The Nuggets will face the Thunder in the second round on the 6th, and they will also be the acting coachAdelmanAfter winning on the 4th, he bluntly said that although the series with the Clippers is very memorable, it is even more urgent to prepare for the next round, the two teams have won 2 of the 4 times in the regular season, and this season's MVP favorites Jokic and Kyrgyz Alexander will face each other.

Jokic played well with his teammates yesterday, playing 32 minutes and handing over 16 points, 10 rebounds, and 8 assists, and finally no longer alone, "We know that in the playoffs, everyone has to jump out on both ends of the floor, and everyone on the court has to contribute to the team. ”

In addition to scoring 21 points, Brown also allowed the opposing team's main Harden to score only 7 points on 2-of-8 shooting on the defensive end, and he learned from the experience of being eliminated by the Timberwolves in the second round of G7 last year, and decided not to leave regrets in the life-and-death battle, "I want to contribute to the battle where the team has a chance to advance, and thanks to the trust of my teammates." ”

The Clippers won 18 of the last 21 games of the regular season, and the forced pull of the late handicap also made the playoff situation very favorable, but still suffered a round of tours for three consecutive seasons, Harden, who only scored 7 points, left the court directly yesterday without being interviewed, and Renard scored a team-high 22 points.
