Announced! NBA Best Defensive Team! The Thunder are the biggest winners again

Best Defensive Team 1:Mobley (Cavaliers), Dream Green (Warriors), Daniels (Hawks), Amen (Rockets) and Dort (Thunder).

Defensive Team 2:Kamara (Trail Blazers), Gobert (Timberwolves), Jackson Jr. (Grizzlies), Jawe (Thunder) and Zubac (Clippers).

The Thunder are the only team to have two players named to the All-Defensive Team this season, and they topped the league in defensive efficiency of 106.6 in the regular season and 100.7 so far in the playoffs.

The Thunder have a faulty lead in defensive efficiency in the playoffs, with the Timberwolves coming in second with 107.8 defensive efficiency. In the G1 battle of the Western Conference finals, the Timberwolves only scored 88 points under the Thunder's defense, tied for the second lowest in the playoffs this year, and only scored 88 points against the Warriors in the second round.

But the Timberwolves eliminated the Warriors in five games in the second round, although mainly because Curry played only one game due to injury, that is, G1, and may be able to use the good fortune of the second round to turn the tables in the game after the Western Conference finals.

The lowest score for the Timberwolves so far in this year's playoffs was 85 points in the first round against the Lakers G2, but it still did not prevent them from advancing in 5 games.

It seems that the Timberwolves will always have something wrong in every round of the series, but it seems that the Thunder should panic, and they may not be finished in five games like the Lakers and Warriors.

However, after all, the Thunder is the regular season champion this season and has been tested by the Nuggets in the second round, so it should not be so easy to become a stepping stone for others to move forward.

Talking about Dream Green, he was selected for the best defensive team again after 4 years, and he is 35 years old this year, which is a remarkable achievement, so it is especially necessary to mention it separately.

Including the first and second teams, Green has been named to the All-Defensive Team a total of nine times so far in his careerThere are only five more people in NBA history than him, namely Duncan (15 times), Kobe/Garnett (12 times), Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (11 times) and Pippen (10 times).

Dream Green's current contract expires in the summer of '27, and he can catch up with Pippen and even Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in the number of times he is named to the All-Defensive Team, good luck to him!
