Duan Ran: The second brother ignited the plateau; the third brother was lost again!

The Nuggets eliminated the Clippers in the Denver Plateau and entered the second round.

They lead up to 35 points and then smoothly spend up to 18 minutes of garbage time.

Even in all tiebreak matches in NBA history, it can be said to be quite explosive.

As we all know, Coach Lu and the Clippers successfully changed the lineup in the sixth game.

Space attribute matching Nuggets - find a surprise who can shoot three points.

In the seventh game yesterday, Coach Lu changed the team again at the beginning, and Jones Jr. started.

This routine is of course intended to ensure defense and size, while at the same time, shorting the Nuggets' unilateral pressure.

Jones Jr. scored consecutive points at the beginning, and the Clippers replaced the defense properly.

They broke the pick-and-roll related to Fatty, so the Nuggets made a total of 0 of 9 shots in double cores.

But-

Coach Adelman's adjustment is shown here.

The fat man from Serbia is not only good at shooting, he is also the tactical center of the team.

Teams can fail to make a shot, keep the rhythm tight, cut long and empty, and rotate quickly.

So—Fatty assisted 6 in a single quarter.

Gordon and Braun's chain cuts, Porter's aggressive rotation, Braun's three-pointer.

On the Clippers, someone also saw the Nuggets' attacks and defense replacements, with 6 assists in a single quarter.

This is 35-year-old Harden.

Before the end of the first quarter, Harden activated the pick-and-roll and dominated the Clippers' scoring round.

ESPN commentator sighed on the sidelines -

If you continue to play, it will be a game for the ball merchants.

At that time, maybe no one expected that there was someone else who could change the rhythm of the game.

The middle of the second quarter is the game time that belongs only to Russell Westbrook.

took Gordon's assist and made a three-pointer - punishing the Clippers' non-space point strategy.

See through the pass route and copy the ball.

Eight seconds later, he copied the ball again and assisted Gordon to complete the dunk.

Two consecutive steals, Denver was ignited at home.

10-2 attack wave, created by Westbrook.

But not finished yet.

assisted the fat man who cut the outside and scored three points.

Slow down the pace and wait for the fat man to cut inward and get the assist.

The strong attack caused a foul, and one of two free throws was made, and the frontcourt rebound was made. The pace of the

game changed. The collapse of the Clippers laid the foreshadowing from this moment. In an interview after the game, Westbrook admitted that his task was to turn the situation upside down, and he did. In the first game of the

series, he made a key three-pointer, becoming the flame of the team's victory. In the fifth game of the

series, he scored 16 points in the first half, opening the connection situation.

Until today, he ignited the Denver Plateau based on speed and energy.

In the early stage of the third quarter, when Leonard made a three-pointer, the Clippers were about to take off.

But-

Fatty immediately took a wonderful step back and shot.

Since then -

Gordon's dunk and frontcourt rebound.

Potter's consecutive three-pointers.

8 minutes and 12 seconds before the end of the third quarter, Gordon took over Murray's pass.

He saw the Clippers half empty himself. Then an understatement of the Central Investment.

The Nuggets' offensive waves surged, and within 3 minutes and 13 seconds, they swept 17 minutes. The sideline commentator of

ESPN was almost shouting out -

Potter was burning, and the most dangerous thing in the series finally happened.

At that moment, the game ended early and the suspense of victory and loss disappeared.

If you are a Nuggets fan, you can probably deeply understand the meaning of the above sentence.

series seven games, Porter played with injuries most of the time.

Before the tiebreak yesterday, he even publicly admitted that he had a painkiller injection.

I have made my point frankly clear -

This season, Porter's salary is inflated, his projection efficiency has declined, and his defensive weaknesses are obvious.

ESPN's offensive and defensive efficiency shows that he has no positive effect in more than 64% of his playing time.

Against this background, he made 6 of 11 shots today and scored 15 points and three three-pointers.

Nuggets' six scored in double digits, and he was one of them.

Friends who have watched football games may remember this slogan -

If you win, you love you, you will lose, you will not love you.

The intriguing thing is that today there are more than one person in both teams who are suitable for this sentence. The

series ends and the Nuggets advance. In addition to the winning relationship, I also want to talk to my friends about something else.

In seven games in this series, Leonard's scores were all above 20 points.

It was his relatively healthiest season since he continued to suffer from injuries.

However, the Clippers were out.

When the reporter asked him how he could go further with Harden, his expression showed a brief hesitation.

I think it is very likely that he also needs to seriously consider some possibility in the future.

Possibility of personal will, possibilities at the basketball level.

and even the possibility of chemical reactions.

Coach Lu lost the first tiebreaker in his career on his 48th birthday.

He did his best for this team, but he endured the most polarized public opinion.

Compared with the Clippers, the storyline on the Nuggets seems much clearer and more tortuous.

Several days ago, the Nuggets fired head coach Malone and general manager Booth.

Denver encounters the most unnegligible turmoil and twists and turns in the team's history.

vs. Timberwolves, Westbrook's performance was once widely criticized at the last moment of the game.

But-

Looking back now, it is almost an important deflection that changes the general direction of the playoffs. The results of the

game cover most of the West.

Nuggets indirectly determined that their opponent was the Clippers.

The Lakers indirectly confirmed that their opponent was the Timberwolves.

The Warriors indirectly determined that their opponent was the Rockets. We all know the story afterwards.

Nuggets defeated the Clippers in tiebreak and entered the second round.

The Lakers were eliminated by the Timberwolves.

The Warriors had to tie the Rockets for seven.

The Denver Nuggets' rapid turn before the end of the regular season actually directly twitched the gear of fate.

Gordon thus became the most important strategic match in this series.

Fatty encounters a first-round defense that may be the most difficult first-round defense in his career.

But-

They all supported the team.

The countless coincidences of fate allowed Westbrook to face the most important team in his life.

The No. thunder in the West.

As I said yesterday, the blood and fire playoffs achieve everything and screen everything.

I always think that Fatty has a very right thing to say.

Anyone who truly loves basketball should understand that these are the best seven games in the first round.

Everyone finds his own value.

Everyone interprets his positioning.

Perhaps there is only one person who is the real exception.

We liked him for many years, but used many different words in him.

At this moment, even if you still have something to say, you will feel that you will be using up the Chinese characters you know.

Perhaps from a certain moment when friends are familiar with each other, many things have been settled.

35 years old is not the end.

Everyone who truly loves basketball should not be desensitized to the point of being numb because of the outcome of the game.

You should understand why you have become who you are today.

I know that many things in this world are difficult.

I know that many things in this world are very bitter.

But--

A person must first understand what you really want.

You cannot see the winner clearly, so there is no need to worry about the winner.

You all know who I am talking about.
