8 triple-doubles in 13 games! First in the league in four statistics! Embiid sees clearly, this is called an organizational center

In the NBA regular season, the Nuggets, who have won seven consecutive games, face the Bulls, who have performed poorly recently. The two teams staged an offensive battle, and in the end the Nuggets lost to their opponents 127-130.

In this game, Jokic's performance was still stable, and Vucevic became his toy. However, his outside touch was not good this time, and he only made 1 of 7 three-pointers.

But his performance in other aspects was impeccable, and he finally handed over a triple-double of 36 points, 18 rebounds and 13 assists. In 13 games this season, he has posted 8 triple-doubles.

Triple-double is like drinking water, setting another two records

In this game, Jokic easily got a triple-double again, and he easily set a new milestone in his personal career.

First of all, he not only got a triple-double in this game, but also contributed 36 points, which brought his career number of 30+ triple-doubles to the 48th, tied for second in history with Doncic and Westbrook.

Another record is that his career triple-doubles have reached 172, continuing to rank second in history. If this trend continues, maybe by the end of this season, he will surpass Westbrook and become the number one player in history.

Averaging 30+ per game, with a shooting percentage of over 70%

After watching the milestone moments, let us look at the data level to see how terrifying Jokic's offensive efficiency is.

In the past 8 games, he averaged a triple-double of 32.9 points, 12.3 rebounds, and 10.8 assists per game. His overall shooting rate reached a terrifying 71.3%, and his three-point shooting rate was 55.6%.

It can be said that he single-handedly influenced the performance of the whole team, and ultimately helped the Nuggets win a wave of seven consecutive victories. He also won the Western Conference Player of the Week without any suspense.

Four statistics, first in the league

In terms of overall statistical performance this season, Jokic has also reached the top level of the league in many aspects. He ranks first in the league in four categories: 13.4 rebounds and 11.1 assists per game; 5.3 points per game in second offense; 8 triple-doubles.

In other aspects, Jokic is also among the top ten in the league, averaging 10.9 hits per game (second in the league), 29.2 points per game (seventh in the league), and 1.8 steals (eighth in the league).

It can be said that Jokic is completing his own evolution every season. More importantly, he can stably become the backbone of the Nuggets no matter who his teammates are.

Once the two heroes, now the gap is huge

Seeing Jokic's terrifying comprehensive performance, one can't help but think of an old friend. A few seasons ago, he prevented Jokic from winning three consecutive MVP awards, and he and Jokic became the NBA center duo. This person is Embiid, who has started load management since his return this season.

In fact, when we look at Embiid's playing style in recent years, it is not difficult to find that he is also very eager to become a ball-handling core and become as comprehensive an organizational center as Jokic.

So we can often see that he starts to hold the ball by himself after halftime and directly becomes an organizer. But it is a pity that Jokic, as an organizer, can either score goals himself or assist his teammates.

Embid's holding the ball is a complete joke. He either makes mistakes or makes various mistakes. What is even more intolerable is that at several critical moments in the playoffs, it was his mindless behavior of going it alone, which caused the 76ers to repeatedly lose good games and be eliminated.

This season, while Jokic is excelling in various ways, Embiid is struggling. Currently, he has only played 6 games on behalf of the 76ers, and is completely unranked in all statistics.

Embid, who is now physically fragile and mentally fragile, can only serve as a foil in front of Jokic.
