Xianglong congratulates the New Year and posts to win the grand prize Last season's championship Denver Nuggets, all the glory is on center Jokic. Jokic is omnipotent, few people can block low-post, back-to-back offense, high-post strategy, passing, blocking and dismantling are not solved at all, three-point shooting, rhythm control is clear, and no alignment and change of defense can stop Jokic's play.
In terms of game dominance and impact, Jokic is likely to be the league's most dominant center since O'Neal 20 years ago. Jokic's presence not only gave opponents a headache, he helped small forward Porter Jr. become a better player and shooter, and he also made big forward Aaron Gordon play the best efficiency and performance of his career with the Nuggets.
The Nuggets' offensive and defensive system revolves around Jokic, who is not inferior to Duncan, one of the top ten stars in NBA history, in terms of Nuggets' tactics, teamwork, and teammates. Using O'Neal's dominance and Duncan's dominance to describe Jokic's presence in the Nuggets is not only a compliment, but also the closest to the facts.
People didn't ignore the Nuggets' other ace point guard, Jamal Murray, who won the championship, but everyone didn't really realize that Jamal Murray was so extraordinary. Jamal Murray is like a ghost warrior, when the Nuggets need someone to break the game and change the rhythm of the game, Jamal Murray can always step up, when Jokic is in trouble, the Nuggets need someone to untie the game and score key shots, Jamal Murray's magical singles and various scoring methods, these two years have hardly disappointed.
The Nuggets easily defeated the Kings 117-96 yesterday, Jamal Murray scored 32 points in 33 minutes, 13 of 15 shots, including 5 of 6 three-point shots, Jamal Murray's various difficult goals, including a three-point hard pull, a jump shot from the back without looking at the basket, a jumper after a personal disc stop, and a thrower with an unbalanced body under the basket can all be scored, all kinds of goals are magical, it is unbelievable.
Last season's Western Conference finals, the Lakers were swept by the Nuggets 0:4, Jokic really has no solution, and no one in the Lakers can hold Jokic's shooting, restricted area offense and transmission, but the key trump card for the Nuggets to really make the Lakers helpless is Jamal Murray, his various unsolved singles, jump shots, key three-point shots and breakthrough baskets, so that Lakers forward James can't help but give Jamal Murray a thumbs up and admire Jamal Murray's miraculous goal. In the fierce competition, confrontation, and life-and-death battle in the Western Conference Finals, Jamal Murray used his ball skills and various superpowers to score points to beat the Lakers. can convince Lao Zhan, in addition to Warriors guard Curry, Jamal Murray is definitely another top master.
Jamal Murray has been one of the NBA's most underrated stars over the past few years, with his ability and key shots, impact on the game and team, pressure and aggression on opponents far exceeding expectations. Jamal Murray is averaging 20 per game this year6 points, 64 assists, 4-to-7 shooting, 4-1 three-point shooting, 2 turnovers per game, seemingly ordinary, this is the league's second-tier star indicator level, in fact, his performance and consistent output are better and better than last season. As for Jamal Murray's better at key balls, singles, and difficult goals, this year's performance is also extraordinary. Judging from the key ball performance, Jamal Murray's performance has the ability of a first-line star, individual singles and various scoring methods, and Jamal Murray has the ability to win as a superstar.
The Nuggets were able to win the championship last season smoothly, relying on teamwork, balanced offense and defense, Nuggets head coach Malone used his troops like a god, the perfect eight-man rotation played the highest efficiency, and the two most important aces Jokic and Jamal Murray dominated the game. Jamal Murray's two consecutive seasons of super crazy key shots and difficult scoring ability prove that his condition, strength is not accidental and momentary luck, he is the Nuggets to dominate the game of the key star, importance, personal ability, influence can be on a par with Jokic.
At present, it seems that the Nuggets are still the best team in the West, the team with the most sure call and odds of winning the championship, the Nuggets don't just rely on Jokic, they also have the trump card of Jamal Murray, which is the most difficult and underestimated advantage for the Nuggets.
