Check out G7! After the game, the Nuggets have 3 good news and 1 bad news, the latest news about Gordon s injury, the expert s message

On May 16, the Nuggets, who were behind 2-3, returned to the Denver Plateau to face the Thunder who won two consecutive games at home. The Nuggets, who were hanging on the line, cannot lose money. News came before the game that Murray, the second Nuggets star in this game, played with illness.

As soon as the first quarter came, Murray scored 3+1. The Thunder approached the score with three-pointers. Alexander made a difficult throw and hit the board. In the second quarter, Alexander made a mid-range jump shot and set off a counterattack. Wallace scored 5 points in a row with a sudden foreign shot. Chet completed an all-over catch and bombed the basket to help the Thunder reverse the decline. The Nuggets made a counterattack in the middle, Braun scored 5 points in a row, but the Thunder blossomed in a long time. After Chet made a three-pointer in the bottom corner, the Thunder led 2 digits 58-46, but Alexander led the fourth foul early. The Nuggets took the opportunity to hit a 12-0 attack wave, and with Dortmund's bottom corner, the Thunder led 3 points in the first half.

The change of sides and the fight again, the two sides started a tug-of-war, Jokic and Murray took over the Nuggets' offense, and Alexander also responded to the sudden and attacking. Harten had to eat and drink inside, but Strauser became the Nuggets' substitute surprise, scoring 8 points in a row at the end of the quarter, helping the Nuggets to enter the fourth quarter with an 8-point lead. At the final quarter, Murray scored three-pointers again, and the Nuggets' lead continued to expand. When Alexander returned to the court, the Nuggets had already taken the initiative in the game, and the score difference was always around 10 points. In the end, the Nuggets defeated the Thunder 119-107 at home, dragging the series into the tiebreak.

Nuggets' home court is really hard to play! Looking back on this game, the Nuggets have tried their best to ensure an effective hit rate when maintaining high-pressure defense. In terms of data comparison, assists, steals, and turnovers (scoring by mistakes), they are not much different in terms of three-point shooting percentage, but in terms of 3-point shooting percentage, the Nuggets made 12 of 32, and the Thunder made only 11 of 40, with a shooting percentage of 10 percentage points higher than the Thunder; in terms of rebound protection, the Nuggets won 12 net 52-40. After the game, the Nuggets received 3 good news and 1 bad news.

The first good news, Murray is in a hot state - although he was on duty while he was sick, Murray showed excellent competitive state from the moment he played, contributing 25 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists, plus or negative values ​​+ 28 laughing all over the game, 11 points in the first quarter, 9 points in the third quarter, and rarely get bad in the key battles. This is Murray's new label!

The second good news, the performance of the substitute players. From the moment the series and even the playoffs began, the performance of substitutes has always been the X-factor of the Nuggets. Westbrook's performance was indelible for the first round of the Clippers. His three-point shooting percentage in the series exceeded 40%. In this game, Strauser became the Nuggets' firefighter. He scored 8 points in three shots in the third quarter, helping the Nuggets to start the game, making 4 of 8 shots in the game, including 3 of 4 three-pointers and 4 of 4 free throws, scoring 15 points, with the substitute player's highest score. This is a good signal. The substitute's performance has shared the offensive pressure for the main force, allowing Jokic and Murray to get more rest time.

The third good news is that as long as Jokic and Murray are present, the Nuggets' control ability is the strongest, and the Thunder will hardly match it. In the last quarter, the Nuggets began to waste time, but the Thunder showed their fighting spirit to fight back. Through the tight defense of the whole game, the Nuggets made continuous mistakes. However, as long as the basketball returned to Yomu's hands, the Thunder could only compensate for a foul, which was difficult for the Thunder to do. In the whole game, the Thunder struggled in the Nuggets' regional joint defense. Jaylenway made 3 of the first 6 shots and lost all the last 10 shots, scoring only 6 points in the game. The second in command was not competent at all. The Nuggets' experience is beyond the reach of Thunder.

The Nuggets showed their desire for victory. After winning this game, the Nuggets played tiebreaker for two consecutive rounds, but Gordon's injury in the final quarter was worrying, which was bad news the Nuggets received. Back in the last two minutes of the last quarter, Gordon seemed to have wounded his left thigh in a pounce, and since then he has been touching the back of his left thigh, which looks very much like Curry's injury.

After the game, coach Adelman said in an interview, "I'm very worried about Gordon's injury. I don't know the situation yet, but we have 2 days to rest." Gordon himself also talked about his injury after the game. "I feel fine now. I want to start recovering immediately to make sure I'm ready for G7."

Anderson posted a photo of Gordon in the player channel, with the caption "Aron Gordon left the court carefully, but he said he felt good and had started treatment for left leg strain."

However, medical expert Evan jeffries said that Gordon suffered a hamstring strain after this round in the picture below, and his injury may have an impact on G7. Looking back at that scene, Gordon looked painful after the pounce, and kept touching the back of his left thigh. Fortunately, Gordon did not return to the locker room for treatment as soon as possible, which means that the problem is not particularly big.

Overall, Gordon's injury is still relatively optimistic, at least it is much lighter than Curry's, and the G7 should be able to play! However, I still hope that Gordon will be injured and recover to the best as soon as possible. G7 Gordon is still very important.
