Who else?! The youngest in the league + 20 draft picks! What are the Rockets and Spurs

I thought the showdown between the Timberwolves and the Thunder was a head-on confrontation between the two young troops, a close match, and a direct reflection of the future territory of the West. Unexpectedly, the direct impression that this round of the series gave Hot Tok is that some people said there were referee factors, and some people thought that the playing style of the Thunder Young Master Alexander is worth discussing, but it has to be admitted that the gap between the overall strength of the Timberwolves and the Thunder is still very obvious.

Today, G5 is a life-and-death game for the Timberwolves. If you lose, you have to go home. However, the Timberwolves got a big shot and scored 9 points in the first quarter. Only 32 points were scored in the first half. Is this the mental outlook that the life-and-death game should have? In the end, the Thunder won 30 points, and the gentleman swept the Timberwolves and easily won the Western Conference championship.

Of course, you can't deny that this Thunder is really strong, especially there are too many people available on the defensive end, and there are too many players who are adapted to their system. Dort, who has always been in the team, Wallace, the defensive pioneer he chose, and Caruso, who was exchanged from the Bulls in the offseason last year. Who isn't a first-class defensive expert? The team's offensive base is more than enough to rely on the New Third Young Master to support it.

Today, Alexander made 14 of 25 shots, scoring 34 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists in the game. Alexander averaged 31.4 points and 8.2 assists per game in the Western Conference Finals, directly crushing Hua Zi, and successfully elected the FMVP of the Western Conference Finals. Just like Alexander's current situation, I really feel like I want it all, MVP, Western Conference Finals FMVP, and even the Finals FMVP. Competitive sports have always been result-oriented. As long as you win the championship, you can defeat everyone.

In addition to Alexander, Jewish also scored 19 points, and Homgren also scored 22 points. The Thunder now is multi-core and multi-threading. You can limit Alexander's score, but the other two cores will also punish you. Even if three people cannot play at the same time, he can still fight you with defense until the last moment. Even if you can suddenly explode in a certain game, but if you can't achieve 7 consecutive bursts, then you can't do anything to the Thunder.

Currently, the Thunder is the youngest team in the league on average, and the Thunder will have 20 first-round picks in the next five years. Everyone is discussing how powerful it would be if the Rockets and Spurs can be exchanged for Antetokounmpo and Durant in the offseason. But do you know that the Thunder, who is younger than you and has as many chips as you, has stood on the stage of the finals. The Rockets and Spurs are still imagining and planning, and the Thunder have won the present and even held the future. What the old third young master has not completed, now the new third young master seems to have a very good chance to complete. Even if this year doesn't work, I believe that the Thunder management will not make the same mistake again.

In contrast, the Timberwolves now feel like they have become a stepping stone for the Thunder. The Timberwolves will be a strong competitor in the West in the future and are also the most difficult opponents in the Thunder West. These are foreseeable, but the gap between the two teams, the quality of the new players of the two teams, including the core quality, and the team building ideas of the Hot Spot Jun feels a bit like the shadow of Huo Yong back then.

Of course, it is undeniable that Huazi's enthusiasm and his ability to continue to improve. Whether it is true Jordan leading the team to break through the bottleneck, or Alexander's stepping stone to become a god depends on Huazi's future luck.
