Although I won the game, it also laid hidden dangers! Do you want to scold your teammates? Or is it a crisis of trust?

The NBA semi-finals officially started, with the Cavaliers and Celtics in the East being the first to fail, and both were defeated by their opponents. However, the West was also quite anxious. At the last moment of the game, the Nuggets successfully won the first game 121-119 with Gordon's three-pointer. How can they rely on these two teams? It feels like the Thunder are just resting, a little arrogant, especially the penalty kick tactics at the leading moment are even more incomprehensible. On the other hand, the Nuggets have just finished the tiebreak and are not feeling restricted by physical fitness. Of course, there is also a feeling that the main players of the Nuggets are not ashamed of anyone, but the bench is forgot, it can be said that they were completely defeated by the Thunder.

Although the Nuggets won the game, the gap between the two teams is still very obvious. The Thunder's advantage is that their substitute players, especially Caruso's performance is crucial. On the contrary, the performance of the Nuggets, besides Westbrook, can only be described as disaster. What's more, there is a hidden disaster among the main players of the Nuggets, that is, Porter Jr. It's hard to imagine what they will be tired if they continue to play 7 games in this round of series.

After the whole game, the Thunder almost pushed the Nuggets to play. Without Gordon's three-pointer, and without Jokic's big double-double, how could the Nuggets win? It is obvious that if the Nuggets want to win the series, it is impossible for Jokic to rely on Jokic to play alone. The key core is that the role players must stand up. Obviously, it is too difficult to make them stand up. Jokic is already helpless about his teammates' performance. The crisis of trust may make it difficult for the Nuggets to go far.

The game started at the third quarter, Jokic roared at Porter, but was eventually beaten by the Thunder to counterattack. Jokic directly covered his face helplessly. In the middle of the second quarter, Jokic got angry on the court, gestured at his teammates below, and directly made himself feel red. Of course, Jokic's behavior was understood. After all, Porter Jr.'s performance in this game was indeed average. In the last round of the game against the Clippers, Jokic also angrily criticized Porter Jr., and the role players did not perform enough in this game. It is indeed understandable that Jokic could have such behavior. I just hope that Jokic's anger can wake others up, otherwise it is possible that a crisis of trust will break out.

In addition to his performance against his teammates, Jokic is more strict with his own eyes. Jokic has been troubled by fouls in this game, but when he got entangled with Homgren, Jokic was not calm and pushed directly to the opponent, which caused his fouls to increase sharply. Especially in the last quarter, when he was against Dortmund, he once again had no necessary foul action, and directly hit the back of Dortmund's head, causing him to get a first-level malicious foul.

The Nuggets were able to win this game in many ways. First, the main players had a long and high-intensity playing time, which was a hidden danger for the subsequent games. Then Gordon's three-pointer win, both indispensable, but they also saw many uncertain factors. In the whole game, 18 mistakes were made, which was twice as much as the Thunder. The Thunder scored 25 points by mistakes, while the Nuggets only had 5 points. According to the overall data, the Thunder is still a better side, and it is still very difficult for the Nuggets to win the series.

This is the first game, and Jokic almost lost control. What is the next path? What is certain is that it depends on the performance of teammates. I hope this game can serve as a negative teaching material to truly awaken the role players. Do you think the Nuggets can win the series? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
