Why can the Thunder rise so quickly?

was eliminated in the playoffs in 23, but then he stepped forward one step a year. He won the first place in the Western Conference last year and passed one round of the playoffs. This year, not only did he improve his regular season record to the league first, but he also reached the finals.

does not deny that the league has a favorable element, but I think that even if it is not, it is a fact that the Grizzlies are given free in the playoffs, and it is a fact that the Nuggets and Thunder have the advantage in this series of games. Even if the referee doesn't help me, I think the Timberwolves can win at most two games. Even if the referee does not help, his leadership temperament and ability to maintain the lower limit are impossible for the referee to intervene. Have you ever thought about why Xiao Hua helped SGA? Because SGA is so human and worldly, he can answer the questions in the media interview session. Xiao Hua saw that this child is worthy of praise, unlike Morant who was so proud of it, so he took out his gun twice.

Is the reason for the rise of Thunder just because of the SGA obtained from trading 6 years ago? It definitely goes beyond that, the Thunder Draft's vision continued its level more than ten years ago. 13 years ago, the Thunder Third Young Master was the answer to the Thunder's advance to the finals. After 13 years, they chose the new Thunder Third Young Master - SGA Javier and Homgren. In addition, Carson Wallace is the second year of the rookie and was also selected by the Thunder. Among the main players, Dort was out of the draft, but the Thunder took a fancy to him.

The puzzle obtained through the trade back then, Kendrick Perkins is very similar to the current Harten and Caruso. Both discovered problems through the previous playoffs and strengthened them during the offseason. Harten's arrival solved the problem of No. 4 exposed by the Thunder's playoffs last year, and Caruso became the Thunder's universal puzzle for the defensive end.

Summary of the Thunder's talented talent in drafting: they can always select players who can rely on in high-end games through drafts, and then select them to the same team to make them stunning the entire league together. Please don’t underestimate cohesion. The Thunder team’s main focus on a “youth storm” and “vibrant” cohesion is the key to their ability to pass the gold digs and kill wolves.

In contrast, the Thunder lacks talent points in trading reinforcement, but they have also learned to be smart in the past two years. Since I am not good at trading reinforcement, I will make my trading targeted. Although Harten and Caruso, who have traded this season, cannot count on offensively at critical moments, the defensive end has held the lower limit for the team.

If the Thunder wins the championship this year, I can only say that they have caught up with the good times, caught up with the era when Xiao Hua likes to play scripts and sets up a more stringent luxury tax penalty system that makes the winning team unable to maintain their strength. Otherwise, this year's Thunder will not be able to pass the Nuggets level, and it is even more impossible to get a better chance to win the championship than the third young master of the Thunder 13 years ago. Durant, Westbrook, Harden met the Heat, which was at its peak, and this year's Thunder's opponent, Pacers, seemed to be easier to play.

Finally, I think Jaylen Williams is very good. He will not play worse than SGA after practicing for two or three years. Will there be any conflict with SGA's playing style at that time be a question that needs to be discussed. Will Presty see this and trade him? It is possible, after all, the punishment for luxury tax is too severe.
