The feel and confidence are back! The Nuggets wings performance against the Clippers is really good at both offense and defense

In a previous NBA playoff game, the Denver Nuggets, who returned to their home court, defeated the Los Angeles Clippers 120-101. After this game, the Nuggets, who won the life-and-death battle in the tiebreak, successfully advanced to the Western Conference semi-finals. They will compete with the Oklahoma City Thunder for a spot in the Western Conference Finals; while the Clippers lost their chains again in such a life-and-death battle, and fell in the first round of the playoffs again.

In this game, the Nuggets' starting shooting guard Christian Braun also maintained his stable performance during the playoffs. Braun played 38 minutes and 10 seconds in the game, made 8 of 15 shots, 3 of 5 shots from outside the three-point line, and 2 of 4 free throws. With stable efficiency, he scored 21 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal, including 3 frontcourt rebounds, and 1 foul, and the plus and negative value also reached +11. Braun still showed his good off-ball movement, empty-cut ability and basket-scoring ability on the offensive end, and his feel in outside shooting has also improved significantly. Braun effectively restricted James Harden on the defensive end, resulting in a disaster-like performance. Braun's brave state on both offense and defense is also an important factor in the team being able to win in such a key game.

In the NBA regular season this season, Braun played a total of 79 games in 82 games, averaging 33.9 minutes per game, averaging 15.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.5 blocks, and 1 turnover and 2.2 fouls. He shot 58% from the field, 39.7% from three-point shooting percentage and 82.7% from free throws. In the playoffs, Braun averaged 39.4 minutes in the first seven games, with averaging 12.6 points, 6 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.1 steals, 0.4 blocks, and 0.6 turnovers and 3 fouls. He shot 49.3%, three-point shooting percentage 32%, and free throw shooting percentage 46.2%.

In fact, Braun's performance in the first few games of the playoffs was somewhat ups and downs, his efficiency on the offensive end was also not ideal, and his feel outside the three-point line was even more terrible. However, as the schedule deepens, it seems that Braun has gradually adapted to this intensity of confrontation and rhythm. His performance on the defensive end has always been very stable, and his performance on the offensive end has improved significantly. But on the other hand, Braun's outstanding performance on the offensive end is also closely related to Harden, who defends him. In the next round of the series, they will face the Thunder with a large number of excellent defensive players. Can Braun's performance on the offensive end still be at this level?
