After watching the first half, the barrage on the screen was full of complaints about the Thunder's body whistle...

In particular, Alexander played basketball like Jackie Chan playing drunken fist. When he got to the inside, he was tilted, one whistle after another!

In fact, in the first quarter of the game, the referee did make a bit too much. Alexander alone had to get 7 free throws, while the Timberwolves had only 2 times.

In the second quarter, Alexander continued to test the referee's standards, but as a result, he only scored 2 free throws.

The game entered the second half, and Alexander quickly adjusted his playing style and no longer deliberately committed fouls every round.

instead choose to be more patient and find a breakthrough space and get a higher chance to hit the basket.

At the same time, after attracting double teams, he was able to pass the ball to his teammates in time to open. In this game, Alexander made 3 of 12 shots in the first half, only scored 11 points, 7 of 15 shots in the second half, and scored 21 points. At the same time, he also sent 9 assists and 3 steals in the whole game!

In addition, the most important thing for the Thunder to defeat the Timberwolves is its suffocating defense, which has sent 13 steals throughout the game, forcing the opponent to make 17 mistakes!

Old Liu predicted that the Thunder 4-1 gentleman swept the Timberwolves, after all, the two teams are no longer in the same level!
