Two players who let Westbrook play more and control the ball are eliminated. The Warriors are not favored. Can Curry advance?

Congratulations to the Nuggets team, they defeated the Clippers 120-101 in the first round of the playoffs, and they will play against the Thunder in the Western Conference semi-finals.

is a pity for the Clippers. Although many fans like Harden, Harden does have too many old problems in the playoffs, which is related to his lack of strong and rich attack methods.

And many fans like Westbrook, who also likes them. Westbrook, like Harden, is a player who needs to prove himself. In the end, Westbrook advanced with a smile, and the hard-working people are always cute.

Russell Westbrook made a substitute for 27 minutes in this game, making 5 of 9 shots in the game, 2 of 4 three-pointers and scored 16 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 steals. After the game, Westbrook said in an interview that he was proud of himself and that he could show a natural force on the court. No matter what this looks like, it could be a mistake, a steal, a dunk, a missed three-pointer, or a three-pointer hit, all of which will be.

Nuggets defeated the Clippers 120-101 in the NBA playoffs, and eliminated the Clippers 4-3 in the series to advance to the second round.

Before the start of this series, many people were not optimistic about the Nuggets, let alone Westbrook, and even fans who like Westbrook felt pessimistic. Among them, there are two major groups, including some Harden fans, who spoke online that they hope that the Nuggets will play more Westbrook, and they also hope that the Nuggets coach Adelmando will give Westbrook the ball...

What does this mean? Obviously, in almost everyone's eyes, Westbrook has become the "DL" of the team.

Perhaps Westbrook knew such remarks, perhaps it was the Nuggets' new coach who found a way to activate Westbrook, and his performance in this round of the series was refreshing.

In the entire series, Westbrook played 6 games in total. He averaged 13.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.3 steals in 25.5 minutes per game, shooting percentage of 43.3% and 3-point shooting percentage of 41.9%.

The last three games made 3 of 6, 2 of 4, and 2 of 4, respectively, with a total of 7 of 14 shots and a shooting percentage of 50%.

Even fans who like Westbrook feel incredible about Westbrook's performance outside the three-point line.

It is obvious that before the game, the opponent shrinks the defense line and makes Westbrook shoot a three-pointer, and how to punish the opponent's defense is an urgent problem that Westbrook needs to solve.

And Westbrook's shooting percentage from outside the three-point line is surprising. Will the Thunder dare to let Westbrook do this in the second round? How can Jokic and Murray defend themselves if they don’t let go... There are a lot of headaches for them.

For Harden, he lost to the Nuggets 101-120 away tiebreak, and stopped in the first round. Harden made 2 of 8 shots in this game and scored only 7 points.

Harden made 0 of 2 shots in the second half and did not score. This is the 18th time in his career that Harden scored zero in the first half or the second half in the playoffs.

This is a difficult day, and Harden's fans must be very sad. Should Harden think about how to improve his style of play in the offseason?

Harden's biggest problem is instability. Murray can be bad, but it is always fatal at critical moments, while Harden is just the opposite, which is a fatal blow to his team. In the seven games of the

series, Nuggets player Murray performed well, averaging 42.1 minutes of playing time per game, and was able to score 22.9 points, 5.3 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.9 blocks, with three shooting percentages of 48%, 40% and 89% respectively.

Westbrook knows Harden too well, and his teammate Braun said that Westbrook told him how to defend Harden. They have been studying Harden's habit throughout the series, which is to not change defenses. This may be an important factor that Harden could never perform in the seventh game.

For Harden and Westbrook's old opponent Curry, he also faces the danger of being eliminated in the first round. He will go to Houston to challenge the Rockets away. In the good situation of leading 3:1 in total, they failed to win the opponent and advanced and tied the opponent with the opponent in the away game. If they cannot solve the opponent's three-high lineup, they may be in danger.

When the outside world is unfavorable to the Warriors, they may have a glimmer of hope. The Warriors must have a surprise victory in the seventh game. Payton Jr. and Hilder cannot cope with it. Cole's arrangement should use his brain again. Curry and Butler are both too old. Jimmy Butler, the toughest man in the playoffs, the tiebreak battle is coming, will you still show magic again? The

legend will always end, will it be tomorrow?

James, Durant, Harden and others have already visited the fishing conference one after another. Curry really wants to rest after the finals, it depends on whether he and Butler can burst out with amazing energy. Of course, whether Hilde can find the feel and whether Boger will reappear is also an uncertain factor.
