G7 wins 38 points! The East-West Finals are coming! The Nuggets have a "thigh" injury, and it turns out that the remaining ones are the king

Basketball

On May 17, in the second round of the Eastern Conference, the Knicks defeated the Celtics 119-81 at home, and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals 4-2 with a big score! It is worth mentioning that this is the first time that the Knicks have entered the Eastern Conference Final in 25 years.

So far, the Eastern Conference Finals are released, with the Knicks vs Pacers. This set of matches was far beyond everyone's expectations. Before the playoffs started, it was generally believed that the Celtics and the Cavaliers would go to the Eastern Conference Finals. After all, both the two teams have better results in both regular season rankings and facing other teams, and the Cavaliers and the Celtics are both favorites to win the championship.

The biggest variable that leads to this result is injury. All core players in the east and west of this year's playoffs were injured.

The Celtics are Tatum's team. If the Rabbits are not reimbursed, the Celtics will play. After 2-0 in the first two games, the Celtics won a game in G3, and the momentum of the series has turned to the Celtics. The first two games were mainly because the Celtics made too poor three-pointers. According to the law of conservation of energy, their three-pointers can always return to normal levels. However, because of the injury of the Otter Rabbit, the Celtics' plan was disrupted, and the Celtics' enthusiasm and offensive firepower dropped rapidly, and the Knicks took away the series without bloodshed.

Cavaliers were even more miserable. They first injured the three main players Mobley, Garland and Hunter. The key G4 Mitchell was injured and retreated. The Pacers finally defeated the Cavaliers 4-1.

The same thing happened in the west. The Warriors and the Timberwolves were close, but after Curry was reimbursed, he completely closed the Warriors' door to enter the Eastern Conference Finals. On the other hand, the Thunder and the Nuggets played hard in the first six games. The Thunder are young and have a good lineup. The Nuggets have rich playoff experience and the best starting group in the league. The tiebreak battle will be extremely exciting. But according to the latest news, Nuggets starter power forward Gordon may not play in the G7.

According to famous reporter Shams, Aaron Gordon suffered a left hamstring strain and was not sure whether to play with the Thunder G7 (in doubt)! Subsequently, Nuggets reporter Tony Jones reported that Gordon's G7's status has been officially listed as questionable.

Hamstring strain + playing is suspicious. Everyone knows what this means. Even if Gordon is an Iron Man, as long as he doesn't play in a closed position, he will not be able to return after two days of rest. Gordon is undoubtedly the thigh around his teacher. In this playoff journey, Gordon averaged 16.8 points and 7.3 rebounds per game, setting a career high in the playoffs. He stood up at critical moments many times to score a winning goal or a draw. The problem is that there are very few people available to the Nuggets. If Gordon doesn't play, the probability of the Nuggets advancing to the Western Conference Finals becomes slim. Unless you ask the teacher to come down to earth and score 45+20+10 or more, you have to do it without your teammates being too bad, which is too difficult for the Nuggets, who are exhausted away from home.

As expected, the remaining players in the playoffs are the king, and I hope there will be no injuries in the subsequent games.
