After all, two fists cannot beat four hands. After 12 games, the Nuggets exposed their biggest shortcomings

lost again while leading, this is Jokic's first loss in his career. It seems a bit of a pity on the surface, but if we finish watching the entire series, we will find that the Nuggets lost unjustly. In this high-intensity series, the Nuggets can complete 12 games, which is already a success. To be honest, the Nuggets were able to play with the league's No. 1 Thunder with a 6-man rotation to this stage. At least in my opinion, there were no losers in this round of the series, but I just felt sorry for Jokic.

Nuggets were turned around by their opponents while leading 2-1. Coincidentally, both games were reversed by the Thunder while the Nuggets were leading in the final quarter. At this time, many people put the charges on role players, such as Westbrook, and Porter, who was in a poor state.

First of all, we cannot deny that if the team wants to win, it must be all the players to perform. The missed shot at critical moments is indeed very harmful to morale. The most regrettable thing is that in the Battle of Tianwang Mountain, the Nuggets are still in the leading position. Losing a game in this critical game is indeed too harmful. Bad players are indeed a factor, but the real weakness of the Nuggets is actually physical fitness.

12 games have passed, and the main players of the Nuggets are definitely full of playing time. Westbrook, 36, and Porter Jr., with severe shoulder injury, are all uncertainties. I never thought that the Nuggets can play until now. Facing the young and more firepower Thunder, when the two teams ended five games, there is actually no secret between the two sides, it is just to see who has better core performance and who can seize the opportunity.

To be honest, in the battle of Tianwangshan, the Nuggets must be the more active side. The repeated battles that fell to the ground once gave them a leading advantage. If it weren't for the bad employment mistakes in the final stage, Dolter threw three three-pointers in a row, perhaps the Nuggets would win the battle of Tianwangshan. Although there was no if, it was undeniable that the Thunder did have a physical advantage.

The main players of the Nuggets have always maintained their playing time above 40 points, and Jokic has directly stretched their playing time to the limit. On the other hand, they are younger and more physically strong on the Thunder. The most important thing is that no one plays for more than 40 minutes, and the core player who chases points has only 28 minutes of playing time. As the season deepens, it is less friendly to the Nuggets. These two games have been fully proven. Although the Nuggets are the advantage, they always lose key points due to the decline in physical fitness at the last critical moment.

Although the series has not ended yet and it may usher in a strong rebound after returning to the Nuggets' home court, no matter which aspect, the Thunder has an absolute advantage, especially after Alexander gradually regains the feel of the MVP, it is even more difficult for the Nuggets. Perhaps the only thing that can support the Nuggets to continue moving forward now is the belief of not admitting defeat, but how long can this belief last?

Nuggets have reached the bottom of nowhere to retreat. If you lose another game and go home to fish, do you think the Nuggets can survive this time? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
