Jokic confirmed for the World Cup! First Battle for Chinese Fight for Olympic Qualification His father revealed that his favorite is still horses

On June 14, Beijing time, the NBA Finals ended yesterday. The Nuggets defeated the Heat 4-1 to win this year's NBA championship and the first NBA championship in team history, and star Jokic won the FMVP unanimously.

Earlier today, Serbia national team coach Pešić gave an interview to the media when he was asked if Jokic would participate in the men's basketball World Cup, and he gave an affirmative answer: "Jokic is on the national team squad. ”

According to previous reports, in this year's Men's Basketball World Cup, Serbia and China, South Sudan and Puerto Rico were in Group B, with China playing Serbia in the first match. The top two teams in Europe and the Americas, as well as the best teams in Asia, Oceania and Africa, will join forces with France, the host country of the 2024 Summer Olympics, to qualify for the Paris Olympics.

For Jokic, who just got his FMVP, this summer is bound to be busy. According to previous reports, he will also return to his hometown of Serbia to train with the national team and participate in the World Cup after a short break. After the World Cup, the NBA next season is about to begin, and he will return to the Nuggets.

Although Jokic has become the pride of the Nuggets and Serbia, according to his father, basketball was not Jokic's first choice on his growing path. Jokic's father said: "When he started to grow, I realized he could be a basketball player. But Jokic told me he wanted to be a rider, and I told him, 'Son, be a basketball player first, you'll be a great rider.' He has always trained hard to reach the top level, but his mind is always on his love of horses. ”

So far in his career, Jokic has been named to the All-Star 5 times, All-NBA First Team 3 times, All-NBA Second Team twice, 2-time Regular Season MVP, 1-NBA Championship, 1-Time Western Conference MVP, and 1-Finals MVP.
