The Thunder lost unjustly! The Nuggets post-match interview released 3 signals, G7 is full of confidence and has obvious advantages.

The final score of Lei Jue battles G6 was 119-107. The Nuggets were behind 2-3 in a big victory and played the series again to the tiebreak battle.

The Thunder once again exposed their immature side - the boss Alexander received 4 fouls early, and after the game, he was beaten 12-0 by the Nuggets, seriously affecting the team's game rhythm; the team's second boss Jaylenway made 3 of 16 shots, dragging his legs again. In 6 games in the series, Jaylenway averaged 16.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of only 33.7%, of which the three-point shooting percentage was as low as 21.2%, far lower than the regular season 36.5% level! In this game, Jaylenway failed to seize several key scoring opportunities in the last quarter, which directly ruined the Thunder's momentum of chasing points. The third leader Chet performed stably, with 19 points and 11 rebounds, but Chet’s performance did not quench his thirst at all, and the Nuggets didn’t take it seriously at all.

In contrast, the Nuggets played with two starters with injuries (illness), Porter made 2 of 5 three-pointers, and Murray directly scored 25 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists. The 3+1 at the beginning was very morale. 9 points in the third quarter and the key three-pointer in the final quarter helped the Nuggets take the initiative in the second half; Jokic was still the most stable, with a comprehensive performance of 29 points, 14 rebounds and 8 assists, and 10 free throws of 12 free throws. He is the best player in this round of the series, no one - as long as the teacher is present, the Nuggets will not panic at all. Although Gordon scored only 5 points in this game, he had 7 rebounds and 7 assists, and his defensive power was also very powerful, with a positive and negative value of +17 and the second highest in the game.

The key thing to praise is Braun, who contributed 23 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 interruptions. At the age of 24, he became the youngest player in the Nuggets' history to have at least 20 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 interruptions in a single game. Two three-pointers in the second quarter are quite critical.

Except for Braun, the substitute surprise is only Strauser - all 15 points came from the second half. The 8 points at the end of the third quarter directly helped the Nuggets enter the fourth quarter with an 8-point advantage. Coupled with the key 4 free throws and 1 three-pointer in the final quarter, Strauser's performance can only be described as full scores. You should know that this year's playoffs, the 23-year-old player had no chance to play before, and his averaged only 5 minutes of playing time, but he could perform in this game, which proves that sentence - opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. After the game, the Nuggets were interviewed by reporters, and coach Adelman even gave a passionate speech in the locker room. During the interview, he focused on praising several key players, such as Murray who was sick, Porter Jr. who fought with injuries, and the substitute surprise Strouser, etc. When talking about the rebound of the G6 team, Adelman Jr. still praised him, "They are such players. They can survive in adversity, and we have been looking for ways to win." The coach said proudly.

You should know that in G4 and G5, the Nuggets were both weak in the last quarter. The two lost to the Thunder as much as 26 points in the fourth quarter, allowing the Thunder to complete the reversal. In this game, the Nuggets, who entered the fourth quarter with an 8-point lead, did not give the Thunder a chance to turn around and scored 29-25 in a single quarter. Especially Murray set the tone at the beginning of the final quarter, and continued to lead the team to expand the score difference, winning Jokic for a few minutes of rest.

Jokic talked about the winning key of G6 and looked forward to G7. "It is crucial that we did not have offensive fouls today, and our defense is excellent. For the next G7, we must do every detail, rebound position, defensive execution and turnover control... These will directly affect the trend of the game." Murray praised Strauser's highlight performance in an interview. Porter Jr. also mentioned that he injected painkillers before the G6 game, and he should also be injected before the G7 game.

From the interview speech of each Nuggets, we can get three signals: First, the Nuggets have strong adjustment ability and are now full of confidence in the G7 - this time there was no collapse in the last quarter, Murray and Jokic partnered more and more tacitly, and their respective teams were still very stable during their leadership. The Jokic league was well deserved, and the Thunder did not find a solution. The morale of the Nuggets rose sharply after winning, and G7 had hope to pursue the victory.

Second, substitute firepower is the lifeblood of the Nuggets. In fact, in G4 and G5, the Thunder have begun to pull physical fitness with the Nuggets, which is why it is difficult for the Nuggets to score in the last quarter when they lead seven or eight points. Among them, the G4 Nuggets substitute only has 8 points, G5 only has 10 points, and the Thunder are 35 points and 22 points respectively. The gap is quite obvious. In G6, the Nuggets substitute combined scored 27 points, which is the highest score outside the game except for the one that was beaten by G2. This is why everyone praised Strauser by name. These 15 points are really important.

Third, clear ideas for preparing for the G7. As Jokic said, facing the Thunder, which is the most stealthy and counterattacking in the regular season, reducing mistakes is still the top priority. The G6 Nuggets still have more mistakes than the Thunder. It is very harmful to morale when the Thunder uses the mistakes to make multiple counterattacks in the game. Especially when the Nuggets control the time in the last quarter, they were forced into three consecutive mistakes by the Thunder, narrowing the gap to less than 10 points. These can be avoided as long as they pay a little attention. In addition to making mistakes, defending well, protecting rebounds, etc. are the basic set of the Nuggets. Judging from the preparation ideas, the Nuggets have always been consistent in this round of series. Overall, they have sufficient defensive strength and strong control ability.

In the next tiebreak battle, the Nuggets still have to play their two major advantages - one is the performance of the duo of Jokic and Murray. Since the series, the teacher has averaged 29.8 points, 14.7 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 2 stops, while Murray is averaging 22 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists per game. Overall, they are relatively stable. Only Alexander of the Thunder has averaged more than 20 points per game.. Second, the defensive strategy must be implemented to the end - from the first round of the Clippers who let go of Dunn and Jones Jr. who were not space points, to the second round of the Thunder deliberately let go of weak defenders such as Dortmund and Caruso, focusing on Alexander's singles and pick-and-roll, so that the Thunder's offensive end fell into the Nuggets trap. Adelman Jr.'s move is really effective - after all, in the high-intensity playoffs, it is difficult to ensure a stable shooting feel.
