Dead horses are used as a living horse! Since the whole team has no feel, the Nuggets might as well try this wing star

In the previous NBA Western Conference semi-finals G5, the Oklahoma City Thunder played at home and made a strong effort in the final quarter, defeating the Denver Nuggets 112-105, winning this key battle at Kings Mountain. After this game, the Thunder widened the total score of this series to 3-2, not only gaining the advantage but also getting the match point; while the Nuggets will face a desperate battle in the series G6.

In this game, the performance of the Nuggets' substitute wing star Julian Strawther still has certain highlights. Strauser played 9 minutes and 53 seconds in the game, made 1 of 2 shots and 1 of 2 three-pointers, scored 3 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal, and 1 foul, with a plus-negative value of -1. Strauser actually made a three-pointer on the offensive end and got some points. Although his performance in other aspects was not particularly ideal, he did not cause too much trouble to the team. In this game, the biggest problem with the Nuggets is that except for Nikola Jokic, the other players in the team feel terrible outside the three-point line. Judging from Strauser's situation, his condition is at least good. He can at least take on certain responsibilities on the offensive end. Unfortunately, he still did not receive enough trust and support in this situation.

In the NBA regular season this season, Strauser made a total of 65 appearances in 82 games, averaging 21.3 minutes per game, averaging 9 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.2 blocks, and 0.9 turnovers and 2.3 fouls, shooting percentage of 43.2%, three-point shooting percentage of 34.9%, and free throw shooting percentage of 82.2%. So far in the playoffs, Strauser has played 7 games in the first 11 games, averaging 7.3 minutes per game, with averaging 2.4 points, 0.6 rebounds, 0.3 assists, 0.1 steals and 0.1 blocks, and 0.3 turnovers and 1.1 fouls. His shooting percentage is 42.9%, his three-point shooting percentage is 50%, and his free throw shooting percentage is 66.7%.

Strauser's performance during the playoffs was indeed not ideal, and his disadvantage on the defensive end was easily magnified. But the problem now is that many Nuggets players feel so badly. Therefore, the team also seems to rely too much on the performance of core players on the offensive end. Combined with the current situation, and the team is already on the verge of being eliminated, the Nuggets really need to make some other attempts to the team's tactics and personnel arrangements. In the next G6 series, which determines life and death, will the Nuggets consider giving Strauser more playing time?
