Does Westbrook play the Clippers? The Nuggets only scored 8 points in the first quarter? The Thunder made 2 of 23 three-pointers and still won

On May 12, the NBA Playoff Western Conference Semi-finals Thunder challenged the Nuggets away, and the Nuggets led the Thunder 2-1 in the pre-match series!

At the beginning of today's game, both sides set the tone for the game: "Smash the iron"! That's right, it's a iron battle...

At the beginning of the first quarter, both sides came up to play three rounds first, until 1 and a half minutes in the first quarter, the first point of the game was late, and the Thunder team scored 2 points first!

However, the shooting feel of both sides was still very bad since then. It was not until 8 minutes and 56 seconds in the first quarter that the Nuggets won the first point of the game with Porter's free throws! The Thunder only scored 3 points (I used to blow Jokic one defense for three seconds)! Both sides played for more than 3 minutes at the beginning, and the score on the field was 3-1...

Anyway, fans who stayed up late to watch this game today can be so frustrated to the truth... The score of both sides ended the first quarter was the Thunder 17-8 Nuggets? That's right, the Nuggets only scored 8 points in the 12 minutes of a single quarter... and the total score of the two teams in the first quarter was only 25 points, tying the NBA historical playoffs record for the lowest score in a single quarter!

In addition, the Nuggets made 0 of 14 three-pointers in the first quarter? The Thunder team made 1 of 11 three-pointers? Only Dort scored a three-pointer in the first quarter... The rest of the people made a total of 0 of 24 shots?

This is a big story! Anyway, this game has the feeling of traveling back to the old Spurs 20 years ago! At the end of the final half, the Thunder led 6 points 42-36 away!

The Nuggets official also made the poster score wrong. In the end, Murray thought his three-point shot was crossing the line, and then added it back so the score was 42-36...

The two "MVP-level players" in this game today performed very mediocrely! Although Jokic scored 27 points and 13 rebounds today, his efficiency was actually not high! Alexander also scored 25 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists on the Thunder, but his performance was even worse! Especially at the last moment of the last quarter, he made the same mistake as G3. He made a series of irons and mistakes at critical moments and ruined today's game again...

The Thunder were able to win the Nuggets away today, and they were completely substitutes Caruso, Wiggins and Wallace were great! Otherwise, it might be 3-1 now

The shooting data of these two people in this round would be quite abstract! This is especially true outside the three-point line! At the main critical moments, I was crazy about three-pointers! Alexander is barely considered an outside player! Jokic is still so obsessed with three points at a critical moment? It is indeed a bit incomprehensible to not play the inside line that you are best at...

Playoff level confrontation, when all the stars are locked down, the test is the value of the substitute players in the team! The Clippers' substitute in the first round was not as good as Westbrook's performance, so they were eliminated! But when we came to the next round of the game, the young master was himself again?

Ship Record: When Westbrook faced the Clippers in the first round, his three-point shooting percentage was 41.9%? The outside hit rate even surpassed Curry at one point?

And to this day, Westbrook's three-point shooting percentage is 22.7%...
