The five main players of the Nuggets were injured. What else can you win in the tiebreak battle?

The tiebreak battle between the Thunder and the Nuggets is about to begin, but the health of the Nuggets' lineup is not optimistic. Murray suffered from flu and was unable to see the naked eye when he sat on the bench in the sixth game. Westbrook's ring finger and little finger on his right hand have been tied together, no wonder his 42% three-point shooting percentage in the first round has become a variety of three-pointers in the second round. Braun was captured in the last game with blood seeping under his right knee, and he was also fighting with injuries. Gordon has a hamstring strain and it will not be decided until before the game. Porter Jr. has a serious shoulder injury and has been using injections to continue playing. The Nuggets have only 6.5 players in rotation, and the main players are injured. It is not easy to reach the second round of tiebreak. Many people have been moved by their strong resilience!

However, facing the Thunder with 68 wins in the regular season and averaging more than 12 points in the net score per game, resilience alone is not enough. When the five major players are fighting with injuries, how should they fight the tiebreak battle and how can they have a chance of winning? When it comes to this, the only way to see the players perform.

First, teachers must show the dominance of MVP. In this round of series, the teacher's performance is sometimes good and sometimes bad. He had 42 points and 22 rebounds in the first game, Tianwangshan had 44 points and 15 rebounds, and in the sixth game, he performed well. However, in the middle three games, the average average of less than 22 points and none of them hits more than 40%, which is a bad performance for players of his level. In the tiebreak battle, the teacher must play at least 30+15 in order to provide the Nuggets with the bottom line. I want to face the inside of Harten, Chett and Jerin Williams. There is no reason why Teacher Yoo did not break out in the key battle. After all, last year, against Gobert, Towns and Reed, Teacher Yoo all scored 30+ in four games.

Secondly, we must have confidence in Murray. There is a data you may not know: in the playoffs, Murray averaged 29 points per game and ranked 9th in history, with a real shooting percentage of up to 60.9%, the highest among the top ten. Murray is the strongest playoff player among non-All-Stars and even performs better than many All-Stars. He played 42 minutes in the last game, scoring 25 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists. I believe that after two days of rest, Murray will not disappoint Nuggets fans in the tiebreak battle.

Again, the question about Gordon's replacement candidate. If Gordon can't fight, Westbrook, Watson and Najib will come forward. During the regular season Gordon recovered from his injury, Westbrook crossed the forward position, and the effect was quite good. Westbrook's offense may be affected by a thumb injury, making it difficult to exert its power against the Clippers in the first round, but Westbrook's contribution to defense, assisting defense, grabbing, rebounding, etc. is still very important. In addition, Westbrook needs to reduce mistakes, control the rhythm, and make positive contributions as much as possible. Watson needs to reduce the ball, he wants to play the role of Gordon's ghost's empty-cut position and play the defensive advantage. Najib needs to grab rebounds and defend well in a limited time.

Finally, even if Gordon played, it would be difficult for him to exert force on both offense and defense due to his hamstring injury. If he plays, he can use a space point to hit the open three-pointer. According to the previous games, as long as the Nuggets character player hits an open three-pointer, his chances of winning are very high. As long as you make a shot outside, you can play more calmly when you ask the teacher to play inside. Therefore, Porter Jr., Strauser and Braun must continue the feel of the sixth game. The basic board is to invite the teacher, but the real key to winning is your shooting.
