It is expected to play in the tiebreak, Gordon wants to fight to the end! The three main players fight with injuries, and the Nuggets prospects are worrying

Although Jokic's personal performance this season is still strong, and he frequently played super personal performances that made fans dumbfounded in the game, the Nuggets' overall performance did not meet expectations, especially the sudden change of coaches before the start of the playoffs, which made the outside world not optimistic about their prospects for the championship. However, after the curtain of the playoffs opened, the Nuggets still showed the foundation of the champion team. In the first round, they failed to get out of the Los Angeles Clippers after seven hard battles.

In the second round, facing the Thunder who played the first record in the regular season Western Conference, the Nuggets once again dragged the series into a cruel tiebreak final game when they were seen. However, in the sixth game, uncrowned dunk king Aaron Gordon was injured at the last moment, causing the Nuggets to suffer a heavy blow. According to the news of the famous NBA reporter Shams, Gordon, like Curry, suffered a hamstring strain. However, according to the latest news, Aaron Gordon is expected to play with injuries in his life and death, and wants to fight to the end of the game to fight to the death.

Curry missed the next second to fifth games after being injured in the first match between the Warriors and the Timberwolves Western Conference semi-finals, which directly led to the Warriors losing four consecutive games but not being able to reach the division finals. This is also the reason why Aaron Gordon was injured, the outside world generally believed that he would miss the tiebreak. Considering the current depth of the Nuggets' lineup and Aaron Gordon's performance on both offense and defense, his inability to appear on the field will lead to a significant decline in the team's combat effectiveness, which will soar the probability of the Thunder's promotion.

However, before the tiebreak battle, the new Nuggets coach Adelman said in an interview with the media that Aaron Gordon participated in the team's complete training. Whether he could play in the tiebreak must be decided before the game. In the case of injury, the uncrowned dunk king still participated in the team's joint training, which greatly increased the probability of him playing in the tiebreak.

Judging from the current situation, the Nuggets will likely play in a tiebreak with the Thunder in the Russian City, but the three main players will fight with injuries, which still makes the Nuggets' promotion prospects not optimistic. NBA sports medicine expert and doctor of medicine Jesse Morse also commented on the news that Aaron Gordon may play in a tiebreak at the first time. He believes that forcibly fighting with injuries may cause more harm than good.

After all, in the final battle of the tiebreak, the confrontation between the two teams on the court will be directly full. At that time, if you dare not exert all your strength when fighting with injuries, your body and mentality will be greatly affected, thus allowing your performance on both offense and defense to drag down the team.

And the Nuggets are not the only one who is Alon Gordon. After the G6, Porter Jr. admitted that he had an injection of a painkiller injection and planned to inject another painkiller injection before the start of the tiebreak. Westbrook, the core of the second lineup, also faces the test of a sprain of his right hand.

In the photos of Westbrook's hand in this round of the series posted by media person JDJackson, it can be seen that Westbrook's ring finger and little finger are tightly tied together. In addition to the thumb, the other four fingers are also tied with bandages. It can be seen that injuries have also affected Westbrook's performance.

For the Nuggets, it is difficult to win the final seventh game. If you want to defeat the Western Conference No. 1 Thunder in Oxford, Jokic and Murray must play. This is their basic set that they want to be upset. In addition, role players must break out on the road before they can advance to the Western Conference Finals.
