7 three-pointers + 42%! Westbrook kills his old club! Gordon brings the young master to realize his dream, brothers are back with basketball

Recently, the US media selected the most critical player in the first round of the playoffs, and Nuggets player Westbrook was nominated. In the series between the Nuggets and the Clippers, Westbrook averaged 13.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.3 steals per game, shooting percentage of 43.3%, three-point shooting percentage of 41.9%, and free throw shooting percentage of 70.6%. If you only look at the basic data, Westbrook performed extremely well, but it cannot be compared with the core players of other teams. However, fans who have watched the entire series understand why Westbrook was nominated.

As we all know, the biggest disadvantage of the Nuggets winning the championship season two years ago is the depth of the lineup. At that time, the Nuggets had Brown who could do everything. Brown helped the team in defense, organization, and scoring. After winning the championship season, the Nuggets have proved that the starting five-man team in the playoffs in the past two years. The Lakers have also fallen into this dilemma this season. Redick's attempt to win the series by killing the main players failed. This season, the Nuggets finally welcomed their sixth man Westbrook, who provided the sixth man firepower and passion on the field. Without him, the Nuggets would not have been able to pass the Clippers' level.

After the Clippers traded to Harden last season, Harden replaced Westbrook as the team's starting point guard. Westbrook, who had performed well, was not depressed because of this and was willing to give way to Harden. However, the clever Clippers exchanged Westbrook for Dunn in the offseason, which is a bit insulting. In this round of series, the Nuggets adopted a short strategy against Dunn. Dunn still couldn't make those open three-pointers most of the time. When the Clippers adopted the same strategy against Westbrook, Westbrook hit the 42% three-point shooting percentage in the series. According to statistics from the US media, Westbrook scored a total of 7 key bottom corner three-pointers in the series against the Clippers, including the three-pointer that dragged the first game into overtime. Of course, in addition to the offensive end, Westbrook's defensive contribution cannot be ignored. According to statistics, since this year's playoffs, Westbrook's opponent's shooting percentage has been limited to 34.1% and his three-point shooting percentage is 29.2%. There are too many stars in the league who failed in the transition from absolute core to role players. Westbrook constantly adapts to the role with his unyielding spirit, full of vitality, and technological evolution, and eventually becomes an indispensable player for the Nuggets. He will still be the biggest X factor in the Nuggets' Thunder series.

In the last game when the Nuggets reversed the Thunder, Westbrook dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and found Gordon who was open. After receiving the ball, Gordon pulled out and completed a three-pointer final kill. After the game, Gordon was interviewed by a reporter and said: "I am doing my best to win a ring for Russell Westbrook."

Thanks Gordon for bringing the young master to realize his dream! With a 300-year salary, he is willing to give up his figure and do dirty and tiring work. Westbrook is playing the purest basketball. He wants to fight side by side with the Nuggets and other brothers to win the championship.
