Thunder s inside star G2 made all free throws, and history will not repeat itself!
Thunder G2 really put the Nuggets on the ground and rubbed them! Homgren, who was defeated in the last game, was a sure-fire free throw in this game, and it was a testament to himself. The entire Thunder team opened fire with a 43-point victory, directly tied the series. This plot reversed and was exciting!
Having said that, the G1 Nuggets won the game, and Jokic's final kill was indeed great, but on the Thunder, Homgren missed two free throws in the last moment, which is indeed a bit regrettable. After the game, many fans on the Internet said that Homegren had a bad mentality and lost his links at critical moments. Before the G2 game, the Nuggets were not idle either. When head coach Ma Long was interviewed, he directly told him to continue putting pressure on the Thunder and strive to win two consecutive home wins. What about the result of
? Thunder broke out directly! From the first quarter, I was playing against the Nuggets and didn't give me any chance at all. Homgren obviously adjusted his mentality in this game. He was very enthusiastic on the defensive end and dared to take action on the offensive end. The most important thing is that the free throws are as stable as an old dog, and he made all seven free throws. This psychological quality must be praised! In addition to Homegren, other Thunder players also performed well. Alexander is still the team's engine. He can also score points while sorting out the offense. Also, players like Jaylen Williams and Dort have contributed their strength. In this game, the Thunder won in a holistic manner, and the whole team played more dynamic and aggressively. On the other hand, although Jokic still outputs stably, the other players' status is obviously not online, the offensive end cannot open the situation, and the defensive end is full of loopholes. After losing, Nuggets head coach Ma Long looked ashen and said nothing in an interview, probably holding his breath.
Homgren's performance this season is indeed eye-catching. He averaged 15 points, 8 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per game in the regular season, which is quite good for a rookie, and his three-point shooting percentage is close to 40%, which makes him even more threatening on the offensive end. However, Homgren's physical ability to fight needs to be improved. After all, he is still too thin and is prone to suffer losses when fighting in the inside line.
Some people also compare him with Wenban Yama. Both of them are tall and long inside players, and they also have excellent shooting ability. From the current point of view, Homgren's performance in his rookie season is slightly better, but Wenban Yama has higher talent and greater future development potential. The routes of the two are still different. Wenban Yama prefers all-round players, while Homgren is more like a space-type inside player.
It is worth mentioning that Homgren's draft pick is not very high, but only the second pick. You know, the Magic team, who had the No. 1 pick, chose Paul Bankairo. Now it seems that the Thunder has picked up a treasure. The arrival of Homgren has qualitatively improved the Thunder's inside strength. Some people say that the rise of the Thunder is inseparable from the draft. Durant, Westbrook, and Harden are all obtained through the draft. Now, Alexander and Homgren have taken on the Thunder's banner again. The big victory of
G2 is of great significance to the Thunder. It not only equalized the total score of the series, but more importantly, it enhanced the team's morale and confidence. Homgren, in particular, proved himself through this game and also made those who question him shut up. However, the series is still long, and the Thunder will need to put in more effort to defeat the defending champion Nuggets. The next two games will be played at the Thunder at home. I believe the Thunder will seize the opportunity and strive to win the home advantage. As for the Nuggets, they need to adjust their state as soon as possible and find their rhythm. Otherwise, it may be difficult to win away games.
After this game, there were more discussions about Homegren online. Many fans said that Homegren's psychological quality is really strong, and being able to quickly adjust his state after the last game is a rare opportunity for a young player. Some fans also joked that Homgren was "being shameless and brave" and made up for all the free throws that he didn't score in the last game. Some people also say that the Thunder really has potential and the future is promising!
