After many days of hard battles in the NBA playoffs this season, the Eastern Conference Finals match has been released. The Knicks and the Pacers will compete for a ticket to the Finals. In the Western Conference, the Timberwolves have successively beaten the Lakers and Warriors, two teams with high attention, and they are the first to enter the division finals. Their opponent will be the winner between the Nuggets and the Thunder. After six fierce battles, the Nuggets and Thunders tied with a big score of 3 and will decide the ownership of the promotion quota through the brutal tiebreak battle.
On this match day, the Thunder returned to Russia City and played against the Nuggets at home. In this game, Aaron Gordon's appearance caught the Nuggets off guard against the Thunder in the first quarter. However, under the leadership of Alexander and Jaylen Williams, the home team quickly stabilized their position and finally defeated the Nuggets 125-93 and advanced to the Western Conference Finals with their heads raised.
[Match Highlights]
The Nuggets, who fought seven games in the first round, struggled to eliminate the Clippers' Nuggets. The prospect of advancing in the semi-finals was not optimistic, but it has to be said that they played very tenaciously. In the absence of the Battle of Tianwang Mountain, they defeated the Thunder at home in the sixth game, saving the suspense of promotion, but they also paid the price of Aaron Gordon's injury.
Porter Jr. previously stated in an interview that he was fighting with injuries and planned to get pain relief injections before tiebreaking seven so that he could play on the court to help the team. Although Aaron Gordon and Porter Jr. both started, it was still very difficult for many of the Nuggets who fought with injuries to win and advance in the away game.
[Match Review]
In this life-and-death battle, Jokic is still the most stable player in the Nuggets. With the focus of Harten's whole game, Teacher Yo still contributed 20 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists with his performance in 5 of 9.
However, the poor performance of his teammates made the Nuggets fall into a desperate situation of being behind in a big score early. Murray only performed 6 of 16 in this game. Aaron Gordon, who started, only scored 8 points. Westbrook, who was highly anticipated, was even beaten in the old place in this game. The positive and negative value of -34 was at the bottom of the team. It can be seen how poor Westbrook's performance on the defensive end was, and it directly staged an Infernal Affairs.
Thunder were able to win a big victory at home, and the dual-core Alexander and Jaylen Williams made an indelible contribution. When the team was behind in the first quarter, Jaylen Williams scored 17 points in the second quarter. Relying on his single quarter, the Thunder reversed the decline in one fell swoop. After the four quarters, Jaylen Williams also scored a comprehensive personal data of 24+5+7+1.
Alexander maintained a stable output throughout the game. Under the Nuggets' strict defense, he still maintained the terrifying efficiency of 12 goals with 19 shots and hit 12 goals. In the end, he filled the data bar with 35 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals and 1 block. In addition, Alexander did not make a mistake in the whole game, becoming the team's decisive needle in this game. Driven by the dual cores, a total of five players in the Thunder scored in double-digit points, laying a solid foundation for a home victory.
With the end of this game, the Western Conference Finals matchup this season is also released. The Thunder led by Alexander and the Timberwolves led by Edwards will stage a peak showdown. Who can win this strongest youth army battle and stand on the stage of the finals, let's wait and see.
