Shay scored 35 points to the gods, and asked the teacher to be so careful that he doubted his life. How many points would you give this Thunder?

Thunder really killed crazy! Mr. 35 points won the gods in one battle, and the Nuggets collapsed. He was so embarrassed that he had no temper when he asked for a teacher! In the Western Conference semi-final tiebreak, the Oklahoma City Thunder directly scored a shocking victory at home, defeating the Denver Nuggets 125-93, and directly sending the defending champion home. This game is no exaggeration to say, it can be called a "unilateral beating". From the second quarter, the Thunder completely took over the rhythm of the game. Until the final whistle, the Nuggets almost didn't breathe anymore.

The most dazzling player in the whole game is undoubtedly the Thunder's star Shay Gilgers-Alexander. He made 12 of 19 shots in the game, scored 35 points, and had three steals, making 0 mistakes in the game, almost making a textbook-level offensive and defensive performance. Stabilize, ruthless and accurate, everything is under control. Jaylen Williams, who only scored 6 points on the court, also rebounded strongly this time, making 10 of 17 shots and scoring 24 points, and his condition recovered just right. After the game, Shay sighed: "He is great. If it were last year, he would definitely not be able to perform like this today." The young core members of the Thunder are growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and this battle is like maturing overnight.

In fact, at the beginning of the game, the Nuggets were still a little imposing. With one minute left in the first quarter, they once led to double digits, and it seemed that they continued the momentum of Game 6. But the Thunder then hit the opponent 13-0 and quickly overtook it. With more than 7 minutes left in the second quarter, after Dort's three-pointer made, the Thunder firmly controlled the rhythm of the game. The 18-5 wave before the end of the first half brought the score to 60-46, which greatly damaged the Nuggets' morale. What's even worse is that at the beginning of the third quarter, the Nuggets made consecutive mistakes. The Thunder seized the opportunity to counterattack wildly, making the gap wider and wider. By the fourth quarter, the Thunder once led by 43 points and directly scored into "garbage time".

Nuggets only made 10 of 45 three-pointers in the game, and their shooting percentage was terrible. The third quarter was even more outrageous, with only 3 of 14 shots, and 23 mistakes in the game, completely destroying the Great Wall. On the other hand, the Thunder had only 10 mistakes, but they grabbed 37 points from the Nuggets. The gap between offense and defense directly determines the direction of the game.

It is worth mentioning that today Thunder has another hidden hero - Alex Caruso. Although he was not big, he actually personally guarded Jokic, and the Nuggets' "midfield engine" really limited. Jokic scored 20 points on 5 of 9 shots in the game. The data seemed to be OK, but Caruso was obviously uncomfortable throughout the game. Caruso's plus or minus value in this game is as high as +40, which is the first in the game. It's simply unbelievable that a character player can perform like this in the playoff tiebreak. The Thunder coach couldn't help but praise him after the game: "His performance is simply incredible."

Nuggets coach Adelman could only smile bitterly after the game: "We actually controlled the pace at the beginning, but we were quickly caught off guard by the opponent. They rotated too fast, and we couldn't keep up at all."

This victory was not only a breakthrough for the Thunder, but also a highlight moment for the city. Shea said it sincerely after the game: "This is of great significance, especially for our city. No matter how good or bad the fans are, the fans are always behind us. There is no second team in the league like us, with full home energy." Indeed, from beginning to end today, the audience's emotions were at the peak, and the Thunder's home advantage is really not a pity.

The Thunder have successfully advanced to the Western Conference Finals, and their opponents are the same young and vigorous Timberwolves. The two Youth Storm teams are about to face a head-on battle, and this kind of new generation duel is destined to be full of highlights. It can be said that this thunder has long been no longer "promising future", but "can win now". After this game, no one dares to underestimate them anymore. Thunder, it's really here!
