Alexander: He is the champion player of the team and our "Bald Mamba"

On the Thunder bench, a player with an annual salary of 20 million is rubbing the soles of his shoes. He averaged only 5.7 points per game in the regular season, but he held a four-year contract of 81 million; he had a plus-minus value of +40 in a single game in the playoffs, and contributed 7 steals in two finals - his name is Alex Caruso, and fans called him "Bald Mamba". Let's see how he became a "Bald Mamba" from the undraft 1. Invisible iron gate locked Halliburton 4 finals G4 whistle sounded, and the Pacers' main controller Halliburton angrily pulled off his headband. He scored only 18 points in this game, but made 6 mistakes - 4 of which were given by Caruso. The Thunder substitute was possessed by a ghost. He destroyed the passing route seven times in the game and directly intercepted Halliburton three times, dismantling the Pacers' offensive engine to pieces. After four finals (excluding today's game), Caruso handed over a report card with excellent offense and defense:

Basic data: 10.3 points, 3.1 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game, and the three-point shooting percentage soared to 42.1%

High-level value: The Thunder's net victory in 16 points in 10 rounds, and the defensive efficiency value is 98.* The top team has won 15 times in total, and the key contribution: The total ball-breaking rights have been destroyed in total, suppressing Halliburton's assists to 8.1 times per game (10.9 times in the regular season)

Especially in the G2 game, he cut off Siakam's breakthrough like a scalpel, and then the fast break dunk ignited the whole game. When the reporter asked about the secret, he grinned: "I just predicted their predictions."

2, the championship beacon in the locker room "He is the only champion player in the team," Alexander pointed to the corner of the locker room after winning the G4. "We usually listen carefully to what he said." At this moment, Caruso was surrounded by young people such as Homgren, gesturing at the defensive position.

The counterattack of this undraft is an inspirational epic: in 2019, he served tea and delivered water to the Lakers. In 2020, he averaged only 2.3 points per game when he won the championship with the team in 2020. In 2021, the Lakers refused to pay 3 million yuan in annual salary difference and left the team, and instead renewed the contract with Tucker in 2024. He wore a Thunderbolt shirt and signed 81 million yuan in the finals G3 as a defensive team. In the last three minutes of the Pacers' finals G3, the Pacers counterattacked wildly. Caruso suddenly summoned his teammates: "Look at Halliburton's dribble, he will change direction for the third time!" Then Jaylen Williams quickly completed the fatal steal. When the camera pointed at the sidelines, coach Degenut gave Caruso a thumbs up - this bald wise man has become the Thunder's decisive needle.

3. The double crown of the winner of life

In the locker room, Caruso's mobile screensaver was a photo of him and his fiancee Halle Brochul. This model and actor, who is very beautiful, accepted his proposal to kneel on one knee last year. When the reporter teased "the stadium has a good harvest of love and love", his ears turned red: "I just want to replace the ring with the champion ring now."

And the fans of the Russian City have already expressed their love with huge posters - Caruso is on the fangs and claws in the picture, and the title reads: "81 million yuan to buy an iron gate, worth it!" When G4 finished the final game, he flew to save the ball outside the boundary, causing his back to slide out three meters away, 20,000 people in the audience shouted in unison, "Bald Mamba!".

The final whistle sounded, and Alexander and Caruso collided with each other to celebrate. This blue-collar worker, who was born in the draft, is building the foundation for the Thunder with a steel and iron defense. When the reporter asked about the G5 strategy, Caruso stroked the light head and smiled, "Let Halliburton have a nightmare for a few more nights." Behind him, the reflection of the championship trophy was vaguely visible.
