Jokic slashed 41+11: consecutive record crashes Only 4 assists in the game were limited

On June 5, Beijing time, when the Heat took the initiative to change the team and start with championship veteran Love, the Heat naturally intended to limit Jokic on the defensive end. Jokic failed to continue his triple-double streak, and he missed his 10th triple-double in this year's playoffs, but still contributed 41+11+4, especially the 18 points in the third quarter, and also set a number of playoff records, but the number of assists set the record for the fewest individuals in this year's playoffs. However, Jokic was unable to stop the Nuggets from losing at home, and once drank a drink off the court to replenish their energy, and they suffered their first home defeat in this year's playoffs, and the total score was chased to a 1-1 draw and lost home advantage.

Jokic's performance in this year's playoffs can be called a "god", he has defeated Downs, Gobert, Ayton and Thick Eyebrows in the first three rounds of the series, especially against the Suns and Lakers series, all of which are triple-doubles per game, and this year's playoffs are also averaging triple-doubles per game, making him the most dominant star.

In the first game of the Finals, Jokic was limited to only 3 shots in the first half, but in the second half he picked up and continued to attack and pass to lead the team to win, and he easily bombarded the triple-double data, and the triple-double in his Finals debut was also comparable to Kidd.

Now the Heat followed the Lakers' tactical strategy in the second game, using Love's starting partner Adebayo, naturally hoping to use one person to defend and one to assist, and increase the height mode to limit Jokic. Love's good performance on the court also greatly limited Jokic's passing ability, limiting Jokic to only 3 assists in the first three quarters.

However, Jokic changed his way to attack more, and was also an unstoppable inside scoring machine, playing all 12 minutes in the first quarter, scoring 11 points on 5-of-9 shooting in a single quarter, including 1 of 2 from the outside three-pointer, and led the team to trail by 11 points in a single quarter, successfully chasing only 3 points behind in a single quarter. Jokic was limited in the second quarter, and he scored only four points on 1-of-4 shooting in a single quarter, but the Nuggets managed to overtake the score in the first half and at one point by 15 points, and there is no doubt that Jokic's single-quarter offensive malaise did not hurt.

In the third quarter, Jokic completely turned on the crazy offensive mode, and he did not give out a single assist in the quarter. Jokic once suffered consecutive ball battles, which also made him more focused on his offense, he gave an efficient crosshair of 6 of 9 in a single quarter, not only hitting another three-point shot from the outside, but also scoring 5 of 6 free throws in a single quarter, and one man slammed 18 points in a single quarter unstoppable, especially the continuous difficult layups caused by exclamations.

When Jokic scored 31 points on 12-of-22 shooting in the third quarter, he naturally defeated the Heat twin towers, Adebayo and Love, and also became the first center in history to contribute at least 500 points and 100 assists in a single-season playoffs.

Entering the final quarter, the Heat took the lead in the opening period, Jokic was also whistled for an offensive foul by the referee, and then Jokic stepped forward to grab the ball and was whistled for another foul. After the Heat went on a 15-3 run to win by five points, Jokic caused Adebayo to foul and hit both free throws, and Jokic continued to score after that, but the Heat blossomed inside and out to suppress the Nuggets, and also continued to create kills to gradually extend the double-digit lead. Even if the Nuggets continue to chase points tenaciously, Jokic is ultimately unable to lead the team to turn around, and it is a pity to join the empty slash group.

It is worth mentioning that although Jokic failed to lead the team to win and join the empty slash, he still set a number of records:

First, Jokic became the first center player in playoff history to contribute at least 500 points and 100 assists in a single season.

Second, Jokic scored at least 500 points, 200 rebounds and 150 assists in the playoffs this year, becoming the third player in NBA playoff history, and the first two players to do so were James (4 times: 2015-18, 2020) and Big Bird Bird (1 time: 1987).
