November 26.

With the Thunder and the Pistons' deal reached, news about the Thunder has increased significantly recently.

Among them, speculations about how much the Thunder will hope to make this year's playoffs has caused a lot of controversy on the Internet.

However, at the same time, what really made the Thunder's name stand high recently is also a crucial relationship with the two lists released by the league yesterday.

Yesterday, the league announced the best players in the East and West from the previous week, and also included the latest rookie rankings.

In both lists, they have a very big relationship with Thunder.

Among them, among the best players in the East and West last week announced by the league, the East was won by LeBron James of the Cavaliers.

Last week, James not only led the Cavaliers to a record of 3 wins and 0 losses, but also averaged 28.7 points, 7.6 rebounds and 8.1 assists per game in these three games.

It can be said that James' election can be said to live up to expectations, whether in terms of personal abilities or team performance.

In the West, last week's Player of the Week was won by Kevin Durant, the Thunder's star.

Last week, Durant led the Thunder to a record of 2 wins and 1 loss, and at the same time, he averaged 33.1 points, 5.7 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game.

Although there are too few games, the average score per game has a very large up and down fluctuation.

But Durant's personal scoring ability has been unanimously recognized by outside fans so far.

Even in the eyes of most people, Durant was too thin at this time, and his weakness in physical confrontation was simply his weakness.

However, his outstanding height and arm span and skills and speed that he should have at all are not the same height, making Durant very difficult to defend.

At least in the entire last week's personal score, there were only two players in the league who averaged more than 30 points per game.

The two players are Durant from the West and Wade from the East.

Although this does not prove that Wade and Durant are the two best scorers in the league at present, no matter what, Durant and Wade's scoring ability is absolutely unquestionable.

Even if you look at the overall data of this season, Durant can also contribute 28.1 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.1 assists so far.

As for the average of 28.1 points per game, it is second only to Wade and LeBron James, and is temporarily ranked third in the league's scoring list this season.

In addition, in the latest rookie rankings released by the NBA, the Thunder can be said to have received huge revenue this season.

Among them, among the top ten rookies in this year's class, there are 3 rookies from the Thunder.

And Westbrook, who was selected in the fourth pick in the first round, is second only to No. 1 pick Derek Ross, and is currently ranked second in the rookie rankings, overtaking Mayo and Beasley.

At the same time, Ibaka ranked fifth in the rookie rankings, Jordan Jr. ranked seventh, and Dragic ranked 11th.

The four players in front of Ibaka are Derek Ross of the Bulls, Westbrook of the Thunder, Mayo of the Grizzlies, and Beasley of the Heat.

It can be said that these four players have been expected by people when they first entered the league.

So Ibaka, who was selected in the end of the first round, was able to follow these players closely, which is enough to prove that his performance can be regarded as excellent.

Similarly, this is why the Thunder have been mentioned recently and the popularity of news in the outside world has been high.

After all, from the moment, the Thunder not only have top scorers in the league like Kevin Durant, but also have potential rookies like Westbrook and Ibaka.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Thunder at this moment is simply the most enviable thing for other teams in the league.

That is to have both the present and the future, especially after All-Star player Hamilton was traded to the Thunder...

November 27.

With the high expectations of Oxford fans, the Thunder will face the challenge of defending champion Celtics at home on this day.

For this game, local fans of Oxford City can be said to have been waiting for a long time.

After all, in a sense, this can be regarded as the first appearance of Hamilton and Avraro after being traded.

Of course, the most important thing is Hamilton. As for Avraro, basically no one cares about it...

No matter what, Hamilton is also an All-Star player, so many fans are still excited about Hamilton being able to join the Thunder.

Because anyone with a discerning eye can see that Hamilton's joining will definitely improve the overall strength of the Thunder.

You know, the Thunder are currently in the ranks of the Western Conference playoffs. Even if the season is not over halfway through, what will the team eventually become is still unknown.

But Hamilton's joining undoubtedly made local fans of Oxford feel more confident.

So Thunder fans have been waiting for Hamilton's debut game for a long time.

But what looks a little bad is that in this Hamilton debut game, the Thunder had to face a very strong opponent.

That is the Celtics who just won the league championship last season.

The Celtics' dominance in the past two seasons can definitely be said to be very strong.

Although after the team traded "Wolf King" Garnett last season, the entire Celtics ushered in doubt from many people outside the world.

Many people feel deeply dissatisfied with the Celtics' group behavior. After all, the stronger the Celtics' lineup, the more difficult it will be for other teams.

Especially as the Celtics' own rookie Rondo gradually rose, this undoubtedly changed the Celtics from a Big Three to a Big Four lineup this season.

As for last year's NBA Finals, the Celtics who traded for Garnett successfully defeated the Lakers with a big score of 4:2 and won the NBA championship in the 2007-08 season.

Pierce was even elected to the finals of last season MVP.

It may also be related to the MVP that won the finals last season, so Paul Pierce is obviously a little bored this season.

Before the new season begins, I am urging the sky, the earth and the air. It can be said that I am urging the little emperor in the east and kicking the black mamba in the west.

He was quite tempted to not take anyone seriously, and even compared himself with Kobe, James and others in the same position.

It seems that Pierce has gradually begun to take the nickname "Truth", especially when he won the MVP in the finals, he obviously wants to go to heaven!!

Yang Fan has always had some questions about this. He really wanted to say the previous sentence to Pierce in front of him:

"Can we have some face?"
