Jokic scored 42 points, 22 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks

After the Nuggets fired meritorious coach Mike Malone with three games left in the regular season this season, the Nuggets' playoff prospects were underestimated by most people. The military strategy is full of cliques, changing commanders at the time of battle is a taboo in military strategists. However, the Nuggets first defeated the Clippers in the tiebreak battle and entered the semi-finals, and then staged a good reversal when they played against the Thunder in the first game of the semi-finals. Fans called the Nuggets new coach Adelman standing on the shoulders of the giant Jokic and becoming a head coach with more playoff wins than the regular season in NBA history.

Jokic arranged tactics during the timeout, and he could not see the figure of head coach Adelman at all. During the timeout, the camera switched many times to give Jokic a scene where the team was arranged tactics. Head coach Adelman listened carefully, and sometimes he could not even see him next to the player. He did not know whether the tactics arranged for Gordon in the last shot were Jokic or Adelman. However, Adelman continued to use Westbrook's move, and the game also received a reward. Westbrook came on as a substitute for 30 minutes in this game, making 7 of 13 shots and scored 18 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists. Especially the final shot passed to Gordon, which further demonstrated Westbrook's mature and steady side!

Westbrook assisted Gordon to win the Thunder and was defeated by the final score, the two main players of the Thunder were questioned not being tough enough at the critical moment. Alexander was the first to bear the brunt. Although Alexander scored 33 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists in this game, the positive and negative value was -16, especially when he chose to pass the ball twice in the critical moment, he did not dare to take responsibility. The second player to be questioned is Homgren. With 9.5 seconds left in the game, the Thunder still led by 1 point. At this time, Homgren has a chance to have two free throws. If his mental quality is good enough and he will get all the balls in, he will at least ensure that he will not lose in regular time. As a result, Homgren failed to make two free throws. Finally, when defending Gordon, Gordon shot a winning goal head-on. This bad attack and defense directly ruined the game.

Homegren failed to make two free throws at the critical moment, although he lost the game, the two signings of the Thunder this season are the two highlights of this game. Harten and Caruso both showed excellent offensive and defensive abilities in this game, especially Caruso, who scored 20 points, 6 assists, 5 steals and 2 blocks in the whole game, which gave the answer to the question of whether it was worth it to exchange Caruso for Gidey!

Caruso scored 20 points, 1 rebound, 6 assists, 5 steals and 2 blocks, plus or negative value +13

Finally, I have to sigh that Aaron Gordon took over the final task that originally belonged to Murray. Gordon first defeated the Clippers in the previous game against the Clippers, and in this game, he was a quasi-killer Thunder. Do you think the Nuggets have a chance to enter the Western Conference Finals this season to face the Timberwolves again? Will the battle for the regular season MVP refer to this round of the series?
