Young and energetic fans always love to cheer for their beloved teams and players. How many of them can truly experience the cruelty and beauty of competitive sports? I think the recent fourth game between the Thunder and the Nuggets must have left a deep impression on many people.
This game took place at the Nuggets' home court. In the end, the Thunder defeated the Nuggets 92-87 and tied the series score 2-2. It seems like an ordinary victory, but it contains so many unspeakable emotions! Imagine that in the noisy stadium, countless pairs of eyes staring at every detail on the field, and their heartbeat accelerates with the changes in the score. The tension and excitement is really hard to stop!
However, behind this victory is the sluggish performance of Thunder star Westbrook (Westbrook). In 26 minutes, he made only 2 of 12 shots, 2 of 9 three-pointers, and only scored 6 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist. What is even more surprising is that he actually received 6 fouls! The net loss of 20 points on the court, becoming the worst player in the team. Is this really the Westbrook we know? Thinking about his once powerful stadium, looking at the current sluggish data, it is inevitable that it is a pity. At the beginning of the game, Westbrook's performance was as cold as falling into an ice cave. In less than three minutes, he missed all 6 shots, made 0 of 3 three-pointers and 0 of 3 from the basket! This is simply incredible! What is even more heartbreaking is that the Nuggets' shooting percentage in the first quarter was also sluggish, with only 2 of 22 shots and 0 of 14 three-pointers. This makes people wonder whether Westbrook's downturn also indirectly affects the overall morale of the team? Could it be his downturn that puts pressure on his young teammates? In the second quarter, Westbrook finally hit a three-pointer, which also ended the Nuggets' embarrassing record of missing 16 three-pointers in the opening game. At that moment, the audience seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. Does this short-term glory indicate Westbrook's rebound? Unfortunately, this was just a flash in the pan, and he made almost no achievements on the offensive end since then. The
game entered the crucial fourth quarter, and the Nuggets fell by 1 point. However, fate is a mess, Westbrook made a fatal mistake at this time. He took a risk of stealing, which led to Alexander's free throw chance. Then, in an undefensive fast attack, he tried three points again, but he didn't touch the three! This is perhaps the most heartbreaking moment of the entire game.
In the end, the Thunder narrowly won. The taste of victory is probably mixed. Westbrook's sluggish performance undoubtedly brought huge risks to the team. But he is the leader of the Thunder after all, and his experience and influence are still an indispensable part of the team.
We should all remember that life is full of ups and downs, and this is especially true in the arena. A failure does not define a player's value, and a victory does not represent eternal success. It is important to learn from failure and stay humble from victory. Westbrook needs to adjust his state, and the Thunder need to be more united and meet future challenges.
