NBA playoffs G3, the Thunder defeated the Timberwolves 101-143, and the score was tied to 2-1. The reason why the Thunder lost in this game was that the whole team did not perform well on the offensive end. Especially for Alexander, he was completely lost. He made 4 of 13 shots in the game and only scored 14+6+4 mistakes. Such performance is obviously not enough. In addition, plus or negative values ​​are still the worst values ​​in the team, which is destroying the team in full swing. The reason why

plays so hard is because the Timberwolves' defensive strategy is very obvious. Because at the beginning, Gobert delayed limiting Alexander, and when Alexander broke through, they would double-team the three, which ultimately made it difficult for him to open up the situation on the offensive end. Even the Timberwolves were attacking in the middle of the game, which would naturally hinder Alexander's performance.

And when he was double-teamed, his choice was also a mess. He is the brain of the team and he can't maintain a firmness offensively. Often they break through halfway and then jump up to find teammates, which will cause the Timberwolves to easily fight back, and even the teammates have to play some difficult balls, which will naturally lead to the team's shooting percentage being very bad. In fact, as a core player, he has to take on important tasks in every round. If he really has no choice, he will shoot by himself. It is difficult to score when passing the ball to his teammates. The damage to the team will be huge.

Of course, Alexander himself also wants to play well. The problem now is that as long as the confrontation is big and his shooting is deformed, his shooting percentage will naturally decline. So Alexander will try his best to commit fouls, which is his only way out. Let's see if Alexander can give some response in the end. After maintaining the offensive end, if the shooting percentage can recover, the Thunder still has hope. After all, in the away game, it is impossible to give him many free throw opportunities, and at the same time, you need to be at a stable point when dealing with the ball.
