G4 in the Western Conference Semi-Finals, the smoke of gunpowder disappeared, the Nuggets lost at home, with a total score of 2-2. What happened in this game? Let’s review this regrettable game together and explore the significance and impact on future trends. At the beginning of the game, the Nuggets were trapped in an offensive quagmire. In the first quarter, they scored only 8 points, and their sports scored only 2 points, and their three-pointers were even more terrible, with 0 of 14 shots! This is incredible for a team with a top offensive core like Jokic. This undoubtedly gave the Thunder great confidence and directly laid the tone of the game. Could it be that they were not prepared before the game? Or is the opponent's defensive strategy too accurate? All of this is worth our deep consideration.

Although Jokic scored 27 points and 13 rebounds in the whole game, showing his MVP-level dominance, his teammates seemed powerless. Murray's sluggish performance was particularly worrying, with only 1 of 6 shots in the game, which is in stark contrast to his previous outstanding performance. Although Gordon exploded in the third quarter, he failed to continue to achieve stable output. Could it be that there is a problem with the team's tactical system? Or do the players’ psychological quality need to be further improved?

Nuggets made only 3 of 25 three-pointers, and their poor shooting percentage became the epitome of this game. This is absolutely unacceptable for a modern basketball team. The sluggish three-pointers directly led to a decline in the team's offensive efficiency and also gave the Thunder more room to defend. Is this a sluggish player's condition or a mistake in tactical arrangement? We need deeper analysis to find the answer.

The Nuggets lost a key game at home and equalized to 2-2. This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to them. Originally, he had the chance to end the game in G4, but the final defeat ignited the suspense of the series again, and the Thunder also saw a chance to counterattack. Does this mean that the Nuggets' dynasty road will end? The next game will be more intense and cruel.

In the next game, the Nuggets need to carefully summarize the experience and lessons learned and actively adjust their tactical strategies. They need to find a solution to the sluggish three-point shooting problem, and they need to improve the team's overall offensive efficiency. At the same time, we should also pay attention to the psychological state of the players to help them overcome the pressure and return to their best condition. Can the Nuggets regain their confidence? Can they adjust their form in the next game and finally advance to the Western Conference Finals? All of this will be the focus of fans' attention.

Let us look forward to the next game together and send blessings to these two teams! Do you think the Nuggets can turn the situation around? Welcome to leave your opinions and predictions in the comment section!
