The world of young people! SGA/Huazi/Halliburton/Brunson compete for the championship. The NBA ushered in a new era!

When the final whistle sounded, Oklahoma City's home court was in full swing - the Thunder defeated the Nuggets with a huge gap of 125-93, won the second round of tiebreak, and advanced to the Western Conference Finals with a big score of 4-3.

In this game, the team's core Alexander came down to earth like a god: played for 36 minutes, scored 35 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals, and the plus and minus value was as high as + 32, leading the team to a new journey with almost perfect performance. What’s more remarkable is that he is currently leading the way in the known MVP votes.

With the Thunder's advancement, all the matches between the East and West finals were announced: the Knicks and the Pacers in the East, and the Thunder faced the Timberwolves in the West. Leaders of the four teams - Edwards, Alexander, Brunson and Halliburton, are the most popular young generation representatives in the league.

This means that this season's NBA championship trophy will definitely fall into the hands of a "career first championship" winner. When the camera swept through four sharp stars, everyone realized that the era of the older generation is coming to an end, and the NBA has quietly opened the chapter of "The New King is Delivered".

Interestingly, behind the semifinals is an intriguing historical footnote: The Thunder (excluding the Supersonic Period), Pacers, and Timberwolves never scored the championship, and the Knicks' last win dates back to 1973. In other words, no matter who reaches the top in the end, he will write a new epic of glory for his team. This freshness of "all players are competing for the championship" is exactly the best footnote to the vitality of the league today.

Although it is regrettable that the Nuggets were eliminated, as commentator Wang Meng said: "We still have to pay deep respects to the Nuggets." This 2023 championship team was defeated in the tiebreak of this season. They were labeled as "not optimistic", but they always maintained their fighting spirit, confidence and calmness in on-the-spot response.

Wang Meng expressed the essence of basketball with emotion: "Walking deep into the playoffs, it depends on the thickness and overall strength of the whole team. One person walks fast, and a group of people walk far." The Nuggets interpreted the charm of competitive sports with perseverance, and their exit also added a bit of a heavy suspense to the "new king".

It is worth mentioning that with the Nuggets being eliminated, the NBA has ushered in a special record: 7 different championships have been born in the past seven years, setting the highest in league history. In this era when "it is difficult to win consecutive championships and even harder to enter the finals", every champion team is writing a unique legend. Now, four young leaders are about to fight in the East and West finals. Behind them are teams eager to break the gap in history, and ahead of them is a path of glory full of unknowns.

A new story is being played out as the lights focus on Madison Square Garden, Indiana Pacers Banker Life Arena, Oklahoma City Chesapeake Energy Arena and Minneapolis Target Center. This is the golden age of the NBA, and we are witnessing the birth of a new king.
