104-113! NBA West No. 1 fell 1-2, lost 1-2 overtime, and star scored 7 of 22 shots. 1 player scored in vain

The young Thunder team made great progress in the regular season and entered the playoffs with the first place in the West. They even swept the Grizzlies in the first round, with a rainbow momentum. However, facing the experienced Nuggets, this young team has encountered unprecedented challenges. Being behind 1-2, is this really the Thunder's limit? This is not only about the success or failure of this season, but also about the future direction of this young team. The suspense of the

match was not revealed until overtime. This game was like a wonderful boxing match, with both sides going back and forth, and it was hard to tell the difference. The offensive firepower displayed by the Thunder in the regular season seems to be a little blunt when facing the Nuggets' tight defense. Alexander, the Thunder leader, performed poorly in this game, making only 7 of 22 shots, which is completely different from his previous performance. In contrast, Jokic still outputs stably, while Gordon stood up at the critical moment and hit a key three-pointer, becoming the key man for the team to win. Although Jaylen Williams scored 32 points, he was helpless and failed to make a move.

Experience is sometimes more important than talent. This sentence is fully reflected in the Thunder and Nuggets' matches. Although the Thunder have talented young players, their lack of experience has become their biggest shortcoming in the face of cruel competition in the playoffs. The 14-point reversal loss in the first game and the G3 overtime loss all exposed their lack of ability to handle the ball at critical moments. This is not only reflected in the players' personal performance, but also in the team's overall tactical execution. They need to learn, grow, and accumulate more experience in the competition.

Although the Thunder are currently behind 1-2, this does not mean that their Western Conference Finals will end there. They still have opportunities and hope. The next two games will be played at the Nuggets' home court, and the challenges are undoubtedly huge, but we also see the team's tenacious fighting spirit and fighting spirit. They need to adjust their state, find the offensive rhythm again, and be more focused on the defensive end. More importantly, they need to believe in themselves, the team, and each other.

I remembered the spirit of "seeking victory in adversity" in traditional Chinese culture. Countless heroes and heroes have shown unyielding perseverance when facing difficulties, and finally overcome difficulties and achieve success. Isn’t the Thunder’s current situation just like this “adversity”? Can they rise up in adversity like ancient heroes and complete a shocking reversal?

Next, let's wait and see if this young Thunder team can show their strength in the next game and write their legend. Can they do it? I think the answer can only be given by themselves. Let us look forward to them together, hoping that they can leave their figure on the stage of the Western Conference Finals!
