The NBA playoffs are full of suspense from the second round. Unexpectedly, the Pacers became the first team to get the match point in the second round. They looked the most inconspicuous in the quarterfinals. They were in the small ball market at all, but they could become the super dark horse this year and suppress the Cavaliers in the East. With the favorites in the championship, the Celtics, the Thunder, and the Cavaliers, the big scores in the series are in a passive situation. The Pacers really have the chance to create miracles and stand out and compete for the championship trophy. In the second round of the four-group showdown, the most intense ones should be the Nuggets and Thunder. The two teams have already tied 2-2 in a big score. After 4 games, the score difference between three games is within 10 points, including a final score and an overtime game. The Nuggets and Thunder showdown actually hides the match between the current MVP, Teacher Yo and Alexander. During the regular season, Jokic and Alexander have been ranked in the top two of the MVP list, and their personal dominance is far superior to other stars. Alexander is the scoring leader this season, scoring 50+ points in four consecutive games, averaging 30+ points per game for three consecutive seasons, with a 50% shooting percentage, comparable to Michael Jordan. At the same time, Alexander led the team with outstanding record, leading the Thunder to a top record of 68 wins and 14 losses, and averaged up to 13 points per game. On the other hand, Jokic has more comprehensive personal data. He averaged 29.6 points, 12.7 rebounds and 10.2 assists per game in the regular season. He ranked in the top three in the league in three basic data, and even averaged 1.8 steals per game, ranking second in the league. He achieved the first time in NBA history, and these 4 data in a single season ranked in the top three in the league.
Jokic also scored terrifying data in a single game many times. In the match against the Suns in March, he scored 31 points, 21 rebounds and 22 assists, which is unprecedented. In the game against the Timberwolves in early April, Jokic scored an epic triple-double with 61 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists. 61 points is also the highest score in the league in a single game this season. Including G1 in the playoffs and the Thunder, Jokic also scored 42 points, 22 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 blocks, becoming the first player in NBA history to have 40+20+5+2 in a single game in the playoffs. This is also why most fans regard Jokic as the number one player in the league today. The data is too exaggerated and the influence on the court is too strong. Unlike Alexander, Mr. Yo has already proved himself in the playoffs and led the Nuggets to win the first championship in team history in 23 years.
If you get another MVP, Jokic will join Russell, Jabbar, Chamberlain, James, and Jordan. These are top super giants who have won at least 4 MVPs, but at present, he is still almost there. On the one hand, he only has one championship. On the other hand, after fighting with the Thunder, Jokic's personal performance has become worse and worse, and his shortcomings have been exposed. The top ten super giants in the NBA history are almost all offensive and defensive, but Mr. Yoo's defense is obviously inferior to offense, and his record in leading the team to play against strong teams is not outstanding. Over the years, Jokic has never defeated a team with 50+ wins in the playoffs, including the 19 Trail Blazers, 20 Lakers, 21 Suns, 22 Warriors, and 24 Timberwolves. When encountering this year's Thunder, the Nuggets are probably in lingering. After
G1 scored 42 points and 22 rebounds, the teacher performed in the following three games, including 17 points for 6 of 16 shots in the second game, 20 points for 8 of 25 shots in the third game, 27 points for 7 of 22 shots in the fourth game, and 21 of 63 shots in the total shooting percentage of 33.3%. As a center, this efficiency is indeed a bit terrible. In addition, he failed to show his due strength on the organization that Jokic is good at. In this round of the series, Jokic only sent 21 assists, but made 23 mistakes, and the assist-loss ratio was even less than 1. The Nuggets were lucky enough to win two games in the duel with the Thunder. To be honest, other players took more credit. Gordon played the savior three-pointer with Gordon, G3 Murray and Porter Jr. both were defeated, and Gordon's three-point tie dragged the game into overtime.
, including facing the Clippers in the first round, if it weren't for Westbrook, the Nuggets might have gone home to fish. From this point of view, Jokic's personal dominance still cannot withstand dismantling and is not as strong as we imagined. The main reasons are firstly because of poor defense and secondly, there are major physical problems. The intensity of this year's playoffs is unprecedentedly high. The Thunder happens to be one of the most intense teams given to the league. There are many young people and the pace on the court is fast. As a heavy center, Jokic is indeed a little overwhelmed. As the schedule progresses, Yoo's physical fitness is obviously exhausted, and he plays worse than the other. There are many people falling down. As the core leader of the team, Jokic still has many places to lose prices. This season, he has made many harsh words to his teammates, scolding his teammates for not playing well and deducting their salary. He said that there was no helper. At the end of the season, he almost caused a locker room storm, causing the team to fire the head coach and general manager. In the series between
and the Thunder, Jokic was obviously anxious. There were more and more dirty movements on the court, more and more exaggerated fake falls, and more and more complaints with the referee. In Skip's words, Jokic is now starting to be like Luca Doncic: every penalty or missed judgment, he has to complain to the referee exaggeratedly. After all, Jokic is also a star who is prone to emotionality, which will hinder him from leading the team to achieve better results. Do you think the winner and the loss have been decided in the series between the Thunder and the Nuggets?
