Murray cheats, Strauser is brave, the Nuggets win the life-and-death battle, dragging the suspense of the victory to tiebreak

The Nuggets gradually regained their form. In the life-and-death battle on the verge of elimination, the Nuggets scored 12 three-pointers with a shooting percentage of 37.5%, dragging the suspense of the victory and loss to tiebreak. In the last eight quarters of the match against the Thunder, the Nuggets won seven quarters, and the teacher scored a total of 73 points and 29 rebounds, with a terrifying shooting percentage of 66.1%. He deserves to be the best player in the series. It is particularly worth noting that the Nuggets have gone through six rounds of tiebreaks in the past seven years, and the young Thunder has never had the corresponding experience.

The Nuggets, who passed the Gate of Hell at home, took the initiative in the series. The only thing the Nuggets have to do now is to maintain their feel and give the Thunder the fatal blow in the next away game. To a certain extent, the Nuggets' shooting feel on the outside is the winner of the series. Why did the Nuggets, whose form has recovered, suffer a big turnaround in the last game in G5? The reason is very simple, it is too tiring to ask the teacher. In every round of the game, the teacher had to fight one and two in the inside line, or even one and three. The Nuggets score was chiseled down one round after another with the help of the teacher. When the fourth quarter was reached, the teacher was blushed and warm, and he no longer had the strength to argue with others. Behind Teacher Yoo's exhaustion is the Nuggets' bad support from the outside: Jamal Murray has a cold touch, made only 10 of 27 shots in the game, and has no lethality in holding the ball; Aaron Gordon, Braun and Westbrook are not good at shooting, and it is not uncommon to hit the iron in an open position; Michael Porter, one of the few Nuggets' shooters, has suffered from shoulder injuries in this round of the series, and has never shot accurately in the entire series. The outside line was full of blacksmiths, so they could only force the teacher to Liangshan and fight unreasonably every round. After reaching the fourth quarter, he completely lost his strength and was exhausted by the Thunder. At home, the Nuggets' outside line completely changed its style. The bad flu wind and cold stimulated the power of the vast world in Murray's body. Just like a cheat, Murray can shoot Jaylen Williams in the middle distance, and can train Harten and Homgren outside the three-point line. He can make a three-pointer with a long three-pointer and can also keep breaking through and committing fouls. As a partner of the pick-and-roll, Murray, who has a hit feel, can attract defensive attention, which naturally helps Teacher Yo to relieve a lot of pressure. Today's teacher appointment does not require one to fight two, nor does it need to fight to the death. Most of the time, just one to fight one can solve the problem. Breaking Harten with his footsteps and destroying Homgren with his strength is a relaxed and pleasant little thing for the three-time MVP.

The Nuggets are not only Murray, but also Strother, who is in the second grade. Although the Nuggets marked Strauser as a shooter on the tactical board, this shooter has never proved his accuracy in high-intensity games. The Nuggets sent Strauser to the field to try, but unexpectedly, he became the surprise of the Nuggets' life-and-death battle. At the end of the third quarter, Strauser scored a "8-0" scoring climax by himself, laying the foundation for the Nuggets' victory. In this golden 8 points, there were two three-pointers. The first three-pointer came from the cooperation of the three-person team. Murray served the ball, and on the surface he wanted to play a "double-rot" pick-and-roll cooperation with the teacher. Unexpectedly, Strauser broke out from the diagonal stab, circled the arc, and used the "flare" cover of Teacher Yo's "open three-pointer". This unexpected cooperation made the entire Thunder team confused. How can you defend against thunder in a trance? They can only focus their defensive energy on Teacher Yo, based on the principle of defense, and the two defensive players retreated to the penalty area at the same time, scrambling to block Teacher Yo's line of cutting the penalty area. But I never thought that Strauser, who was helping God, would hit the empty seat as soon as he shot.

The second three-pointer was a classic "one-star shot" and asked the teacher to play behind his back in the penalty area, instantly attracting the defensive attention of up to three people in the Thunder. In the gap between the encirclement, the teacher asked the teacher to sweep the ball to Strauser with his light and pass the ball to the open position in the bottom corner. This sophomore rookie once again made her a hundred steps, giving the Nuggets' lead to double digits.

Obviously, in this round of the series with the Thunder, the dominance of the penalty area is the Nuggets' biggest advantage. But how to transform advantages into winning momentum is a science. The two games of G5 and G6 represent two different solutions to the Nuggets. G5, the Nuggets are playing hero basketball and want to kill Thunder with their own strength. But reality shows that the hero Ai Teacher only has the physical fitness of three quarters of competition. G6, the Nuggets play team basketball, and the outside shooter gives the teacher support, allowing the teacher to breathe, allowing the team's most lethal player to last until the fourth quarter. Basketball is a team sport of five people after all.

As long as the tiebreak battle is in the seventh battle, the Nuggets can maintain their current feel, and the Thunder will be difficult to match. Because for the Nuggets, three-pointers are just support for the inside, while for the Thunder, three-pointers are all the offense. Under pressure, it is very dangerous to bet all your money on three-pointers.

The game of life and death in the tiebreak, and keeps shooting three-pointers from the outside, which is no different from buying a lottery. Under pressure, can the Thunder shoot a three-pointer? Look at the fourth quarter of today, the Thunder threw three points like a devil, trying to quickly approach the score through the "shortcut". Ideals are full, but under the high-intensity confrontation in the playoffs, after running all over the court, in a tense and exciting atmosphere, the players' adrenaline soared and their heart rate rose rapidly, making it difficult to find the projection accuracy calmly. In the end, the Thunder's ten consecutive strong opponents not only failed to make the score, but instead ruined the final suspense of the game. In the tiebreak, the young outside shooters of the Thunder will face greater pressure. Can they regain the feel of the shooting? In the life-and-death battle, although the Nuggets also rely on three-point shooting, this is essentially different from the Thunder. Even if the outside space cannot be made, the Nuggets are in the inside and have a teacher to support the bottom, and the pressure is far less than that of the Thunder. On the other hand, the Nuggets' three-point gap comes from the back threat of Teacher Yo. After getting the first wave of inside consumption in a teacher, shooters like Murray, Strauser and Porter Jr. can shoot a fatal blow. There must be a difference between the prepared shooting and the random birds in the Thunder's fast break.

In the recent tiebreak battle, the Nuggets who have met with teachers are often the last one to laugh. This is not only because of the linkage between internal and external lines, creating an offensive firepower without dead ends, but also because the entire Nuggets team has a fighting spirit of breaking their heads and desperately trying to win. Will the young Thunder be scared? Let's wait and see.
