In Game 3 of the Finals, the Nuggets were 109-94 and easily defeated the Heat without bloodshed.
This game can be summed up in one sentence, that is, the first half is scorching, and the second half is crushing.
The Nuggets blew the clarion call in the third quarter, shooting inside and out, completely tearing the Heat's joint defense to shreds.
Jokic is raging in the box inside and Murray is providing firepower outside, which is more like an OK combination than Harden and Embiid.
It is worth mentioning that in this game, Jokic set another record.
He was the first player in NBA history to score at least 30 points, 20 rebounds, and 10 assists in the Finals.
He is also the first player in NBA history to score this data at least three times in the playoffs.
They were followed by Abdul-Jabbar and Chamberlain, but only once.
Hall of Fame insiders such as O'Neill and Duncan have never done it.
Whether it's personal data or on-court dominance, Jokic deserves the title of superstar.
But the scariest thing is not that, but the words he said in an interview after winning.
The West swept the Lakers, and Jokic said it was a team victory and he was just a part of it.
In today's big triple-double to defeat the Heat, he modestly put the credit on his teammates, as follows:
"Murray played great, he was a great team leader."
"Braun is fighting hard, he has a bright future."
"Aaron Gordon was very focused in the game and thanks to his efforts."
"The data doesn't mean much to me, really, I don't care about that, I only care about winning."
Three teammates were mentioned in the interview, all compliments.
But as the biggest contributor to the team's win, he bluntly said that the data is meaningless.
The Nuggets are a strong team in large part because of a selfless leader like Jokic.
He has a lot of possession but is willing to share the ball, takes responsibility for losing, and is not greedy for winning, which is simply the perfect teammate.
When the bosses of the team are willing to lead by example and do the dirty work, it is naturally easier to win.
Jokic, it seems, really went for the championship...
