In today's NBA league, several young teams with great talent and immediate combat effectiveness have emerged, among which the Thunder is undoubtedly the most outstanding. Under the leadership of their core player Alexander, the Thunder finished the first 40 regular season games with a record of 34 wins and 6 losses, surpassing many strong teams in the West to rank first in the standings. On this game day, the Thunder traveled to Dallas to challenge the Mavericks. After the game started, Irving led the Mavericks to quickly establish a 20-point lead. However, the Thunder, who were missing key players, launched a fierce counterattack. Unfortunately, without the top-notch decisive ability of Alexander, the Western Conference leader suffered a 106-98 defeat on the road, ending their four-game winning streak! [Game Highlights] The Thunder played back-to-back games in this match. In the previous game day, they defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers at home by a huge margin of 20 points, winning the battle between the top teams in the East and West, and also ending the Cavaliers' undefeated record against Western Conference teams since the start of the season, defending the glory of the entire Western Conference. However, Alexander, who performed well in the previous game, missed this game due to injury, coupled with the impact of playing back-to-back games on physical fitness, making it unlikely for the Thunder to win on the road. The Mavericks, who lost to the Thunder in their last direct encounter in Oklahoma City, saw the opportunity to seek revenge at home. [Game Review] After the game started, the…

Today marks another historic battle between the top teams in the East and West, with the Thunder and Cavaliers facing off for the second time. The last time they met, the Cavaliers narrowly won at home, but this time it was on the Thunder's turf. In the end, the Thunder emerged victorious with a decisive 134-114 win over the Cavaliers. It's worth noting that the Thunder and Cavaliers are now tied for first place in the league, both with a record of 34 wins and 6 losses. This game truly highlighted the difference between the two main players, Alexander and Mitchell. In their previous matchup, Alexander had outperformed Mitchell, although the Cavaliers' twin towers were stronger. Today, Harten was absent from the game, and Holmgren continued to recover from his injury. Theoretically, the Cavaliers should have had the upper hand, as their frontcourt completely dominated the Thunder. With Jalin elevated to the center position at just 2.06 meters tall, and the power forward still being Jiewei at 1.96 meters, the Thunder were clearly at a disadvantage in the first quarter. The Cavaliers took advantage of the Thunder's lack of height in the paint, with Allen scoring repeatedly inside and Mitchell hitting a three-pointer to take an early 12-10 lead. However, the Thunder decided to go all-in, benching their tallest player, Jalin, and starting Jiewei at center to play an extreme small-ball lineup. Alexander went on a rampage, driving to the basket, hitting threes, and nailing mid-range shots. The Thunder abandoned their center and played a fast-paced style, resulting in a…

With the development of the times, NBA globalization has become increasingly successful, narrowing the gap in world basketball and giving rise to an increasing number of outstanding international stars. Current league players such as Jokic, Doncic, Antetokounmpo, and Alexander are all international players who have achieved great success in the NBA and become its poster boys. Looking back further, there were also many iconic international players, with Nowitzki being one of them. He achieved a brilliant career and is now enjoying life at the age of 46 after retiring. Speaking of Nowitzki, he is undoubtedly a talented player, standing at 2.13 meters tall yet possessing excellent running and jumping abilities. Even before entering the NBA, he had already made a name for himself on the international stage. Therefore, in the 1998 draft, Nowitzki was selected in the 9th pick. In that era, international players were not highly regarded, so this pick was enough to prove his talent. He averaged 8.2 points per game in his rookie season as a substitute. By his second year, he had turned things around to become a starter, averaging 17.5 points per game. In his third year, he directly scored an average of 21.8 points, 9.2 rebounds, and 2 assists per game, becoming a member of the All-NBA First Team and stepping into the ranks of superstars. Entering the 21st century, Nowitzki, along with Duncan and Garnett, was hailed as one of the three legendary power forwards. Their peaks coincided, and their strengths were evenly matched. Nowitzki also demonstrated his formidable strength, making it to…
