Eat burgers, drink Coke, hit earthlings.

The defending champion deserves to be the defending champion.

On November 7, Beijing time, the Nuggets defeated the Pelicans 134-116 at home, and after winning this victory, the Nuggets currently have a record of 7 wins and 1 loss, continuing to rank first in the West.

The plot of this game is also quite interesting, the Nuggets trailed by as many as 20 points in the second quarter; In the third quarter, the Nuggets played 40-21 in a single quarter and directly overtook them; By the end of the day, the Nuggets had won by 18 points.

In general, in a game, it would be good to be able to turn the game from 20 points behind, the Nuggets not only turned over the 20-point handicap, but also won the opponent by nearly 20 points, and the gap of 40 points back and forth is really unbelievable.

There is no doubt that Jokic was the biggest contributor to the Nuggets' win in this game.

In the whole game, Jokic played a total of 36 minutes, shooting 15 of 24, 2 of 6 three-pointers, 3 of 5 free throws, and scored a triple-double of 35 points, 14 rebounds and 12 assists, which was his third triple-double this season and the 108th triple-double of his career, surpassing James and Kidd and occupying fourth in history.

In the first half, Jokic got 22 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists, which is almost the statistics of a superstar player in the whole game; In the third quarter, the most critical stage of chasing points, it was also Jokic, who successfully hit two strong baskets in a row to help the Nuggets achieve overtake.

So far this season, Jokic's performance has been truly amazing.

So far, Jokic has played in 8 games for the Nuggets, averaging 34.0 minutes per game, scoring 28.4 points, 12.9 rebounds and 8.4 assists, shooting 63.3%/38.7%/74.4% from three, and 69.1% from the field.

His scoring is a career high, rebounds and assists are the second highest in his career, and his true shooting rate of 69.1% is incredible, but Jokic's career can only rank second, just because last season, he has averaged 24.5 points per game and 70.1% true shooting percentage.

This is Jokic now, and you only have one feeling when you watch him play: understatement, freewheeling.

Not much to say about passing, often a flick is an assist, in terms of individual offense, Jokic is now like a monster near the near frame, often twisting and twisting, from the free throw line to the basket, and then dangling, the opponent loses position, and then a turn, hook, hit.

The stats also prove how horrific Jokic's finish near the near frame is: Jokic has shot 33-of-41 from 5-9 feet this season, shooting 80.5 percent from the field, and his Floating Jump Shot is particularly insane, with 19 of 20 shots so far, which is not always possible even in practice.

Jokic also has a very beautiful mid-range shot, shooting 54.3 percent of his 127 from 10-19 feet last season and 12-of-17 shooting 70.6 percent so far this season.

Moreover, he has also shot more three-pointers this season, averaging 1.5 per game so far (0.8 last season) and shooting 38.7 percent, so Jokic can maintain a true shooting rate of nearly 70 percent while averaging only 4.9 free throws per game.

To sum it up, this is a near-frame finishing beast with center-forward vision, an awareness of historic passing skills, a mid-range killer and an efficiency monster, or more simply, the number one man in the league today.

As has been done for many years, with Jokic not on the floor, the Nuggets are two teams:

- When Jokic is on the floor this season, the Nuggets can score 123.3 points per 100 possessions, outscoring opponents by 17.6 points

- With Jokic not on the floor this season, the Nuggets can only score 103.9 points per 100 rounds, a net loss of 3.7 points to opponents

Jokic currently has a cumulative plus/minus of +102, which is the best in the league, and for comparison, Jokic's cumulative plus/minus last season was +640, which is also the first in the league and ahead of Gordon (+518), who is second in the league.

Looking at the high-level data, in terms of BPM, PER value, WinShare, WS per 48 minutes, and player irreplaceable value VORP, Jokic is the first in the league except for a slight disadvantage behind Embiid in the PER value of 0.1.

One or two leads may not necessarily mean anything, but if a player can dominate the list in all high-level statistics, don't think about it, this must be a superstar, and it is very likely to be a superstar that is rare in history.

It's also interesting to say that Embiid next door has also started the year extremely strongly, currently averaging 32.5 points per game to rank first in the league, and has a career high of 6.2 assists, and the 76ers have a 5-1 record, second in the East.

On the same day that Jokic scored 35 points, 14 rebounds and 12 assists, Embiid also scored 48 points in a single game, including 10 of 10 in the third quarter and 29 points.

In the past three years, the top two MVPs have been either Jokic or Embiid, and judging from the beginning of this year, the MVP battle for the new season may still be between these two.

It's hard to say whether Embiid cares or not, but it's certain that Jokic definitely doesn't care about MVP or All-NBA awards, otherwise he could have averaged a triple-double last season, and after winning the championship last season, he wouldn't have even won the FMVP trophy and ran to the side of the crowd to celebrate.

If you have the opportunity, you can really see more about how Jokic plays, it is true that the charm of the center is not as good as that of the guard, but Jokic is really not an ordinary center, dominance, invincibility, the first person on active duty, these seemingly exaggerated words, used on him, really not too much.
