Winning three consecutive victories! The defending champion made a strong attack, Alexander hit 30+4+5: MVP is too stable

Alexander finally didn’t need to work overtime, but clocked out early. On October 26, the Thunder defeated the Hawks 117-100 in an away game and won three consecutive games. Although second-in-command Jaylen Williams was absent due to a wrist injury, Alexander led the defending champions to a steady start, defeating the Rockets, Pacers and Hawks in succession.

As a double MVP, Alexander maintained his excellent form. He defeated the Rockets in double overtime in the first game and scored 35 points, and scored consecutive points at critical moments. Alexander was even more powerful in the second game, scoring 55 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists, setting a career high in scoring in a single game. He also played double overtime.

In this game against the Hawks, Alexander enjoyed the treatment of getting off work early. He only played three quarters and played a total of 29 minutes. He made 12 of 17 shots, 2 of 6 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored 30 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. For Alexander, scoring 30+ is as easy as eating and drinking.

Alexander's condition is still so stable, his fighting spirit is still so strong, and he has not slackened off because of winning a championship ring and becoming a double MVP. Real kings constantly improve themselves. After climbing a peak, they will want to climb a higher mountain. Alexander did not rest on his past glory, he was still pursuing victory with all his strength. There is no doubt that Alexander is a popular candidate for the scoring title and MVP this season.

In this battle, the Thunder only led the Eagles by 5 points, 60-55, in the first half. In the third quarter, Alexander had a big explosion, leading the team to a score of 39-25, setting up a victory for the Thunder. Alexander scored two iconic pull-up mid-range shots at the beginning of the third quarter. The second one also caused a foul on Trae Young's hitter and made an extra free throw.

Alexander then assisted Holmgren to hit a three-pointer. He alone instigated the Thunder's 8-0 offensive climax. Alexander assisted Dort for another three-pointer. With 6 minutes and 59 seconds left in the third quarter, Alexander also scored a three-pointer, followed by a mid-range shot. Under Alexander's leadership, the Thunder blossomed more. With 4 minutes and 10 seconds left in the third quarter, Alexander broke through and scored a layup, causing a foul and making two free throws. With 1 minute and 10 seconds left in the third quarter, Alexander scored a three-pointer, then made a steal and assisted Mitchell in making a three-pointer.

Alexander scored 17 points in the third quarter, plus he assisted Holmgren, Dort and Mitchell to score a three-pointer each. He scored by himself and assisted his teammates in this quarter, totaling 26 points, 1 point more than the 25 points the Eagles scored in the third quarter. It can be said that Alexander crushed the entire Eagles team in this quarter.

Alexander took a rest after the third quarter and did not play again in the final quarter. Alexander's deterrent power was fully demonstrated in this battle. Not only is he a super scorer, he can also create offensive opportunities for his teammates. Alexander's ability to win the championship last season was not achieved by working alone. His teammates around him also get their chance to shine.

In this battle, Holmgren recovered, contributing 31 points, 12 rebounds, 1 assist, 3 steals and 1 block, and made 6 of 8 three-pointers. With Jaylen Williams recovering from injury, the Thunder desperately need Holmgren to step up and score. Hartenstein contributed 14 points and 10 rebounds. Guard Ajay Mitchell has become a surprise for the Thunder this season. He scored 14 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals on the bench without making a single mistake. The No. 38 pick in 2024 scored 16 points, 26 points and 14 points respectively in the first three games of the new season. He is already an important offensive firepower on the Thunder bench.

Alexander was tired after playing double overtime in the first two games of the new season. The team is currently experiencing a serious wave of injuries, with 6 players currently on the injury list. Jaylen Williams is out with a wrist injury and Caruso is out with a concussion. Isaiah Joe and Kenrich Williams are both out with knee injuries. Topic had testicular surgery and was out. Rookie Thomas Sauber is out for the season with a knee injury.

You must know that Jaylen Williams, Caruso, Isaiah Joe and Kenrich Williams are all regular rotation players for the Thunder. Topic is also considered to be able to enter the rotation in the new season. So as long as he gets through this difficult period, Alexander's burden will be much lighter. The Thunder's lineup is very deep and they are worthy of being the number one favorite to win the championship this season.
