In the second game of the NBA playoffs, the Nuggets once again defeated the Warriors 106-126. In this game, the Nuggets core Jokic was expelled from the game with a dissatisfied decision, and the performance of the team's big player Gordon continued to be sluggish. In the game, Gordon had only 7 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists on 3-of-9 shooting.
In the last game, Gordon's play was very sluggish. In his 26-minute game, he had 8 points and 5 rebounds on 3-of-10 shooting. After playing two games, Gordon scored 15 points on 6-of-19 shooting, with an aggregate plus-minus of -23.
In the second game with the Warriors, Gordon had some impressions except for receiving a three-point pass from Jokic in the bottom left corner, and gordon was almost invisible at other times.
In the playoffs, Gordon currently averages just 7.5 points per game, shooting 31.6 percent from the field, 14.3 percent from three-point range, and even 66.7 percent from the free throws.
In the regular season this season, Goe can also score 15 points on the field, shooting 52%, shooting 33.5% from three-point range and shooting 74.3% from the free throw line. But in the playoffs, Gordon withered again.
Gordon, who entered the NBA since the 2014-15 season, is just the third playoff trip of his career. And in the past, he's never proven himself in the playoffs.
Last season, Gordon joined the Nuggets for his second playoff. In 10 games, he averaged 11.1 points per game and shot 43.4 percent from the field, which is actually not outstanding. But because the Nuggets have had a hard time bringing in big stars over the years, and Gordon has had a good time on the defensive end, especially when defending Lillard, the Nuggets chose to renew his contract even though he did not perform well against paul and Booker's Suns.
Last summer, Gordon renewed his contract with the Nuggets on a four-year, $92 million contract. But this season's playoffs have been played, and Gordon's form has dropped sharply compared to the regular season. As the Nuggets' no. 2 scorer in the regular season, Gordon's performance was so sluggish that he couldn't help Jokic share the pressure. And such a performance is difficult not to let Gordon be questioned again.
