Nuggets Backcourt Core: We can win the championship 100% again, we have gained a lot this season

In the previous NBA Western Conference semi-finals G7, the Oklahoma City Thunder, who played at home, defeated the Denver Nuggets 125-93. After this game, the Thunder locked the total score of the series at 4-3 and successfully advanced to the Western Conference Finals. After this game, Jamal Murray, the Nuggets' backcourt core, was interviewed by reporters, and he also talked about whether the team can return to its peak and whether the team's performance this season meets everyone's expectations.

When asked whether this Nuggets' core lineup can return to the championship level, Murray seemed to be full of confidence in it, and he "100%" believes that this core lineup can win the championship again. Murray said: 100% OK. We were just a little bit worse tonight. We will be back in the training hall and make a comeback next year. Speaking about whether the team's performance this season has met expectations, Murray continued: Although the end of this season is disappointing, the team showed a very positive attitude towards the final stage of the season, and there are many things worthy of recognition. I think it is a rewarding season for us. Our performance is not without merit. During the playoffs, Murray averaged 41.3 minutes in 14 games, with averaging 21.8 points, 4.9 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.8 blocks, and 3.1 turnovers and 2.2 fouls. He shot 44.4%, three-point shooting percentage 35.4%, and free throw shooting percentage 87.5%. In the second round of the series G7, Murray's performance was simply a mess. He made 6 of 16 shots and 1 of 8 shots outside the three-point line during the playing time of 34 minutes and 45 seconds, and scored 13 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists, 3 steals and 1 block. He also had 2 turnovers and 1 foul, and the plus and negative value was also low to -21.

Murray's performance in the playoffs this season is obviously not completely satisfactory. His scoring ability has not been fully displayed. His offensive efficiency is not ideal, and his condition cannot be maintained at a high level. He should have assumed more responsibilities on both offense and defense, but he did not succeed in doing this. His performance also greatly affected the team's overall competitiveness and led to the team being eventually eliminated. For Murray, as the second in command of the Nuggets and the core of the backcourt, he should have played a more important role on the court. As a result, his performance is only at this level, and it is very normal for the team to be inadequate in competitiveness. Next season, if the Nuggets want to launch an attack on the championship again, one thing is certain, Murray must perform better.
