Breaking the traditional convention, the discourse power of the No. 1 organization has migrated
Former magician Johnson, although he has the height of the interior, he is the number one of the Lakers, and the rookie rookie season won the championship and FMVP and explained what is "debut is the peak". From a traditional basketball perspective, the organizational core is often held by small men, which is due to the defender's excellent dribbling ability and great flexibility, while the big man is prone to breaking the ball because of his height. Big men have outstanding heights, are often assigned to guard the penalty area and protect tasks such as rebounding, and have nothing to do with organizing passes.
But history still has to move forward after all, and the development of basketball is also inseparable from innovation, otherwise it will stagnate and fall into a backwater. After the emergence of such a prodigy as the magician in the NBA league, there are slowly organizational forwards like James, and the "mini organizational core" like Green, and the right to speak in the passing organization is no longer in the hands of the number one: the quarterback has Harden, the small forward has James, and the big forward has Green, so who is the representative of the organizational core in the center position?
When the situation creates heroes, Jokic turned out to interpret "heavy swords without blades, big coincidence does not work"
Just as the so-called "time creates heroes", after Curry pushed the small ball play to the peak, the center's playing style has also undergone earth-shaking changes. The prevalence of three-pointers has raised the overall shooting level of the league players, which has also made the team's offensive tactics more diverse. Jokic, who was selected by the Nuggets with the 11th pick in the second round in 2014, stepped onto the stage of history, which is likely to be the most passable center in NBA history, and is also a typical counterattack classic superstar, and his "one move and one style" in basketball play once again interprets "heavy sword without edge, big coincidence." ”
A win-and-shoot assist, he is the all-around MVP and contemporary magician
In the game against the Warriors on the road, Jokic proved his "all-round MVP" and "contemporary magician" with absolute strength. The Warriors had home-court advantage and opened with a very good offensive performance, leading the Nuggets by nine points at the end of the half; watching the Jazz not have much to do to wipe out the score, after all, his opponent is the second strongest team in the West, and he plays resiliently in most games.
However, we may also overlook the point, although the Nuggets have damaged the two core Murray and Porter Jr. on the outside line, but there is still the regular season MVP Jokic sitting, the team's offensive score is still sorted out. Jokic played 34 minutes and 21 seconds, shooting 13-of-24, 3-of-5 from three-point range, 6-of-9 from the free throw line, and had 35 points, 17 rebounds (5 frontcourt rebounds), 8 assists and 1 block. Such an explosive data performance shows us Jokic's versatility: three points and kills on the scoring, 17 rebounds, and 8 assists.
What is even more valuable is his accurate judgment of the situation on the field and the team spirit of selflessly sharing the ball, which is the characteristic of his superstar. In the final moments of the game, Jokic attracted two people to assist Morris to complete the three-point whistle, which is the embodiment of his historical level of passing vision. Maybe you would say that as the boss you should have to end and complete the kill, maybe the person who often does this is called Kobe, Jokic used his own way to harvest the victory of the game, sending the victory assist to let the fans remember his title of contemporary magician.
The First World War made history, and the teacher completely subdued the opponent to win the applause
Talking about the kill assist he sent, he said that he couldn't see who that person was, only to find a vague figure appear in the empty seat and pass it out. Perhaps, this is a keen sense of smell, when their reading of the game reaches a certain level, they can send such a high-quality assist. After this game, Jokic also made history: according to statistics, Jokic has had at least 20 points, 10 boards and 5 assists in 8 consecutive games, the first since Abdul-Jabbar in 1972 (12 consecutive games).
Jokic also won the applause of his opponents after helping his teammates kill the Warriors and take away the game ' victory – speaking about the performance of Nuggets Jokic, Kerr said: "He's the defending MVP, he can score as much as he wants in the fourth quarter, we did a much better defensive performance in the final quarter, but Jokic took over. When a star not only gets the support and cheers of his teammates, but also completely subdues his opponents, he also really transforms into a super giant of "virtue and art".
Alien superstars, you and I should cherish it!
You may feel that Jokic is very different, there is no alphabet brother-like fierce play, and there is no top-notch dry pull like Durant who ignores the defensive environment, but he has his own way of influencing the victory of the game: whether it is scoring or passing, he is so different. Scarce things are precious, but I hope we cherish the "contemporary magician" in the center position, after all, "it takes a reincarnation to meet a fireworks show!" ”
