Alexander: The first person in the new league?

Alexander led the team to the finals with a very strong performance, making the championship gradually deepened. This great trend not only made the Thunder, a team active in the historical level of Durant, Westbrook and Harden, take the lead in entering a new era. His unique performance in the Western Conference Finals and his multi-dimensional opponent, who is highly anticipated by public opinion, crushed a large number of opponents who are willing to use non-inertial fouls to define his cognition.

Alexander is heading towards the new league number one, as long as he fulfills his trend assumption by the public: win the championship and win the FMVP. Alexander has already stood at the door of the No. 1 player in the team history. Compared with the two most extreme seniors, Durant and Westbrook, who are both the most extreme. Durant led the team to the finals, but he was abandoned by the entire city because of his revenge. A one-time player like PJ Dozier can wear the No. 35 jersey he has given him a mission. Westbrook is still the first person in the Thunder team history at this stage, because he has made great contributions, and he also has a triple-double king and an MVP. But his team's record is average, and he has more points to emotional and humanistic. This non-competitive advantage can be cracked by Alexander as long as he wins the championship. In the Eastern Conference Finals, the Pacers have eliminated the Knicks 4-2 and advanced to the finals. Although Halliburton and the Pacers are amazing, Siakam can compete for the most incredible championship in history if he wins the championship. The Pacers were the Heat in the previous few years, and they continued to be lower than the score until the finals. Halliburton led the team to eliminate the Bucks who had the top three Antetokounmpo in the league, the Cavaliers in the regular season led by Mitchell, and the Knicks who had reversed the defending champion Celtics in a row, and basically all had a 4-1 crush. The Pacers have many famous scenes, but they don't seem to match the Thunder, which is the only one of the season's strength.

So Alexander was discussed as the frequency of the boss's championship (winning the championship and FMVP) gradually stabilized. Once it was formed, he was the number one person in the Thunder's history and the number one person in the new league. If you want to become the number one player in the league, you must challenge the number one player in the league, and it is best to win head-on. [Just like Durant and Curry challenged James back then, the difference is that both Durant and Curry failed to challenge. James's epic finals performance made Durant's FMVP firmly suppressed even for two consecutive FMVPs, while Curry brought 73 wins against the Warriors 3-1 and led by James with five statistics, leading the team first in the two teams to reverse and lose the championship. 】Alexander is different. He has played against Jokic twice this season in the league's first player this season, both of which have won. One was the competition for the regular season MVP, and the other was the Western Conference semifinals.

Frequent fouls have killed a large part of Alexander's market, covering up his inspirational background from George, a substitute for low-cost-performance stars who have been abandoned by the Clippers, to the most valuable player in the regular season. However, this is not a technical flaw, but it can expand the influence of the game, although it is not the same as the old-school superstar. Strong foul ability can bring your own restraint, which improves the space for mid- and long-distance shooting and the success rate of breakthroughs. Moreover, Alexander is good at creating fouls rather than relying on creating fouls. He is the first in the league of professional competitive skills in high-end games, so he is closer to FMVP, the highest personal value award and identity than Harden, Embiid, Lillard, Trae Young, and Butler, who were good at creating fouls before.

Alexander's basic board is there, and his organization and defense can ensure that he can switch to other game modes if his scoring state is worrying. Alexander's two skills, fouls and breakthroughs, can not only strengthen the impact of individual offensiveness, but also expand the strength of the team system. Alexander's breakthrough pass success rate and assist are both the top level of the league at this stage. His grasp of the rhythm can be used to tear the entire defense line of the opponent in a long period of time.

Behind Alexander, there are teammates like Jewish, Chett, Caruso, and Dort who can help and restrain him in various dimensions. In addition to Alexander, there are also a lot of practical blue-collar workers who have not shined in their debut or have experienced a lot of practical blue-collar workers. The average age is less than 25 years old. He is the second youngest team in the playoffs and the second youngest team in the history of the Finals. The excellence of the Thunder management has continued from the third young master of the Thunder to the present. The team's salary, contract years and draft picks are so exquisite that they are like works of art. This is also one of Alexander's strongest tools.

When White lamented that the Celtics would never go back to the past, and the Celtics would have to break up after their boss sold their team and Tatum was seriously injured, and Jokic said that the Nuggets could no longer win the championship, Alexander had a strong plasticity, a very high fault tolerance rate, and a high probability of winning the championship. With the support of FMVP who can be put on the agenda, he basically locked in the new identity of the first person in the league, and it is not ruled out that he could surpass Antetokounmpo and Jokic. However, Alexander is not as good as Jokic and Antetokounmpo in terms of overall effect, which will be an obvious variable for him to maintain his status as the first person in the league.
