The truth is revealed! The reason why the Nuggets Heavenly King Mountain loses to Thunder is revealed, Westbrook is not the number one sinner

Basketball

In the battle between the Thunder and the Nuggets in the Western Conference semi-finals not long ago, the Thunder finally reversed the Nuggets 112-105 at home, leading the Nuggets 3-2 in the series. In this game, Jokic burned out all of it, made 17 of 25 shots in the game, scored 44 points, 15 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals, and scored 11 points in a row in the final stage, but he still failed to lead the Nuggets to win a key victory. After this battle, Jokic broke his unbeaten golden body in Tianwang Mountain. Before that, his Tianwang Mountain record was 6 wins and 0 losses.

Nuggets had no outside feel in this game, and the team made 13 of 46 three-pointers. Except for Jokic, other teammates made 8 of 39 three-pointers, and their teammates made wild blackshots. Even if Jokic fires fully, it will be useless. The Nuggets were reversed by the Thunder, and there were three people who needed to take the blame in this game.

First of all, Westbrook felt cold in this game, with 1 of 7 shots in the game, 0 of 3 three-pointers, and two embarrassing scenes of not playing with three points, and he only scored 4 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists. Moreover, Westbrook has been in a bad state recently. He has scored in single digits in three consecutive games, with a total of 27 shots and only hits 6 goals.

followed by Porter Jr. Porter Jr.'s performance in this game was eye-catching. He made 1 of 7 shots in the game, 0 of 5 three-pointers, and several three-pointers were ridiculously short. In the end, he only scored 2 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists. Although Westbrook's performance on the offensive end is not good, his performance on the defensive end is still remarkable. Porter Jr.'s offense was poor, and his defensive end was useless, and he completely became a negative effect on the court. In addition, Westbrook's annual salary is only 3.3 million, while Porter's annual salary is as high as 35.86 million, which is more than ten times that of Westbrook. Although Porter Jr.'s downturn may be due to a shoulder injury, it is not appropriate to perform like this with a high salary. Porter Jr. has become a representative player with high salary and low energy. If the Nuggets want to strengthen their lineup, they must clear him out.

Finally, head coach David Adelman. Adelman Jr.'s on-site command made people feel desperate. In the critical fourth quarter, he actually kept Porter Jr. on the court and did not give Westbrook and Watson any chance. If Adelman can replace Porter Jr. as soon as possible, the Nuggets may not be reversed in the fourth quarter.

For the Nuggets, after losing Tianwang Mountain, it is basically destined to be difficult for them to win the semi-finals. Even if they can eliminate the Thunder by chance, the team has very serious problems and it will be difficult for them to break out of the West. Jokic is 30 years old and may still have a few years of peak period, but he will not waste his great years on the Nuggets. The Nuggets must solve the team's substitute problem this summer, otherwise Jokic may apply to leave the team.
