Ming Card Playing has failed, how did the Nuggets lose, two life gates have appeared, one person becomes a barometer

We saw the final result of the Nuggets and Thunder in the fourth game, that is, the Thunder won the game and tied the big score 2-2. For the Nuggets, it is actually a pity to lose a game at home. Now they are going to the Thunder to play the Tianwang Mountain game at home, which has a different meaning. The Ming Card Playing Method has failed, how did the Nuggets lose? Two life gates have appeared, and one person becomes a barometer.

In fact, the Nuggets are the current style of playing cards. Whether it is rotation or other game strategies, there is no room for adjustment. Everyone sees this. However, in this game, the Nuggets' clear card style has failed. Why do you say so? The main reason is that the game was very lively and the Nuggets also had 36 free throws, but the team still did not win the game, which shows that the team's playing style and strategy have no effect.

So how did the Nuggets lose? First, Jokic was targeted to defend. Jokic's score data in this game was scored 27 points, which was within the normal range. But it only depends on assists, it only has 3 times. In other words, in this game, Jokic was cut off from his teammates, and the Thunder's defensive strategy worked. More importantly, even Jokic scored, he was quite inefficient, hitting 7 goals with 22 shots.

Second, the rotation is too short and there are not many changes. The reason why the Nuggets are said to be a bright card game is because everyone knows that the Nuggets are short rotation and there are not many substitutes to use. In this game, the Nuggets seemed to be in an eight-player rotation, but Watson only played for less than 9 minutes, and Strauser only had 4 minutes and 44 seconds. To put it bluntly, it was a six-player rotation. In such high-intensity competitions, this kind of rotation is really unbearable, and it is expected to show a loss in the game.

Third, Westbrook became the barometer. In fact, as far as the current situation of the Nuggets is concerned, Westbrook is the barometer of the game. If Westbrook can play, then the Nuggets will have no substitute rotation problem. If Westbrook doesn't play, the game will be very bad. Westbrook made 2 of 12 in this game, 2 of 9 three-pointers, and only scored 6 points, with a positive and negative value on the court reaching -20. There is no way to do this, you can't pin your hopes on Westbrook every game.

In general, since this round of series, the Nuggets have shown two life goals, the first is a substitute, and the second is the disadvantages brought by short rotation. These two issues plagued the Nuggets and would also become the winners and losers of the series. On the other hand, there are many people they can use on the Thunder, which is their advantage. As the series deepens, the Nuggets will become more and more passive. Let’s see how the Nuggets will adjust in the next game.
