Thunder Super Gate: The trick to win is to get into the state as soon as possible and play elite defense

In the previous NBA Western Conference semi-finals G7, the Oklahoma City Thunder, who played at home, defeated the Denver Nuggets 125-93. After this game, the Thunder locked the total score of the series at 4-3 and successfully advanced to the Western Conference Finals. After this game, the Thunder's substitute backcourt player Alex Caruso was interviewed by reporters, and he also talked about the important factors that the team played the sings all the way through the playoffs this season and advanced to the Western Conference Finals.

Obviously, Caruso is very satisfied with the team's performance in the playoffs so far. He said: The key to our success is to get into the form as quickly as possible in every game and play the rhythm of the game we are best at. We need to achieve elite defense, smooth transmission, accurate shooting and tough offensive rebounds. We are often able to reach our best in everything, and we know very clearly what we can do. Now what we have to do is learn how to get into this pace faster and continue it throughout the game. Obviously, the opponent is not particularly adaptable to our strength, and we can also use this advantage to quickly build an advantage in the game. During the playoffs, Caruso averaged 22.5 minutes in the first 11 games, with averaging 9.3 points, 2.5 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.8 steals, 0.6 blocks, and 0.7 turnovers and 2.1 fouls. He shot 45.6%, three-point shooting percentage 41.7%, and free throw shooting percentage 66.7%. In the series G7, Caruso's performance was impressive. He shot 5 of 7 shots in 25 minutes and 1 of 3 from outside the three-point line, scored comprehensive data of 11 points, 3 assists and 3 steals, and 3 fouls. He also made 3 fouls, and reached the highest plus and minus value of +40 in the game.

Caruso's performance in the series G7 was impressive. He was able to maintain stable efficiency on the offensive end, and he also seized the opportunity and got a lot of points. The most important thing is that he showed incredible versatility on the defensive end, his defensive efficiency is quite outstanding, and his defensive contribution is amazing. He even effectively restricted top centers in the league like Nikola Jokic, which is simply incredible. Caruso's role on the court is indeed too prominent. I don't know what kind of performance he can perform in the next Western Conference Finals.
