Alexander hit back at outside criticism: When I laughed, they said I was making a fool of myself. After losing G3, I laughed and advanced to 3 wins in 4 games.

On May 20, the NBA playoffs continued. In yesterday's Western Conference semi-final tiebreak, the Thunder defeated the Nuggets 125-93 at home and advanced to the Western Conference Finals with a total score of 4-3. Thunder star Alexander updated social media and hit back at criticism from outside.

Alexander posted photos of himself on and off the court in the semi-finals and wrote: "When I smiled, they thought I was making a fuss! (They thought I was whyling when I was smiling)"

Alexander said this because of the series G3. In this game, Alexander performed very poorly. He only made one shot in the final quarter and did not take any action in overtime. The Thunder lost the good game and lost to the Nuggets in overtime, falling behind 1-2. When he left the game at the end of the game, Alexander laughed meaningfully at the camera, which led to a lot of criticism. However, since Alexander left with a smile after losing overtime in G3, the Thunder have won 3 games in four games and advanced to the Western Conference Finals.

In the entire series, Alexander averaged 37.6 minutes per game, scoring 29.7 points, 6.4 rebounds, 6.6 assists, 1.6 steals, 0.6 blocks; his shooting percentage was 52.9%, his three-point shooting percentage was 33.3%, and his free throws were 82.5%. His plus or negative values ​​in the second round were +69, not only ranking first among the two teams, but also the first among all the players in the semi-finals of the four groups. In addition, in the tiebreak game, 12 of 19 shots on the offensive end, 3 of 4 three-pointers, and 8 of 9 free throws scored 35 points, and the defensive end restricted the Nuggets from 2 of 14 shots, including 16 of 6 of 3-pointers. He became the second player in the Thunder's history to score 35 points in tiebreak, the last one was Durant scored 39 points in 2011.

Although there is a lot of controversy outside, Alexander's teammates know his importance. Homgren praised this: "Alexander is the type of player who puts winning the series first and winning with the team first. He enjoys fighting side by side with us, and we value that too. He will not be lost in personal honor, and victory is the core. He firmly believes that as long as he focuses on what he should do to win, everything else will come naturally. I can't endorse him, nor can he assert his specific thoughts, but that's how I witnessed him treating this series. Therefore, all the praises should be attributed to him: from beginning to end, he fought with us and sticks to what really matters."

According to the schedule, the Western Conference Finals G1 will officially start tomorrow. Can Alexander lead the Thunder to the finals? Let's wait and see!
