder lineup has never been put together. Even so, the Thunder quietly won 8 consecutive victories and made history! According to statistics from the NBA's official website, the 8-game winning streak is the best start in the history of the Thunder. At the same time, the Thunder are the third team in NBA history to start with at least 7+ consecutive wins for two consecutive years. The other two are the Rockets in the 1993-95 season and the Celtics in the 1963-65 season. The Rockets and Green Army both completed two consecutive championships that year.

From narrowly defeating the Rockets with 1 point in double overtime in the opening game, to defeating the Pacers in double overtime in the second game, from 17-point victory over the Hawks to 7-point victory over the Mavericks, from 6-point victory over the National Basketball Association From the 19-point victory over the Wizards, from the 31-point bloodbath of the Pelicans to the 19-point victory over the Clippers, the Thunder were able to handle the situation with ease when encountering a strong team, and beat their opponents to the point of peeing and crawling when they encountered a weak team. They were terrifyingly powerful! In the process, the Thunder ranked among the best in many offensive and defensive statistics. According to statistics from the NBA's official website, so far this season, the Thunder's defensive efficiency (104.8), free throw shooting percentage (85.6%), defensive rebounds (36.5), points using turnovers (25.1), and opponent's shooting percentage (42.5%) all rank first in the league.

The league's only defense has become the fundamentals of the Thunder's game, and the Thunder's offensive system does not require any adjustment, and the depth of the lineup is extremely terrifying. No matter who is unable to play due to injury, there will always be someone who can step forward - Chet's progress is visible to the naked eye, and the sudden emergence of Mitchell and Isaiah Joe is a surprise. In the words of fans, the Thunder's 8-game winning streak is not terrible. What is terrible is that this is not a complete defending champion. What is terrible is that the defending champion has not yet found a crosshair from beyond the three-point line. The three-point field goal percentage is only 33.3%, ranking outside the 20th place in the league! In other words, when all members of the Thunder team are healthy and when they regain the league-average three-point shooting feel, that will be a terrifying moment for the entire league.

The remnants of the Thunder Buddha block and kill the Buddha and God, and SGA maintains MVP-level output. So far this season, SGA has played 8 games, averaging 35 minutes per game, averaging 33.1 points (second in the league) + 5 rebounds + 6.6 assists + 1 steal + 1.4 blocks + 1.9 three-pointers, with a shooting rate of 53.5%. According to According to statistics from the NBA official website, SGA has scored 20+ points in 80 consecutive games, surpassing Big O (79 games) and ranking third in NBA history. The top two are both Chamberlain (126 consecutive games once, 92 consecutive games once). In another statistic, SGA clocked in three quarters in 4 consecutive games and scored 30+ points in 3 consecutive games with less than 30 minutes of playing time, becoming the first person in NBA history!

This is the defending champion and SGA. Even if they don’t get much attention, even if many people call SGA the Northern Beggar, they are still terrifyingly powerful. They have truly achieved the goal of “many people can’t stand them but can’t kill them.” The fault tolerance rate is too high! At least judging from the current situation, Beiqi SGA is stable and ruthless. This is the Thunder's biggest trump card and confidence in defending the championship. The Thunder's record also has a very high lower limit, which will be Bei Bei's biggest advantage in competing for MVP! Fans and friends, what do you think of this? Come and leave me a comment to discuss.
