After the NBA entered the era of small ball, the center that was once the core of the basketball court was once reduced to a blue-collar role, but with the rise of all-round interiors such as Jokic and Embiid, the center once again became the cornerstone of the dreams of various teams, and the Nuggets and the 76ers also became a very competitive team in the East and West under the leadership of the two top centers active in the league, especially in the case of the Nuggets' long-term injury in the core of the backcourt, Murray. Still in the highly competitive West to remain within the range of the top eight, in this regular season, the Nuggets encountered the defending champion Bucks led by the Big Three, in this strong dialogue, the Nuggets firmly grasped the initiative from the beginning of the game, and in the third quarter, they played a 38-24 offensive climax, establishing a huge lead, and finally they won 136-100 against the Bucks with Jokic's inexplicable personal performance, winning five consecutive wins!
Like all the teams in the NBA's history, the Bucks are also very dependent on the play of three players on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, but in this game, the three of them are dwarfed in front of Jokic, as the core of the inside alphabet brother, although in the game contributed 29 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block of personal data, but the offensive efficiency is far from being comparable to Thato Teacher, 19 shots only hit 9 goals, as last season's MVP winner, In the 29.1 minutes of his appearance, Jokic hit 7 goals in 9 shots, and one person bombed 18 points, 9 rebounds, 15 assists, 3 steals and 1 block of the extremely dominant data, purely in terms of personal performance, Jokic can be said to be a complete victory over the alphabet brother.
Under Jokic's tandem organization, the Nuggets played a smooth attack in this game, they had a total of 6 players scoring in double figures throughout the game, and in the case of Jokic's inside line to give and take, the Bucks had to take back the defensive line to limit the strategy of about teacher, which also gave the Nuggets outside pitchers a lot of good three-point shooting opportunities, in the game, the Nuggets hit 23 three-point shots in 43 three-point shots, and the powerful three-point firepower was also the key to their big win.
In addition to showing explosive power on the offensive end, the Nuggets' performance on the defensive end of this campaign is also eye-catching enough, as we all know, the Bucks not only have the inside killer alphabet brother, but they are also a three-point team in the league, this campaign The Nuggets imposed a very large defensive pressure on the defending champions' outside line, not giving the other side a good shot, this strategy also achieved obvious results, only let the Bucks shoot 30 three-pointers, only hit 10, Middleton and Holliday together only scored 23 points, In contrast, the uncrowned dunk king Aaron Gordon was very successful around Jokic, scoring 24 points alone, which also became one of the winners and losers of the game.
Today, Jokic has become the most dominant player in the league, which is why the outside world is very optimistic about their future, I believe that after Murray's return from injury, the Nuggets' outside offensive ability will inevitably have a significant improvement, when they will also have stronger combat effectiveness and launch an attack towards the championship!
