Malone angrily intimidated reporters after the race
Thanks to Jokic's tireless efforts, the Denver Nuggets eventually won a game, Game 4 of the series, when they successfully beat the Warriors 126-121 at home, refusing to sweep and rewriting the series to 1-3. This is undoubtedly a familiar number, the Nuggets have been 1-3 behind, the continuous reversal of the Jazz and Clippers, to the Western Conference Finals, as for the Warriors, in the case of a 3-1 lead, tragically reversed by the Cleveland Cavaliers, and is the stage of the Finals.
After the game, Malone confidently said: When we return home to play the sixth game, the audience will give us the same support! However, after the reporters at the scene heard these words, they all began to laugh, and at this time, Malone said with a serious and angry face: What are you laughing at?
The Nuggets didn't lose confidence
From here, it can be seen that Malone has not lost confidence in the series, and he still believes that the team can reverse the game and become the winner of this series. As for Jokic, he was asked: the team has completed the reversal after falling behind 1-3, how do you see the current situation? Jokic responded: "It's all a backwater battle anyway, why not this time?" It has to be said that the Nuggets, from the head coach to the star of the house, have not lost confidence in this game. Of course, this game, the attitude of the Nuggets players, is also enough to illustrate this problem.
Jokic once again showed the style of the league's first center, shooting 14 of 21 from the field, 3 of 5 from three-point range, 6 of 6 from the free throw line, and 37 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists. Gordon shrugged off the slump of his previous games, aggressive on the offensive end, with 21 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists on 5-of-11 shooting and 13 free throws, Morris 24 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists, Hyland 15 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists, cousins also had 10 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists on 3-of-3 shooting, just playing 10 minutes, very efficient.
In addition, it must be praised for Rivers. Although In this game, Rivers shot 1 of 5, but Malone still let him play 36 minutes, second only to Jokic, why? He was excellent at Curry's defense, delivering five steals, including a final-minute steal of the Warriors' sideline serve to seal the win for the team.
Clay responded to the number of fouls
Although Steven Curry played as a substitute, he still bombed 33 points, 3 rebounds, 8 assists and 4 steals, playing 37 minutes, and it is obvious that he has no time limit on playing. It just so happened that in this game, Poole shot 3 of 10, only 11 points, 9 assists and 3 steals, that is, Kerr's next game, there are enough reasons for Curry to return to the starting lineup. However, the Warriors' best performer of the game may still be Klay Thompson, who still bombed 32 points, 4 rebounds and 2 steals in the first quarter, including 7 of 11 three-pointers.
If it weren't for these bad fouls, the team that won the game would most likely be the Golden State Warriors, after all, Clay's three-pointer in this game is really too good. After the game, Clay also talked about fouls: I have to have a better performance in this area, and our team has to deal with fouls smarter. In this game, the Warriors committed as many as 27 fouls and gave the Nuggets 36 free throws, which became the key to their loss of the game. However, Wiggins' performance in this game is also remarkable, with 20 points, 6 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks on 9-of-16 shooting, which is also a proof of himself.
