On May 16, the NBA playoffs continued. In a just-concluded playoff game, the Nuggets defeated the Thunder 119-107. The familiar Downs collapse did not reappear in this game. They saved their physical fitness in the fourth quarter and finally withstanded the Thunder's offensive. In this game, the Nuggets showed everyone their determination to win. The team stretched out their strength and resilience, and completed a comeback when they were once behind double digits.
Jamalmurray is the key to the team's winning game. He made 9 of 19 shots in the game, 2 of 6 three-pointers, scored 25 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 block, with a plus-negative value of up to +28, the highest in the team. Murray played with the flu in this game. In the first half, he was in a state that was not stable due to the flu attack, but he found his form in the second half, especially in the third quarter, with 9 points in a single quarter. He used his willpower to withstand the fatigue and discomfort caused by the flu.
Porter Jr. scored 10 points and 4 rebounds in this game, playing for only 28 minutes. Although Porter Jr. was abandoned at most critical moments in this round of series, and his condition is not stable, friends who have watched the game know that Porter Jr. is getting painkillers in every game in order to help the team. As long as he plays, he can open up space for other cores. After today, Porter Jr. also said that he plans to inject another shot before G7.
Gordon scored 5 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists in this game. The opponent also tried his best to prevent him from slipping into the baseline. However, Gordon also showed his versatility and connected the team well. Gordon suffered a hamstring strain at the end of the fourth quarter of this game. Everyone was also worried about his condition. After all, in the past situation, many teams lost because of the core hamstring injury, Paul, who was in the 2018 tiebreaker, and Curry this season.
However, Gordon didn't seem to have a big problem. In an interview after the game, Gordon said: I feel okay, let's wait and see, I'm going to start recovering now, and be ready to ensure the seventh game. There is a reason why these three players were renewed by the Nuggets. They played with injuries to compete for the championship. This is a tough guy. Perhaps the Nuggets cannot defeat the Thunder in the end, but even so, they are eliminated and deserve respect. In an interview after the game, Jokic also talked about how to win the next G7. He said: defense, details, positioning, control mistakes, these factors will determine the outcome of the game. We were not called an offensive foul in G6, which will help us. Today we were able to win the game by defending, and we did a good job of defense most of the time. Later, Jokic also talked about their current coach Adelman.
Jokic said: The communication between us is very smooth, and I can ask Adelman questions at any time and share my views. I am very grateful for this. If Malone were there, it would probably be that the Nuggets would not have the current result. Everyone knows the situation at the beginning. The reason why the Nuggets have been losing is that Malone and the general manager are engaged in power struggles. The whole team is uneasy, and everyone is asked to take the team and have no intention of winning. Now they have both left the team, and the Nuggets are on the right track.
The main reason for the Thunder's loss today was Jewe. He did not play the performance that the second in command should have. He made 3 of 16 shots in the game, scored only 6 points, and 0 of 9 shots in the second half, which did not help the team at all. Jewe was also very guilty about this. He said: I think my approach was right, but I didn't score a goal tonight, so it dragged everyone down. However, we have always performed well when facing difficulties. This is another opportunity, and we are all looking forward to it.
Regarding Jewish's performance, the team's Dagnout and the star Alexander also responded to this. Dagnout said: He is a valuable player on the court, and he does more than score. Even on a night when the shooting feels bad, he can still have a great influence on the team. He is still learning how to become a great player. He already has such potential. He just needs to stay focused because his talent can allow him to take over the game at any time.
Alexander said: This is life, this is basketball, obviously not his tonight, but the best thing is that if he performs well in the next game, he will have a chance to change it all. The best thing about the Thunder team is that neither their coach nor the star will blame him after losing. This is a good thing, because this will make the players more cohesive. Only when young players have no burden can they play better. If they put pressure on him, the effect may be counterproductive later.
The series of the two sides will be played at the Thunder. Although the Nuggets have experience, the Thunder has home advantage, and many of the Nuggets' cores are still injured. In this case, it seems that the Nuggets have no advantage. I am more optimistic about the Thunder's ability to advance. Having said that, what do you want to say about the current Nuggets and Thunder? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
