Pippen in the new era? Jaylenway evolves again. Alexander thanked him from exhaustion of physical fitness to 66 points in 2 games

Before the Battle of Kings Mountain in the Finals, ESPN famous reporter Windhorst said in the program: "Some people in the league believe that Jaylenway can have a (great) career like Pippen."

Considering that Jaylenway has not tasted the taste of winning the championship at the age of 24, and Pippen was selected for the 75 Big Stars and Hall of Fame with 6 championship rings, it seems a bit too hasty to throw this point out at this node.

When Jaylenway scored 40 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal in the Battle of Tianwang Mountain, helping the Thunder to a position that is only one game away from winning the championship, more and more people are willing to compare Jaylenway with Pippen. It’s not that Jay Levitra’s future achievements can reach Pippen’s height, but just that Jay Levitra already has the attributes of “the best second-in-command”.

The Thunder lagged behind 1-2 in the big score to now lead 3-2, and Alexander's obvious physical exhaustion in the last quarter of G3 to a total of 66 points in G4 and G5. Everything has to start with Jaylenway's role changes and evolution again. In the finals G3, Alexander scored 24 points, 4 assists, and 6 turnovers hit a new high. In the final quarter, Alexander scored only 3 points for 1 of 3 shots and zero assists. After the game, a large amount of data showed that Alexander was tired. No matter how strong the hard-solving ability is, the efficiency will be affected by physical strength. Even if Alexander is the second highest singles player in the regular season, he cannot avoid the vulgarity.

In the first two games, Alexander was responsible for dribbling in 61% of the ball possession rounds. Data shows that the Thunder's offensive efficiency is higher when dribbling. To limit the Thunder attack, the Pacers must start from the source, strengthen the pressing of Alexander when advancing in the backcourt, and consume him with all his strength.

G3 Pacers pressed against Alexander on the average distance from the basket reached 65.5 feet. Almost the Thunder used high-pressure defense to consume Alexander. In this game, the Pacers used 33 pressing times in the game. When it came to the positional battle, the Pacers took 12 double-teams against Alexander, which was the record for Alexander being double-teamed this year. The Pacers did not let Alexander go, either. Alexander made 22 shots in defensive opponents, which was also the most record in the playoffs this year. The fourth section of the Pacers are alive, but Alexander has no sense of existence. It is not a coincidence, but the victory of the Pacers' strategy. There is only one day off between

G3 and G4. Can Alexander take a break? How should the Thunder reduce the burden on Alexander and help him to last until the fourth quarter? G4, Dagenut came up with a different move. In addition to changing Alexander's rotation mode, Degnott also brought Haltenstein back to the starting lineup and pushed Jaylenway to the position of "point guard".

G4, the Pacers used 42 full-game press, setting a single-game record for this year's playoffs, more than their series G3 (37 times). The Pacers' strategy successfully lowered Alexander's ball-holding ratio to 31%, its lowest postseason record. But the Pacers found that their high pressure and tight defense hit the cotton because Jaylenway, as a ball handler, completed the task of helping Alexander reduce the burden.

Jaylenway G4's touches (72 times) and holding time (6.9 minutes) all exceeded Alexander for the first time. Jaylenway helped Alexander retain his physical fitness, which led to Alexander's invincibility in the last quarter with 15 points. However, the referee stole the limelight and not many people noticed the changes in the Thunder. The same is true in the battle of Tianwangshan. Jaylenway is more responsible for carrying the ball. He was the first to open up the situation on the offensive end, and then Alexander efficiently scored 31 points and 10 assists, and even had the strength to participate in the defense. After the game, he sighed, "Jelenway helped me reduce the burden and made me feel much more relaxed."

"I was short when I was a child and always played point guard," Jaylenway said when interpreting why I could play a guest role in point guard. "I have been playing point guard since I was a child, but I was often ignored by the outside world. I also played point guard in college, but later I started to try to serve as the wing, and returned to a familiar position in my junior year. The same is true in the NBA. I worked as a wing most of the time, but I have experience in playing different positions, and I am quite comfortable as a point guard."

In order to make the "point guard version of Jaylenway" play its strongest power, Dagenot used some "supporting facilities".

Haltenstein's value in this round of series was not only underestimated by the outside world, but even Degenut realized it only after falling into danger after the first three games. G4 Deguenot used the return to the double towers to start and admitted that "this move is to help Haltenstein get more playing time." When Haltenstein was present, his time basically coincided with Jaylenway. The two of them averaged only 10 minutes of playing time in the first three games, and the last two games increased to 18 minutes.

Haltenstein helped Jay Levitra cover at a higher position, creating a breakthrough space, and assisted the Thunder with 6 screens in 2 games to create 12 points. He gave 7 direct assists and gave Jay Levitra 4 times. In addition, Haltenstein's 9 offensive rebounds were the key to winning 14 points in the second offense in two games.

"I bet that Haltenstein may be tired of constantly setting covers for me," Jaylenway said with a smile. "He set a lot of covers for me, which is a good way to help me relieve the pressure on defense."

Degnot added the "2-8 pick-and-roll" between Alexander and Jaylenway. In the fourth quarter of G4, Alexander set 5 screens for Jaylenway to force the Pacers to switch defenses, tied the two to become partners in a single quarter record. In G5, Jaylenway sets more unball covers and fake covers for Alexander to serve as bait to help Alexander get rid of defense and launch an offense.

The Thunder lost to the Mavericks in the Western Conference semi-finals last season, partly because Jay Leonard was too inefficient as the second in command when Alexander was strictly guarded. At that time, Jaylenway touched more balls in the frontcourt than Alexander, but he scored only 0.241 points per touch. This season's playoffs, Jaylenway's data has increased to 0.302 points, while in the finals it exceeded 0.34 points..

Alexander was very satisfied with Jay Levitra's support: "My team's success so far is not up to me. Jay Levitra can serve as the deputy, shoulder the burden of offense, defend, and even go to the opponent's fifth position. He can do too many things."

Alexander's evaluation of Jay Levitra was just like Jordan's evaluation of Pippen back then.

Jerenway, like Pippen, experienced height anxiety in high school because he developed too late. After graduating from high school, he was reluctant to go to a school that was not well-known enough. He became a latecomer and entered the NBA as a lottery show. They serve as deputy to a historical scorer mainly based on CITIC, and do not compete or compete, and spend most of their time focusing on defense and organization. But when the team needs it, they can also digest the ball and carry the output.

In 1991, Pippen, who played in the finals for the first time, scored 32 points in G5, surpassing his teammate Jordan to become the Bulls' single-game scoring champion. 32 points in a single game were the highest scoring record in Pippen's finals career. In terms of scoring, Jaylenway walked ahead of Pippen. Pippen scored 30 points in only 6 games in 208 playoffs, with the highest score of 37 points (the Rockets played against the Lakers G3 in the first round of the playoffs in 1999). Jaylenway has scored 30 points in 31 playoff games, including 40 points. In terms of honors, Jaylenway is just starting out. In 1992, Pippen was 26 years old when he gathered four major honors, and Jaylenway was only 24 years old this year. This season, Jaylenway was selected as the All-Star, the Third Team of the Best Team of the Best Team of the Best Team of the Best Team of the Best Team of the Best Team of the Best Team of the Best Team of the Best Team of the Best Team of the Best Team of the Best Team of the Best Team of the Best Team of the Best Team of the Best Team of the Best Team of the Best Team of the Best Team of the Best Team of the Best Team of the Best Team of the Best Team of the Best Team of the Best Team of the Best Team of the Best Team of the Best Team of the Best Team of the Best Team of the Best Team of the Best Team of the Best Team of the Best Team of the Best Team of the Best Team of the Best Team of the Best Team of the Best Team of the Best Team of the Best Team of the Best Team of the Best Team of the Best Team of the Best Team of the Best Team of the Best Team of the Best Team of the Best Team of the Best Team of the Best Team of the Best Team of the Best Team of the Best Team of the Best Team of the Best Team of the Best Team of the Best Team of the Best Team

Jaylenway was very calm. After the Battle of Tianwang Mountain, he said that "there will not be too much reaction before winning the championship", because there are too many teams in history falling before embedding the shiny pearls into the crown. Chasing Pippen? The road is long and long, let’s win the first championship first.
