The old A8 is also A8! He won the tiebreaker of 16+5+5 and became the Nuggets savior, but the Clippers really chose the wrong person

On May 4, the NBA playoffs continued. Today, many fans have probably seen the tiebreak between the Clippers and the Nuggets. They thought it would be a even match, but they turned out to be one-sided. The Nuggets directly expanded their lead to more than 25 points in the third quarter, and the game completely lost the suspense. In the end, the Nuggets defeated the Clippers 4-3 with a big score and entered the second round of the playoffs. Harden ran with them for another season, and the championship seemed to be getting further and further away from him.

Of course, some people are sad and some people are happy. The competitive sports are always like this. The Nuggets were not optimistic at the beginning of this series. They suddenly announced the sack of the head coach at the end of the regular season, and even the general manager of the team, which made the locker room panic. As a result, they finally laughed to the end with the perseverance of the players. Although everyone is not optimistic about their ability to eliminate the Thunder in the second round of the playoffs, with Westbrook, everything is possible.

I can win the tiebreak today. I think the key player is not Jokic, but Westbrook. In the second quarter, he led the team to a climax of offensiveness. They were still 5 points behind in the first quarter. Westbrook started his personal mode in the second quarter and led the team to a defensive counterattack. Although he only scored 2 points in a single quarter, he sent 2 steals and 2 frontcourt rebounds, helping the Nuggets establish a 10-point lead, which also made the Nuggets' role players find confidence and defeated their opponents in the third quarter.

Westrow made 5 of 9 shots in the whole game, 2 of 4 three-pointers and scored 16 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 steals, just as the Clippers said: Westbrook is simply the savior of the Nuggets' playoffs, and he deserves all the praises in the world. In fact, Westbrook not only performed well in this game, but he turned the tide in G1 in the series, scoring 15 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals in the whole game. He also performed well in the series G5 Tianwangshan battle, scoring 14 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists.

If Westbrook hadn't been Westbrook's outstanding performance, the Nuggets might have been home long ago. Now, Malone may be the most unfair. He valued Westbrook very much, but because he valued Westbrook too much, it led to dissatisfaction from the management and was eventually sacked. The Nuggets tried to abandon Westbrook in the playoffs, but it was obvious that Westbrook helped them in the end. Even saying that he was more critical than Murray in this round of series. After all, he was the former MVP. Although Westbrook has been questioned in the past few years, there is no doubt that he can still help the team with the ball.

Westbrook has endured too much in the past few years. During the Wizards, he was still the most versatile point guard in the league who averaged triple-double. However, joining the Lakers made him lose his value. During the Clippers, he chose to reduce his salary to join and helped the team to enter the playoffs. As a result, after being eliminated in the series, he became the culprit. The team was unwilling to renew his contract and said that he would not reuse him. In the end, he left the Clippers and the Nuggets chose to win him. It is said that Jokic fully supported him at that time.

After joining the Nuggets, Westbrook got more ball rights with the support of Malone and Jokic. Although he still performed poorly, Westbrook is a role player after all, and he received a basic salary. In this case, he helped the team win many times, which has proved his value. However, it was because he was the former MVP that he was questioned that he should not have the salary that should have, and he still took the blame for losing.

Westbrook has quietly completed its transformation this season. I guess everyone has seen that he is no longer the player who used to be alone with the ball. Although he has occasionally performed well, he plays very rationally most of the time. In this round of series, the Clippers used the Mavericks' method to target Westbrook last season's playoffs, which is to short Westbrook, but once and for the time, Westbrook must have extraordinary abilities to win the MVP.

Westbrook developed three-pointers, and he was able to spare no effort to play his value on both offense and defense. In the whole series, Westbrook averaged 13.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.3 steals, with a shooting percentage of 43%, a three-point shooting percentage of 41.9%, and averaging 2.2 three-pointers. Such three-point output and efficiency are completely the level of top scorers. It is estimated that in the second round, the Thunder will definitely not dare to let Westbrook go. This is a seven high-intensity series. Westbrook scored three-point data. Who dares to let this shot?

After the tiebreak, Westbrook ran back to the locker room, and he shouted on the road: They chose the wrong person, didn't they? It can be seen that he is still resentful of the Clippers giving up himself. Now the Clippers substitutes Bogdan and Simmons have not played the level that a sixth man should have in the playoffs. The team's substitutes are only led by Lao Ba. Originally, their substitutes have an advantage, but under Westbrook's turnaround, the Clippers' substitutes have become the disadvantaged side.

Westrow was dunked in the fourth quarter and ate the T-shelf. He shouted that he asked them to go home. His depressed mood was finally released. Westbrook will return to Oklahoma in the second round. The fans here only love him. I hope Westbrook can continue his performance in this round. Speaking of this, what do you want to say about Westbrook? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
