The director of 36-year-old Westbrook scored 18 points reversed! In the final quarter, the Redemption Battle, was the old Thunder Lord buried by him?

11 seconds before the final game, Homegren missed two free throws the Thunder into silence. Westbrook grabbed the rebound and pushed the frontcourt like lightning, and a cannonball that crossed the half-time pass accurately found Gordon.

The moment the basketball drew a parabola and fell into the net, the Nuggets' bench towel almost threw it on the ceiling - this legend in the history of the team who retired from the Thunder's jersey, ended the old club's dream of victory in the most cruel way.

The veteran's redemption moment

When the Thunder led by 14 points in the final quarter, the broadcast camera swept over Westbrook's tight-girl face, and this detail exposed his determination to take everything.

Faced with the booing of the old host fans, he pressed Alexander tightly against the new generation superstar three times in a row, entangling the new generation superstar like a candy.

The most fatal blow happened in the last two minutes: Westbrook pretended to assist in defense and deceived Homgren's pass route, and a volleyball blocking destroyed the fast break, then ran wildly to complete a 2+1 layup.

This defensive attitude of "fighting for life" completely ignited the Nuggets' reversal engine.

The Light of Wisdom in Character Transformation

The former "triple-double machine" is now willing to be a green leaf. Westbrook's biggest transformation this season is knowing "when to step on the brakes."

When Jokic encountered a double-team of three people, he no longer insisted on forcing a breakthrough, but turned into a transit station and quickly passed the ball to the weak side; when Murray felt cold, he took the initiative to assume the responsibility of the second ball holding point and activated Gordon's empty cut with accurate passes.

The wisdom of "controlling the field but not dominating the field" allows the Nuggets to always maintain liquidity in a tactical deadlock.

After a timeout, Coach Malone patted his shoulder and said, "You are our brain now, not our muscles."

The fateful showdown between the old and new kings

This game can be regarded as an epic dialogue between two generations of point guards.

Alexander used a butterfly to change directions like a flower, while Westbrook destroyed the rhythm by predicting the position; when the new generation tried to crush the years with speed, the veteran used experience to weave traps.

The most exciting game appears in the third quarter: Alexander's continuous fake moves were swaying, but Westbrook moved forward like he predicted the future, forcing his opponent to fall back and hit the iron with high difficulty.

In the locker room after the game, Jokic smiled and joked: "Russell installed a radar today, and even understood Chet's breathing frequency." The undercurrent behind the reversal

The seemingly accidental reversal actually has secrets. The Nuggets coaching staff boldly used "wheel battle" to consume Alexander, and Westbrook, Braun and Watson took turns to join in close combat.

When the young master of Thunder dribbled in the final quarter, Westbrook immediately captured the opponent's fatigue signal and launched a continuous conversion attack.

This "boiling frogs in warm water" tactic exposes the immatureness of Thunder's young core in dealing with protracted wars.

What's more fatal is that the trembling fingertips of Homegren's key free throws formed the most cruel growth contrast with Westbrook's firm look when he steadily took the rebound.

When Westbrook raises his arms and roars pops up on social media, do you remember the youth storm when he was wearing thunder blue? From the Oscar Hero to the Denver Key Puzzle, which stage do you appreciate more?
