10:14pm, 15 May 2025【Basketball】

The Nuggets returned to Denver with 1:1. Although they lost the game, they were still very satisfied. Their plateau home court is very terrifying, and they also have richer game experience. As long as the game is dragged to the last critical moment, they have a huge chance of winning. The few games played against the Clippers and G1 proved that they were the team in the league that best played in critical moments. They have the unsolved teacher, Super Key Mr. Murray and Batman Gordon.

The matches were the same as in the previous two games. The Thunder led the game with their youthful vitality, and the game once again entered the critical moment that the Nuggets expected.

Both sides' defenses are extremely targeted, especially restrictions on superstars on both sides. Yoo Teacher made only 8 of 25 shots in the game, 0 of 10 three-pointers, only 6 assists, and 8 turnovers. Apart from one play one, he had almost no simple scoring opportunities.

Thunder made consecutive steals and missed a three-pointer with a teacher. This year's MVP hottest Alexander was even more restricted. He only made 7 of 22 shots in the game and 1 of 6 three-pointers. His first breakthrough in the league almost disappeared. At the most critical moment of the game, he repeatedly made three-pointers bet on his touch, and the continuous passing of the teammates ended with extreme confusion on the offensive end.

Alexander's breakthrough through Murray is one of the few highlights in this game

When both sides' leading stars are restricted, it depends on which role player can stand up and take the game away. But it is obvious that the Nuggets have rich experience in this situation. When Harden and the first half of the G7 in the first round were restricted, the Nuggets' role players went through the test, and Porter, Westbrook, and Gordon all became the ones who stood up.

And the same is true for this game. At the critical moment, Batman Gordon stepped forward again and tied a three-pointer to announce his efforts throughout the season. The game enters overtime.

Murray passed to the open spot in the bottom corner, Gordon scored a three-pointer;

overtime, I got the first goal in singles, Murray assisted Porter to score another three-pointer, Murray intercepted one-stop, Gordon received the pass from the teacher and killed the game again in the middle distance, almost every player in the team made contributions, and the extremely calm Westbrook contributed many steals on the defensive end. Such a Nuggets are extremely terrifying. As everyone has proved, basketball is a game of the ultimate team, and no one can surpass the team.

After Murray broke through, he passed it to Porter on the outside. Porter made a super jump shot, and Murray made a fatal jump shot after a fatal steal, and then scored a one-stop layup. Gordon received a pass from a teacher and killed the mid-range jump shot to kill the suspense of the game. The Thunder was taught a lesson because he was too young. When the opponent's defense intensity was the same as the Thunder, the advantages they usually gained from defense were gone. When they could not make too many counterattacks, their shortcomings of unstable position three-pointers were infinitely amplified.

If Alexander could not easily break through one-on-one, the only person they could rely on was Jewe. In this game, Jewe scored 32 pieces and almost led the Thunder to win by himself.

Jewe's three-pointer almost killed the game. There is no doubt that Jewe is the most trustworthy player at the critical moment of this game.

Thunder lost again. Although Alexander has a good mentality and can leave the game with a smile at the end of the game, there is not much time left for them to adjust. The opposite side is a team with extremely tenacious and rich game experience. If they cannot maintain the stability of the offense, they may be a regretful result for two consecutive years.
