[Western Final Mystery: Dual-core Stealth Night, Thunder used wolf pack tactics to tear apart Minnesota fairy tales]

When the final whistle sounded, the score on the large screen of the target center dome was frozen at 128-126. Two sets of dazzling data comparisons are scrolling below the scoreboard: Alexander 40 points vs Edwards + Randall 16 points - This seemingly fierce offensive battle actually hides a tactical revolution in contemporary basketball.

The Thunder's awakening formula

After the defeat of G3, Thunder coach Dagenut wrote three keywords on the locker room whiteboard:

1. Rhythm control (scoring 24-12 in this fast break)

2. Misplacement punishment (using pick-and-roll to create 53 misaligned singles)

3. Psychological game (making 7 mistakes from the opponent in the first quarter)

Jaylen Williams's opening three-pointer was like a tactical starting gun. The second in command of G3 who scored only 8 points, used his strong performance of 10 points and 3 assists in the first quarter to tear open the Timberwolves' defense line. When the defensive center of gravity was forced to tilt, the Thunder quietly started "Alexander Time" - the Canadian super giant's six breakthroughs in the first quarter were all converted into scores or assists, and the real shooting rate soared to 92.3%.

The mystery of the disappearance of the Wolf King

Edwards' sudden invisibility is the biggest unsolved case in the series:

- Two shots in the halftime hit a new playoff career low

- The number of breakthroughs plummeted from 14 of G3 to 6

- The key points in the fourth quarter were scored in one sports game

The player movement chart from the technical station showed that 71% of Huazi's offensive rounds chose to wander outside the three-point line in this game, which was in sharp contrast to his regular attack hot zone. What's even more strange is that when McDaniels hit a three-pointer, the camera captured Edwards' eyes closed on the bench. The tragic song of the common people's uprising

Timberwolves character player wrote a magnificent counterattack chapter:

- Walker scored 28 points (playoff career high)

- Divinchenzo scored 7 three-pointers to tie the team's history record

- Reed scored 11 points in the last quarter, and scored 100% of the shooting percentage in the last quarter. This civilian army created three historical data:

1. The first team with a 6-player scored in double digits since 2002

2. Substitutes scored 56-23 to crush the Thunder

3. Non-core players contributed 82 points, accounting for 65%

The new king's multiverse

Alexander is writing his own script of dominance:

- Overtake Durant in 30+ games in the playoffs (9 games)

- Key ball shooting percentage 61.3% League No. 1 - This game created 37 points through pick-and-roll. When the game entered the decisive moment, the 25-year-old point guard turned into a tactical kaleidoscope:

Offensive selection distribution:

Emergency stop mid-range shot 44%

Breakthrough pass 33%

Foul 23%

In the last 90 seconds, his expression management when he walked to the free throw line 6 times was described by ESPN commentary as "a more colder focus than Canadian winter".

Technical secret battle: The game behind the data

1. Thunder's defensive trap: Set up 17 fake assisted defenses against Edwards, forcing his pass rate to 68%

2. Space Magic: Homegren created 53-point offensive space

3. Error conversion: Using the Timberwolves 18 mistakes to get 29 points, and the fast break score accounts for 41%

Decisive Apocalypse

When the Thunder's bench positive and negative values ​​are collectively red, when the Timberwolves' double-core score is less than Alexander's digits, this competition has exceeded the scope of basketball game - this is the victory of the system basketball against superstar basketball, a crush on the dependence of deep rotation on the core, and a declaration of intergenerational changes in basketball philosophy.

At the Chesapeake Energy Arena on May 29, what awaits the Timberwolves is not only a life-and-death battle, but also the ultimate defense of the basketball concept: When the new generation of super giants will dominate the game in a team manner, is the traditional dual-core-driven championship model outdated?
