When Jokic attended the post-match press conference, teammate Hayes walked into the scene and shouted three times in a row: "MVP! MVP！ MVP！ Hayes spoke out the cries of the majority, and Jokic did so well tonight.
Against the visiting Pelicans, he had 46 points, 12 rebounds, 11 assists, four blocks and three steals, and led the team to victory in overtime. It is worth mentioning that 30 of Jokic's 46 points came from the fourth quarter and overtime.
According to ESPN, Jokic is the first player in the last 25 seasons to score 30 or more points in the fourth quarter and overtime while shooting 90 percent from the field. At the same time, Jokic is also the second player in history to cut a 45+ triple-double with at least 70% shooting, the first being Chamberlain. In addition, this is also Jokic's 17th triple-double this season, leading the league. With 74 triple-doubles in his career, Jokic is approaching Wilt Chamberlain to finish sixth on the all-time triple-double list.
"Extraordinary. Different. He's different," Nuggets forward Gordon said of Jokic's performance. "It's not something you see a lot. He scored 30 points in the fourth quarter and overtime, which was great. It was an amazing game. He's an amazing player. ”
"This guy is incredible," Gordon said. "This guy is incredible. He is the MVP. I believe that. He worked around the clock to get ridiculous numbers, and "we won." I don't know how everyone who votes will vote, but that person has to be at the top of the list. ”
Nuggets coach Michael Malone said: "Another example, why Jokic is MVP! ”
"In extra time, it's such a luxury to have an MVP. We knew we should play around him and he did what he had to do and it proved his greatness. ”
Jokic once again conquered the Nuggets with a god-level performance. Whether it's teammates or the head coach, they all think Jokic should be MVP. Can Jokic win MVP for 2 consecutive years? Let's wait and see!
