The second round of Tianwang Mountain, the Thunder reversed the Nuggets 112-105, leading 3-2. In this game, the Thunder still made efforts in the final quarter, not only able to overtake, but also maintain their advantage and finally win. After the game, the Thunder welcomed 4 good news.

The most surprising thing is Alexander's point, and his adjustment ability is so outstanding. You have to know that after the first half, countless fans were accusing him of this point. However, Alexander could still recover in the second half, especially in the last few minutes of the final quarter, where Alexander could score key goals in a row, including a three-pointer that killed the game. In addition, he can also revitalize his teammates. When he sees his teammates have free space, Alexander can also be in place in time, and he has indeed achieved transformation.

Chet has become much tougher. His performance was not expected before, but the output he gave in this game was substantial. Especially the influence of the defensive end, not only should we defend Jokic, but also to prevent Murray. The overall defensive pressure is very great. Even after he goes down, the Thunder's inside defense will collapse immediately. Coupled with the stable output on the offensive end, the protection of rebounding is also possible, he finally improved his lethality.

Jerin also proved himself in this round of series. Last year, he was just a player who swung his towel. This year, Jerene defended Jokic very well, and he could also maintain perfect handling of the ball on the offense. There was also an inside pass by Nchett in the game, and his performance in offense and defense is getting stronger and stronger. As long as you play, you can lead the team to maintain the advantage in the score. The exploration of this point is a huge reinforcement for rotation.

Dort is also a heroic player. Although his performance in the previous three games was very bad, today he actually rose to the bottom of the final quarter, scored 9 points in 3 of 4, helping the team turn the tide. Don't forget that before his three-pointer, the Thunder could no longer play and was completely stunned by the Nuggets. If this point recovers, the deterrent power on the Thunder's outside line will be greatly improved.
