Scoring 40 points is almost over Westbrook! SGA should pay attention: Your epic Grand Slam may be destroyed!

Scoring 40 points is almost surpassing Westbrook!

The second leader of the Thunder, Jaylen Williams, played the strongest game in his career in the playoffs in the finals G5 Tianwangshan. He played 35 minutes and 10 seconds in the whole game, made 14 of 25 shots, 3 of 5 three-pointers, 9 of 12 free throws, scored 40 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal, with a plus-minus value +14 highest in the team. Looking at the whole game, Jaylenway is the most stable player in the team and the most capable of responding to the ball. Especially in the second, third and fourth quarters, every time the Pacers start to play, he stands up and gives the ball again and again, using incredible finishing skills to destroy the willpower of the Pacers players. It can be said that if he had not performed at a stable critical moment, the Pacers would have a chance to reverse this game!

When McConnell's surprises broke out and scored 13 points in a single quarter and narrowed the gap again and again, Jaylenway stood up and responded again and again, and 4 of 5 shots in a single quarter responded 13 points, helping the team to defend 8 points and lead into the fourth quarter. When Siakam combined inside and outside and scored continuously to narrow the score to 2 points, he stood up and hit the key three-pointer, and then scored 2+1. He scored 11 points again in the fourth quarter, helping the team establish a double-digit advantage! Whether it is personal performance or data quality, Jaylenway is the number one hero of Thunder's victory in the Battle of Tianwang Mountain.

With his outstanding performance in this game, he set his own career record and set a new career high in the playoffs with 40 points in a single game. And scored 40 points in the finals, almost surpassing Westbrook's first team record in 2012, facing the Heat, scoring 43 points! In addition, he has also become the third player in NBA history to score 40 points at the age of under 24, with the first two being Westbrook and the Magic. ESPN also shared a data after the game: From 1998 to the present, players who scored 18 points in the penalty area in a single game in the finals made 3 three-pointers, LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Jaylen Williams. The record is set in one battle + comparable to a number of legends. More importantly, he led the team to win the key battle of Tianwang Mountain. Jaylenway has already walked on the road to the smooth road leading to super stars!

SGA should be noted: your historical Grand Slam may be destroyed!

Until now in the finals, Alexander averaged 39.2 minutes per game, scored 32.4 points, 4.6 rebounds and 5 assists, shooting percentage of 47.4% and three-point shooting percentage of 30%. It's a perfect MVP-level performance, but from the process, Alexander started a bit high and closed low, G1 scored 38 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, G2 scored 34 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists, G3 scored 24 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists, and G4 scored 35 points and 3 rebounds, and G5 scored 31 points, 2 rebounds and 10 assists. With the end of G5, the championship this season is likely to be the Thunder. For Alexander himself, it depends on whether he can create an epic NBA Grand Slam record, that is, the first person in history who combines regular season MVP, scoring champion, best team, Western Conference Finals MVP, championship and FMVP.

But judging from the recent game progress, Jaylenway is a bit of a desire to compete for FMVP. In the five finals, Jaylenway averaged 25.8 points, 5.6 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game, with a real shooting percentage of 56.2%, which is much higher than Alexander! It is worth mentioning that in five games, unlike Alexander, his performance is increasing. G1 only scored 17 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists, G2 rose to 19 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, G3 came to 26 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, G4 scored 27 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, and it was precisely because of his advantage in leading the team that Alexander bought a rest time. In G5, he directly scored 40 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, with a shooting percentage of 56%, which directly overshadowed Alexander. If Jayne West could perform in this way in the subsequent games, then he would not have no chance to challenge becoming a FMVP. From the current perspective, although Alexander had the advantage in scoring averages, Jayne West was not much worse in terms of game influence.

If Alexander performs in the later game, then Jaylenway will likely reverse to become FMVP, and then his own epic Grand Slam may be destroyed.
