The team defeated the underdog Raptors in their last game and won their first victory of the season. Next, let’s talk about the game process first, and then talk about the players’ performance.

Thick Eyebrow tried his best

After talking about the game process, let's talk about the players' performance. After defeating the Raptors in the last game, I thought Kidd would make changes and let Russell enter the starting partner inside the team. But he did not do this, but chose to continue to believe in the five major players. Now that the Rockets have given up on the five major players, the Mavericks are still so persistent. Their offense is not smooth to the naked eye.

Flagg, the new No. 1 pick, was locked in this game. He scored 2 points and 2 rebounds on 1 of 10 shots. As the team's point guard, he had 0 assists in the game. Kidd asked him to play a position he is not suitable for. It is really difficult for this No. 1 pick. I think it is better to let him be himself. After all, if he continues to play like this, Flagg will lose confidence, and the team has no record, and there may be problems in the locker room. If the game continues like this, Edgecombe has a greater chance of winning the No. 1 pick than Flagg.

In this campaign, Russell made 2 of 13 shots and scored 7 points, 1 rebound, 9 assists and 1 block. Facing the high-intensity defense, his offense and defense were still stretched, but he was able to connect the team. This was the reason why the Mavericks counterattacked in the fourth quarter. When Doncic was there in the past, the Mavericks were the Thunder's main sufferer. They relied on the defense of the forwards and inside, and the Mavericks' singles made the Thunder miserable. Now facing the Thunder, they no longer have such an advantage, and Harrison's operation is really bad!

The Thunder are blooming more

In this campaign, Alexander made 10 of 21 shots and scored 23 points, 4 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 steal. Alexander only had 2 free throws in this campaign, and his offense was also hampered. Impact. Although he scored 13 points on 6-of-7 shooting in the third quarter, showing the strength of the league's top five, the lack of free throws in the final quarter also affected his offense. If his three-pointers are more accurate, coupled with the blessing of free throws, he may be able to shake Jokic's position.

Chet scored 18 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks on 6-of-10 shooting. Chet's performance this season is indeed more stable than before. In the past, Chet couldn't handle the flexibility of the big eyebrows. Now, Chet can play his own characteristics in the face of thick eyebrows, and his influence on the defensive end is also full. It is estimated that Jay Wei should feel the pressure now, because the Thunder now not only has Chet, they also have Ajay Mitchell.

In this campaign, Ajay Mitchell scored 17 points, 6 rebounds and 1 assist on 7 of 14 shots. In the absence of Jaywe, Mitchell became the core of the team's second team and led the team forward. In addition to this game, he has been He has scored 14+ points in four consecutive games and averaged 18.7 points and 4.3 assists in the past three games. If he continues like this, he will be competing for the best sixth man. He was only the No. 8 pick in the second round in 2024. The Thunder's vision is great. This campaign can be said to have completely destroyed the Mavericks' second place.
