Nuggets 1-0 Thunder, Gordon s final victory, can the Thunder still defend the home court? Su Qun hit the nail on the head

Basketball

There are 3 super giants in the NBA this year with a record of more than 60 wins, but after entering the second round of the playoffs, the trend of the game was beyond the expectations of fans. The Cavaliers were overturned by the Pacers at home, while the Celtics were dragged into overtime by the Knicks while leading by 20 points and were eventually reversed. The Thunder also led by 18 points and 3 points in the last moment, but made a mistake in the final penalty shootout and was defeated by the Nuggets. All three powerful players failed, among which the Nuggets 1-0 Thunder, Gordon won the finale, can the Thunder still defend the home court? Su Qun hit the nail on the head. In the regular season, the Thunder won 68 and the Nuggets only had 50 wins. This game was at the Thunder home court, and the outside world predicted that the Thunder could win easily. The Thunder did play dominant power, leading by up to 18 points, and still has an advantage of 10 points in the final quarter, even in the last 12 seconds, it is still 3 points ahead. But head coach Dagenot adopted a conservative penalty tactic. With Jokic and Gordon making all four free throws, and Chett lost all two free throws, Dagenot not only wasted two timeouts, but was beaten by Gordon three-pointer.

Judging from the whole game, Alexander still performed as a superstar, scoring 33 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists, and was frequently double-teamed in the final quarter. Caruso was the surprise, scoring 20 points, 6 assists and 5 steals, with impeccable performance. However, the other core players performed poorly. The second in charge Jaylen Williams only made 5 goals in 20 attempts. Although Chet had a strong block, he dunked the empty basket at the end, missed the tip-in and lost 2 free throws, which ruined the good game. Hartten was beaten by Jokic. In terms of the Nuggets, Jokic needs to say more, scoring an epic data of 42 points, 22 rebounds and 6 assists. Gordon also scored 22 points and 14 rebounds, and made a three-pointer finale. Westbrook transformed into a bench gangster, scoring 18 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists.

The Thunder made frequent mistakes in the last quarter, while the Nuggets seized the opportunity. Jokic, Gordon and Westbrook performed impeccably. After winning G1, the Nuggets took the initiative. Not only did they get the home advantage, but they only needed to win 1-2 games in the next three games and they were basically stable.

For this game, the commentator Su Qun also gave his own comments: "Gordon has a final blow again. The Thunder played too conservatively in the second half, especially in the last 5 minutes. He focused on knocking out Jokic, who was fouled by five fouls, but Jokic successfully resolved it. Instead, he walked on the free throw line again and again, approaching the score until Gordon scored three-pointer. This round of the series was aimed at the tiebreaker." In Su Qun's view, this round of the series was aimed at the tiebreaker, so the Thunder G2 had a great chance of winning. In the second game of the

series, the Thunder will solve Jokic's problem. How the Twin Towers limit Jokic's personal score is an important issue. Secondly, the second leader Jaylen Williams must regain his form, especially when the Nuggets double-team Alexander, Jayway needs to stand up, otherwise the Thunder will be difficult to play.
