21 shots in 63! Three consecutive games were missed! What happened to the teacher?

On May 12, there were two NBA playoffs today: the Pacers beat the Cavaliers 129-109 at home, and the total score was 3-1 to get the match point; the Thunder defeated the Nuggets 92-87 away, and the total score was 2-2. Jokic made 7 of 22 shots, 2 of 8 three-pointers, 11 of 14 free throws, scoring 27 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists, 4 steals and 4 turnovers.

Series G1, Teacher Yo broke out: made 15 of 29 shots, scored 42 points, 22 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks. From G2 to G4, the teacher's three consecutive games were hit less than 38%. In these three games, Jokic made a total of 21 of 63 shots, with a shooting percentage of only 33.3%. He made a total of 15 assists, but made 16 mistakes!

Even with the first game of the outbreak, the hit rate of Teacher Yon is not high. In this round of the series, he averaged 26.5 points, 14.8 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 5.8 turnovers per game, with three shooting percentages: 39.1%, 21.4%, and 77.8%. As a center, this hit rate is obviously unreasonable. In four games, the teacher played in three games for more than 41 minutes.

The teacher sent a total of 21 assists in four games and made 23 mistakes. There are more mistakes than assists, which may be the first time that Teacher Yo has encountered this situation. The Nuggets generally only have 6 or 7 people to rotate, while the Thunder have 9 people to rotate. One of the reasons for lack of physical strength was definitely one of the reasons. Teacher Yo said, "Thunder's defense is full of confrontation!"

The Thunder's defense was not determined by Harten alone, but two or three lines of defense were surrounding him. NBA famous reporter Sam Amick wrote: "The Thunder's defense made Jokic struggle, a bit like the round of the Lakers vs. the Nuggets in the Park. But so far, I have never seen anyone who can cause trouble for Jokic like the Warcraft back then." The reason why the Thunder attacked Jokic was mainly because Watson and Westbrook's unstable outside projection, so the Thunder would rather let them go. In addition, Porter Jr. made a crazy blacksmith, and 7 of 22 three-pointers in this round of the series were shot. Only then did the Thunder dare to focus on the defense. The battle of Tianwang Mountain at 9:30 the morning after tomorrow, the Nuggets can play very few cards.

Now the two teams have returned to the same starting line. In this round of series, who do you think can end up laughing?
