triple-double is a stat that some players cannot obtain in their careers. But for some star players, this is as simple as eating and drinking. Our host today, Yuri Kic, got another triple-double. Although the team lost to the Kings 122:124, Jokic scored 29 points, 15 rebounds and 14 assists in this game. This is his 42nd career triple-double.
In fact, many people have questions about why Jokic’s triple-double ability is so strong. Many people will say that Jokic’s unparalleled passing, and some people will say that Jokic’s game awareness and basketball IQ far exceed those of ordinary people. . This is the result of a combination of multiple factors. In fact, the Nuggets have also created a very good system for Jokic, allowing Jokic to fully display his talents, and triple-doubles are just like commonplace for him.
scoring and rebounding, we will not mention too much here. As a tall insider, Jokic has a strong ability to make damage inside. Three-point shooting is also his regular weapon, and his generous body can help him keep fighting for rebounds.
Let us focus on passing. There are many ways a center wants to pass, but a center like Jokic is still rare. Jokic passes mainly from three aspects. One is low singles, if the opponent doubles, Jokic will pass the ball immediately. One is high position support. Taking this opportunity, the Nuggets can use running tactics and Jokic can use his height to pass the ball. Another is Jokic's individual singles, using his own threat to attract defense and pass the ball.
It can be seen that Jokic already has three passing methods that can intuitively create scoring opportunities, which are very rare. Jokic's passing ability also brought the Nuggets' offense to a new level. Triple-doubles and high scores also followed.
This is why many people think Jokic is the league's first center. In terms of offensive methods and offensive efficiency, Jokic is not as good as Timberwolves center Towns. In terms of defensive deterrence, Jokic is not as good as 76ers center Embiid. If Davis is counted as the center position, then Jokic's talent and overall offensive and defensive capabilities are even worse than the opponent.
But why is Jokic the number one center in the league? Because in terms of offense, defense, rebounding, influence and passing, Jokic is a unique existence in the league. He is not as comprehensive as Towns, but he passes and defends better. He has more offensive methods than Embiid, and his shooting range is greater. He has a stronger passing ability than Davis and a taller stature. Such a center is rare in history. Although
lost the game, but Jokic's state of the game is really gratifying. Fans believe that this season's Jokic will still maintain outstanding performance and hit the triple-double data like today. Looking at the entire league, there has never been a center player as comprehensive as Jokic. Perhaps we are witnessing the legendary course of a center.
