The performance of core players will fluctuate, but the Nuggets forward player is really stable

In the previous NBA Western Conference semi-finals G4, the Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Denver Nuggets who played at home 92-87 after a hard battle. After this game, the Thunder tied the total score of the series to 2-2, and both sides returned to the same starting line. Moreover, the Thunder also regained their home advantage after this game and regained the initiative in the series.

Although the Nuggets lost the game, the team's starting line leader Aaron Gordon still maintained a high level. Gordon played 38 minutes and 07 seconds in the game, made 5 of 10 shots, 3 of 7 from outside the three-point line, and 2 of 4 free throws, scoring 15 points, 16 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 block, including 7 frontcourt rebounds, 4 turnovers and 3 fouls, with a plus-minus value of -4. Gordon also showed comprehensive scoring ability on the offensive end. He didn't take many shots, but he also got a lot of points. Not only that, Gordon also relied on his strong confrontational ability and athletic ability to grab a lot of frontcourt rebounds, winning a large number of opportunities for the team to attack second time, and he also showed some characteristics of passing and support. Gordon also has good personal defensive abilities on the defensive end, and he can also provide some help and support to the team in terms of backcourt rebound protection. Gordon once again showed his all-roundness, but the team's overall condition was still a little worse, and his efforts were unable to help the team win.

In the NBA regular season this season, Gordon played 51 games in 82 games, averaging 28.4 minutes per game, averaging 14.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.3 blocks, and 1.4 turnovers and 1.6 fouls, shooting percentage of 53.1%, three-point shooting percentage of 43.6%, and free throw shooting percentage of 81%. So far in the playoffs, Gordon averaged 38.4 minutes in the first 11 games, with averaging 18.3 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.5 blocks, and 1.6 turnovers and 2.8 fouls. He shot 49.7%, three-point shooting percentage 41.3%, and 87% free throw shooting percentage.

Godden's performance during the playoffs was absolutely phenomenal, his offensive efficiency was quite stable, and his performance outside the three-point line was also very reliable. Gordon's various statistics have improved significantly compared to the regular season, and his importance in the team is self-evident. The most important thing is that Gordon is also a player who can stand up at critical moments. If he hadn't saved the team many times in critical moments, the Nuggets would not have even been able to enter the second round. But the Nuggets cannot rely solely on Gordon to win. With the team's two core performances poorly, Gordon's efforts cannot help the team turn the situation around.
