In the regular season opener on October 22, the Thunder defeated the Rockets 125-124 in double overtime. After the game, media personality Kong Dexin commented on the duel on social media.

Kong Dexin wrote on his personal Weibo: "For the 6th double-overtime season opener in NBA history, the Thunder defended the ring night and narrowly defeated the Rockets 125-124!

" With only 5 points in the first half, SGA scored 35 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, and 24 points in the final quarter and overtime. Without J-Dub, the whole world knew that the Thunder's key ball was in SGA's hands, and he made countless forced shots until he brought down the Rockets. With 28+7, Chet shouldered the production of the second team leader. Hatten's frontcourt has always put pressure on the Rockets. Carson was one of the most important Thunder players tonight, with 14+7+5+4 steals and two key three-pointers. And although he is crazy about iron, Dort's fight against KD cannot be ignored.

"Shen Jing played a season declaration game, with 39 points, 11 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals (the first player in NBA history to record such statistics in the season opener), 20 points in the final quarter + overtime. And he lasted 48 minutes and 53 seconds. This is the most important reason why the Rockets' large lineup offense is not terrible. Shen Jing has become a reliable "outside" offensive initiator in many cases. KD scored 2 With 3 points and 9 rebounds, the efficiency is acceptable, but his presence at critical moments is not as strong as expected. Dort's struggles, physical decline, and shortcomings of making mistakes when holding the ball make it difficult for KD and SGA to make shots. Smith Jr. contributed a lot of winning plays, and he would be a superhero if he made the last shot.

"Amen scored 18+4+5 and retired due to cramps in the first overtime. He has had a calf strain in the past, which is obviously a bit more concerning. Although he dares to take shots, he made 0 of 7 three-pointers tonight. The problem of clogging the space without the ball obviously exists. He is still a very special offensive player, but his throwing shot seems to be better. Sheppard's statistics and some defensive rounds are ugly, but his actual contribution on the field is underestimated. The main reason is that the Rockets can't find anyone better than him to play at certain moments (Holiday is not in the rotation). He can provide a certain amount of space, control movement, transfer the ball, and also have some energetic moments. He has loopholes but also contributes.

"There is no J-Dub on one side and VanVleet on the other. Both teams have proven that they are championship contenders this season. The Thunder's fundamentals are there, but the Rockets still have many problems that need to be solved."
