Real men, absolutely real men.
With a second-degree hamstring strain, Gordon still started the game......
"When was your most glorious moment? And I, right now. ”
In the first half, Gordon played 17 minutes, giving everything on both offensive and defensive ends, contributing 8 points and 8 rebounds to a double-double, but his sacrificial comeback could not awaken the fighting spirit of his teammates.
Yes, at the end of the first half, the Nuggets trailed the Thunder 46-60, and the seven-tiebreaker that should have been a desperate fight turned into a one-sided massacre.
thought that after entering the second half, the Nuggets would be able to wake up and launch a fierce counterattack, but in the end, reality gave the ideal a hard punch, and the Thunder 37-26 in the third quarter, directly extending the lead to as many as 25 points.
Don't expect a miracle in the final quarter, because it's impossible to make a super comeback in the first quarter of a team that has long dominated the league's top defensive efficiency standings, and the Thunder are among the league's top teams in offensive efficiency.
When there were more than 9 minutes left in the final quarter, the Nuggets, who realized that the general trend had gone, took the initiative to surrender.In the end, he lost 93-125 to the Thunder, losing by as many as 32 points, and the series was officially eliminated 3-4, good night Denver.
Congratulations to the Thunder, who became the last team to advance to the division finals against the Timberwolves; The Eastern Conference Finals are Pacers vs. Knicks. Of the four teams, only the Knicks have won a championship, and it goes back to 1973.
This game benefited from the fact that the final quarter was almost all garbage time, and the Thunder were all on the line, Alexander scored 35 points, plus 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals, and led the team to win the series with the Nuggets, which means that the MVP of the season will officially belong to him.
But the MVP of this game, 100% belongs to Aaron Gordon, who risked his career, contributing 8 points and 11 rebounds in 25 minutes, including the most rebounds on the team.
Looking at the data table of the Nuggets team, the plus/minus of several cores is all miserable, Jokic -23, Murray -21, and Wei Shao on the bench is fault-based -34. According to statistics, in the series with the parent team Thunder, except for G1, Wei Shao's plus and minus values are all negative.The total plus/minus of the seven games is -92.
It's over, Wei Shao, who tried to hug the Nuggets' thighs to win the championship this season, still failed to do so, this guy has a player option in his hand this summer offseason, and may choose to start the next stop of his career, good luck to him no matter what!
