So far in the NBA playoffs, there are three teams that have shown absolute dominance: the Green Army, the Timberwolves and the Thunder, although the Celtics have lost one game in the playoffs so far, but they can beat their opponents by an average of 22 points per game is inexplicable, and the loss is also the Heat's three-point is too unreasonable, it can be said that with the state they are showing now, they want to kill out of the East should be a certainty.

The Timberwolves and Thunder have not tasted defeat in the playoffs so far, the Timberwolves swept the Suns in the first round, and now they are facing the Nuggets 2-0 in the second round, maybe they will also sweep the defending champions, as far as it is now, the entire Western Timberwolves are the team with the highest call to win the championship, their defense and offense are very good, Gobert and the double champion are the offensive and defensive core of the Timberwolves, as well as the veteran Conley, as well as McDaniels, Reed, these top blue-collar workers, their lineup thickness is very good.

Although the Thunder is the first in the West, they have not been given the recognition they deserve, facing the remnants of the Pelicans in the first round, and even some fans think that they can't step over the opponent, as a result, the Thunder defeated the Pelicans in a sweeping manner, and faced the Mavericks in the second round, thinking that the Mavericks could create pressure on them, but the Thunder won them by 22 points in the first game, and the Thunder has won 5 consecutive games in the playoffs, showing their fangs.

Although this team is very young and inexperienced in the eyes of the outside world, it can also make up for the lack of experience with excellent talent, and the three young men of this team have shown the responsibility of leaders in the playoffs, and the 25-year-old Alexander has a lot of calmness and stability that veteran stars do not have, averaging 27.6 points, 6.6 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1.4 steals and 1 block per game so far in the playoffs, shooting 47% from the field.

Chet and Jaeway, two playoff rookies, are also playing very confidently, and it doesn't feel like the first time they played the playoffs, the 22-year-old Chet has averaged 16 points, 8.4 rebounds, 2 assists and 2.8 blocks per game so far, with a shooting rate of 48%, and his average block per game is the first in the league.

The 23-year-old Jay Wei likes to exert force in the connecting section, he often leads the team to a wave of direct collapse of opponents at the beginning of the second quarter or the beginning of the fourth quarter, he is now the second core of the Thunder, averaging 20.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, 5 assists and 1.4 steals per game, shooting 50%, three-point shooting rate of 39%, in addition to the 21-year-old Giddey, who has averaged 10 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists per game in the playoffs so far, and the 25-year-old Dort has averaged 10 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal per game,

Their average starters are only 23.2 years old, which is the smallest team in the league now, although young, but they are not timid, on the contrary, the team's impact on both offensive and defensive ends is very good, so far in the playoffs, the Thunder have averaged 8 steals per game, second in the league and 4th in the league with 5.8 blocks, they have played 94.8 defensive efficiency and rank first in the league, while they have conceded only 90.6 points per game is also the least in the league.

It is not an exaggeration to say that they are the best defensive team in the playoffs so far, the key is that they are not only excellent defensively, but also very good offensively, so far in the playoffs they are the best three-point efficient team, with a three-point shooting rate of 40.1% first in the league, and can hit 13.8 three-pointers per game The second in the league, because the excellent shooting also makes the opponent dare not shrink the defense, which also allows Jay and Alexander to get more opportunities to break through and kill, so the Thunder's offense is also difficult to defend.

In addition, their coach Daigneault's on-the-spot adjustment ability is also top-notch, in the first game against the Mavericks, the two sides played inextricably in the first quarter and a half, Doncic hit Dort's three fouls, Daigneault took the initiative to change the formation, he pinched Doncic, and released the opponent's bottom corner three-point shooter, as a result, Doncic was locked up, and their shooter did not seize the opportunity, and finally the Mavericks' offense was strangled to death.

Judging from the first game between the Mavericks and the Thunder, the quality of the Thunder's stars is no worse than that of the Mavericks, and the thickness of their lineup is better, maybe this round of the series Thunder will have the last laugh to reach the division finals, and even say that they want to hit the championship, because looking at their current momentum, the purpose is to rush to the championship, don't bully the poor teenagers, the Thunder Sanshao reached the finals at this age, and now they are not far behind the talent of the three less.

The last time the Thunder reached the second round of the playoffs was 16 years, when Duncan was still playing in the league, it can be said that they experienced a period of slump, and after being eliminated by Lillard in 19, the team had a change of mind, Wei Shao and George left one after another, which also gave Presti the opportunity to show his talents, and finally he used his operation and draft to win the current core lineup, it is worth mentioning that Alexander and Jewwill were traded by George.

Speaking of which, what do you have to say about the current Thunder? Welcome to leave a message to discuss.
