Not only did they lose two key free throws, but the Thunder s inside star was also beaten up by various defensive ends?

In a previous NBA Western Conference semi-finals, the Denver Nuggets defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder at home with a three-pointer of Aaron Gordon, achieving a good start in the series. After this game, the Nuggets also widened the total score of the series to 1-0, and they also regained the home advantage in this round of the series.

In this game, the performance of the Thunder's starting power forward Chet Holmgren was shocking. Chet played 27 minutes and 51 seconds in the whole game, made 5 of 11 shots, 0 of 3 from outside the three-point line, and 2 of 4 free throws, and scored 12 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 4 blocks. He also had 2 turnovers and 5 fouls, with a plus-negative value of -14. Chet felt poor on the offensive end, and he did not fully utilize his scoring and shooting ability. At the last moment, Chet missed two more key free throws, which largely led to the team's defeat. Chet seemed to have made many blocks on the defensive end, but from the actual situation, he was beaten by his opponents in the competition with Nikola Jokic, and his weaknesses in confrontational ability were also fully exposed. Overall, Chett's series of poor performances on both offense and defense have largely led to the team's defeat.

In the NBA regular season this season, Chett played 32 games due to injury, averaging 32 minutes per game, with averaging 15 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 0.7 steals and 2.2 blocks, and 1.8 turnovers and 2.3 fouls. He shot 49%, three-point shooting percentage 37.9%, and free throw shooting percentage 75.4%. In the playoffs, Chet averaged 28.7 minutes in the first five games, with averaging 17.2 points, 7.4 rebounds, 1 assist, 0.8 steals and 3 blocks, and 1 turnover and 2.2 fouls. He shot 44.3% from the field, 37.9% from three-point shooting percentage and 80.8% from free throws.

Chett's performance during the regular season is still worthy of recognition. Although he missed the game for a long time due to injury, he immediately found his form after his comeback. His offensive efficiency is quite good, his scoring ability is worthy of recognition. His performance on the defensive end can also be maintained at a high level. He is also an all-round player with both offense and defense. Chet's performance in the first round of the playoffs was also very outstanding. He also showed outstanding performance and had stable output on both offense and defense. Unexpectedly, he performed such a bad performance in the first game of this round of the series. Chett's performance will also greatly affect the team's overall competitiveness. Can he play better in competitive games?
