The finals G5 is here, the Thunder Jedi strikes back, Alexander handes the "Superstar Answer"
1:00am, 17 June 2025【Basketball】
2 to 2, Life and Death G5 is about to begin, and a confrontation between youth and explosive power will determine which side the championship's balance is tilted. The suspense of the NBA Finals rekindled, and the Thunder and Pacers' competition far exceeded all fans' expectations. Two teams that were not favored were originally defeated, broke through the siege from the division and stood on the finals stage. Now that the two sides have tied 2-2, the "Fight of Tianwang Mountain" in G5 not only determines who has the initiative in the series, but also may influence the ownership of the championship.
In such a highly anticipated moment, in the spotlight, a person stood up: Shay Gilgers Alexander.

In all G5 rounds this year's playoffs, Alexander averaged 32.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 7.5 assists and 2 steals, with a shooting percentage of up to 54%, a three-point shooting percentage of 43%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 100%.
This set of data is not a show-off, but a solid hard currency. The more critical the game, the more he can produce superstar output and become the most stable pillar on the Thunder's road to promotion.

A young super defender, facing extreme oppression, handed over such an answer is enough to make everyone respect him.
Many fans joked: "Doncic was eliminated, Tatum was waiting and watching, and the Thunder and Alexander are now the candidates closest to the MVP in the Finals." Although this sentence has an exaggeration, it also reflects a fact-Alexander's stability and explosiveness are the most important confidence since the Thunder's playoffs.
The Thunder were able to reach the finals, and the outside world was almost unanimously accused of being too young and lacking experience in the playoffs, and even the inside was criticized for being "unable to withstand high-intensity confrontation." But round after round, they used defense and counterattack to overcome the strong enemy step by step, and fought a dark horse path alive.

If the Thunder and Pacers were tempted and adjusted in the first three games, then G5 is a big bet that puts all the chips in.
Tomorrow, the game will be held at the Thunder home court. The biggest advantage of this young team is not only the speed under the feet, but the unstoppable atmosphere brought by the home court. Every goal can make the audience boil and deafening. This aura is the Thunder's most powerful sixth man. The walkers opposite are not fuel-efficient lights. Halliburton was in charge, Siakam was fully fired, and the inner and outer lines were fired together. They were also eager to break through the Thunder's defense through the G5. Now that the total score is tied, whoever can win the first goal in G5 will be on the shadow of the championship trophy.
But at the moment, the X factor on Thunder is obviously Alexander.
In every round of the G5 series, he can output 30+ stably and has a very high hit rate. This ability to remain ruthless in times of anxiety is the hardest indicator to measure superstars.

What's more terrible is that this is not Alexander's upper limit. Judging from his sense of control on the court, whether it is holding the ball, breaking through and causing damage, three-point shooting, or fast breaking advancement, he can complete it with a "no hurry or impatience", which is very similar to Leonard in the early days, and has a little more aura. The significance of the finals is never to see who is strong in the regular season, but to who can withstand the pressure and carry the whole team under the attention of the whole world. Alexander has done this.

He is not the kind of player who becomes famous overnight, but in every key playoff game, he cuts out doubts and finally stands on the road to superstars.
If the Thunder can win this G5, there is only one game left to win the championship, and they have the opportunity to break everyone's prejudice against the "ceiling" of young teams. On the contrary, the Pacers also understand that they cannot let the series go to tiebreak, which is a huge psychological and physical test.
After all, this game is not only a stalemate in the score, but also a bet on trust and growth. Thunder trusts Alexander, the "new core", while Pacers hope for integrity and poor experience. What fans trust is the suspense of the game and the tension of fate, which is the most touching thing about basketball.

is not about whoever feels the best, but about who can withstand pressure and responsibilities.
The Battle of Tianwang Mountain is about to begin. What kind of answer will Alexander deliver? Whether the Thunder can continue to perform miracles will be revealed on the field.
Basketball is never just a score game, it is a collision of will, spirit and talent. G5 is the collection of all these.
