On May 15, Beijing time, the NBA division semifinals continued, G3 and G4 won two games in a row to chase the big score to a 2-2 draw Nuggets returned to the home court to usher in the battle with the Timberwolves on King Mountain, the Timberwolves starting point guard Conley was absent, and the Nuggets who finally returned to the home court did not let the victory slip away again, and defeated the Timberwolves 112-97 under the leadership of Jokic, leading the team to let the two chase three in a 0-2 desperate situation, and the big score was 3-2 to take the lead in getting the match point.

Jokic is undoubtedly the biggest contributor to the Nuggets' ability to win Tianwang Mountain, facing the Timberwolves, who are the league's No. 1 in defensive efficiency, and 4-time DPOY Gobert, Jokic played an insoluble performance, setting two historical firsts in a row.

Before the game, Jokic received this season's MVP trophy at home, which is also the third time Jokic has won the MVP in the past 4 years.

Jokic, who was fully focused on the game, also quickly showed dominance on the court, and Jokic rarely completed a stride breakthrough as soon as the game started.

After leading the team to establish an advantage, Jokic began to play his passing skills again, continuously sending wonderful passes to revitalize the team, and in the second half of the game, Jokic frequently called one-on-one, and beat the Timberwolves inside.

When facing Gobert, the best defensive player, Jokic continued to train the opponent, and played eighteen martial arts inside and outside, and in the process of Gobert's defense, Jokic shot 8 of 9.

Of course, other players can't limit Jokic, Jokic shot 15 of 22, 2 of 3 three-pointers, 8 of 9 free throws, and efficiently hit 40 points, 7 rebounds, 13 assists and 0 turnovers under the Timberwolves' targeted defense.

He is the first player to score at least 40 points, 10 assists and 0 turnovers in the playoffs after the Rockets Paul G5 scored 41 points, 10 assists, 7 rebounds and 0 turnovers against the Jazz 6 years ago.

At the same time, this game is the fifth time in Jokic's career that he has scored 40+ points in the playoffs, becoming the second center player since O'Neal to accomplish this feat in the 21st century.

And since 2020, Jokic has led the playoffs in rebounds, assists, double-doubles and triple-doubles over the same period.

If you count the 0 turnovers in the game, Jokic created two all-time firsts in one game.

Jokic is the first player in NBA playoff history to hit at least 15 goals + 10 assists in a single game while making zero turnovers.

He is also the first player to score at least 70 points with a score + assist, but not a single turnover, since the start of the 1977-78 season.

You know, Jokic handed out 13 assists in the whole game, and did not make a turnover, which shows his stability and terrifying dominance.

With 13 assists in this game, Jokic's total assists in the playoffs increased to 591, surpassing O'Neal and rising to fourth place on the all-time center list, behind only Abdul-Jabbar, Bill Russell and Chamberlain.

After such a horrific performance, Jokic was asked after the game if he would be relieved to win in G5, Jokic said: "No, we're still in a dangerous situation right now, we're going to continue to play with desperation, and we want to win another game on the Timberwolves' home court." ”

According to historical big data statistics, since the introduction of the best-of-7 system, the team that wins Tianwangshan has an 82% probability of winning the series.

Therefore, the Timberwolves, who have lost three games in a row, should obviously be the more nervous side.

Edwards was asked after the game what he thought of Jokic's performance: "I can't do anything but laugh, I mean, I'm not going to be angry because he's the MVP, he's the best player in the league, he's the best guy in the game, and I have to cheer him on." ”

The reason why Jokic can make his opponent so helpless, in addition to his strong offensive dominance and ability to play, is also an important reason for his terrifying ball quotient.

With the team leading by a large score in the final quarter, Jokic consumed a total of 43 seconds through 5 "deliberate rolling", constantly compressing the Timberwolves' chances to chase points.

After a goal is scored in a sports battle, the total time of the game does not stop, and the 24 seconds of the attacking team do not start until the player in the field touches the ball, which gives the ball time to consume the maneuver.
