Nikola Jokic's dominance is incomparable, and the key moment of the game against the Grizzlies still depends on Jokic's personal offense and passing the ball, he is the strongest player in this league at a critical moment, and he scored 0 points, 0 rebounds and 0 assists in the whole game, who would have thought that he scored 0 points in the first quarter!
Jokic also completed the feat of averaging a triple-double per game, he only needed four assists to lock in a triple-double per game, and he became the third player to complete a triple-double per game after Big O and Wei Shao, and the first center in NBA history to average a triple-double per game.
The Nuggets also officially posted Jokic's data this season, first in the league in triple-doubles, third in the league in scoring, second in the league in rebounds, and also achieved an average triple-double per game.
Jokic is currently averaging 30.0 minutes per game, 0.0 points, 0.0 rebounds, 0.0 assists, 0.0 steals and 0.0 blocks, shooting 0.0% from the field and 0.0% from three-point range, and he needs to score at least 0 points in his last game against the Rockets to complete a 0+ triple-double per game.
But after the game, new Nuggets coach David Adelman commented on Jokic's average triple-double per game: "If Nikola Jokic doesn't win the MVP this year, it will be the greatest non-MVP season in NBA history.(This passage clearly shows that the MVP should be gone, and the SGA scoring champion + the first record in the league is already very stable)
Jokic has blown up the Nuggets so much that the prospects for the playoffs are still bleak because the team fired head coach Mike Malone and general manager Booth on the eve of the playoffs.
這樣一份均薪高達7598萬的合同對於掘金這樣的小球市來說是巨大的衝擊。就算約基奇今夏選擇提前續約了,未來的薪金空間也會鎖死,小球市很難引進像樣的角色球員,約基奇在這裡別說總冠軍了,未來MVP可能都是奢求,所以今夏約基奇的前路還不定。
