The Nuggets beat the Heat! Even scarier than 1-0 is Jokic's words, Embiid blushing?

104-93, Nuggets Finals G1 light Heat, this game has no suspense, the Nuggets have a double-digit lead in the first half, Jokic did not even have power, basically based on passing. In the third quarter, the Nuggets continued to make efforts, and the point difference also reached 20+, and the strength of the two teams was not at the same level at all. The Nuggets relaxed in the final quarter, and the Heat took the opportunity to close the gap, but unfortunately it didn't make sense. In terms of statistics, Jokic had 27 points, 10 rebounds and 14 assists, Murray 26 points, 6 rebounds and 10 assists, Gordon 16 points and 6 rebounds, Porter 14 points, 13 rebounds and 2 blocks, Pope 7 points and 3 rebounds, and Brown 10 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists.

In fact, in various predictions before the game, the Nuggets are generally optimistic, but the strength gap shown by the two teams in this game is still beyond our imagination, don't look at the difference of only 11 points, in the third quarter, the Nuggets actually led by 20+, and the last quarter just relaxed. Towards the end of the game, the commentator said of the Nuggets: "Even James and Durant can't take the Nuggets, why should you Butler?" "Although the words are ugly, but very reasonable, the Heat have narrowed the point difference many times, but the Nuggets can be pulled away immediately, giving us the feeling that the Nuggets are really casually holding the Heat, and even suspected of controlling points. In the first three quarters, Jokic did not have the power to pass, and only in the final quarter did Jokic step up and start scoring.

The strength gap between the two sides is mainly reflected in three points, the first is the comparison of the starting lineup, the Heat can not match the Nuggets, such as the forward position, the Nuggets players are taller, stronger, and athleticism is stronger than you, on the other hand, the Heat, although there is Butler, can face the Nuggets' strong defense, he can not score the inside, only 6 of 14 shots in the field. Secondly, the Nuggets have better stars, they have Jokic, Jokic is too stable, the ability to control the game is extremely strong, Butler still owes some heat.

What's more, the Nuggets and Murray, the number two, but the Heat are not strong enough except Butler. And the third point, the Nuggets' tactics are better, when the outside shooting percentage is not high, they can also impact the basket to score, the Heat is different, this team relies too much on three-pointers, once the outside feel can not be opened, then it will fall into passivity.

Jokic was interviewed after the game and said of Murray's performance: "I think his energy is fantastic, from the first round he has a lot of energy, he is the best player in the team, he is really improving and even if things are not as good as he wants, he will not back down. Speaking about Gordon's performance, Jokic said: "The best thing he did was accept his role. ”

This is Jokic, powerful, but low-key, modest, after winning he first praised the performance of his teammates, instead of talking about himself, what is called a leader, Jokic explained well, I don't know if Embiid blushed? After the 76ers lost seven to the Green Army, Embiid dumped the pot on his teammates and didn't want to take the blame.

The better Jokic plays, the more Embiid will be complained about, and the MVP is not worthy of the name. Later, speaking about the series already leading 1-0, Jokic said: "Well, it's just a normal win, we haven't done anything yet, we're going to win three more games and there's something more ambitious to achieve, that's what motivates us all. Jokic's meaning was obvious, he was ready to sweep the Heat, and it could be seen that Jokic didn't want to give the Heat any chance, and Butler should panic. Or as mentioned earlier, the gap between the strength of the two teams is larger than we thought, and if the Nuggets don't make mistakes, then the series is really not in suspense.

Some fans may ask, why did the Nuggets make 20 free throws in the game, while the Heat only had 2? In fact, it is very simple, the Nuggets tactics are more comprehensive, this game, the Nuggets outside is not accurate (8 of 27), so they scored a lot of points when they hit the basket, like Jokic, who frequently singled on the inside in the second half, the Heat could not be prevented, could only foul, and naturally the Nuggets made more free throws. But the Heat is different, they are a three-point team, plus Butler ate 2 blocks in the first quarter, and then did not dare to play inside, then it is normal for the Heat to have fewer free throws, the referee's decision in this game is more fair, the Heat lost, after all, it is not good, looking forward to G2, Butler must stand up, otherwise the Heat really have no chance.
