The Clippers tiebreaker collapsed! Wang Meng: It started with psychology! Xu Jingyu: Let s retire and retire!

In the first round of the NBA playoffs in the West this year, the showdown between the Nuggets and the Clippers became the focus of the battle. The two sides tied 3-3 in the first six games, which also made the outcome of this tiebreak battle full of suspense. In this game, the Clippers made a lineup adjustment and replaced Dunn with Jones Jr. to start. At the beginning of the game, Jones Jr. showed strong strength, and Braun was not showing any weakness on the Nuggets and won the team's first five points.

However, entering the second quarter, the Clippers encountered trouble in their offense and only scored two points in the first four minutes. At the critical moment, Westbrook ushered in an explosion. Under his leadership, the Nuggets scored a 10-2 climax and completed the overtake.

At the end of the half, the Clippers were already 11 points behind. When he came back in the second half, the Nuggets' offensive became even more fierce, and he launched a 17-0 offensive, widening the gap to more than 20. In the end, the Nuggets defeated the Clippers 120-101 and successfully entered the Western Conference semi-finals, while the Clippers were eliminated, ending the journey of this season.

This is not the first time that the Nuggets have eliminated Los Angeles teams in the first round. Last year, they eliminated the Lakers 4-1 in the first round and this year, showing their strong strength.

And for the Clippers, this loss is undoubtedly painful. After the game, Clippers coach Tyron Lu was interviewed and said: "When you lose G7 and get eliminated, it's hard to think about these things right away."

At the same time, he also reviewed the Clippers this season, "Before the start of the season, we should have been a 35-win team, but we finally won 50 games. We played against a strong team, and we had a chance."

In this game, the performance of the players also attracted much attention. Harden scored only 7 points on 2 of 8 in the game, and after this game, his average average of 19.3 points in his career tiebreak (7 games) was 3-4.

The gap is obvious compared to the top four players in the NBA's history tiebreaker. Durant (5 games) averaged 36.2 points per game, James (8 games) averaged 34.9 points per game, Jordan (3 games) averaged 33.7 points per game, and Curry (5 games) averaged 32.6 points per game.

However, although Harden has performed poorly in this game, he has played nearly 80 games in the regular season and played 47 minutes in the playoffs, making a huge contribution to the team. Commentator Xu Jingyu also said that although Harden's G7 was not performing well enough, this year's Clippers, he is a respectable team MVP.

And the performance and contract prospects of Clippers guard Norman Powell have also become the topic of post-match. In the whole game, Norman Powell played 32 minutes and 20 seconds, made 4 of 11 shots, 0 of 3 three-pointers, 1 of 1 free throw, scoring 9 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block.

Regular season, Powell played in 60 games, averaging 21.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.2 steals, and a 41.8% three-point shooting percentage, setting a career high.

From the first day after the finals this year, Powell is eligible to sign a four-year $128.5 million contract. However, considering that Powell is 32 this month and he has been dealing with durability — in only one season, Powell has played more than 60 games in just one season — this could put the Clippers on hold for more than 2 years (contract years).

The commentator and commentator also expressed their opinions on this game. Commentator Wang Meng commented after the game: "Crashing always starts psychologically... People with fighting spirit and resilience will also lose, but they won't."

, and commentator Xu Jingyu criticized Tyron-Lu's employment, believing that he would put the starting small forward Derek-Jones Jr. who averaged 30 minutes per game to the finals last season, which put the bench, which made Dunn, who was inefficient in offense and short-sized in defense, the body of a short-sized Dunn. At the same time, he also criticized Kazi, believing that he had no competitive spirit. His performance in health-making and making money like this year has made the team disappointed every year and suggested that he retire and retire. The victory or defeat of a game is not only a reflection of the score, but also a comprehensive reflection of many factors such as team strength, player performance, and coaching tactics. For the Clippers, although this season ended in failure, they also have a lot to summarize and reflect on.

And for the Nuggets, they will continue to move towards higher goals in the Western Conference semi-finals with confidence in this victory. I believe that in future games, both the Clippers and the Nuggets will bring us more exciting performances.
