Western Conference semi-final G7, the smoke of gunpowder disappeared, but the ending was very sad. The Nuggets, the regular season champion of this season, eventually lost to the Thunder with a score of 93-125, with a total score of 3-4 and missed the Western Conference Finals. This is not only the end of a football match, but also the shattered dream of a dynasty and the helplessness of youth.

Jokic, a popular MVP this season, tried his best to hand in a data of nearly a triple-double (20 points, 9 rebounds, and 7 assists), but he was alone and his teammates' sluggish performance made all his efforts was wasted. Murray's sluggish shooting percentage (1 of 8 three-pointers), Porter was silent in the whole game (0 of 4), and although Braun's shots increased, his efficiency was inefficient (2 of 8 shots), all of which became the key to the Nuggets' defeat. Could it be that Jokic took over the entire team alone? Perhaps, this is the fundamental reason for the team's final failure.
And Alexander of the Thunder became the absolute protagonist of this game. With 35 points and 0 mistakes, he used efficient offense to tear the Nuggets' defense line and led the team to make great progress. He not only demonstrated his strong personal abilities, but also demonstrated his maturity and calmness as a leader. He is not fighting alone, behind him is the tacit cooperation of the entire team. Jaylen Williams' strong 24 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists, Caruso's multiple fast break dunks, and Chett and Hartten's stable performance all provided solid support for Alexander's shining.

In addition to the players' sluggish state, the Nuggets' injury issues are also worth paying attention to. Aaron Gordon persisted with an injury, and a second-degree hamstring strain made him seem helpless on the court, scoring only 8 points and 11 rebounds. The physical energy consumption of the two consecutive rounds of tiebreak battles also made the Nuggets players look exhausted. This may also be one of the important factors that lead to their ultimate failure. Could this be the cruel reality of competitive sports? After the game, various media commented on this game mixed. Some media focused on Jokic's fatigue and Gordon's tenacious struggle, criticizing the sluggish performance of Murray, Porter and Braun. Other media praised Alexander's outstanding performance, and even believed that the league was promoting him as a new league appearance. Behind this controversy is a hidden doubt on the operation of the alliance? Is it the Thunder’s outstanding strength or the league intends to support young players? This may be a question worth thinking about. The end of this game marks the Nuggets' regretful farewell this season. They made great efforts but eventually missed the championship. But this is the charm of competitive sports. It is full of uncertainty and countless possibilities. Alexander's rise also allows us to see the strong strength of the new generation of stars in the league. This game is not only a basketball game, but also a profound discussion on strength, will, and the direction of the league. So, what do you think of this game?
