After the Nuggets defeated the Thunder at home, the score reached 2:1. With the outside world unanimously optimistic about the Thunder, the Nuggets created miracles again, especially in the last game with a crushing defeat of 40+, becoming the fourth team in history to do this. We have to praise the Nuggets for their ability to adjust tactics and self-confidence. After the game, the team coach Adelman talked about the key to winning the game - the championship experience.
Adelman said in an interview: In the final stage of the game, you can rely on what you have seen and done before, as if you were back a few years ago. At the last moment of this game, the Nuggets showed the experience of a champion team, and the Thunder clearly lacked this point, which is a mistake that young teams are likely to make. The team has made two mistakes at critical moments in this round of series, resulting in losses. The Thunder players have obviously lacked their experience in playoffs.
In addition, Adelman also talked about his defense against Alexander in the interview, saying that this was the best defense against his forearm movements since the series, and he had created too much space through this. It is obvious that Adelman is very dissatisfied with Alexander's offensive action, believing that his forearm opening on the offensive end gives him too many opportunities, and the Nuggets did a good job of this restriction in this game.
When talking about the next G4, Adelman believes that Alexander will recover his form in the next game, so the Nuggets have great challenges in defense. After all, they are MVP-level players and will not be sluggish all the time, but the Nuggets win G3 by excellent defense, plus the big score lead and home games. The Nuggets have a greater chance of winning the game than the Thunder. If the Nuggets can win two home games in a row, they can almost lock in the Western Conference Finals.
If the Nuggets can advance to the Western Conference Finals this season and reach the finals to win the championship, the championship will be of great value. There are many internal problems within the team. When the coach is fired near the playoffs and the main rotation lineup is only 7 people, if you can still achieve such results in such an environment, Jokic's historical status will be greatly improved.
In contrast, if the Thunder fails to reach the finals this season, many core members of the team will usher in their contract year. Jewish, Homgren and others will all strive for big contracts. Judging from the historical actions of the management, it is difficult for the Thunder to leave several core members with high salary at the same time, and the team may disintegrate and rebuild again.
