he NBA playoffs West Coast semifinals G1 between the Thunder and the Mavericks will officially begin on Wednesday morning. The Thunder hold the advantage in the match, and they swept the Pelicans in the first round to give their team enough rest time. As the top seed in the West Coast this season, the Thunder, who are the first to attack at home, are worth watching.

The Thunder performed very well in the first round. They never fell behind at halftime in the last round of the series, and were able to beat the Pelicans by an average of 15.75 points per game, demonstrating the power of the West Coast's first brother in the regular season. Although the outside world generally believes that the Pelicans, who are more experienced, can cause a wave of promotion for this young Thunder, in fact, in the first round of S. Alexander averaged 27.3 points and 6 rebounds per game. , 5 assists and 1.5 stolen balls, the Thunder swept the Pelicans without any danger. Of course, behind the sweep was the hard work of S. Alexander , as well as the performance of James Williams , Hemgren and Zushu Jeddi . Of course, it was also inseparable from Mark Daigneault’s influence on the young players. With his careful training of the players and excellent on-the-spot arrangements, he is well-deserved to be elected as the best head coach in the NBA this season. The good thing is that the Thunder have a record of 33 wins and 8 losses at home in the regular season this season. The winning rate and the gold nuggets are tied for the highest in the West Coast. In addition, the largest single-game point differential in the previous round of the series was recorded at the Thunder's home stadium. (G2's 32 points), and including the summer league, the Thunder have achieved an excellent record of 5 wins and 1 loss in the last 6 games against the Mavericks. Based on the above, there is reason to believe that the Thunder can win first in G1.

The Mavericks finally eliminated the Clippers (4-2). This was a series in which Luka Donsi did not perform very well. He averaged only 29.8 points per game (33.9 points in the regular season) and shot just over 40% from the field. , the three-point shooting percentage is only 24.2%, but he has good helpers- K. Irong averaged 26.5+5.7+4.7 in the series with the Clippers, and also recorded 1.8 stolen balls, with a high shooting percentage 51.4%, 44.9% from three-point range. In addition to the dual-core backcourt in the first round, only Paul Washington in the Mavericks averaged double digits (only 10.8 points), while the Thunder's regular front five all averaged double figures in the first round. In contrast, The Mavericks, who have more concentrated possession of the ball, are of course not as integrated as the Thunder. This is where the Mavericks suffer in this series. Once the Thunder carry out targeted defense against the dual-core backcourt, the Mavericks will lack enough scoring points, whether it is Paul Washington , Garford , Derek Jones or Derek Levene in the rotation , etc., most of the time play the blue-collar role of two-gun bodyguards, and it is unrealistic to expect them to step forward. In addition, the Mavericks have lost all three of their recent regular season visits to the Thunder, with an average of 127 points lost per game. The defensive end was completely blasted by the Thunder, which was the key to the loss. In view of this, it is not appropriate to support the Lone Ranger's trip. In terms of lineup, forwards Kaleb and Pusby are absent due to injuries.
