Can I lose too? 44+15! I m tired, my teammate CBA...

The Battle of Tianwang Mountain is here, whoever wins will take the initiative, the Thunder should have a greater psychological advantage at home.

However, the brave one wins when they meet on a narrow road. The ball is round and no one knows the result until the end.

Nuggets continue to play short rotation, but it has not changed at all.

The Nuggets have finally had enough of Porter Jr. and Braun. Although the former has a shoulder injury and the latter is too immature, now is the critical moment to win or go home, and I can't wait for you anymore.

If the intensity cannot be matched, then you can only replace it.

So today's Nuggets not only continue to use the two rotations of Westbrook and Watson, but also increase Strauser's playing time.

As a 198 cm tall forward, Strauser's size is barely enough. At the age of 23, he uses it to defend for a period of time, so there is no big problem.

Finally, the Nuggets also set up joint defense, relying on the strength of the team as much as possible to hide the disadvantage of Porter Jr.

The Nuggets have very little adjustable space. Today, it has achieved this step, and the rest depends on the performance of Jokic and Murray.

Jokic's performance in the last two games has not been satisfactory. He made 8 of 25 shots in G3, scoring 20 points and 16 rebounds with a 32% shooting percentage; in G4, he made 7 of 22 shots, scoring 27 points and 13 rebounds with a 31.8% shooting percentage.

It is rare to see Jokic's offensive efficiency so inexperienced, but that's the reality. The Thunder's defense is very strong against him, and he also feels tired in the constant game.

In the first round of the playoffs, they fought the Clippers for 7 games, and the series against the Thunder began just 2 days apart. The Nuggets team played 12 consecutive games, with an extraordinary intensity.

But today Jokic did not lose his chain. He scored 19 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists in the first half, without any mistakes, giving the Nuggets great support. The role player of the Nuggets also used three-pointers to repay his comeback, and Murray cheered up, scoring 11 points in the first half, exploded directly in the third quarter, scoring 13 points.

I haven't seen such a strong ball-holding breakthrough in Murray for a long time.

Finally, the Nuggets relied on their internal and external dual core strength to win the championship that year. They led the team to a single quarter score of 30-24 in the third quarter, entering the final quarter with an advantage of 8 points.

Potter Jr. and Braun only scored 10 points in the first three quarters. Although Strauser did not score many points, he was in good condition for Williams and Alexander.

But the thunder in the fourth quarter was not so easy to give up, and the time period belonging to them has finally arrived.

The Nuggets suddenly fell into a scoring drought in the last quarter, and the Thunder's acceleration in the first three quarters was effective. The short rotation did not unexpectedly cause problems in the Nuggets' physical fitness.

Half of the fourth quarter, the Nuggets team made a total of 1 of 9 shots, and the Thunder scored a 8-0 scoring climax, directly smearing the gap.

In the decisive battle, Jokic really didn't want to lose at all. He tried his best to make such a buzzer-beating three-pointer, which was amazing.

But sometimes the teammates' bad luck is difficult to evaluate. The biggest loophole is that if they are not matched with strength, and when the Nuggets only have 5 to 6 main players who can use it - Westbrook is not good today - there is a gap that is fatal, and the principle of the wooden barrel belongs to it.

So Alexander woke up decisively in the final quarter. He scored 10 points in a single quarter, and Williams also contributed 6 points and 5 rebounds in a single quarter.

The Nuggets' collapse started from the wings, which is not something Jokic can make up for.

Jokic is omnipotent, but he cannot appear in all positions and cannot fill all holes.

105-112, the Nuggets were reversed by the Thunder and lost the Battle of Tianwang Mountain, with a total score of 2-3 behind.

Jokic scored 44 points, 15 rebounds and 5 assists, Murray scored 28 points and 4 rebounds, Gordon scored 13 points and 5 rebounds, Porter Jr. scored 2 points and 4 rebounds, and Braun scored 8 points and 7 rebounds.

Alexander scored 31 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists, Williams scored 18 points, 9 rebounds, Homgren scored 14 points, 8 rebounds, Hartenstein scored 15 points, 7 rebounds, Dort scored 12 points, and Caruso scored 13 points and 4 rebounds.

The next game will still be back to Denver and the Nuggets still have a chance, but if the rotation and playing style are adjusted to this point and the teacher is in this way, the Nuggets still cannot win, then the hope for G6 is indeed slim.
