On May 6, the Nuggets will win the Thunder! Jokic, who did not play 42 points and 22 rebounds, nor Gordon, who did not play the final victory. In addition to winning the Nuggets, there is a real hero behind the scenes. Does anyone notice what Westbrook did in the last 9 seconds? He made 3 very wonderful decisions.

, Westbrook has always been synonymous with impulsive and passionateness in everyone's hearts, but I didn't expect that in this game, Westbrook actually turned into calm power. At the critical moment, his decisions were amazing. I didn't expect that he would be so calm and calm, and he made every right choice. If you make a mistake, there may not be Gordon's final victory in this game. At the same time, Jokic's historical Warcraft data will also be reduced to an empty cut.

What was Westbrook doing when the Nuggets won the final victory in the last round? He was making the smartest choice from beginning to end. First, it was the first very smart choice. Chetholmgren missed the second free throw. Westbrook had already rushed to the rebound position to grab the board. However, when he saw that his teammate Braun also came to grab the board, Westbrook gave up on the rebound without saying a word, gave up the rebound to Braun, turned his head and ran forward and went down the fast attack.

Everyone says Westbrook likes to brush data. Look at the last ball, Westbrook doesn't want the rebound you can pick up. He doesn't want to dribble the ball and push it forward, so he directly chooses to turn his head and rush forward. Westbrook really made a very smart choice in this small round. Seeing that his teammates could get the rebounds, Westbrook ran forward first.

Don't want to make such a rebound or pick up a board, hurry up and rush forward and take advantage of the Thunder's foothold and not steadily pushing back to find a better opportunity. Westbrook's decision was too calm. Seeing Braun at the rebound position, he started first to get the long pass.

Not only that, Westbrook also made the second very smart choice. After receiving a pass from Braun, there were 4 Thunder players around him. Everyone even thought that Westbrook wanted to do it himself. After all, the difference was 1 point at that time. He scored a 2-pointer and overtook the final result. He thought he wanted to be a hero. Unexpectedly, Westbrook was so calm that he faced the siege of four people, passing the ball to Gordon in the open position, and did not shoot by himself, nor did he want to be this hero by himself. This is completely different from Westbrook before. Gordon, who can find this open space, is the biggest improvement.

Look at the speed of his starting speed, and feel that he has made every effort to rush forward and want to fight by himself? He headed straight for the basket, and everyone was panicked. Everyone in the Nuggets was probably praying that Westbrook would not be on the ground. If he didn't make a fast break layup, he would be gone. But unexpectedly, Westbrook calmed down and passed it!

There is also the third very magical scene. In the past, Westbrook assisted his teammates and had already celebrated passionately, but when Gordon scored a goal, there were 2.8 seconds left. Westbrook's first reaction was not to celebrate, but to rush forward to defend. Before he could celebrate, he stopped his opponent's last attack and had already started running and landing and defending.

is unbelievable. Westbrook didn't celebrate his contribution. After taking the initiative to win, he immediately defended on the spot and interfered with the opponent's operations. Westbrook's damn concentration is so tempted to win. So although at the last moment, you only have one assist in Westbrook's technical statistics, each of the three choices he made was very rational.

First, let the rebound push the fast attack to his teammates and let the board go quickly, then let go of his idea of ​​being a hero, falsely break the real pass, calm down and assist Gordon, and find teammates who have a better chance in an open position. Finally, we don’t celebrate after the ball is in. We defend first and defend the opponent’s long three-pointer. This may be what we call the pinnacle. Westbrook’s performance in the last 9 seconds is definitely a textbook.
