7:40pm, 17 May 2025【Basketball】

The first four games of the two sides were evenly matched and tied 2-2. The game was quite anxious. It was also the most intense group in the semi-finals of the four groups. It can also be said to be the most exciting group. The stars gathered, the MVP and the quasi-MVP were duel, and the traffic was full!

Jokic had experienced six times in his career, and won all six games, four of which advanced to the next round.

In 2019, he won 108-90 with the Spurs Tianwangshan in the first round, and finally advanced 4-3;

In 2019, he won 124-98 with the Trail Blazers Tianwangshan in the second round, and finally eliminated 3-4;

In 2021, he won 147-140 with the Trail Blazers Tianwangshan in the first round, and finally advanced 4-2;

In 2023, he won 118-102 with the Sun Tianwangshan in the second round, and finally advanced 4-2;

In 2025, he won 131-115 with the Clippers Tianwangshan in the first round and finally advanced 4-3.

In 2025, the second round with Thunder Heavenly King Mountain was very regrettably lost, 105-112, the result is unknown!

In this game, the first half was very anxious. The Thunder and Nuggets had almost no one-sided match. In the first half, the Nuggets had a very strong away offensive. They performed very well, had too strong personal ability, had very stable shooting, and were also quite stable in three-pointers. In addition, Murray and Gordon also performed quite well. At the end of the half, 56-54, the Thunder was 2 points behind. At the end of the first half, the Nuggets were quite a pity. They were once led by 12 points, and the Thunder was also very fierce in chasing points. They almost tied the team in the first half, which was difficult to tell. The Thunder players were not particularly dazzling in the first half, and Alexander did not perform at a normal level, and only scored 11 points in the half. The Thunder's disadvantage mainly lies in the inside line, and they lost too many rebounds!

In the third quarter, the Nuggets scored 30 points in a single quarter, Jokic performed better, but the Thunder's offensive was not as good as the first half, and only scored 24 points in a single quarter. At the end of the three quarters, 78-86, the Thunder fell 8 points behind. In the fourth quarter, Dort hit three-pointers in a row, 90-92, and the Thunder chased the score difference to only 2 points. When it was timed, the suspense of the game came back! After the timeout, Braun fouled and Jaylen Williams made both free throws to tie the score. This game is interesting, let's see who can catch the last five minutes? The two sides fought to 94-94, 96-96, 98-98, 100-100. The intensity of the game can be imagined. They really don’t give in to each other and feel very good. Both sides have come and go, and Alexander scored 2+1 against Murray. Although his overall performance was not very good, Alexander was still very hard at the critical moment. At the critical moment, the Nuggets still had to watch Jokic, who hit a three-pointer on horseback and archery, which stunned the audience on the sidelines. Jaylen Williams was also not ruthless and scored three-pointers at the open space, and the star played a role at the critical moment! The Nuggets came back from a timeout, Alexander hit a three-pointer, Porter Jr. missed a three-pointer, Gordon missed a three-pointer, and the Nuggets adopted a foul tactic, so there was almost no suspense in the game. The Thunder's two three-pointers were too hard at the last moment! At the end of the game, the Nuggets lost to the Thunder 105-112 away.

The game was really frustrating, almost leading the game, and collapsed in the last two minutes. The Nuggets lost the battle of the King of Heaven, Jokic's Battle of the King of Heaven, and the record of six victories ended.

I really can't help but my teacher, and my performance is already quite good! However, Braun, Porter Jr. and Westbrook felt really bad. He shot 26 times in total and only made 5 times, including 2 of 16 three-pointers, with a total plus-minus value of -18. Of course, Murray is not much better!
