Nuggets 93-125 Thunder! The helpless thing is not losing, but Westbrook talks about staying after the game

The Nuggets still lost in the tiebreak, losing 93-125 away from the Thunder and was eliminated 3-4. To be honest, the Nuggets went from replacing coach Zhuge Malong to entering the playoffs with fourth place. Then there are banishing the powerful Clippers and 7 games against the Thunder, the No. 1 in the league. These have shown the Nuggets' strong combat power. Perhaps what the Nuggets have to do in the offseason is not big deals, but whole money is exchanged for loose money. There is no doubt that Jokic, Murray and Gordon are the basics.

Braun grew rapidly and was also the team's iron starter in the future. The problem is still about Porter Jr. His contract is too big, he renews his contract early after five years of maximum salary, and the contract has 2 years left. This puts the Nuggets under great rotation pressure. The Nuggets' task in the offseason may be to trade Porter Jr. and exchange it for some loose money to fill the bench. In fact, the Nuggets wanted to take action against Porter on the deadline this year, but unfortunately they couldn't sell it. In the final analysis, the Nuggets died in the main players in the playoffs this time.

Nuggets basically rotate 6 people. Many people say Westbrook is not good at playing the Thunder. In fact, the young master helped the Nuggets relieve a large part of the rotation pressure. If Westbrook hadn't been Westbrook, Porter Jr. would have been so super weird, and the Nuggets' rotation could not last for seven games in the semi-finals and the Thunder. Moreover, Gordon's hamstring strain is also the reason for transitional consumption. That's right, today Gordon Xue once made a forced comeback with a second-degree hamstring strain, but Gordon's explosive power on the field is visible to the naked eye.

That's why we said we should respect some players who play with injuries. They are not easy. If the injury worsens, it will be more than worth the loss. Harden was in G1 for more than ten seconds before, and later G5 Tianwangshan made a comeback to help Durant relieve stress. At that time, Harden had already made a comeback in a hurry. After all, he had to recover from the second-degree hamstring normally for 1-2 months. Gordon made a comeback after only two days of rest, so he can only be said to be a tough guy. Both Murray and Gordon said after the game that the team would do it again.

Head coach Adelman is very popular among players, and the Westbrook Nuggets with a basic salary also need to stay. In fact, Westbrook is also valuable in this playoffs. His performance against the Clippers in the first round was super-powered, with a three-point shooting percentage of 42%, but Westbrook's feel was not there in the second round, and his stronger defense against the Thunder was a bit restricted. But throughout the playoffs, Westbrook was able to contribute 11.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.6 assists, and his three-point shooting percentage dropped to 32% after the second round.

Westbrook averaged 13.3 points, 4.9 rebounds and 6.1 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 45%, which is actually quite sweet. After today, Westbrook and Alexander hugged and laughed, wishing the new Thunder king the throne. The young master has regrets, but he can afford to lose. In fact, the Nuggets still hopes that Westbrook will stay in the team. Murray praised Westbrook's energy throughout the season, and he hopes to win the championship with this team next year. Jokic ordered the lineup to be strengthened.

Jokic said: "I must admit that this year's playoff experience makes us need more rotation depth. The teams in the current division finals all have long rotations."

However, Westbrook's statement after the game did not say that he would stay. Nuggets' team reporter Vinny Benedetto said that he asked Westbrook whether to implement player options after the game? Westbrook said nothing was beyond his mind. Next season, Westbrook's annual salary of 3.47 million will be decided on June 30. If possible, Westbrook would still stay, there is no team that is more suitable for him than the Nuggets.
