The Clippers defeated the Nuggets 111:105 on the 2nd in the NBA Western Conference first round of playoffs G6, relying on the "bearded" Harden 28 points, Renard 27 points, and Powell 24 points, and the two armies tied 3:3 in the series, and will play G7 at the Nuggets home court on the 4th, but the invisible hero who can extend the front is the 36-year-old Nicholas Batum.
Nicolas Batum deadlocks Jokic
Although Nicolas Batum played in 78 games in the regular season this season, averaging only 4 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game, his first five games after entering the playoffs were also mediocre. In fact, Nicolas Batum played 6 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals, and 3 blocks in this game, and the statistics are still not impressive, but his defense really helped the Clippers and even affected the game.
With his rich experience, in addition to being responsible for guarding guards such as J. Murray, Nicolas Batum was even sent to target Jokic, the MVP center of the Nuggets, in the second half, and Jokic, who shot 9 of 13 in the first half, met Nicolas Batum and Zubak in the second half, and only hit 2 of 9 shots. In addition, Nicholas Batum has a total of 10 blocks in the current series, and has also become the Clippers block king.
