The Kings four-guard lineup challenges the Thunder, and Westbrook is no longer a teenager as he starts to face his old team again

The Sacramento Kings will go away to challenge the new championship Thunder. The biggest highlight of this game is that Westbrook once again represents the new team and returns to the arena of his old club, the Thunder. Seeing that many young players from the Thunder have already won the championship trophy and brought the highest honor ring, the former boy who played for many teams and failed to win the championship at the end of his career has many mixed feelings.

Holmgren has a truce in this campaign. The Thunder only has Harten on the inside. The Kings also used a lineup with one large and four small players. Westbrook was put into the starting lineup, partnering with DeRozan, LaVine and Schroeder. Westbrook, who returned to the starting lineup, showed no mercy against his old team. He scored 16 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists in 30 minutes, including 4 of 8 three-pointers from outside. He made consecutive hits in the opening game to help the Kings turn the tables.

As the Thunder, as the championship, even if two of the Big Three were unable to play, the single-core Alexander still showed the advantages of a top team. In the final quarter, he led the team to play an integrated offensive and defensive performance. He personally scored 31 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists to help the Thunder achieve a reversal, defeating the opponent 107:101 and winning 5 consecutive victories, firmly ranking first in the Western Conference.

The Kings' lineup on paper is not weak, but in the powerful Western Conference, their goal can only be to hit the playoffs, and there is still a certain gap between them and the championship. Westbrook's buzzer-beating addition before the start of the new season will not help the team bring a qualitative leap. However, as the former triple-double king and MVP, Westbrook can still stay in the NBA league, as long as he plays, he is full of passion.

Durant and Harden, who were once the Thunder's third young players, now both have maximum salaries and their teams are capable of competing for the championship. The new version of the three young players formed by their old club has also won the championship and will establish their dynasty in the future. Westbrook can only live and work with a basic salary, which is very sad.
