Facing the Thunder, his state plummeted! Can Westbrook get his feel when facing the Clippers in time?

In the previous NBA Western Conference semi-finals G5, the Oklahoma City Thunder played at home and made a strong effort in the final quarter, defeating the Denver Nuggets 112-105, winning this key battle at Kings Mountain. After this game, the Thunder widened the total score of this series to 3-2, not only gaining the advantage but also getting the match point; while the Nuggets will face a desperate battle in the series G6.

The Nuggets' substitute point guard Russell Westbrook was very disappointing in this game. Westbrook played 19 minutes and 41 seconds in the game, 1 of 7 shots, 0 of 3 from outside the three-point line, 2 of 2 free throws, scored 4 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal, and had 2 turnovers and 3 fouls, with a plus-negative value of -1. Westbrook is still inefficient on the offensive end, his scoring ability is not fully utilized, he has not fully demonstrated his own characteristics, and he has also wasted a lot of opportunities. Westbrook's performance in passing and organizing offense is also not ideal, and he has not shown his ability in this regard. Not only that, Westbrook's performance on the defensive end was also slightly average, and he did not show sufficiently reliable defensive ability. Overall, Westbrook's effect on the court was really bad. He seemed a little too anxious in this game. He did not play the role of the team's second team well, and his support for the team in this regard is relatively limited.

In the NBA regular season this season, Westbrook made a total of 75 appearances in 82 games, averaging 27.9 minutes per game, averaging 13.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, 6.1 assists, 1.4 steals and 0.5 blocks, and 3.2 turnovers and 2.5 fouls. His shooting percentage was 44.9%, three-point shooting percentage was 32.3%, and free throw shooting percentage was 66.1%. In the playoffs, Westbrook played a total of 24.9 minutes in the first 11 games, averaging 12.5 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.1 steals, 2 turnovers and 3.5 fouls, shooting percentage of 39.8%, three-point shooting percentage of 32.1%, and free throw shooting percentage of 72.2%.

Westbrook performed well in the first round against his old club, the Los Angeles Clippers. He also took on a lot of responsibilities on both offense and defense and made great contributions to the team's promotion. However, in this round of the series, facing his old club, Thunder, Westbrook's condition can be said to have been declining sharply, his offensive efficiency is getting worse and worse, he has no touch outside the three-point line, and his concentration on the defensive end has also declined significantly. Westbrook's performance also directly led to the serious lack of competitiveness of the team's second team, which also affected the team's record to a certain extent. Westbrook is still very important to the Nuggets at the moment, after all, there is no one available on the bench. If Westbrook still cannot recover in the life-and-death battle between G6, the team's prospects are very worrying.
