It s indeed hard enough, but the injury of the Nuggets forward player obviously affected his performance?

In the previous NBA Western Conference semi-finals G7, the Oklahoma City Thunder, who played at home, defeated the Denver Nuggets 125-93. After this game, the Thunder locked the total score of the series at 4-3 and successfully advanced to the Western Conference Finals. Next, the Thunder will compete with the Minnesota Timberwolves for a finals, while the Nuggets will be out of the Western Conference semi-finals for two consecutive seasons.

In this game, Nuggets forward player Aaron Gordon, who was troubled by a hamstring injury, still played as the starter. Gordon played 24 minutes and 30 seconds in the game, made 2 of 4 shots, 1 of 3 from outside the three-point line, and 3 of 3 free throws, and scored 9 points and 11 rebounds, including 4 frontcourt rebounds, 4 turnovers and 1 foul, with a plus-minus value of -9. Gordon was affected by injury and was indeed unable to reach the best level in his condition. His scoring ability was not fully utilized, and he was unable to take on more responsibilities on the offensive end. However, Gordon is actually working hard enough on the court. He also showed his good defensive ability due to injuries. He has been fighting for rebounds. Gordon has tried his best, but unfortunately such injuries have indeed caused him to not reach a satisfactory level in his condition, and other teammates are in a terrible level. It is indeed difficult for Gordon to affect the situation in the game in this situation.

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%. During the playoffs, Gordon averaged 37.3 minutes in these 14 games, with averaging 16.2 points, 7.6 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 0.6 steals, and 0.4 blocks. He also had 1.9 turnovers and 2.4 fouls. His shooting percentage was 48.5%, three-point shooting percentage was 37.9%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 86%.

Gordon's performance during the playoffs this season was actually very outstanding. His offensive efficiency was quite good, his scoring ability was also worthy of recognition, and he also maintained good outside shooting stability. Gordon's performance on the defensive end is also remarkable, and he also showed outstanding personal defensive ability. Gordon has played his value on both offense and defense, and his effect on the court is obvious to all. If it weren't for his outstanding performance, the team might have been eliminated early. But Gordon did seem too intense throughout the playoffs, which is also an important factor in his injury, and he really has no way to take on more responsibilities under such circumstances.
