Murray s Battle of Kings Mountain is the gods! The Nuggets aim at the Western Finals, can the Clippers turn the tables against the wind?

On April 30, G5 of the NBA playoffs in the first round of the West ushered in a key showdown - the Nuggets faced the Clippers at home. This game is called "The Battle of Heavenly Kings Mountain" by fans, and whoever wins will hold the match point. As a result, the Nuggets defeated the Clippers 131-115, leading 3-2 in total. Nuggets defender Jamal Murray scored 43 points and made 8 of 14 three-pointers, becoming the focus of the game. Jokic contributed a triple-double (13 points, 12 rebounds and 12 assists), Westbrook scored 21 points in his comeback, and players such as Gordon and Braun also exploded collectively. In contrast, Harden scored only 11 points in the Clippers, Zubac scored 27 points in the past, and the team's overall condition was sluggish, and eventually suffered a 16-point defeat.

Murray's 43 points are like a cheat! From scoring 10 points alone in the first quarter to setting up the gap, to spraining ankle in the last quarter and igniting the whole game, he proved with his actions that at the critical moment, he still has to look at the "little mute"! Don’t say that the efficiency of 8 out of 14 has to be said to anyone who has to say “this is so scary”. But Murray alone is not enough. The Nuggets can win because of the four words "team basketball". Jokic's triple-double organization, Westbrook's comeback burst, Gordon and Braun's stable output, how is this playing? It's just "group combat"!

But then again, the Clippers' operation is really incomprehensible. Harden scored 11 points on 3 of 9 shots. Is this here for vacation? Although Leonard scored a quasi-triple double-double of 20+9+11, he made 1 of 6 three-pointers, and the key goal was completely lost. What's the matter? What's even more outrageous is that Zubac carried the whole team alone and scored 27 points, but his teammates seemed to be watching a show. You said you have a lineup of stars, but all the players were lying flat at critical moments. What is this not a "paper tiger"?

Murray's performance in this game reminds me of a sentence: "Heroes don't ask where they come from." As a second-round pick, he has now left Aaron Gordon and has become the player with the most 40+ games in a single playoff game in the team history. The Nuggets team is like "old sauerkraut" - the more you boil, the more you become, the more you play, the more stable you play. And what about the Clippers? There are obviously "Big Four", but they always lose their chains in the playoffs. Isn't this "star dependence"?

The smoke of the battle of Tianwang Mountain has not yet dissipated, but the Nuggets have already held the match point. Murray's 43 points are not only a carnival of data, but also the best annotation for team basketball. Can the Clippers stage a Jedi counterattack in G6? Can Harden regain confidence? The ending of this series may redefine the fate of both teams. Do you think the Nuggets will easily advance, or will the Clippers create miracles?
