Tenacious, wild and aggressive, Nuggets head coach talks about "stubborn" Westbrook

David Adelman expressed his opinion on the impact of Russell Westbrook on the rotation in the Nuggets' series against the Clippers.

Russell Westbrook's unremitting efforts on the court won praise from Denver Nuggets interim head coach Davis Adelman.

Westbrook has developed many offensive scorers, rebounders and core skills throughout his career. This has attracted much attention, both positive and negative, but he still shows his potential as a key player on the bench.

Adelman reviews Westbrook's contribution to the Nuggets this season, according to Law Murray of The Athletic. Adelman's remarks show that he knows the former All-Star player's personality, which is the key to the Nuggets being able to defeat their opponents.

"Westbrook is Westbrook. He will play tough, wild, aggressive basketball. That's exactly what we want," Adelman said.

Russell Westbrook and the Nuggets' Next Plan

Although Russell Westbrook's peak form is no longer the same, he is still one of the essential players in the Nuggets' rotation.

Their first round series against the Los Angeles Clippers is a good example. In four of Westbrook's five games, they averaged 13.3 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists. His shooting percentage is as high as 39.6%, with three-point shooting percentage as high as 39.1%.

Whisbrook's shooting percentage is good and bad, he has been playing critically throughout the series. In the first game, he hit a key three-pointer, dragging the game into overtime, helping the Nuggets win; in the fifth game, he scored 21 points to help the Nuggets secure the victory.

Whether Westbrook scores or organizes the offense, the Nuggets have no doubts about his ability to participate in the game. To end the Clippers, they need him to stay active on both sides of the offense and defense.

Winning Game 6 will allow the Nuggets to advance to the Western Conference Semi-Finals, where they will face the top seed Oklahoma City Thunder. However, if they lose to the Clippers, they will face Game 7 at home on May 3, which will be an "unpredictable" game.
