The tiebreak is here! The Nuggets lose to Tianwang Mountain, and Su Qun commented on the three main players of the team!

In today's NBA Western Conference semi-finals, the Nuggets lost to the Thunder 105-112, falling behind 2-3, and the situation in the series was in jeopardy. After the game, the well-known basketball commentator Su Qun made in-depth comments on the performance of the three main players of the Nuggets.

In this game, Nuggets star Jokic still showed his strong dominance, scoring 44 points, 15 rebounds and 5 assists in the game, making 17 of 25 shots, and 5 of 7 three-pointers, with a very high shooting percentage. Su Qun praised Jokic: "Jokic played phenomenal data. His strong attack in the inside and stable output outside the three-point line made the Thunder's defense lose one's attention. He is the Nuggets' defensive needle, and both offense and defense can affect the game trend." However, Su Qun also pointed out that Jokic has few assists in this game, which is the success of the Thunder's defensive strategy. The Thunder adopted the tactic of not attacking Jokic and cutting off his contact with his teammates, which restricted Jokic from connecting the team. He only had 5 assists in the game and failed to get a triple-double in five consecutive games. The overall offensive fluency of the Nuggets was also affected.

Murray, as the core of the Nuggets' backcourt, contributed 28 points in this game. Su Qun believes that Murray performed well for most of the game and took on the heavy responsibility of scoring when Jokic was under key control, especially in the second and third quarters, his score stabilized the Nuggets' lead. But at the last critical moment of the game, Murray's performance was not outstanding enough and failed to give Jokic enough support on the offensive end. Su Qun said: "In the stalemate stage of the game, Murray needs to be more aggressive, take action more decisively or create opportunities for his teammates. He is a little invisible at the last moment, which is very unfavorable for the team's victory."

Michael Porter's performance was criticized, with 1 of 7 shots in the game and lost all three-pointers, scoring only 2 points. Su Qun said bluntly: "Michael Porter was completely lost in this game, had no touch on the offensive end, and missed three-pointers many times, wasting the team's offensive opportunities; his footsteps moved slowly on the defensive end and were broken through many times by Thunder players, becoming a defensive loophole on the team. In such a critical game, playing such data as the starting player is one of the important reasons for the Nuggets to lose." Looking back on the entire series, Porter's condition continued to be sluggish. Except for the third game, his performance in the rest of the games was not satisfactory, which seriously affected the Nuggets' overall strength.

The series is currently in a fierce stage, and the two sides will hold their sixth game at the Nuggets' home court. For the Nuggets, how to activate Michael Porter, improve Murray's performance at critical moments, and allow Jokic to better connect with the team when scoring efficiently is a problem they need to solve. Su Qun predicts that the Thunder and the Nuggets are very likely to usher in a tiebreak battle, and the subsequent matches of both sides are full of suspense.
