This season, the league's teams have played more than 20 games, and when we look at the current record of the East and West, you will find that the current pattern has changed, especially the new pattern of the West has been born, and some old strong teams are not as effective as before. As a result, many young strong teams were born, and these strong teams will lead the west for a long time in the future.

At present, the Thunder have won seven consecutive victories, and their record is also firmly in first place in the West. And with a three-win gap to second place in the West, it will be very difficult for other teams to catch up with the Thunder, who are among the best in the league this season. It's a very well-balanced team on both ends of the floor, and it's hard for them to slip down quickly.

One important statistic that speaks to the strength of the Thunder is their defensive efficiency. This season, the Thunder have the highest defensive efficiency in the league, and this is still due to the lack of an interior powerhouse like Holmgren. With Holmgren, the Thunder's defensive ability may be even more terrifying, because Holmgren is very strong at blocking under the basket, and his defensive deterrence is also very strong. At the moment, the Thunder only have one Hartenstein to use on the inside, and they are relatively weak on the inside. But even so, they put up some of the best defense in the league, which is enough to show that they are very strong in every position.

The Thunder are undoubtedly a big three team at the moment, with Alexander, Jalen Williams and Holmgren all capable of doing their own at the moment. Alexander is currently the absolute superstar in the league. What's more, all three players are all very young, with their average age of just 24. Why are they able to lead the team to the top of the West at such a young age of 24? A lot of fans have always attributed this to their defensive prowess. The Big Three are all very good defensive players. It's very rare to be able to maintain defensive efficiency even when you are also very good on the offensive end.

Although at the moment on the offensive end, the three of them may still be a little immature when controlling the tempo. For example, Jalen Williams and Holmgren are very young and may need to improve their passing ability. But all three of them have very good defense, which makes the Thunder a team that wins on defense, and they can rely on their defense to keep opponents from scoring. A lot of teams in the league have a hard time playing against the Thunder because they can switch defenses infinitely at every position and move very fast.

Alexander is currently gaining experience. The Thunder are already in the middle of their championship race, and they could be on the top podium in the next two to three years. And if management can do everything they can to keep the Big Three, the Thunder will become a superpowerhouse and can establish their position for at least the next five years.
