In the NBA regular season, the Thunder defeated the Clippers 126-107 on the road, starting the season with 8 wins and 0 losses.

After the game, freelance writer Zhang Jiawei commented on the game. The original text is as follows:

The Thunder have won eight consecutive games and the Clippers have lost two consecutive games.

The Clippers played high defense and actively switched defenses to compress Alexander's space. At the end of the first quarter, Alexander was flanked in the middle circle and surrounded Joe for a long shot: 4 assists in the first quarter.

In the third quarter, Alexander made three long-range shots, combining shooting, rushing and passing. He scored 18 points and 5 assists, breaking the Clippers' attack and allowing the Thunder to lead by 9 points.

Did not play in the fourth quarter: 30 points, 12 assists and 3 blocks. Seventh 30+ game in eight games this season.

And the 80th consecutive game with 20 points - the first person besides Chamberlain: stable.

There is also a stable person on the opposite side: As we all know, Harden had 32 consecutive games with 30+ points in his peak period. Today, he scored 12 points in a row in the opening game and beat the Thunder 12-2 by himself. Dortmund was shaken by Harden's unpredictable center of gravity.

But then, Caruso came up to demonstrate: He locked Harden's left foot and left hand; Harden responded well and broke through Caruso with his right hand for a layup, scoring the 20th point. However, the entire Thunder team followed suit: locking Harden's left foot and keeping it tighter.

Dortmund allowed Harden to act recklessly at the beginning, which gave him some space; Harden had time to shoot the ball with force, sink the ball to accumulate strength, and hit consecutive three-pointers. But after Caruso and Carson Wallace locked Harden's left foot, Harden could only force it or break through with his right hand: the former depends on luck, the latter gets into the crowd.

Originally, Harden scored 17 points in the first quarter and Alexander scored 18 points in the third quarter. It was back and forth, and there was still a fight, but at the beginning of the fourth quarter, something funny happened.

Alexander is not here, Aja Mitchell holds the ball, and the Thunder still has a routine: Aja breaks out, Harten and Caruso make a dream chasing + Curry-style three-pointer, and the Clippers are in chaos; in the next round, Aja makes up the backdoor, and the Clippers lose sight of it; after that, Cut was condescending and beat Bogdan from behind: the Thunder led by 15 points.

After Harden came off the court, the Clippers did not score for 4 minutes. Bogdan cut out to the top of the arc and had no chance to get the ball. In the end, the 37-year-old 216-centimeter giant Lopez broke through from the three-point line and faced the basket, and the ball was immediately copied.

On the sidelines, Alexander grinned from ear to ear, Harden's half-open mouth was exposed in his beard, and Coach Lu was cursing without knowing who he was cursing. Harten and Chet sent alley-oops to each other, and the point difference was completely wiped out.

Without the second-in-command Jerwei, and even with Alexander sitting, the Thunder still know how to play: Aja's ball-handling, Chet's face-to-the-basket position, Harten's dunking position, Caruso's snake oil, Jaylin's open shots, and Isiah Joe's long-range shot. Defense is even more important. As for the Clippers, Harden usually asks Zubac to instigate, and Leonard takes the lead alone. Today, Collins is back to his peak, and the Clippers can shoot well from long range, but in positional battles, Lopez relies on Lopez to face the basket with the ball: the second team was destroyed by the Thunder.

Today Lopez and Bogdan are the epitome of the Clippers in the last three quarters: they are still very smart and can make long shots, but the rhythm is a beat slower. When Alexander pulls the ball like water in front of Bogdan, when Harten and Chet move easily laterally to cover Lopez's space, it's like playing at double speed.

The Clippers made 19 turnovers and the Thunder scored 28 fast break points.

Before today, the Clippers were the second-slowest team in the league and the team with the second-most turnovers.

Perhaps the Clippers did not lack tacit cooperation and intelligence, but they were just a little slow: Alexander was able to find an open space in their double attack; the Thunder caught the ball when they moved; when the Thunder increased their speed, the Clippers were destroyed.

The average age of the Thunder is 25, and that of the Clippers is 32.

Boxing is afraid of young people.
