A new season of sports
If you want to talk about this year's MVP competition, it can be said to look at it in stages. Everyone knows that Embiid is quite strong in the first half of the season. Embiid actually came to MVP from the beginning of the season, after all, without Harden, Embiid has more control over the ball. In the first 34 games, he averaged 353 points 113 rebounds and 57 assists and a shooting percentage of 533%。It's a pity that Embiid himself is too brittle and uses too much force, which directly leads to injuries that affect the season. Embiid wants to hit the MVP, and he can only wait until next season. I have to say, the league rule is really interesting. But everyone has to abide by it, and now there are hard and fast rules for taking MVP.
Embiid withdrew from the competition, and now players such as Doncic and Alexander seem to be still impacting the MVP, but in fact, they also have their own weaknesses. So we can see on the MVP list that Jokic stands out from the crowd. For Jokic, he doesn't have too much motivation for MVP right now, but there is no way to do it, because he is too tough, MVP is an honor that can be won by piggybacking. When it comes to overall stats, Jokic averages 26 per game1 point 123 rebounds 93 assists on 58 shooting3%。Anyone who has watched Jokic's game knows that Jokic is now at ease, and his understanding of the game is obviously not in the same dimension as other players, which is the gap in talent.
In recent games, Jokic told the league what a super MVP is. In the last three games, he scored 21 points, 19 rebounds and 15 assists against the Wizards, 29 points, 15 rebounds and 14 assists against the Trail Blazers, and 32 points + 16 assists + 16 rebounds against the Warriors. Jokic has these super triple-double data at his fingertips, and some players can't do it in their entire careers. In the future, if Jokic plays 30 points + 20 assists + 20 rebounds, everyone should not be surprised, after all, Jokic has such ability. In fact, Jokic is not very concerned about statistics, otherwise there is no problem with averaging a triple-double per game, and he will get 1-2 more assists.
The Nuggets are currently ranked third in the West, but in fact, the Nuggets played a low-key regular season, which is not a reflection of their true strength. If there is an opponent in the West who can cause problems for the Nuggets, it is not the Lakers, nor the Warriors, nor the Clippers. All three teams have superstars, yes, but the rosters are flawed and none have decent interior lines to limit Jokic. On the other hand, the Nuggets have the resources to match their stars. In this regard, no one is unconvinced, and the clues can already be seen from the regular season against each other. If you want to talk about the real opponent, it is actually the Timberwolves. The Timberwolves are a two-tower team with a height that matches the Nuggets, and the Timberwolves have good overall defensive resources. But if there's a problem, it's that Edwards is too young to really grow into a superstar.
Overall, this season's Nuggets and Jokic are absolute MVP favorites and championship favorites, and their real strength is in the playoffs. Everyone is also looking forward to the arrival of the season, to see how the Nuggets win the game, and whether there is any team in the West that can wrestle with the Nuggets. In fact, a team building model like the Nuggets is the healthiest. It's a pity that there are too few players like Jokic, and more teams are in the middle of a rebuild, cycling between rebuilding and semi-rebuilding. Of course, there is only one championship every year, and not every team can win the championship.
