The substitute scored 8 points in a row, and the Nuggets dragged into the tiebreak! Gordon suspected of straining becomes a hidden danger

The Nuggets' playoffs this year are full of intensity in every round.

Firstly, he played against the Clippers until the tiebreak, and now he tied again in the second round with the Thunder. I'm afraid that after this year's playoffs, Jokic will lose at least 20 kilograms.

Once we know the result, let's take a look at this game. After losing Tianwang Mountain, the Nuggets knew what they were facing. The noisy Denver home court ushered in a thrilling showdown. Before the game, the media gave the probability of each team winning the championship. The Thunder led the way with a probability of 56.5%, while the Nuggets were only 3.8%, which was completely unpopular. At the beginning of the game, the Thunder continued their game style, and the young people performed rapidly and fiercely. Not only the offensive end, but also the Thunder's performance on the defensive end. Facing the Thunder, the Nuggets cannot hesitate at all. The scores of the two teams have risen alternately, and it is hard to say who has the upper hand. Although the Nuggets had a small climax, they took the lead for a short time. But the Thunder scored too many points, just like a mosquito, you don’t know when one will pop up.

Especially Alexander, no matter how the Nuggets defend him, he can score. Before the end of the half, relying on a buzzer-beating three-pointer from Dort, the Thunder entered the second half with a three-point lead. After the change of sides, Alexander's offense was still gorgeous, which also helped the Thunder respond to a small climax in the Nuggets' third quarter. The two teams are still in a tug-of-war, going back and forth. But at this moment, the surprise appeared. It's not the Thunder's surprise, but the Nuggets' surprise. The four words "Bench Shock" seem to be a very unfamiliar word for the Nuggets. Because everyone knows that the Nuggets' substitutes are quite poor compared to the starting lineup. Even among all playoff teams, the Nuggets' benches are at the bottom of the league, not to mention the teams in the second round.

But it was like this life-and-death battle that the Nuggets' surprise appeared. He is Strauser. At the end of the third quarter, he scored 8 points in a row, took over the game with his own strength, and dominated the trend of the game. The situation of this game gradually became clear in these two minutes. Not only Strauser, but also Braun and Watson. The former has a clear mind and knows that they try not to make mistakes in this kind of game, while the latter is a defensive contribution. These three young people were mined and trained by the Nuggets themselves, and they also stood up when the team was about to be eliminated. At the final quarter, the Nuggets established their lead in the third quarter and the momentum brought by the lead allowed the Nuggets to make a wave of success and lead by 16 points at most!

When the game was about to be lost, the tenacious Thunder came back. But in the end, it was Strauser, who made a key three-pointer and Westbrook's one-stop layup, and the Nuggets successfully killed the game! In the end, the Nuggets team was a soldier, defeating the Thunder 119-107, dragging the series into the tiebreak! This is undoubtedly the best opportunity for the Nuggets. With weak strength on paper and falling behind the opponent in the series, he dragged the series into a tiebreak without being favored. With outstanding experience and tenacity, he continued to retain suspense. But the only variable now is that Gordon seemed to have strained his hamstring in a scramble in the final quarter. Gordon is definitely the key player behind Jokic and Murray in the Nuggets' playoffs this year, and Gordon's hamstring injury can be regarded as an old problem.

And we all know the impact of hamstring injuries on players...
