How did Caruso perform in the five finals? Is it the most important signing for the Thunder?

The Thunder won Tianwang Mountain and now the probability of winning the championship has soared to 73%. Compared with last season, the Thunder's lineup has not changed much. First, signing Haten, the center in the Knicks last season, increased the height and intensity of the inside line, and secondly, using Gidey single for Caruso. Last year they were also the number one in the West, but they stopped in the second round. After coming to these two people this year, the team's strength has improved significantly and is currently very likely to win the first championship.

Look at how Caruso performed in the five finals?

G1, played for 28 minutes, scored 11 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks (lose)

G2, played for 27 minutes, scored 20 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist (win)

G3, played for 32 minutes, scored 8 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals (lose)

G4, played for 30 minutes, scored 20 points, 3 rebounds, 5 steals (win)

G5, played for 29 minutes, scored 2 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists, 4 steals and 1 block (win)

Caruso defended Halliburton in the finals, and often defended alone. He also played the most time in the Thunder substitute, which shows how trusted he is by the coach.

Not only that, Alexander also talked about Caruso in an interview yesterday. He said: "He is the only person in our team who has a championship ring. He knows what it takes to win the championship. When he speaks, everyone will listen, whether it is me or Jaylen, they will listen to his opinions. You can't help but listen, because you have no choice when you see the influence he brings to the game. "

MVP has to listen to Caruso, this row... is really worth it. But looking at Caruso's fighting spirit on the court, you really feel that such a player can't help but like him. In the last 5 and a half minutes of G5, the Thunder led by 13 points. Caruso first caused Nemhard's pass error, and then rushed over and held the ball in his arms. He was definitely telling other players not to be careless with his actions.

After the game ended yesterday, Caruso interviewed after the game and talked about whether there would be a tiebreak. He said: "This will be the most difficult game of the year. The final battle of each round of the series is the most difficult game of the year. We don't want to tiebreak now, just focus on the next game. For us, playing every goal in every game is what we need to consider. "

Speaking of performance on both ends of offense and defense, Caruso said: "I think I am a comprehensive player and can do well in many aspects. Defense is the foundation for my early career to take root in the NBA, and these people have also developed a lot of offensive skills. I will be prepared, understand the trend of the game, seize opportunities regardless of offense and defense, and always stay aggressive. "

Many people say that Caruso's defense is good because there are many small moves, but this is the finals, and he is very smart. He will first test the referee's standards and then do how big the moves. You see, he played a lot of time in the whole game, but he didn't make many fouls and gave people the feeling that he was good at defending. This is how smart he is. Not the kind of player who has a particularly big move, or a player who uses fierce fouls to show off his own defense.

Finally, I have to say another sentence: How did the Lakers lose him? Caruso was determined to stay in the Lakers at that time and would rather get less money. Why did he choose the "anti-basketball king"?
