Gilgos Alexander tea Lead Oklahoma City Thunder To the best record in the American Professional League. He won the registration title. He fled with the MVP Award. MVP was called the Western Conference Finals.
But for him TRUE The test came on Friday, when Oklahoma City Thunder faces a difficult deficit in the 3-1 series in the American Professional League Finals.
Stars are made in the largest stages. They have a way to win their teams to win. At the age of twenty-six, Gilgeous-alexander has the appeal of the eye, but until Friday he did not appear to have a killing key.
With thunder Indiana Basars By up to seven points in the last 12 minutes of the 4th game of the finals, Gilegous-alexander was the most important quarter of his life. He scored 15 points from 35 points in a five-minute extension to lead his team to win 111-104, link the series to 2-2 and prevent them from slipping to what was supposed to be enormous.
We have almost believed in the amazing registration capacity of Gilgeous-alexander. Although it is 32.7 points against Besus in the finals, this barely broke the three upper lines of the series. We expected it from him.
But what we did not see is how he responds to saving. As you know, Michael Jordan glow, Cuban Bryant excites his teeth or a shrimp look Liberon James In his eyes when he is about to take over.
Although the Gilgeous-Elexander star rose this season, as he raised the prestigious individual awards in this sport, he has not yet appeared that he could put his team on his back when everything was at stake.
Nobody knows it better than Gilgeous-Elexander.
“The tournament or a bust statue,” said Gilgos Alexander in Exclusive interview with Fox Sports Before the qualifiers. “If we do not win, this is a failure.”
Last season, Gilgeous-alexander and The Thunder were not ready to compete for a championship. They were eliminated by Dallas Maverx In the second round of the qualifiers. This time, the things that have pledged to Gilgeous-alexander will be different.
Everything has reached the fourth quarter of game 4.
In a 12 -minute period of time, this series will be dramatically oscillated on one of the two opposite tracks, with a loss, but it indicates the disappearance of his team and the victory over the two teams on the playing ground, and a shame of the championship.
Gilgeous-alexander dug the follower, and went to the goal of the Pacers team, which became known for its amazing victory this season. This time, it was a large-scale in the last minutes as Gilgeous-alexander showed that it could be Which – which The man is in difficult moments, with the highest risks on the line.
He has used stops and abandoning many defenders to make a ball throw. Prohibited Teres Haleporton Try 3 points. He made an indicator of 3 points, and made a rear distribution from the disputed Jordan. He made all eight of its free grace below the extension, and ended 10 versus 10 charitable tape.
He has proven to be a real leader, that he could remain calm and cold in the face of pressure and that he really deserves to be in the conversation to become a star in the American Professional League.
“The same behavior is as always,” said Mark Diennult. “You really don’t know if it rises three, three, above 30, or a decrease of 30 years, and dinner on Wednesday. It is the same man to a large extent.”
Add Alex Caroso: “” You will not know if the Pressaason game or it is the game 4 of the American Professional League finals below 2-1 with him. For this reason we have a good mentality as a group. That is why we are able to find success in adversity. Regardless of what is happening, you look at it, which is himself. Under that wonderful character is the deep competitiveness and roots. “
Before the finals, Gilgeous-alexander was not tested.
The thunder sweeps Memphis in the first round of the qualifiers. A series of the second round against Denver went seven games, but at the end of the winning, they won 32 points. Then they quickly expelled Minnesota in five games in the conference finals.
But when the hiatus of the Test Test title was placed on Friday, he answered categorically.
“I knew what it seemed if we lost tonight,” he said. “I didn’t want to go out, I was not like. I didn’t want to go out and do not do everything I could do in my ghost, in my control, to try to win the game.”
Therefore, Gilgeous-alexander puts everything on the line.
At that moment, we saw the first real sparkle of its greatness.
