Harden scored 28 points and helped self-salvation, the Clippers dragged into tiebreak! Powell broke out, Leonard 27+10
On May 2, the NBA playoffs ushered in a focus battle, and the Clippers returned to their home court to play against the Nuggets. Previously, the Nuggets led the Clippers 3-2 to get the match point in this round of series. As the series deepened, the balance gradually turned to the Nuggets. The Clippers face several major problems, first of all, the frame protection is not done well! G3 was scored by Gordon's tip-off, and after G4 was forced to shrink its defense, the Nuggets scored 17 three-pointers from the outside, losing sight of one and the other. Secondly, Harden's overall performance in the playoffs also went straight downward, from 32 points in G1 to 18 points, 20 points and 15 points in the next game, and 3 of 9 shots and only scored 11 points. The more critical the game, Harden's more sluggish, did not dare to attack, made continuous mistakes, and even missed free throws and layups. Simply put, the mental attributes are too poor.
In the words of Los Angeles media, Leonard's performance was not good! Except for G2 who broke out and scored 39 points, the other games were around 20 points. Harden has been working hard to support the bottom of the team throughout the regular season. In the playoffs, Leonard should have supported the team's upper limit, but under the heavy pressure of his opponents, he has more and more assists. After the last game, even Tyron Lue was a little pessimistic: I know we want to change, but I don’t know how to change. However, Tyron Lue also took the initiative to take responsibility, saying that the responsibility for Harden's misperforming performance lies in the coaching staff, and the team must put him in a better position. Data shows that Harden has only won three of the 15 G6 games in his career. According to the prediction given by the US media "BR", the Nuggets' Promotion Probation Probation is 72.7%.
Nuggets seem to have changed a team in the past two games. From Gordon's final score to Murray's last game, he scored 43 points with only one free throw in the last game. More and more teammates are standing up. However, in ESPN's words, even if the Nuggets pass the Clippers level, they are unable to challenge the Thunder. The team only has a 6-man rotation mode, and Jokic consumes too much. If the team is not fully equipped this summer, Jokic may also propose to leave. After all, Jokic has expressed dissatisfaction many times this season. Back to the game, the Nuggets start: Murray + Brian + Porter + Gordon + Jokic; the Clippers start: Harden + Dunn + Powell + Leonard + Zubac. Dunn made a layup + Zubac's throw, Murray's military training Dunn + emergency stop jump shot tied!
Harden scored a layup against Jokic. Powell felt good, and Jokic immediately responded to the three-pointer. Harden and Murray competed in the middle, and after Gordon dunked, Ka and Powell took turns to play singles. In the second half, Murray continued to throw three-pointers + counterattack layup, and the Clippers really couldn't stop him. However, at the end of the quarter, Leonard made a difficult backward jump shot + Batum's three-pointer to stabilize the situation. In the first quarter, the Clippers 25-28 Nuggets. Entering the second quarter, Harden began to attack and cause damage, Bogdan just made a makeover, Harden continued to convert and layup, stopping the Nuggets in a wave. Leonard cut and dunk in the middle, Harden made a layup against the board, Harden continued to make a three-pointer foul, and scored a three-pointer against Jokic. Harden swept the haze of the last game and stopped the Nuggets again!
In a critical moment, Jokic and Westbrook blossomed inside and outside, and Harden continued to take three-pointers without any solution, but Westbrook and Jokic were only 1 point away from chasing. Leonard responded with hook and open three-pointer. At the end of the quarter, Watson and Jokic scored 5 points in a row. The Clippers 58-57 in the first half. Harden scored 21 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists in the first half, and Jokic scored 20 points! Entering the second half, Brian made a layup, and Batum immediately responded to three-pointers! Powell rode an archery + Xiaoka scored three points to stop the Nuggets. Porter Jr. and Brian fired continuously from the outside, Powell and Leonard played singles, and Powell's thunderstorm dunk made his boss Ballmer excited. In the second half, Ka and Powell fought back in turn. After Gordon and Brian stopped the bleeding, Powell immediately responded to three-pointers.
Jones Jr. and Zubac made an internal and external shot at the end of the quarter. After the third quarter, the Clippers led the Nuggets 90-79. In the fourth quarter of the final battle, Leonard made a mid-range jump shot, Harden scored his own shot, and then Jones received a pass from Kat to continue with three points! The Clippers are becoming more and more confident the more they play. Xiaoka has no solution to jump shot, and Harden has three-pointers and 100-step pass! Westbrook and Watson chased the score in the middle, and Bogdan responded with three points. In the last 5 minutes, Powell made a free throw, Gordon scored a three-pointer, and Murray made a layup and stopped the Clippers. Powell continued to throw three-pointers, Gordon made a tip-in, and in the last minute, Westbrook made a layup with Batum, and Brian caught the free throw to only 5 points. Harden made a mistake in dribbling, and Jokic also made a layup! Xiao Ka killed the game with a free throw, and the Clippers finally defeated the Nuggets 111-105, with a big score of 3-3, and the two sides fought to tie the seventh!
