7 wins and 7 losses, I regret to miss the championship! The most frustrated super giant in the season, it s time for you to apply for a trade and leave the team
After more than a month of fierce competition in the playoffs this season, only three teams are still within the competition range. The Thunder finally won the championship in the West, while the Pacers led the Knicks with a score of 3-2. In the G5 game, the Pacers started seriously sluggish and obviously did not want to win. Judging from various analysis of the US media, the Pacers' players seem to want to return to their home court and win the Eastern Conference Championship trophy under the witness of tens of thousands of fans. However, judging from the five games in the Eastern Conference Finals, Halliburton's upper limit is very high, but the lower limit is also very low. He can defeat the Bucks, the Cavaliers, and throw the buzzer-beating ball into overtime, but there are also many games with single digits. The overall performance is very ups and downs, and there are no stable data contribution that the team boss should have.
The Knicks have a bigger problem. Brunson is usually more than 30, and Towns is also very stable in the substitute. Only the starting five tigers are together, and the team keeps losing points. Thibodeau did not increase to 9-10 man rotation until the Eastern Conference Finals, achieving certain results, but the starting lineup throughout the season was still too tiring. Now it is only relieved and cannot be completely improved. The Thunder has a 7-day break and a home advantage. According to the prediction given by the US media "BR", the Thunder's probability of winning the championship is 95%. Before the finals in the past 15 years, the probability of winning the championship is unique! Whether it is the Knicks or the Pacers, the Finals are likely to become the Thunder's dominance of the wedding dress, and it is only a matter of time before the Thunder wins the championship. Is Thunder invincible and hard to meet an opponent?
There is a team that has been ignored, Nuggets! The Nuggets won 50 wins and 32 losses in the regular season, ranking fourth in the Western Conference. The meritorious coach Ma Long became a victim of the team's internal struggle and was dismissed with general manager Booth. After Adelman Jr. took over the team, the Nuggets played only two rounds in the playoffs, defeating the Clippers 4-3 in the first round, and unfortunately losing to the Thunder 3-4 in the second round, with a total of 7 wins and 7 losses! But in the words of Denver media, if the Thunder eventually wins the championship, the Nuggets may be the second best team in the league, and only we once forced the Thunder into a desperate situation. The Nuggets' playoff journey is indeed tragic. To be precise, only 6 players rotate: Jokic averages 40 minutes per game, Murray averages 41 minutes per game, Gordon averages 37.5 minutes per game, Brian averages 38.8 minutes per game, Porter Jr., and Westbrook 24 minutes.
In the first round of the Clippers, there is some controversy over the referee's call partiality, but the real turning point was Gordon's dunk in G4, and Harden suddenly fell in the G5 game, and the Nuggets took the opportunity to get the match point and won 19 points in the tiebreak battle. Harden made 2 of 8 of the tiebreak games and scored only 7 points and 13 assists. After seven games, the Nuggets only had a 46-hour rest and continued to play against the Thunder. Unexpectedly, G1 won, and Gordon scored another three-pointer! Although G2 was a 43-point defeat, the Nuggets once led 2-1 when they returned to their home court. When G6 played against the edge of the cliff, Jokic scored 29 points + Murray scored 25 points + Brian scored 23 points again! Until the tiebreak battle, Gordon had a second-degree hamstring injury, Westbrook had a broken hand, Porter's shoulder injury, and Murray also had an ankle injury. He really fought all the bullets!
was finally defeated by 32 points! In just 29 days, the Nuggets are the most tenacious team in the playoffs, no doubt about it. In the words of US media, Alexander won this season's MVP + scoring champion + best team first team + Western Conference Final MVP may actually belong to Jokic. Jokic averaged 30 points, 12.7 rebounds and 10 assists per game in the regular season, and averaged 26 points, 13 rebounds and 8 assists per game in the playoffs. However, his helpers are not as strong as Alexander, and the Nuggets have no lineup to rotate. In addition to the outside world's aesthetic fatigue about Jokic, the league urgently needs to promote the younger Alexander to the top. As the Thunder gets closer and closer to the championship, Jokic actually missed various honors that originally belonged to him this season, including the championship.
But Jokic is going to be disappointed! The Nuggets must retain this framework, and their total salary will definitely exceed $200 million next year. Murray's 4-year super maximum salary will only take effect next season. Porter has 38.33 million, Gordon has 22.84 million US dollars, and Jokic's salary will also be 55.22 million next season. In the words of salary expert Pixar, the Nuggets management must find help for Jokic, but in fact it is difficult to move forward! Murray's maximum salary contract is destined to be a premium contract, and it is necessary to pay it back if you want to force it away; the Nuggets will not have a first-round pick that can be traded in the next six years, and only one first-round pick swap in 31 years can be used, so Murray cannot be given away at all. That can only be traded for Porter Jr., but Porter Jr.'s performance in the playoffs also made his contract a hot potato, and the Nuggets also have to prepare for Brian's contract extension.
Jokic has become the most regrettable superstar this season. The championship is so close and so far for Jokic, who is in the Nuggets. The cowardice and obsession of his ex-boyfriend Booth demanded that the team transition from old to old, delayed Jokic's two-year peak career. The team was completely bound in the future, and Murray's big contract was another problem. The key teams have no lineup depth. Even if they play in the playoffs, even if the starting spirit attributes are full, they have no durability at all. For Jokic, the best result is to apply to leave the team himself. He helped the Nuggets win the championship and worked hard afterwards. There is no regret.
