7 players rotate to defeat the Thunder! Alexander made the culprit of losing 15 shots in 22? The two should take the blame

On May 10, the NBA playoffs continued. Everyone should know the results of the Nuggets and Thunder today. The Nuggets defeated the Thunder 113-104. In this game, the Thunder gave people the feeling that their mentality collapsed. I hope they can adjust it in the next step. What young teams fear the most is the explosion of mentality. There is nothing to say about the process of this game. Those who have never seen the game can read the article I posted before. Next, let’s talk about what I saw from the game.

Both MVPs of both sides were pulled. Jokic played badly because he was too tired. In order to win this game, the Nuggets participated in a rotation of 7 players. Jokic fought for 43 minutes, made 8 of 25 shots in the game, scored 0 of 10 three-pointers, scored 20 points, 16 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, and had 8 mistakes. Although he performed poorly, Jokic scored 4 points in 2 of 2 overtime and gave 1 assist. Compared to Alexander, he only dared to pass the ball in overtime, and looked more responsible.

Alexander made 7 of 22 shots in the game, 1 of 6 three-pointers and scored 18 points, 13 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals. Alexander is still young. Maybe he is the MVP of this season, but Jokic is still a better player. It turns out that Alexander, who has no whistle, has limited dominance on the offensive end. Perhaps we should understand that many MVPs are promoted by the league. Embiid and Alexander now have won the scoring champion in the regular season.

Alexander played very well in the fourth quarter. Jewe scored 5 points at the critical moment to help the team establish a 3-point lead. Gordon tied with three-pointers. Alexander would definitely be strictly guarded in the last attack. It was a wiser choice to make Jewe play. Moreover, Jewe performed well in this game. He made 11 of 21 shots, scored 32 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists, and one man scored 16 points in the fourth quarter. With such a performance, he had no problem playing the last attack, but Alexander still played.

Alexander made 1 of 8 in the fourth quarter, and played just like the top, with all kinds of three-pointers and ultra-long middle distances, and frantically hitting irons. He didn't dare to play in overtime. As a star, you either play reasonably like James, or you learn from Kobe. I can bear the loss alone. I just play by myself. He doesn't have that courage. So I talked about the issue that the mentality of Thunder players may collapse, because I was afraid that Alexander's mentality would collapse, so it would be difficult for them to defeat the Nuggets.

Alexander was responsible for losing this game, but he was not the culprit. The two should be blamed more than him. One is Homegren. Chet's team originally hoped that he would become a top gate, similar to the role of Thick Brow, or could improve a large defensive area like Wenban. As a result, Gordon made two key three-pointers against him, and completed the final kill for the first time facing him. This time Gordon left the money to catch Chet's defense missing person. In this game, Chet made 7 of 19 shots in the game, made 1 of 6 three-pointers, scored 18 points, 16 rebounds, 1 steal and 3 blocks. The defensive data could not show his harm to the team.

Two key defensive mistakes were made in two games, and G1 in the series also missed two free throws. If the Thunder stopped in the second round again this season, I think they might not have reached the height of the third young man that year and would have disintegrated. Chet may be the first to leave. After all, he and Jewish both faced a large contract renewal in the offseason. Although Chet was amazing enough, his performance, health, and ability to confrontation were not ideal at critical moments.

In addition to Chet, Dagenot should also take the blame. The first game of the two teams in the series, I don’t know if you remember that the Nuggets did not pause at that time. At the critical moment, Dagenot called timeouts continuously, which was equivalent to giving the right phone. Moreover, because there were too many timeouts, Gordon hit a winning three-pointer, the team did not pause to arrange tactics, and could only throw a long three-pointer, missing too many opportunities. Dagenot’s tactical system is very good, but his experience is too lacking.

The same is true in this game. Alexander clearly didn't play well. He didn't know how to let Jevi play at the critical moment. Isaiahjo is the best scorer in the team in the playoffs so far. As a result, this game took 4 minutes and was not used. He was too obsessed with the defensive intensity in the backcourt, so he forgot that the team needed more space. Alexander didn't have much space to play in the middle distance now. Hatten was on the court, and the opponent let out an unstable three-pointer. If Alexander broke through, the opponent might have three people hit him. Isn't it normal to be inefficient?

This is why Alexander kept throwing three-pointers and long-range mid-range shots in the final quarter. There was no chance to go in. Dagenut's ability to adapt to the situation is now at the same level as Lao Li. The team cannot fight back, and he has no other strategies to score. In this game, the Nuggets reduced the passes and increased singles, and also accelerated the return to defense. The Thunder's defensive counterattack cannot be hit, and the offense was also pinched to the main artery. If it cannot be adjusted and both sides will be able to grind the position, the Thunder will be in danger.
