Nikola Jokic’s lack of free throws in Game 6 ‘absolutely crazy,’ Nuggets coach says

Denver Nags The temporary coach David Adeleman felt dismay and anger at the amount of contact with the permissible officials while Los Angeles Clippers motive Nicolas Gokic In the game 6 of the qualifying series in the first round Thursday evening.

The physical defense of Klibers is the main reason that Denver is heading home to play another 7 game.

Adelman and Jokic are sure that Nags will fight with their season again on the edge of the abyss.

Adeleman criticized the lewd delay standards in the loss of Denver 111-105 in the game 6. Jokic released only two free throws, and the nuggets went to the line only nine times compared to the Free Clemers software while both teams seemed to be permitted to play physically.

“Nicolas stumbles a lot,” Adeleman said. “I am not sure of what was happening tonight, but to shoot two free throws with the amount of communication that was taking place there was completely crazy. They put a small on him. These children were allowed to do everything they want, so I am very excited for Saturday that we will be able to do the same with their best players, because if this is the materialism that we allow to play with, we will interact with that, and we will go there in the game 7.

The “Smalls” collection, which is guarding Jokic 6 feet, 11 feet, included 6 feet and 8 Nicholas BatumHe played his effort in the second half a major role in transforming the game 6 in favor of Clippers. Patoom and Evica Zobak He cooperated for an effective effort against Jokic, who scored only five of 25 points in the second half while 2 to 9 went on the field.

But even Adilman knew that the officials did not decide another close match in a series between two teams that ended the normal season with the same record.

“This is what I expected, to be honest,” Adeleman said. “This has felt as a series of seven games. It is equally identical. There are many good players there, men who could be nights.”

No one had a night for Nuggets in Game 6, which is why they went to Game 7.

The Closeout games were often a nightmare for The Nuggets since it won the only championship for the privilege two seasons ago. They lost four of the last five chances of closure, including two games in the second round chain last year with Minnesota.

The Nuggets team achieved 3-2 in that series, only to get 45 points in the 6 game before losing game 7 in their home stadium-the same place where they will play Clippers on Saturday.

Denver has lost four of her past five potential games, just overcoming Lakes In the first round last season-but only after the Game 4 loss with the 3-0 series advanced.

“It will be a different team,” he said. Murray beautyWho got 21 points, eight rebounds and eight decisive passes in the game 6. ”It will be a different type of chain. We just have to play our game. I don’t think there is anything that we must surpass. We just have to go out with the same type of despair, the same type of intent. I played in a few 7s games, so it is 3-3.”

Jokic does not see the last Nuggets as a corrupt thing in his team. After all, Jokic and Murray led a team that closed four opponents during the 2023 championship.

“I will approach it,” said Jokic. “For me, every game is really important. I want to win, so I will play it as a regular game.”

The Nuggets only hosts the 7 game because they won the last three matches to stick to the tie over Clippers, who won eight consecutive and 18 from 21 to close the normal season. Adelman only became the coach of the Denver team for these last three matches after the amazing shooting of Michael Malon just 23 days ago, but the new coach has already has a clear message to his team heading to the series.

Adeleman said: “You win these last three matches not only to stay outside the play, but to get the home stadium in game 7, and we got it,” Adeleman said. “This is what I told them. I won this opportunity … You are playing throughout the year for that. We got this opportunity, and we are very excited to return there and play again.”
