He won the double MVP and was comparable to the peak James! Alexander deserves the strongest season!

The finals ended with the Thunder's tiebreak victory, and Alexander also successfully won the FMVP. The last player who won the regular season MVP and the Finals MVP in a single season can be traced back to James in 2013. So what kind of performance did Alexander perform in the playoffs? This issue of the column will help you understand through in-depth data analysis.

Judging from the performance in the finals, Alexander averaged 30.3 points per game and led all players on both sides in a down-to-range manner with a shooting percentage. This FMVP is well deserved, and winning the double MVP in a single season and scoring champion is also an achievement that Kobe, James, Curry, Durant and Jokic have not been able to achieve in recent years. Judging from the honors and awards this season, Alexander is the biggest winner. So does his strength and performance match his honor?

Some people believe that many of Alexander's scores in the playoffs come from free throws. It is indeed his signature scoring method, but if you think he can only score free throws, it would be biased. Judging from the number of free throws per game, Alexander's average of 9.4 free throws in the playoffs is only third in the league, not much different from Doncic. It can be said that he is good at creating fouls, but not only knows how to create fouls. Many of his abilities are also the top level this season.

Among the seven main players who averaged more than 20 minutes per game in the Thunder's playoffs, Alexander's average score is naturally the first in the main player. While Alexander's usage rate reached 32.2% of the main player, his real shooting rate after combining three-pointers and free throws also reached 57.4%, and his assist rate of 30.8% is also the first in the main player, which means that he consumed the most points that he met with his teammates.

Use the popular adjectives nowadays, he is the ball-holding core in the Thunder. He will be the one who is the most indispensable person in the Thunder offensive system.

Alexander's best score is his attack range and stability. Alexander's three-point shooting percentage in the playoffs showed a break-off decline, but this decline was mainly concentrated in three-point shootings when dribbling less: Alexander's three-point shooting percentages of 0, 1 and 2 dribbling were only 28.6%, 0% and 14.3%, respectively. This shooting percentage is indeed bad, but after dribbling more than 7 times and holding the ball for more than 6 seconds, the three-point shooting percentage reached 39.5% and 41.3%, which means that Alexander still has accurate three-point shooting after finding the shooting rhythm through dribbling with the ball.

In addition, Alexander is almost flawless on the offensive end. His shooting percentage in the three-second zone and mid-range distance reached 62.8%, 47.4% and 46.1% respectively. It can be said that he has a strong scoring threat in all areas within the three-point line. The singles and three-point line are not different from the three-point line and the shooting after dribbling outside the three-point line has created the biggest winner this season.

Alexander's stability is also exaggerated enough. When the Thunder is close to the score, Alexander has a high usage rate and real hit rate, which means that his shot count and real scoring efficiency are very stable when the Thunder and his opponent's score difference is close. He will not be invisible because the Thunder is in a tailwind or headwind, or the scoring efficiency will be greatly reduced. He has also completed the task of carrying the team.

In addition, Halliburton's key ball ability was fully reflected in the playoffs this season, but in fact, Alexander's offensive performance was not inferior to that of critical moments:

At the critical moment within five minutes of the playoffs this season, Alexander averaged 4.6 points per game, with a shooting percentage of 50% and 28.6%. This score ranked second among players who played more than 5 times in the critical moments of the playoffs, second only to Brunson, so Alexander's performance at critical moments was obviously underestimated.

Perhaps judging from the regular season data, Alexander is inferior to Jokic, but after Alexander won the championship and won the FMVP and was crowned the FMVP, there is no controversy. On the other hand, Alexander played 76 times in the regular season this season and played 23 times in the playoffs. This excellent attendance also reflects the essential ability of superstars to avoid injuries. In comparison, Halliburton is much worse.
