Alexander made 1 of 8 shots in the last quarter and made 0 overtime, but he still laughed and left after the game

In the third game of the Western Conference Semi-Finals, the Thunder and the Nuggets are destined to be an unforgettable battle in the playoffs this season. In the end, the Thunder lost to the Nuggets 104-113 and fell behind 1-2 in the series. The focus of this game undoubtedly fell on Thunder star Shay Kyrgyz Alexander. He contributed 18 points, 13 rebounds and 7 assists in the game. His data seemed beautiful, but his sluggish performance in the fourth quarter and overtime became the last straw that broke the Thunder. He seemed to have transformed into a lone hero and was unable to turn things around at a critical moment, which was a pity.

Alexander once made a key three-pointer in the fourth quarter, igniting the hope of Thunder fans. But then, he missed seven consecutive shots, and failed to win overtime. This was a huge contrast with his performance in the first three quarters, which made people have to think deeply: Is this the result of the Nuggets' tight defense, or is it caused by Alexander's own decline? Perhaps both. The Nuggets' joint defense strategy against Alexander is undoubtedly very successful, effectively limiting his breakthrough and scoring. But at the same time, we cannot ignore Alexander's own ability to handle balls and decisiveness at critical moments. The offensive efficiency of the entire Thunder team is also worrying. He made only 9 of 35 three-pointers in the game, and his shooting percentage was astonishing. Is there any problem with the team's offensive strategy? When facing the Nuggets' strict defense, can the Thunder find a more effective offensive method to break the deadlock? This is not just a problem for Alexander alone, but a place that requires serious reflection and improvement for the whole team. Perhaps, only bolder tactical attempts and more decisive choices can help Thunder get out of the predicament.

Alexander still smiled after the game despite the team's defeat and said that he would continue to work hard, which gave us a positive and optimistic attitude. This courage and determination to face failure is undoubtedly precious. Just as he responded to the fans' ridicule after the game, he proved with practical actions that he would not be defeated by temporary failure, and this is a spiritual pillar that the team needs. The

series is not over yet, and the Thunder still has a chance. They need to learn from this defeat, improve offensive strategies, strengthen teamwork, and improve overall shooting percentage. More importantly, they need to maintain morale, firm beliefs, and meet the challenges that follow with a positive attitude. Let's wait and see if this young Thunder team can stage a Jedi counterattack in the next game and create their own miracle!
