Thunder wins 43 points! Jokic leaves the field with 6 fouls, Alexander hits 34+8, plus or negative value +51 record

The Thunder slapped the Nuggets with 43 points, and Alexander broke the record with positive and negative values ​​+51. Why did you think the defending champion collapse so miserably? In this NBA playoff game on May 8, the Thunder defeated the Nuggets 149-106 at home. The 43-point difference made my eyes almost fall off! This is not a small fuss. Alexander's plus-minus value +51 directly set a playoff record, which was simply explosive! The Thunder played like a cheat, and the Nuggets seemed to be stunned. Jokic left the field with 6 fouls. The expression on his face, oh, I couldn't bear to see it. I personally think that the Thunder is really fighting, but the Nuggets have a lot of problems. What's going on? Let's talk about the whole story of this game today. As soon as the game ended, the fans at the Thunder home court went crazy, cheering loudly, and they all waved towels and screamed, as lively as if setting off firecrackers during the Chinese New Year. Look at the Nuggets players, lowered their heads and walked towards the locker room. The back, tsk, looked like an eggplant beaten by frost, wilted. The difference of 43 points will make anyone doubt life! No matter how I look at it, I think that the Thunder did not win this game, but directly knocked the Nuggets' soul away. But then again, the Nuggets are at least the defending champion, why did they lose so badly? Let's start from the beginning, see why the thunder is so fierce.

Thunder in this game, it was simply playing team basketball to the extreme, crushing the opponent from beginning to end. As soon as the first quarter came, they opened their firepower and led by 24 points directly, led by 31 points at the end of the half, and led by 48 points after the third quarter. In the end, they won 149-106, and the Nuggets had no chance to take a breath. Alexander, this guy, had 34 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists, and made 11 of 13 shots. His shooting percentage was ridiculously high. He played various mid-range singles on the court, and he tore the Nuggets' defense line to pieces. To put it bluntly, he is Thunder’s “master” and never loses the chain at critical moments. I still remember when he first entered the league, he was not very famous and had to become a top star step by step by step. His performance in this game was like a "key gentleman", which made me excited.

Not only Alexander, but everyone else can fight. Jewe scored 17 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists, Chet scored 15 points, 11 rebounds and 2 big hats, and was online on both ends of the offense and defense. There is no role player, Harten scored 14 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists, and a steady small spoiler. Dort scored 12 points, Wiggins scored 10 points, and Wallace also scored 8 points. There was a scene that I was particularly impressed by. In the third quarter, Alexander and Chett had a high pick-and-roll. Chett received the ball and dunked directly. The Nuggets' inside line didn't react. The Thunder cooperated with each other and felt tacitly like an old couple. In the final quarter, the substitute was still not ruthless and had full firepower, and the Nuggets were beaten to the ground. If you taste it, if you carefully taste it, who can withstand this team of basketball?

But then again, the Thunder was not so glorious in the last G1 game. They were defeated by the Nuggets and lost very cowardly. How did you lose that game? I see a few points. First, I have to rest for too long, feel unfamiliar, and the intensity of the playoffs did not keep up; second, the referee was a little "biased" in the final quarter, Jokic scored free throws as soon as he touched, and there were more whistles than Alexander, which made the Nuggets catch up with the score difference; third, Jewish and Chet performed averagely and did not stand up at the critical moment. If one of these three points does not happen, the Nuggets may not win. In this G2, the Thunder obviously held their breath and increased the intensity from the beginning, and vented all the aggrievances of the previous game. The Nuggets couldn't resist it.

Look at the Nuggets again, oh, that's so miserable, it collapsed completely. As the core, Jokic thought about letting his teammates open the situation in the first quarter, but he didn't make any effort. As a result, his teammates didn't open it, and the Thunder took them away in a wave of flow. In the second quarter, he had full firepower, but the Thunder had already felt hot. No matter how strong he was, he could not withstand the explosion of the entire team on the other side. He made 6 of 16 shots in the game, scoring only 17 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists. The data was still OK, but his mentality was a mess. In the third quarter, he took 4 fouls in a row, and the last 6 fouls left the field. I was worried for him at that moment. Why did he end up in such a miserable way as a MVP? When he left the scene, his eyes were a little helpless and angry, and he looked like a cat that was furious. I felt mixed feelings.

Porter, let alone, why is he so bad when facing tough battles? He made 2 of 10 shots in the game, scored only 8 points and 5 rebounds, and was invisible at critical moments. The Nuggets spent a lot of money to support him, but they didn't let him be a "transparent person". Gordon made 3 of 12 shots and scored 10 points and 5 rebounds, while Murray made 4 of 9 shots and scored 14 points and 4 rebounds, and his performance was not much better. On the contrary, Westbrook is still a bit bloody, scoring 19 points, 1 rebound and 5 assists on 5 of 11 shots. Although he was short, he at least dared to fight. What a pity, no matter how hard he fights alone, he can't save the entire team. There was a scene that was particularly heartbreaking. In the fourth quarter, the coach's face was as dark as the bottom of the pot. The players all bowed their heads and didn't say anything, as if they were beaten by the Thunder and were so heartless that they were lost. This scene was so sad that they looked at it. The Nuggets lost this game, which is a big problem. The defensive end is simply "paper-made", and the Thunder is beaten into a sieve, and the offensive end can only fight against the opponent, but the Thunder's firepower is stronger than them. If Jokic doesn't show a 40+ performance like G1, what can he win? Think about G1 again, how thrilling the Nuggets win by winning by winning the game with the final score, but G2 was beaten like this. Why is the gap so big? I think the Thunder have really awakened. G2 has adjusted its tactics to mentality. The Nuggets have many loopholes in defense and their core state is unstable. The coaching staff seems to have no tricks on the sidelines, staring at the gap getting bigger and bigger. There is a scene I remember very clearly. In the second quarter, the Thunder made an 11-2 wave, and the Nuggets called a timeout. The coach yelled on the sidelines and his voice was hoarse, but the players still couldn't defend themselves on the court and could not attack. The feeling of powerlessness could be felt through the screen. There are actually deeper reasons behind the

competition. Thunder G1 lost, except for the points I just mentioned, their overall pace is also slow and they did not play their own style.. But G2 is different. They have shown aggressiveness since the first quarter, and both offense and defense are online, which has forced the Nuggets to a dead end. As for the Nuggets, the biggest problem is that their defense is too poor, and their inside and outside are randomly attacked by the Thunder. Once Jokic is in a bad state, the rhythm of the whole team will be messed up. To put it bluntly, if the Nuggets want to win the Thunder, they must be fully fired from the beginning
