On May 10, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs continued, and today the Thunder lost 110-119 to the Mavericks, and the score of the two sides came to 1-1. Among the four Thunder Youngsters in this game, only Alexander's performance was satisfactory.

Alexander shot 13 of 24 from the field, 1 of 3 three-pointers got 33 points, 12 rebounds and 8 assists, although the data is very good, but the Mavericks achieved their goal, they didn't stretch out their hands when defending Alexander in this game, although this made Alexander score more easily, but it reduced the damage of his foul to the Mavericks, Alexander only made 6 free throws in this game, so Alexander can't beat the Mavericks.

Jayway's impact was still very good, and he shot 7-of-17 from the field, 2-of-4 from three-point range and got 20 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, but the forward line formed by him and Giddey couldn't match the opponent's wing, they couldn't help Chet protect the rebound, and because of their lack of height and confrontation, they couldn't limit the opponent's attack. Holmgren was also blown up by Gafford because of the confrontation, and Holmgren shot 4 of 12 from the field, and 1 of 6 from three-point range, with 11 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists.

And this is the disadvantage of the Thunder today, although they are very talented, athleticism is also very good, but in the case of confrontation and height loss, the team is also difficult to take advantage, this game Washington seized the problem of Giddey's defense, 11 of 18 shots, 7 of 11 three-pointers got 29 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, and also got 2 frontcourt rebounds.

Of course, this can't be all blamed on Giddey, because they don't have a suitable striker at all, Giddey originally played the No. 1 position, but because the team lacked a striker, he was 2.03 meters tall so he became the team's No. 3 position, and even sometimes played the No. 4 position, but after all, he was born as a defender, and his confrontation ability is very limited, so he can't prevent it. Giddey finished with 8 points and 2 rebounds on 3-of-6 shooting in this game.

If you look at the data alone, his reputation as a four-young man is indeed a little unreasonable, but Giddey only took 11 minutes to score these points, not because of injuries or other things that only played for so long, but because he was abandoned, he was also abandoned in the last game against the Mavericks, playing 16 minutes to score 2 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, of course, the Thunder abandoned him can also be understood, the team lost 27 points in the past two games when he was on the court.

The Thunder coach reduced his use in order to increase the team's rebounding protection and defense, for which Dagneault often went to the twin towers, but the effect was not good to be honest, because on the twin towers, the opponent got more open three-point opportunities, and the Mavericks shot 18 of 37 from three-point range, shooting a whopping 48.6%. This is also the way that the Thunder has no choice, if not, they will be more passive.

Giddey was abandoned for two reasons, the first is that we say he can't defend, and the second is that his function conflicts with Alexander, Giddey was a big point guard when he participated in the draft, he is a big core with the ball, but because the offensive ability is not as good as Alexander, he is now in the forward position, maybe he will not suffer a loss when he plays the No. 1 position, but all things considered, Daigneault still believes in Alexander.

So far in the playoffs, Giddey has averaged 10 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game, shooting 46% from the field, 41% from three-point range, and can hit 1.5 three-pointers per game.

Previously, the American media TA had predicted that the players that the teams might trade in the offseason, the Lakers are Shuila, and the Thunder is Giddey, the reason why they will trade Giddey, on the one hand, is that Giddey is facing an early contract extension in the offseason, and the Thunder should seize his value to trade a qualified forward player to make up for the team's shortcomings, so that the Thunder can go far in the playoffs, and this season's Thunder may be able to cross the Mavericks, but it is almost no fun to rush out of the West, after all, their lineup is deformed.

The second aspect is the conflict between Giddey and Alexander's position, it is useless to keep him, and even the second position has Jayway, in this case Giddey has no position, he has been sacrificing the ball this season and playing very aggrieved, he has the ability but there is still a gap compared to the other three, so he is also very aggrieved, if the Thunder will not give up on him in the offseason, I think he may also choose to force the palace to leave.

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