With the star players retiring injured, this season's superstar battle has once again shown a lonely situation. Durant is injured, James is old, Curry is not in stable enough form, Leonard and George have long finished the season, leaving the league's superstars, really not much. In this situation, Jokic finally entered the field of vision of the fans.
Last season, Jokic won the glory of regular season MVP, but it seems to be the most non-existent MVP in history. Jokic's style of play is not a violent genre, but he is always able to inadvertently play an efficient and comprehensive personal performance. With the continuous improvement of technology, Jokic's influence on the team has become more and more influential, and his call for continued MVP has become louder and louder.
This season, the Nuggets' situation has been very heartwarming, with two super top pay players, Jamal Murray and Michael Porter, injured in succession. The Nuggets, whose original lineup was almost perfect, suddenly lacked two big players, and Jokic began a journey of single-core leadership.
However, jokic continued the madness of last season this season, and his personal performance was both stable and comprehensive, averaging 26 points, 13.8 boards, 7.9 assists and 1.3 steals per game, shooting 57% from the field and 37.2% from three-point range. With Jokic's help, the Nuggets remained sixth in the West with a record of 33 wins and 25 losses despite a withering lineup. Moreover, the Nuggets have been gaining momentum lately and there is still the possibility of going further.
In terms of contribution value to the team, Jokic's current PER value is 32.66, which is the first place in the league under the pressure of the alphabet brother and Embiid. When Jokic was on the floor, the Nuggets beat their opponents by 15.3 points per 100 possessions; when Jokic was absent, the Nuggets lost 5.4 points per 100 rounds, bringing the net difference to 20.7 points, ranking first in the league.
At present, Jokic already has an extremely stable foundation in the next game, and his strong influence is infiltrating the entire team. In the latest NBA official MVP list, Jokic also pushed Embiid, Alphabet Brother and Paul and others, ranking first in the league. If the Nuggets' record can go further, Jokic's probability of winning the MVP will also be higher and higher.
