The Clippers lost, where is the Nuggets winning the tie-break battle? The old generation of stars gradually ended

In the just-concluded NBA playoff tiebreak, the Denver Nuggets defeated the Los Angeles Clippers with a score of 120-101. This game reflects to a certain extent the changes in the NBA league's pattern - the gradual decline of the older generation of stars and the rise of Mesozoic stars.

Nuggets show their team basketball advantages, and the role player explosion

From the game process, the Nuggets' victory in this tiebreak battle is by no means accidental. In the first quarter, Jokic, the Nuggets' star, felt cold and made no hits in five shots. However, the Nuggets' role players stood up at this time and took the banner of the team's offense. Braun showed a strong offensive desire at the beginning, capturing the team's first 5 points in the opening game, and he efficiently scored 21 points in the whole game. Gordon's impact in the inside also put great pressure on the Clippers' defense, contributing 22 points and 5 assists throughout the game. In addition, Westbrook, Watson and other players who came on the bench contributed huge energy, and the two scored a total of 25 points, and the Nuggets scored 6 players in double digits in the game. In contrast, the Clippers' offense lacks connection, and the team lacks stable scoring points outside of Leonard and Harden. The three-point shooting percentage was only 29.6%. In the critical period of the game, the Clippers scored only 32 points in the second and third quarters, and the offensive efficiency showed a cliff-like decline. Harden's personal offense was greatly limited in this game, hitting only 3 goals in 10 shots and scoring 7 points. Although he sent 13 assists, his sluggish performance on the offensive end still had an adverse impact on the team. Zubac has insufficient finishing ability in the inside, only scored 10 points, and scored scorers such as Powell also missed their touch, scoring only 9 points in the game. In the third quarter, the Nuggets completely defeated the Clippers

The third quarter of the game became the turning point of this game. After the start of the second half, the Nuggets quickly made a 17-0 super attack wave while the Clippers defended themselves loosely. In a single quarter, the Clippers scored less than 20 points, while the Nuggets scored 35 points, and the gap was quickly widened to more than 20 points, and the suspense of the game was basically concluded in this quarter. From the defensive end, the Nuggets showed stronger oppressiveness in this game. They made 15 steals in the whole game, of which Westbrook contributed 5 steals alone. Through these steals, the Nuggets scored a sharp lead over the Clippers 22-8.

Westbrook was full of passion, but Harden was used to being sluggish

Westbrook's performance in this game was amazing. Westbrook first hit a key three-pointer in the second quarter, and then led the Nuggets to make a 10-2 offensive by making kills, stealing and assisting teammates to dunk, completing the overtake of the Clippers. In a single quarter, Westbrook exploded on both offense and defense, making great contributions to the Nuggets' big victory. Throughout the game, Westbrook contributed 16 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 steals, and his passion and vitality greatly boosted the morale of the team. In sharp contrast to this is Harden, who once again fell into a habitual downturn in the game. At the critical moment of the key game, he found it difficult to stand up like a superstar, scored only 7 points, and could not change the situation of the game with his score. The sluggish performance in this game undoubtedly added a regrettable footnote to his career.

The old generation of stars is gradually coming to an end, and the Mesozoic stars are rising strongly

With the Clippers' defeat in the tiebreak battle, Harden and Leonard, the two older generations of stars, also regretfully ended the journey of this season. Before that, the Lakers led by James were eliminated 1-4 in the first round. Coupled with Durant, who has not entered the playoffs this season, and Curry, who is currently in the first round tiebreak battle against the cliff, the older generation of stars in the NBA league are gradually coming to an end.

Time is unforgiving. In the high-intensity confrontation in the playoffs, the physical fitness of the older generation of superstars has gradually become the team's shortcomings. The Middle Age stars have shown strong competitiveness in the playoffs. Jokic averaged 29 points, 12.9 rebounds, 10.4 assists per game, and Alexander (SGA) has a good performance in both offense and defense. The scheduled MVP is basically scheduled. Jason Tatum also plays a central role in the Celtics, averaging 27.2 points, 8.8 rebounds, 5.9 assists per game this season. His comprehensiveness and big heart performance at critical moments have allowed the Celtics to beat the Magic easily. Donovan Mitchell also led the Cavaliers to a second round with their scoring ability at critical moments being the team's secret key. With its outstanding personal abilities and team spirit, the stars of the Middle Age are taking over the banner of the league and opening a new era. What do you think about this?
