The NBA playoffs are in full swing, and there is a final answer to the final fate of the MVP, with Jokic elected as the MVP of the regular season this season, and the official announcement is expected later this week. With the announcement of the results, there will be some people who are happy and some who are worried, the biggest controversy is Embiid, who is also a new era of interior players, where is the gap between Embiid and Jokic? Why did Embiid lose again in this competition? With all kinds of questions, Xiao Feng came to talk to everyone about the gap between the two people.
This season, Jokic played in 74 regular season games, averaging 27.1 points, 13.8 rebounds, 7.9 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.9 blocks, Embiid played in 68 regular season games, averaging 30.6 points, 11.7 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.5 blocks, from the data point of view, the gap between the two people is not large, but why is Jokic more obvious? Yes, that is, Jokic has one more skill than Embiid, that is, assist ability, although Embiid is strong, but his strength is only reflected in his personal ability, and Jokic is different, he can not only come up with his own data, but also lead his teammates, from this point of view, Embiid suffered a lot.
Of course, there are also people who are sorry for Embiid, because the Nuggets are only promoted to the playoffs as the sixth in the West, obviously, according to the previous judging standards, such a record is obviously not in line with the regulations, Jokic can even make the MVP of the House is also amazing to many fans, the biggest point of complaint is, what is the NBA's judging standard?
As a center of the new era, both of them have played an incredible season, of course, it is impossible to award the grand prize to Jokic just because Jokic Bienbead will assist, and Xiao Feng feels that the biggest influence on Embiid is actually Harden. Imagine how many people paid attention to the dynamics of the 76ers before Harden joined the 76ers, and even for most fans, Embiid's exposure is not as much as Simmons, and on the surface, Embiid lacks a fan base.
What about Jokic? He is more like a lone hero, the team's second and third bosses have been injured in succession, so that Jokic has taken on too much pressure, in such a difficult situation, Jokic can also lead the team to the playoffs, which is a success in itself. Of course, in Xiao Feng's view, there is also the most important factor, that is, Jokic has changed the fans' perception of traditional centers, and even his role is not weaker than Curry.
Most of the centers in our impression are players who squat in the inner line, with the advent of the small-ball era, many people have developed their own three-point skills, but Jokic is more like a monster, not only can grab rebounds, shoot three points, the most important thing is that people's assists are particularly powerful, with such a height can also send steals in succession, the fans' good feelings for Jokic have increased, which also gives Jokic the advantage.
For Jokic, his playoffs are over, but for Embiid this is just the beginning, perhaps Jokic's MVP is the best proof of his regular season performance, but Feng Jr. feels that Embiid will definitely have anger, I believe that this fire will definitely make their opponents suffer, and the next thing that may be difficult is the Heat.
Today's topic ends here, where do you think the gap between Embiid and Jokic is? Welcome to leave a message.
