15 points + 18 points + 14 points, locked in a super maximum salary of 370 million! The new NBA king ascended the throne, but the league made a mistake

This season's NBA playoffs reached the finals. In the first two games, the Thunder and the Pacers tied 1-1. Although the Pacers got a home advantage, the Pacers led by less than 2 minutes in the 96 minutes of the two games, which also reflects the real level gap between the two teams. Judging from the predictions given by the US media "BR", the Thunder's probability of winning the championship has exceeded 90%. There are 23 experts from the US media ESPN, 20 of which are optimistic about the Thunder's winning championship. From the Pacers' perspective, the biggest problem for the team is the lack of outstanding scoring points. In the first two games of the finals, the Pacers had 6 and 7 players in double digits, but no one scored and could break through 20 points. It is good that everyone is a soldier, but if there is no super scorer to put the team, the lower limit will be relatively low.

For the Thunder, after the team eliminated the Nuggets from the Western Conference Semi-Finals, it seemed like a change of a team, especially the core Alexander, who averaged 32.7 points per game since the Western Conference Finals! In the first two games of the finals, Alexander scored 38 points + 34 points respectively, scoring 72 points in the two games, which also set a new record for the scoring of the first two finals of the NBA career! In addition, Alexander has won 30+ in 13 playoffs this season, with the most since Antetokounmpo in 21 years! Alexander also became the fourth player in NBA history to score at least 3,000 points in the regular season + playoffs in one year, second only to Durant, O'Neal and Jordan! There is no doubt that Alexander has been getting closer and closer from winning the regular season MVP to being selected for the Best Team, and then to the Western Conference Finals MVP.

Perhaps this season is the moment to witness Alexander's new ascend the throne. With James + Durant + Curry getting old, the league always needs someone to carry the banner and become a new storefront. Alexander, who is less than 27 years old, is naturally the best choice. That starts with three data. This year's playoff Thunder played a total of 18 games. Alexander scored 30 points in 13 games, and scored between 20-30 points in two games, namely 27 points in the Grizzlies G2 and 25 points in the Nuggets G4. There are 3 games left, with scores below 20 points, respectively, 4 of 13 shots in the first round of G1 and 15 points in the Grizzlies G3 in the second round, 7 of 22 shots in one game, and 18 points in the Western Conference Finals G3. The Thunder lost 42 points, and Alexander scored 14 points in 4 of 13 shots.

In the words of US media, Alexander's performance in the playoffs has proved that he is the first player in the league this season, with a stable contribution of 30+. In addition, he has averaging 9.3 free throws per game. Especially after the G1 game in the Western Conference Finals, the controversy over Alexander's re-inflict is getting smaller and smaller, but the opponent's confrontation with him is getting bigger and bigger. In addition, Alexander locked in a 4-year, 296 million super maximum salary this summer. From the 27-28 season, his salary will be: 65.68 million + 70.94 million + 76.19 million + 81.45 million US dollars respectively. Including the remaining contracts, there are two years left: 38.33 million + 40.81 million US dollars respectively, with a total of 373 million super maximum salary for 6 years. He will become the first 80 million gentleman in NBA history! He should take over James, Durant and Curry in terms of emotion, reason, public or private.

But the alliance still made a mistake! Starting from two small details, according to US media, the ratings plummeted in the first two games of this year's finals. Fans and media prefer superstars like Jam Duku. President Xiao Hua even bluntly stated that the league needs to change the old and old, and Jam Duku is already old. But the two teams in the finals, the Pacers and the Thunder, ranked 23rd in the league and 26th in the league, even worse than the Spurs, Mavericks and the Heat. Both young men, Alexander and Halliburton, have indeed created various miracles in the playoffs, one is in the data and the other is in various finals, especially Halliburton. The playoff WPA (real victory contribution value at critical moments) is 2.48, which is already the highest in history! The game led by the two new stars will not cause too much discussion, because there are no older generation stars as stepping stones. The Lakers led by James were eliminated by the Timberwolves, and the Warriors were injured due to Curry's hamstring; the Suns were even more pitiful and could not even get the playoff qualification! The only old-fashioned Celtic family in the East was knocked down by the Knicks. Secondly, if Halliburton is the villain who grew up against the enemy without caring about the alliance, then Alexander enjoyed the treatment of the first person before he ascended the throne, as if everything was natural, and the process of promoting growth of the alliance was not desirable. To give a few simple examples, the Thunder narrowly defeated the Clippers in the regular season, and Alexander made a foul and the referee refused to swear, and the referee gave the Thunder a victory.

and the Western Conference Final G1 match. Alexander made 10 of 27 shots in the game, but got 14 free throws, and at least 8 of them were the opponent's normal playoff defensive action, the referee blew the whistle, and Alexander brought his own golden bell cover to protect him. The three aging super giants also have their own shortcomings. For example, James has offense but no defense at the end of his career, Durant frequently changes teams, and the upper limit of the team is not enough; Curry relies on the system, etc., but there is no league appearance, and his playing style is controversial, relying on free throws and fouls. No matter who wins the championship this season, Alexander still has a long way to go.
