32 points defeat! Jokic becomes a lone brave, the Thunder sets a god-level record, the NBA is about to change

The NBA playoff division semi-finals were particularly fierce. The Pacers, Timberwolves and Knicks easily advanced and secured a spot in the division finals early. The Timberwolves sat on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, quietly waiting for the winner of the Thunder VS Nuggets' tiebreaker! After a short break, the tiebreak battle started as scheduled. The specific situation is as follows: the Nuggets lost to the Thunder 93-125. In this way, there are some new changes in the eastern and western pattern. Let’s take a look.

Nuggets are a magical team that can withstand the slander and win as much praise as you can! In the first round, no one was optimistic about the Nuggets, they beat the Clippers through the tiebreak battle; in the second round, no one was optimistic about the Nuggets, they quietly dragged the league overlord Thunder into the tiebreak battle! The difference is that the Nuggets have exhausted their lamps and wounded soldiers all over the camp, Porter Jr. was injured in the shoulder, Murray was sick, Westbrook had a hand injury, and Gordon had a second-degree strain on his left hamstring. Even though they fought with injuries to make their careers for this tiebreak bet, they were still determined to kill the enemy and were unable to turn the world back! Especially in the second and third quarters, the Nuggets collapsed, and the Thunder burst out a 76-46 attack wave, smashing the game in advance! In the end, the Nuggets lost to the Thunder 93-125 and lost to the tiebreaker!

Nuggets lost 32 points and were eliminated 3-4. Jokic had no choice but to fight with four hands with both fists, and he became a lonely brave man! In this tiebreak life and death match, Jokic played 36 minutes, made 5 of 9 shots (1 of 2 three-pointers), 9 of 11 free throws, scored 20 points + 9 rebounds + 7 assists, and had 5 turnovers! If you don't watch the game, you will definitely question: Why did Jokic only make 9 shots? Why did Jokic make 5 mistakes? But what I want to say is that all this is thanks to the Thunder’s defensive strategy! The Thunder generals entangled Jokic in the way of losing candy. Caruso went around, Harten was the leader, and there were also a group of dwarfs waiting for an opportunity to pinch the teacher's defense line. They would rather pay for a foul and consume the teacher than let him score a goal easily. After the game, Jokic made the point clear and said bluntly: We do need to increase the depth of the lineup, and teams with longer rotations are winning the game!

Thunder team united in defeating the Nuggets, advanced to the Western Conference Finals with their heads raised, setting several god-level records. According to statistics from the NBA official website, 32 points is the new record of winning and losing points in the Thunder's history, with only 15 points before. At the same time, this is the fifth time the Thunder team has reached the Western Conference Finals in history, and the last time can be traced back to the Durant Westbrook bombing nine years ago. In another statistics, the average age of the Thunder is only 25.2 years old, and they are the youngest team to enter the Western Conference Finals in NBA history. The Thunder team fought strongly, SGA and Caruso made great achievements, each creating a god-level record. Among them, SGA scored 35 points alone, becoming the second player in the Thunder team's history to score 35+ in the tiebreak battle, the first one was Durant; Caruso's substitute hit a plus-minus value of +40, setting a new high for the substitute player in the tiebreak battle in the 21st century, which was previously maintained by Ginobili.
