The role player is judged immediately, and the Nuggets survive in G7 is still a major hidden danger

series G5 won Tianwangshan at home. Before today's game, Murray was infected with flu and went on a game with illness. The Thunder ushered in the best chance to end the series away. But, they messed up.

In the first quarter, Alexander's personal offensive desire was extremely depressed, and he only completed two shots in 10 minutes of playing time. In the first half, Alexander was not only the problem of desire, but also the problem of foul. The second quarter has not yet ended, and Alexander has received four individual fouls, the first time in nearly three years. Fortunately, Alexander gradually regained his offensive form from the second quarter, contributing the team's highest 32 points in the whole game and also scored 6 assists.

In this game, the game between the first core of both sides was considered a draw, and the performance of the puzzle players determined the final direction of the game. Back at home, Jokic finally waited for the recovery and recovery of his teammates. Murray played 42 minutes in this game while ill, contributing comprehensive data of 25 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists, with a plus or negative value of +28 that was the best in the game.

young player Strauser stood up and became the surprise who won the left and right game. At the end of the third quarter, Strauser blossomed inside and outside, scoring 8 points in a short period of time, helping the Nuggets escape from the stalemate and become the controller of the situation. 15 points also set a new high for Strauser's single-game score in his career. In addition, Braun's performance today is also very critical, with 23 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists, and 3 steals being extremely dazzling. Scoring more than Williams, rebounding more than Harten, three-point shooting more than Alexander, steals more than Caruso, and Braun is also the Nuggets' magical boy tonight.

Nuggets are blooming in full swing, while Alexander seems a little isolated and helpless. In this game, Williams' form was extremely sluggish, with only 3 hits in 16 shots and 4 shots from outside the three-point line. At the end of the game, the Thunder still had hope of chasing points, and Williams's slashing after stealing even popped up. The second leader is in such a sluggish state, and Thunder is naturally unable to turn things around. Williams has been in a very poor state in the past three games, with only 10 hits in total for 43 shots. In the tiebreak battle, if Williams cannot recover his state in time, the Thunder may be in danger.

The Nuggets also have considerable hidden dangers. As the game approached the end of the game, Denver forward relied on the front and covered Gordon's left thigh with his hands, his expression slightly painful, and he was very likely to have suffered a hamstring strain. Referring to Curry's injuries, hamstring strain will greatly affect the player's mobility, and long-term rest is the best way to recover. The tiebreak will start next Monday, and it will be difficult for Gordon to recover during the two-day window.

Although Gordon's injury is confusing, as long as Jokic and Murray are there, the Nuggets have hope of fighting. In the life-and-death battle in the playoffs, Jokic averaged 26.2 points, 12.7 rebounds and 6.7 assists per game, with a real shooting percentage of 60.9%. It is still unknown who will win the battle of 71.

"I'm talking throughout the series that the Thunder's performance this season is simply incredible. They won the home advantage of tiebreak, and on the other hand, we also won the qualification to beat them in tiebreak," Adelman said.
