The first round of the NBA playoffs is coming to an end. The specific situation is as follows: Thunder 4-0 Grizzlies, Nuggets 3-2 Clippers, Rockets 2-3 Warriors, Lakers 1-4 Timberwolves, Cavaliers 4-0 Heat, Pacers 4-1 Bucks, Celtics 4-1 Magic, Knicks 3-2 Pistons. The Thunder, Cavaliers, Pacers, Celtics and Timberwolves advanced first with the depth advantage of lineup, which is well deserved; the Knicks and the Warriors hold match points and control the initiative in the series, which is also what everyone hopes to do; the Denver Nuggets can force the Los Angeles Clippers into a desperate situation, but they are more or less a bit distorted by the will of heaven.

Nuggets and Clippers both had 50 wins and 32 losses in regular season, but their situations were very different! On the Nuggets, they are strong in offense and weak in defense, and Jokic is both a father and a mother. The depth of the lineup can be seen from the naked eye. The coach Malone was fired before the start of the playoffs; on the Clippers, they are strong in their troops, and they have enough cards to play on both ends of offense and defense, and champion coach Tyron Lu is in charge. Especially before the playoffs started, the Clippers were in full swing, and countless people were optimistic that the Clippers could defeat the Nuggets! In the series G1, the two teams faced the top of the team, and the winner was decided until overtime. The Clippers made a fatal mistake at the decisive moment and were intercepted by Westbrook. Jokic used a free throw to defend the home court. In the series G2, the two teams took the lead from beginning to end more than ten times. Xiaoka started the killing mode, scored 39 points on 15 of 19 shots, and at the decisive moment, one attack and one defense to set the world. The Clippers rewritten the big score of the series to 1-1; after returning to home, the Clippers took advantage of the victory and chased the Nuggets with a 34-point victory, and rewritten the big score of the series to 2-1. After the first three games of the

series, the whole world's impression is very consistent: the Clippers can play more cards, the Nuggets can dismantle fewer tricks, the Clippers firmly control the initiative in the series, and the situation is very good! Little did they know that the Clippers underestimated the Nuggets' fighting spirit and determination, and the latter quietly changed their fate! In the series G4, the Nuggets made a huge lead of 22 points. The Clippers made a strong blow to level the score difference for a while, but the Nuggets escaped with the final three-pointer after Jokic missed a winning three-pointer and escaped with Gordon's God's substitution. This is the first buzzer-beating finale in NBA history! In the battle of Kings Mountain, Murray asked the gods to ask Jordan to score 43 points, Westbrook's strength was regressed to 8 years ago and scored 21 points on the bench, while Harden pulled to the end, and the Nuggets defeated the Clippers with a 16-point victory!

From being disgraced by the whole world to holding the series match point, the Nuggets changed their fate against the will and took the initiative in the series in their own hands. It seemed thrilling, but in fact there was a reason for it! If we want to trace the root cause, the key is that Jokic's ability to provide protection is too strong, and there are always people who stand up to reduce the burden on him! In the series G1, Jokic scored 29 points + 9 rebounds + 12 assists to cover the bottom, Westbrook was an offensive and defensive surprise, with a cold-blooded three-pointer and overtime stealing Harden, which was amazing; in the series G4, Jokic scored 36 points + 21 rebounds + 8 assists to cover the bottom, Gordon made a defensive defensive; in the battle of Tianwang Mountain, Jokic scored 13 points + 10 rebounds + 12 assists to cover the bottom, and Murray and Westbrook combined with two swords is the key to the Nuggets' easy victory.

If you survive a disaster, you will have good fortune in the future; those who help themselves will help God help them! Jokic made the point when the Nuggets won the Battle of Tianwangshan. He said bluntly: When Murray is our best player, we are a dangerous team! That's right, the Nuggets won the first championship in team history that year, relying on the basic base of the Yomu combination, and also relying on the character puzzles such as Gordon, Porter Jr., Pope, Bruce Brown. Now, Jokic has not only waited for the strongest form of Murray, but also Gordon, Porter Jr., Braun, and Westbrook have stepped forward like mushrooms after a rain to help! At least from the current situation, as long as these people can help Jokic, the entire league cannot underestimate this Nuggets. After all, Jokic is recognized as the league's largest killer! Fans, what do you think about this? Let me leave me a comment and discuss it.
