MVP is stable! Alexander scored 31 points and set multiple records, leading the team to beat the Timberwolves by 26 points

On May 21, the NBA Western Conference Finals started. The young Thunder beat the Timberwolves 114-88 at home and started the series well. The star Alexander continued his hot state and led the team to a 26-point victory with his all-round performance.

The biggest highlight of this game is Alexander, the Thunder core. The 25-year-old guard made 10 of 27 shots in the game, scoring 31 points, 5 rebounds, 9 assists and 3 steals. During the game, he performed signature mid-range shots many times, and even used ghost steals to disturb the Timberwolves' peace. Its plus or negative value of +22 was the top scorer in the game and became the team's number one hero to win.

What's more amazing is that Alexander unlocked two team history records: he became the first Thunder player to score 30+ in the Western Conference Finals after Durant in 2016; at the same time, he achieved 30+ feats in four consecutive games in the playoffs, just one step away from the 5-game record he maintained in his team history. In this playoffs, Alexander has scored 30 points + 5 assists for the 7th time, setting a record in the Thunder team's history.

Another new star, Jiewei, also stole the spotlight. The 21-year-old young player contributed 19 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 steals, and what is even more rare is 0 mistakes in the game. He has thus become the youngest player in NBA playoff history "15+5+5 steals and 0 turnovers ".

According to the schedule, the second game between the two sides will continue to be held at the Thunder the morning after tomorrow. Can this young army, whose average age is 3 years younger than the Timberwolves, continue to stage a youth storm? Let's wait and see.
