On April 5, Beijing time, this season's MVP competition has entered a three-legged situation, and Alphabet Brother, Embiid and Jokic have become the frontrunners in the competition for MVP. The three have their own advantages, Alphabet Brother has averaged 30.1 points, 11.6 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game this season, coupled with the team's ranking to the second place in the East, it is possible to cut the MVP out of hands again; Embiid averages 30.2 points, 11.6 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game, and the distance with Alphabet Brother is between millimeters, and the 76ers' record is the same as that of the Bucks, temporarily ranking third in the East, so the next few games are likely to determine the ownership of the MVP.
As for Jokic, so far this season, he has 26.8 points, 13.8 rebounds and 8.0 assists, shooting 58% from the field, 55% for the alphabet brother, and 49% for Embiid, so from the point of view of scoring efficiency, the alphabet brother is slightly better than Embiid. From the overall data point of view, Jokic's comprehensive ability is more comprehensive, but because the Nuggets are currently only ranked fifth in the West, and basically miss the top four in the West, so the advantage of the alphabet brother is the largest among the three, if the Nuggets can enter the top three in the West, Jokic can almost win the MVP.
This season, without Murray, Jokic has shown his superstar qualities, repeatedly playing against the sky, and his dominance under the basket is very terrifying. In yesterday's game against the Lakers, Jokic faced the thick eyebrow brother to give and demand, successfully broke the latter, he was 15 of 22, slashed 38 points, 18 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals, Jokic's shooting rate in this game was as high as 68.2%, and the thick eyebrow was helpless. In the previous two games against the Pacers and Timberwolves, Jokic's statistics were 37 points, 13 rebounds and 9 assists, shooting 78.9% from the field and 38 points, 19 rebounds and 8 assists, shooting 66.7%.
In doing so, Jokic set an unprecedented NBA record. Statistics show that Jokic has scored at least 35 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists in three consecutive games and shot 65% + from the field, becoming the first person in history and setting an NBA record for 75 years. Such data even super centers like O'Neal, breakthrough bulldozers like James, and little prince of mid-range shots like Durant have not been able to play, which shows that the difficulty is very high. Jokic has successfully fought back from a second-round show, and he is arguably the strongest second-round player in history.
This is only Jokic's 7th season in the league, but many of his stats have broken the team's record, winning the Player of the Week award for the 11th time in his career, surpassing Anthony's history; 76 career triple-doubles team history, the 7th in history; the last 17 games to lead the team in leading the team, setting a record of 41 years; the last 7 games with a total of 232 points from 70.6% shooting, setting an NBA record, unprecedented. Jokic's current performance in today's league has even surpassed the peak O'Neal.
Not only that, but Jokic is also the first Serbian player to win a regular season MVP in the NBA. Jokic can have today's achievements, he must have paid a lot of sweat and hardship behind his back, if Murray can return with a healthy posture, the Nuggets will see the dawn of the championship this season, jokic may also win the first championship of his career. Now it seems that Jokic is the league's number one center, and Embiid still owes ignition.
