Is the winning password dragging into a critical moment? The Nuggets puzzles are full of production results, and the four major King Kongs are in full swing to save juice

G3's plot is actually similar to G1. Once the Nuggets can drag the game into a critical moment (the score difference of ≤5 points in the last 5 minutes), they will always have a way to complete the fire to collect juice.
As the 2023 championship team, the Nuggets have seen many big scenes with teachers, Gordon, Murray and Porter Jr. The execution of the Nuggets G1 and G3 at critical moments crushed the Thunder - the Thunder, which had 68 wins in the regular season, was invincible, but the experience and star quality at critical moments were indeed too young in front of the Nuggets.
The Nuggets spent 11-2 overtime and scored 11 points in a perfect fire, asking Teacher, Porter Jr., Murray and Gordon to score 11 points together; on the other hand, Alexander made 0 of 8 in the last 6 minutes of the fourth quarter, and was double-teamed out of the ball in overtime and 0 of 3 shots for Harten. The Thunder were left behind by the Nuggets at the end of the execution at the critical moment.
G3, like G1, the Thunder Youth Army once again paid the tuition due to lack of experience.
Alexander averaged 33.5 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists in the first two games. The Nuggets adopted 2-3 joint defense in the first defensive round, combining BOX-1 tactics to limit Alexander at all costs.
The Nuggets' single defense resources on the outside were severely challenged in this round of the series. Alexander and Jaylen Williams can break through and shoot and are young and fast. Murray, Braun, Porter Jr.'s one-on-one defense against Alexander and Jaylen Williams is not effective. Gordon, who is relatively best in defense, is limited by tonnage, speed and the pressure given by the Thunder Twin Towers, cannot defend Alexander alone on the outside for a long time.
Once the Nuggets' single defense is broken by Alexander, the Thunder will quickly start through the defensive counterattack, and the game will fall into the downwind bombardment that the Thunder likes, and the Nuggets will easily be swept away in one breath.
It is also difficult to defend Alexander/Jaylen Williams with the ball + No. 5 pick-and-roll. The Nuggets comprehensively considered the effects of single defense Alexander and high-end pick-and-roll, and finally boldly changed their moves and adopted 2-3 regional joint defense.
The Nuggets' defensive ideas throughout the game were extremely firm. The 2-3 joint defense and BOX-1 tactics were specially customized for Alexander. They would rather empty the Thunder and other three-pointers or Harten's pick-and-roll and small throws, and they would restrict Alexander from entering the paint area at all costs, and encourage him to play three-pointers and bet on a single one-time deal.
league scoring champion Alexander averaged 32.7 points per game in the regular season. In this game, he made only 18 points with 7 of 22 shots and 1 of 6 three-pointers. The 2-3 joint defense and BOX-1 defensive strategies adopted by the Nuggets have played a significant role.
The most obvious thing is in the fourth quarter and overtime. Alexander could not play Braun comfortably. There were always 2-3 people on his face to help defend and encircle him. The Nuggets just didn't let Alexander swing.
The Nuggets used regional joint defense and one-point four-way defense to target Alexander is to give other Thunder an open three-pointer opportunity. Homgren made 1 of 6 three-pointers, Dortmund made 0 of 4 three-pointers, and the Thunder team made only 9 of 35 three-pointers, with a three-point shooting percentage of 25.7%. The inaccuracy of Thunder puzzle players is also the key factor in the Nuggets being able to win this game.
Thunder also targeted Yoo Teacher on the defensive end, and the Nuggets puzzle players teamed up to save the soldier Jokic.
G1, about 42 points and 7 mistakes; G2, about 17 points and 6 mistakes; G3, about 20 points and 8 mistakes, and 0 of 10 three-pointers.
Thunder G1 used Homegren to defend the teacher at the beginning, and Harten gave Gordon a three-pointer to help assist in defense; Coach Dagnott adjusted his defensive strategy against Teachers from G2. Harten and Jerin Williams took turns to consume the teacher as a meat shield. As long as the teacher sits on his back and grinds into the paint area, decisively surrounds and attacks, and cuts his pass line - G2 began to try not to let the teacher play with his back, including in this game, he continued to encourage the teacher to bet on the shooting percentage in the middle and long range.
Ye Teacher made 10 three-pointers and 6 mid-range shots in this game. Because of the Thunder's cage tactics, he was forced to make a large number of mid-range shots in the basket. He really didn't have a chance to sit in the penalty area. This also reflects the Thunder's defensive philosophy. He would rather be thrown to death by Teacher Yo than let Teacher Yo play dominant in the penalty area, and continue to empty three-pointers from three unstable space points, Westbrook, Braun and Watson.
Even though Yoshiki played the worst playoff shooting performance in his career in this game, the Nuggets puzzle players made super-level three-pointers: Porter Jr. made 5 of 6 three-pointers, Gordon made 4 of 6 three-pointers, Braun, Watson and Murray made 2 three-pointers each, and the Nuggets’ team made 16 of 40 three-pointers, with a shooting percentage of up to 40% - if it is not counted as Yoshiki’s three-pointers, the other Nuggets’ three-pointers hit the ball in this game is as high as 53.3%!
G2, Porter Jr. made 2 of 10, and Murray made 4 of 9. The key to the G3 Nuggets not being thrown away by the Thunder was that Porter Jr. and Murray entered the state early. There is no doubt that the projection performance of these two brothers is equivalent to the Nuggets' offensive barometer.
In the game where Porter Jr. and Murray can play a high-quality finale, the Nuggets in full form can indeed compete with the Thunder.
G3 teams have already made clear cards, and the response ability of the three-pointer directly determines the game trend.
The Nuggets used 2-3 joint defense and BOX-1 tactics to taste the sweetness. After all, their single defense resources and appointment teachers are naturally limited in their pick-and-roll defense. It is difficult for people to match the Thunder ace Alexander's singles and sprint ability. The test of the puzzle players around Alexander includes letting Jaylen Williams digest the number of offensive shots, which is obviously the way the Nuggets prefer to defend.
The key to the Thunder breaking the deadlock is whether they can make three-pointers to crack the Nuggets' joint defense and BOX-1 tactics. Caruso and Dortmund are undoubtedly the targets of the Nuggets' key short-selling lottery draws. The Thunder's disadvantage is that the stability of the three-pointer, including their ace Alexander, is not good at solving three-pointers with the ball and singles. In the following games, the Nuggets will inevitably adopt large numbers of joint defense and B0X-1 tactics. The Thunder's puzzle response is crucial.
The defensive intensity encountered by the teacher is obvious to all. It is no coincidence that there are 7, 6 and 8 mistakes in three consecutive games.. Thunder's melee consumption and pinch rotation strategy almost fully understands Teacher Yo, and he will never let Teacher Yo sit on his back easily, which will implement the entire series.
It seems that the top two candidates for MVP this season have been collectively awkward in this game, and the most targeted defense is forcing them to stay away from their comfort zones and dessert positions. You can draw a lottery with three-pointers in the basket, and you can get 0 of 10 three-pointers and 1 of 6 three-pointers in Alexander. It is even more difficult to enter the paint area.
The two teams' series of games will not change. The Thunder will use their depth to resolve the battle early and avoid playing critical moments. The Nuggets are the opposite, but they want to seize the score and rely on several scoring points such as Murray and Porter Jr. The
series will not end early, the Thunder's three-pointers have room for a pullback (9 of 35 in this game), the Nuggets' three-pointers will not always be so efficient (16 of 30 people around the teacher's side will be), and Alexander and Mr. Joe will not always be bad, and the real excitement will be in the future.
