Can Alexander create a miracle that the third young master of Thunder did not create back then? I don’t think so!

In terms of the team's paper strength, the Thunder's regular season winning rate is 82.9% first in the league, the Pacers' regular season winning rate is 61% and the winning rate is only sixth in the league. Both teams in the regular season win against the Thunder, and the Thunder's advantage is obvious.

From the perspective of the strength of the star, Alexander is the regular season MVP+ scoring leader, averaging 32.7 points, 6.4 assists and 1.7 steals per game, while Halliburton averaged only 18.6 points, 9.2 assists and 1.4 steals per game in the regular season. Alexander has a clear advantage in scoring and defense. Halliburton contributed more in connecting the team, but in terms of playoff performance, Halliburton scored higher than the regular season score and assists, while Alexander scored less in the face of high-pressure defense, but his overall strength was still stronger.

In addition to being the stars, there are 6 players with double-digit scores per game. Jaylen Williams, as the second in charge, can average 21.6 points per game, Homgren has 15 points and 8 rebounds, and Dolte + Caruso on the defensive end. He is very good at defending the opponent's core players. The key is that they are younger, have better physical strength, and can maintain rotation of about 8 people in the playoffs, which can be fully matched with the Pacers.

The Pacers actually have the highest score in the team, Siakam, who averaged 20.2 points and 6.9 rebounds per game. In addition, Matherine and Turner both averaged more than 10 points per game.

The Thunder have both good offense and defense, and the Pacers team is the first, but why do you think the Thunder may not win? It is mainly two aspects: outside offense and coaching level tactics. During the Thunder's advance to the finals, the Nuggets brought the biggest resistance to the Thunder. The reason is that the Nuggets have the NBA killer, Jokic. In addition, Jokic connects the team. As long as the Nuggets' three-point shooting percentage exceeds 40%, the Thunder may not be able to beat it. The Pacers' outside shooting percentage is much better than the Nuggets. They have 40.1% of the three-point shooting percentage in the league so far! Secondly, Pacers coach Carlisle's tactical arrangement is also at its peak. If the Pacers can pinch Alexander on the offensive end, relying on the connection between team basketball and Halliburton and hit the three-pointer that hits, the Pacers may not have no chance. The NBA itself is a place to create miracles!

So who do you think will win the final championship trophy?
