Alexander sets a new record, Gordon speaks for Jokic! Porter is confident that Westbrook should praise two points

Nuggets played away against the Thunder on May 8. At the end of the game, the Nuggets lost to the Thunder 106-149. Although the Nuggets won the G1 game, the Thunder should not be underestimated. As expected, the Thunder performed well shortly after the start of this game. Faced with such a situation, the Nuggets really had no power to resist. Therefore, the game gradually lost suspense at the end of the half-time game, and the Nuggets did not create miracles in the second half, and the Nuggets eventually defeated the Thunder. In this game, the Thunder scored 87 points in the first half and set a new record for the first half of the playoffs, while 149 points also set a new record for single-game score in the Thunder team's history.

Alexander scored a lot of points in the G1 game, but Alexander was not very efficient, and at the critical moment, Alexander made a shot. On the other hand, Jokic hit a three-pointer at the critical moment and helped the Nuggets catch up to only 1 point away. In addition, the Nuggets successfully defeated the Thunder later, so Alexander was questioned a lot at this time. However, Alexander performed very well in today's game. At the end of the game, Alexander scored 34 points, 4 rebounds, 8 assists, and Jokic scored 6 of 16 shots, 17 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists. It can be said that in today's game, Alexander finally helped himself get some face back.

At the same time, Alexander's positive and negative value was as high as +51 in this game. In this case, Alexander set a new record for single-game positive and negative value for players in the playoffs. Previously, Bain, James and Butler maintained +46 together. And after this game, when talking about Jokic, Gordon said: The various actions they made against him are not completely legal, and we can't do anything about it. Jokic will continue to play in this situation, but they did foul him. Every time they foul first, then call the second foul, and they always foul first. It can be seen that Gordon is also making a frustration for Jokic, believing that the call in this game is very unfavorable to Jokic. It can be said that in Gordon's view, the referee's call puts Jokic in a difficult situation.

However, for Jokic, the Thunder may have such actions in the game, but in fact, Jokic's many foul calls are really not unfair. After all, Jokic also had many small actions in the game, especially when Jokic and Jerin Williams were competing for rebounds in the third quarter, Jokic himself rode directly on Jerin Williams. Jokic's subsequent cover foul was also very obvious, so Gordon's complaints did not receive much recognition. After the game, when talking about how G3 rebounded, Porter said: Since joining the team, we have always made a good rebound whenever we have experienced such a crushing defeat. It can be seen that Porter is very confident about the Nuggets, but it doesn’t matter if Porter is so confident, but how he should rebound becomes the key. If he still plays sluggishly in the game, it will still be difficult for the Nuggets to win.

As for the Nuggets lost the game, Westbrook still has two points to praise. The first point is Westbrook's free throw. Seeing that the team could not start the situation in this game, Westbrook rushed to the inside and tried hard to cause damage. At this time, Westbrook was able to hit the free throw steadily. It can be said that Westbrook really tried his best. At the end of the game, Westbrook made 8 of 10 free throws. It can be said that judging from Westbrook's shooting ability, it is already very good for him to do such a thing. The second point is Westbrook's fighting spirit. In fact, when the Nuggets are already behind in a big score, you can see that other Nuggets players are playing a little lonely, but at this time Westbrook is still very aggressive. Although the Nuggets eventually lose the game, Westbrook's aggressiveness can still motivate the team.
