On February 17, Beijing time, the NBA regular season Golden State Warriors defeated the Nuggets 116-117 at their home home, swallowing two consecutive losses. The Warriors have been in the lead since the start of the game, and the Nuggets did not turn the score back against the score until the last 20 seconds of the final quarter, but soon Curry played 2+1 in the first 5.9 seconds of the final game to help the Warriors regain the lead, and as a result, the Nuggets' core Jokic did not hesitate to play back to attract the bag clip, and then he immediately assisted the vacant Morris, who raised his hand to shoot at three points, and the basketball was also a whistle hit, helping the Nuggets complete the kill.
In this game, the Warriors scored in double figures for 7 people, and although Curry only shot 1 of 7 from three-point range, his two-point shot was almost unsumpted, scoring 25 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists on 10-of-19 shooting. The game is played in the Chase Center, the home of the Warriors, so Curry is naturally the deserved protagonist of this team, especially his 2+1 in the last minute, directly interpreting his protagonist aura to the extreme.
But unexpectedly, Chengye Curry defeated Curry. In the final leg, the Warriors led the Nuggets by two points at 116-114, at which point the Nuggets naturally wanted to hand the ball over to Jokic. Curry saw Jokic's back punch and wanted to pack Jokic, so he let go of his defender Morris, and it turned out that the Nuggets also used this opportunity to successfully complete the kill, and Curry could only watch Morris snatch away his protagonist aura. After the game, Curry blamed himself for the defense and said: "I made a mistake that shouldn't have been made. In that case, the last thing we should have done was have the opponent shoot three-pointers, but I gave Morris a three-point shot. ”
And for the team to lose, Warriors coach Kerr also has to bear a certain responsibility, in the face of the Nuggets in the key moment of the "slash Rooney tactics" Kerr is indifferent, and when the Warriors need defense most suddenly replaced the defensive toughman Payton Jr., it is indeed a bit confusing, which also made Kerr sprayed by Warriors fans after the game. In response, Kerr made a deep self-blame after the game, saying: "Some of the adjustments I made were not timely enough, and some adjustments did not work. In short, I am responsible for this defeat, and tonight I am afraid it will be difficult for me to get a good night's sleep. ”
In contrast, the opponent Nuggets, in the first half, Jokic contributed 16 points and 15 rebounds, almost a person carrying the team forward, and the second half of the Nuggets resilience was once again shown, the whole game Jokic shot 13 of 24, cut 35 points, 17 rebounds and 8 assists of the quasi-triple-double data. And the Nuggets' final kill is also Jokic's entire inside line that wreaked havoc on the Warriors, causing panic to the Warriors, so Curry will bet on a bag to hold Jokic and let Morris go.
After the game, Jokic talked about his killer assist to Morris in an interview, saying that at that time he couldn't see who that person was, only to find a vague figure appear in the empty position, but he knew that it was a good shooting opportunity, so he passed the ball to the figure. Although Jokic is so light on this killer assist, it is actually the embodiment of a player's ball dealer, and making the most correct choice in the moment of singles and passing is not a simple thing.
After winning this game, the Nuggets improved their record to 33 wins and 25 losses to firmly rank sixth in the West, and only one win away from the Lone Ranger in front of them. In the absence of Murray and Porter Jr., it is not easy to lead a lineup such as Morris, Barton, Gordon and Jeff Green to play such a performance. Possession of the ball through half, back-to-back singles as the axis, arc top hand hand hand, medium and long distance face frame singles, all the work on the offensive end must point to Jokic, and Jokic himself has done a very good job, if such a performance can continue until the end of the season, Jokic is really expected to win the regular season MVP.
