7:49am, 20 May 2025Basketball

The Western Conference tiebreak battle in the early morning finally came to an end. There are sadness and regrets, and more of expectations for the future. As the first record in the regular season, the Thunder, facing the unyielding Nuggets, used the invincible "Youth Storm" to make this former champion team withdrawal. As a veteran strong team, the Nuggets' last "stubbornness" fell down. At this point, all the former strong teams in the league have left the game.

The Suns, Lakers, Clippers, Mavericks, Warriors, and Nuggets were all down. James, Curry, Harden, Durant, Jokic, Leonard, Doncic, Tatum, Antetokounmpo suddenly fell on the stage of the NBA finals, which made the fans feel helpless and sad. At the same time, there are new generation faces including Alexander, Edwards, Halliburton, Brunson.......... I can't help but sigh that a new era in the league has arrived and the older generation of superstars have quietly left the market. A new generation replaces old people. The cruelty of competitive sports is really unreliable. After 25 years of precipitation and waiting, the Eastern Knicks finally ushered in their own Eastern Conference Finals, and the Western Conference Thunder also took 9 years to return to the stage of the Western Conference Finals. This is the beginning of a new era. Young superstars are writing about their own new era with their youth and superb football skills. The situation of the alliance's strong west and weak east still seems to have not changed. The strong dialogue between the Thunder and the Timberwolves in the Western Conference Finals is also a proof of the battle between the young Western superstars for the first person. Both teams are full of vitality. Whether it is the Timberwolves' Edwards' skill over the heroes or the Thunder's new MVP Alexander's leading role? This will surely be a wonderful and powerful dialogue. The peak showdown between the two new generation stars Edwards and Alexander will surely sparkle and excitement. The two teams are basically in line with each other in terms of position.

point guard Alexander VS Conley, as the new MVP of this season, can be said to have completely crushed the 37-year-old Conley. Alexander can completely "explode" Old Conley on both ends of the offense and defense. Thunder has an overwhelming advantage in this position.

Quotel Dort V Edwards as Jordan successor Edwards has explosive physical fitness and strong ball-holding offense and independent scoring ability. This will cause a huge impact on the Thunder's defense line. Dort defends fiercely. But it's still much worse than Edwards. The Timberwolves can completely gain the upper hand in this position.

Small forward Jaylen Williams vs. McDaniels Jayway has completely evolved into the second leader of the Thunder this season. The transformation and upgrading of both offense and defense performed well. The most commendable thing is its extremely stable performance. At critical moments, one blow is often fatal. McDaniels has a strong physical fitness and a fierce defense. This season has been completely upgraded after baptism in the playoffs. Compared to Jewe, McDaniels lacks sufficient stability and is easily lost at critical moments. Thunder has a slight advantage in this position.

Power forward Holmegren vs Randall This season, Holmegren has performed as the best space power forward in the league. Become the third leader of the Oklahoma City Thunder. Despite his tall figure, Homgren has a balanced offense and defense, especially the inside defense coverage, which has become a powerful barrier for the Thunder's inside. Since Randall was traded to the Timberwolves, he has exploded with even greater abilities. Excellent physical fitness and very tough playing style. Strong frame protection and support capabilities. When the team cannot attack, it often plays a role in attacking. In this position, the two teams tied with half a pound against eight.

Center Harten VS Gobert Harten has performed very well as a blue-collar center since coming to the Thunder. Strong defense, strong frame protection and rebounding. At the same time, the finishing ability at the basket is also very outstanding. As a blue-collar ceiling-level center, Gobert has an absolute height advantage and has won the honor of the best defensive player many times. The basket protection area is large and the secondary rebounding offensive ability is very strong. The Timberwolves have a certain advantage in this position.

And the substitutes of the two teams are full of talent! Thunder Wiggins, Caruso, Wallace, and Joe all have their own skills. In particular, Caruso's offense and defense strength is extremely terrifying. The game against the Nuggets was Caruso's defense that greatly reduced Jokic's skills. The Timberwolves are not much more terrifying, with Reed, Divinchenzo and Walker both offense and defense. The two teams in the substitute lineup are also incomparable.

In short, this will be a wonderful peak showdown for the new generation of the NBA! It is optimistic that the Thunder, who has the new MVP of Alexander, will win the final victory! Otherwise, it would be a complete blow to the face of Xiao Hua, the boss of the alliance! The schedule of the Western Conference Finals is also officially released and will officially start the day after tomorrow. The details are as follows (all times are, home teams are behind):
