There are always people who complain that last season's MVP Jokic was the most watery MVP outside of Westbrook!
Here's why:
1. Jokic beat the Blazers 4-3 in the first round last season, and was swept by the Suns in the second round;
2, Curry played a more peak performance than the 16th season;
3, the alphabet brother is similar to the data of the previous two seasons, and also won the championship.
Isn't it the most watery MVP?
Jokic led the Nuggets to a record of 47 wins and 26 losses to the third place in the West last season, which was achieved without the second Murray, averaging 26.4 + 10.8 + 8.3 per game, is it really bad?
Although Curry has achieved a stat of 32+5.5+5.8, he has not scored in the playoffs, and he is obviously excluded!
Alphabet brother is already the MVP of Lianzhuang, the reason for aesthetic fatigue, the decline in efficiency and the decline in performance, it is difficult to become the MVP of Sanlianzhuang.
So, Jokic deserves it!
This season, Jokic has averaged 27.1 + 13.8 + 7.9 per game, and the data has not dropped but has risen! But the team's record is only 48 wins and 34 losses, ranking sixth in the West, and the gap between alphabet and Embiid is large, it is difficult to become MVP!
However, this was created without the second Murray, without the third little Potter, what a lonely hero!
The playoffs came, the Nuggets, who were sixth in the West, faced the warriors in third place in the West, and the Nuggets were swept 1-4 by the Warriors gentleman!
In terms of lineup play, the Nuggets really have no power to fight back, and Jokic's slowness is simply not as fast and accurate as the Warriors' five small!
But in this series, Jokic played well, averaging 31.0 + 13.2 + 5.8 + 1.6 + 1.0 in 5 games, 1st in points, 5th in rebounds, 18th in assists, 4th in steals, and 31 in blocks.
In the G5 game, Jokic suffered a hamstring strain at the end of the third quarter, but Jokic did not get out of the line of fire, and the fourth quarter rested for two minutes and still came up. But after a round, it still felt like it wasn't working, and it was replaced by Malone!
Jokic then, pedaling the bike to keep his body hot, without any treatment, went straight to the field to play, and played the last quarter!
In the final quarter of the game, Jokic scored 12 points on 5-of-7 shooting, basically relying on perseverance!
After the game, Curry also gave Jokic a big hug and paid tribute to this great player! In addition to Curry, the evil man chased the dream and also came to a hug and saluted him!
Jokic lost the game, but he earned respect!
This is not like last year's KD, showing courage!
Last year's Nets, Harden hamstring injury, missed 4 games, the last three games of Hardhad only 14 points performance, three-point shooting 16 5, only 30% of the three-point shooting rate, G4 and G6 even only 8 shots 0 and 12 shots 2. No three-pointers, no breakout, no defense, not as good as this year's Mills!
Irving missed the next 5 games last year because of being padded, which also directly led to the Nets being overturned!
In such a situation, KD stood out, G2 won 30 +11+5+4+1 full data, G3 won 28+13+5 data, G5 won 49+17+10 historical level triple-doubles, G6 won 32+11+3 data, and G7 played the ultimate performance of 48+9+6.
But unfortunately, KD lost on the big foot of half a centimeter, stepped on the line, and the kill became a no-no, and the no-no-no final became out!
But there is no doubt that in this series, KD is respected, he is the god of death!
But in this year's playoffs, the Nets were swept 4-0 by the Celtics, and KD was pinched by Tatum!
KD averaged just 26+5.5+6 per game, a career low of 38.6% and a three-point shooting rate of 33.3% from a five-season low!
Tatum averaged 29.5 + 4.5 + 7.3 per game, shooting nearly 50% from the field, more than 40% from three-point range, and G1 also contributed a whistle-blowing kill.
Apparently, Tatum's performance was completely KD. KD's lack of a single shot in the last 11 minutes of G3 illustrates KD's desperation, he doesn't want to fight!
On the contrary, Jokic's performance is respected! Even if he lost the game, Jokic did not give up, the bright sword warrior, and shot the last bullet!
In the face of such Jokic, I think the 5-year 254 million contract is beckoning to Jokic, if you give, give it without losing money at all!
And, I think this year's Jokic deserves more than last year's MVP, which is the ultimate and great personal performance, paying tribute to last year's Grim Reaper!
