The NBA playoffs are exciting, with 8 divisional semifinals teams fighting for 4 divisional finals spots, Mavericks vs. Thunder, Nuggets vs. Timberwolves, Knicks vs. Pacers The three series are all hard fought to the Kings Mountain battle, while the Boston Celtics swept the Cleveland Cavaliers 4-1 and took the lead in securing a place in the Eastern Conference finals! According to statistics, this is the third consecutive year that the Green Army has reached the Eastern Finals, and it is also the fourth time in the past five years that the Eastern Finals have been reached! For the Green Army, entering the East is definitely not the end, but the championship! Looking at the East, it seems that no team can stop the Green Army from rushing to the championship, but then again, the real enemy of the Green Army is not in the East, but in the West where the Dragon Crouching Tiger is hidden, especially the defending champion Nuggets, they are the most championship-looking team in the league, and they are also the most difficult mountain for the Green Army to overcome!

With Jokic leading the Nuggets to the first championship trophy in team history last season, no one dares to underestimate the Nuggets, let alone question Jokic! As the saying goes, if you want to become a champion, you must first beat the champion, and many giant teams in the league have beaten the Nuggets and Jokic as the team building ideas and standards! For example, the Timberwolves hoarded the luxurious and tall interior group of Gobert + Towns + Reed + McDaniels + Lee Kyle for the Nuggets and the contract teacher; For example, the Mavericks prepared an inside combination of Gafford + Lively + PJ Washington for the Nuggets and Mr. Yo; Another example is the Green Army, in order to challenge the Nuggets and Mr. Yo, they introduced Boshen + Tillman to partner with the old Tanhua Horford at all costs! But at least from the current situation, Mr. Yue still has BUG-level dominance, and the background of the defending champion is even more daunting!

It is often said that it is easy to fight and difficult to defend, and the Nuggets are no exception! After the Nuggets won the championship, Brunson Brown and Jeff Green, two pieces of the puzzle, left the team to make a lot of money, and the depth of the Nuggets' roster declined visibly, which also made the outside world smell the opportunity to challenge the Nuggets! However, the Nuggets overcame difficulties and obstacles, especially in the playoffs, the Nuggets showed the essence of a championship team, full of dominance and resilience! In the first round, facing the Lakers, the opponent of last season's Western Conference finals, the Nuggets completed a gentleman's sweep 4-1 and easily advanced; In the Western Conference semifinals against the Timberwolves, the old rival in the first round of last season, the Nuggets changed their fate after losing 2 home games in a row, winning 3 games in a row to win the match point, and the situation is very good, and they are expected to become the 6th team in NBA history to turn the series around after losing 2 home games in a row!

From 4-1 to 3-2, it is not so much that the Lakers and Timberwolves are not strong, but that the defending champion Nuggets are too strong and resilient! In this round of playing the Lakers, the Zhan Mei combination punched hard, and the Lakers were able to take the lead in the score most of the time, but they could not win the series, and deeply experienced the fear of "simmering slowly on a small fire, and collecting the juice on a big fire"; In this round of playing the Timberwolves, the Timberwolves went down two cities first, relying on the fierce defensive integrity and the offensive performance of Huazi Tianshen, and the Nuggets scored no more than 100 in two consecutive games, which is more or less due to their own poor performance. When the Nuggets adapted to the Timberwolves' defensive system, they scored 110+ in 3 consecutive games, but the Timberwolves' offensive and defensive system collapsed, especially on the offensive end, the Timberwolves' disorganized and the Nuggets' ever-changing differences are too great!

The defending champions have a balanced offense and defense, strict discipline, high tacit understanding, and there is no panic in the face of adversity, Murray, Gordon, Porter Jr. can all step up to punish the opponent, and more importantly, they have the most trusted backbone in the league, Jokic, and the control of the game is beyond the reach of the dust! So far in the playoffs, Jokic has played 10 games, averaging 39.9 minutes per game, averaging 28.8 points + 13.3 rebounds (2nd in the league) + 9.5 assists (1st in the league) + 1.7 steals + 1.2 three-pointers per game, shooting 56.3% from the field and 64.5% from the field. Especially in the second round of the Tianwang Mountain War, Jokic exploded with 40 points + 13 assists + 0 turnovers, beat 4-time DPOY Gobert, and single-handedly dismantled the Timberwolves' interior group worth more than $100 million.

The apes on both sides of the strait can't stop crying, and the light boat has passed the ten thousand mountains! With a strong overall personality, championship experience, and a buggy superstar like Jokic, the Nuggets are undoubtedly the most championship-worthy team in the NBA. If the Timberwolves' ultra-luxury interior group can only be reduced to a toy in Jokic's hands, why should the Mavericks' Gafford + Lively, the Thunder's Holmgren + Jaylin, the Green Army's Boshen + Horford, the Knicks' Harten, and the Pacers' Turner be afraid? I have to say that the Green Army should be careful, even if they can easily break out of the East, it will be difficult to do anything if they meet the Nuggets led by Jokic in the Finals. Fans, what do you think about this? Leave me a comment to discuss.
