The NBA's playoffs continue, with the Nuggets vs. Warriors. In the end, the Warriors defeated the Nuggets 102-98. Data, warriors: Curry scored 30 points, 5 boards and 5 assists, Klay scored 15 points, 9 boards and 4 steals, Payton Jr. scored 15 points, and Chasing Dream had 11 points and 6 assists. Nuggets: Cousins scored 19 points and 4 boards, Gordon had 15 points and 9 boards.
What I didn't expect was that Cousins had his own ability and level on the offensive end, even in the playoffs. Such cousins do have their own value and meaning. Similarly, for the Warriors, behind the 4-point win is the awareness of giving the ball to Curry. At the crucial moment, give the ball to Curry, and that's right. At that time, Curry scored 2 points under the basket, which was the key to killing the game.
For a team, it needs superstars. Previously, because of Curry's sacrifice, many people thought he couldn't do it, he was just a three-point shooter. But in fact, this is the biggest unsolvable solution. Because, for Curry, he is definitely not just a shooter, but a superstar, and an athlete who has won MVP for 2 consecutive seasons, and even once, he was unanimously elected MVP. How could such an athlete, as long as he wanted to, be too bad?
For the Nuggets, although they were eliminated, some players can still play. For example, Jokic can be called a fairy-level play. In this game, Jokic suffered a thigh strain but still insisted on playing the full game, played 32 minutes, 12 of 18 shots, 6 of 8 free throws, 30 points, 19 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks. Such Jokic, super dedicated. So after the game, a number of Warriors players talked to him happily. An important reason behind this is naturally sympathy.
For Jokic, it must have conquered the fans and conquered the opponents, so there is respect for him by the opponents. In competitive sports, the only way to win the respect of your opponents is to show your strength. And there's no other way. Because, in competitive sports, the dish is the original sin. Therefore, you can't ask for the respect of others, the respect of others, there are prerequisites, there are reasons, there can be no respect in this world for no reason.
For Jokic, in this round of the series, he averaged 31 points, 13.2 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.6 steals per game, shooting 57.5%. Such data can be said to be super excellent. As a fan, for such a Jokic, you can only say that he is too pitiful. Originally, the team had 3 top-paid players, in addition to Jokic, there were Murray and Porter Jr. Unfortunately, the next 2 people were reimbursed for the injury season. So? Jokic alone took it all and led the team into the playoffs without having to play the playoffs.
Because of this, many people bluntly say that this season's Jokic is still worthy of the glory of MVP, if true, Jokic will become another MVP person after Curry and Alphabet Brother. For now, Jokic's biggest rival is Embiid. But in fact, no matter who of the 2 of them gets this glory, it is a great stimulus for the interior players. Before, many people said that this is the era of the withering of the inner line, but now it seems that it is not necessarily.
Gasping for breath and losing his eyes, the Nuggets were eliminated, but Jokic really gave it his all. That is, after the game, a Jokic video also became popular, and at that time, he was too tired to do it.
