At 3:30 a.m. Beijing time on April 25, the Denver Nuggets sat at home to meet the first round of the playoffs, the Golden State Warriors. In the previous game, the pork belly essence Jokic alone fought against the strong firepower brought by the combination of "water flower tea", and it was difficult to support it alone, which made people feel helpless.
This game is the fourth game between the two sides, and it is a life-and-death battle for the Nuggets, who can't win the ball and go home to fish. Therefore, they will definitely use eighteen martial arts to compete for victory. For the Warriors, if they can sweep their opponents to advance, they can rest and watch the epic talent competition between the Timberwolves vs. Grizzlies with pay.
Sure enough, the two teams were very excited at the beginning, and the gunpowder was for sure. Although the shooting rate was not impressive at first, the Warriors still found a way to score from the outside to take the lead in blowing the offensive horn. Jokic saw that the formation was not good, and quickly activated the offensive mode to help the team score points and enter the second quarter with a five-point lead.
In the second quarter, the Nuggets continued their fiery hand, allowing Wiggins and Cumming to chase points, still maintaining a strong firepower output, and the Nuggets led by 11 points 63-52 at halftime.
The Nuggets and Warriors both found their touch, with Klay and Maurice both shooting three-pointers from the outside to stage a matchup, and then Curry also hit a few shots to chase the score for the team. The two sides entered a fierce end of the quarter, and Curry was ordered to become a savior, using the assault inside score to chase points for the Warriors and complete the rebound.
Helplessly, the Nuggets were united in their determination, Morris shot a key three-pointer to help the Nuggets rebound, and Barton threw a fatal three-pointer to kill the game. In the end, the Nuggets won the 126-121 Warriors at home to win the first game of this round of playoffs to avoid being swept!
After the Nuggets rewrote the big score to 1-3, the Nets "lying gun" became the object of hot discussion in the media. The Nets have lost three games in a row, plus their last loss to the Celtics, and they are in danger of being swept out of the first round.
NBA star Barkley was also asked what he thought of Durant's performance when he participated in a show. Obviously, Durant's aberration in this series surprised everyone, after all, he has been in the name of "death" for a long time, and now he is about to be "killed" by his opponent in the playoffs, and he is powerless.
Barkley said, "A player who averages less than 20 points per game in the playoffs, don't tell me he's a top player." I remember never scoring that low in the playoffs (Barkley averaged 14.9 points per game in the playoffs in '85). ”
"You're always talking about him as a champion player, but in my case, if you're just a passenger on a bus, then a championship is meaningless. If you're not a bus driver, don't go around saying you're a champion all day. Every bus passenger has a championship ring, which is fine. ”
"But if you're a bus driver and you play key in the race and make your teammates better, it's not the same."
Apparently, Barkley is mocking the "fact" that Durant, despite holding two championships, does not contain much gold. Moreover, his use of "passenger" to describe Durant's intention of "arriving at the station by means of transportation" greatly satirizes Durant's failure to fully prove his intentions.
Perhaps, the next game is not just a matter of the Nets winning or going home, it seems to be the proof battle of the top five in the Durant league, and even the proof battle of the NBA's historical level stars!
Will Durant prove himself?
