44 points + 42 points! The first person in NBA history, but you are still overrated! It is difficult to win the championship

Basketball

NBA playoffs are in full swing, and two places in the division finals have been born. The first is the Indiana Pacers, which has been their two consecutive years in the Eastern Conference Finals. There is no doubt that the Pacers are the biggest dark horse this year. They have poor record in the early stage of the regular season. As early as December last year, the Pacers only achieved 10 wins and 15 losses in the first 25 regular season games. They were only ranked 10th in the Eastern Conference at the time, but now they are counterattacking and breaking into the Eastern Conference Finals. The second is the Minnesota Timberwolves. Similarly, the Timberwolves have also entered the division finals for two consecutive years. This year, they have beaten two traffic teams, the Lakers and the Warriors, with a strong momentum. The team's combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated. Even Randall, who has always performed in the playoffs, can explode this year and his efficiency has soared. The Timberwolves and Pacers all have the chance to compete for the championship. There are two places in the finals in the

, and the Nuggets probably won't get it. They were first won by their opponent Thunder. The Nuggets this season have been full of twists and turns. Their dominance has declined significantly compared to the season two years ago. At the end of this season, the Nuggets are still struggling to get a spot for the playoff tickets and have not lost a single game. During that period, they also experienced a team breakup. Jokic was revealed to be dissatisfied with the team's locker room atmosphere. At the same time, they had conflicts with the original head coach Malone, which led to the dismissal of both coach Malone and general manager Booth. The team is in troubles internally and externally, and almost no one thinks that the Nuggets can go far in the playoffs. Moreover, in the first round, they met the Clippers led by Kaharden Jr. You know, the Clippers won 18 wins and 3 losses in the last 21 games of the regular season, ranking first in the league during the same period.

Unexpectedly, when the Nuggets arrived in the playoffs, they could still sweep away the haze and awaken in full. They eliminated the Clippers in the first round through tiebreaks, and the second round also brought considerable pressure to the league's No. 1 Thunder. This is due to the explosion of some role players in the team. For example, Aaron Gordon has completed two finals this year's playoffs, averaging 17.8 points, 7.3 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game. Personal data has increased significantly compared to the regular season period, and has evolved into one of the strongest 3D players at active service. For example, Westbrook, the game is full of enthusiasm and drives the entire Nuggets team atmosphere. In the first round of the Clippers, Westbrook's performance is indelible. He has played a role in deciding the winner at critical moments many times, and can maintain a good outside feel. Although Westbrook has become an All-Star player, he can still clearly recognize his positioning and remain full of vitality in the game.

Of course, the Nuggets can't get out of touch with their star Jokic. In this year's playoffs, Teacher Yo's personal data is still full, and he can average 26.5 points, 12.9 rebounds, 8.1 assists per game, and even average 2.2 steals per game. In the series against the Thunder, Jokic also scored super data repeatedly, including G1 scoring 42 points, 22 rebounds and 6 assists, and G5 scoring 44 points, 15 rebounds and 5 assists. He became the first player in NBA history to score 40+15+5 multiple times in the single-round series in the playoffs. However, the Nuggets face a problem. If they ask their teachers to perform well, they can't win. For example, the Nuggets are basically crushed by the Thunder in the whole game. Similarly, even if they can score more than 80% of their true shooting percentage, the team cannot win.

This just shows that Teacher Yo is still overestimated in leading the team, and it is difficult to lead his teammates to break the deadlock in high-intensity games. In fact, Jokic's form in this year's playoffs is not stable. Except for these two games that scored 40+15+5, his performance in the other three games was disaster-level. For example, from G2 to G4, Jokic's shooting percentage exceeded 40% in a game, and his shooting percentage was only 33.3%. For a center, this efficiency is indeed too outrageous. Why he is overrated is mainly because most fans now regard Jokic as the number one active player in the NBA, which is actually no problem, but compared with the NBA's past league appearances, such as Peak James, Peak Kobe and other players, Jokic is obviously still almost interested.

In addition, Jokic has a big problem, which is that his temper is not very good on and off the court, which is not a good thing as a team leader. It is easy to be anxious if Jokic cannot beat him in the game. In recent playoffs, his movements have become bigger and bigger. His defensive end is not clean and his offense is ugly. He often exaggerates his fake fall action to make fouls and deceives the referee. Off the court, Jokic was unambiguous in his teammates. He had commented on Porter Jr., saying that if he didn't play well, he would deduct my salary. He said that the team's entire defense was too bad, but in fact, he was not good at defending himself, and said that no teammates came forward to help him. NBA celebrity Perkins commented: LeBron is tired at the age of 40 and is questioned for being great, but Jokic is tired but says he needs help. The double standards should be stopped. 44 points + 42 points! The first person in the NBA history, but you are still overrated and it is difficult to win the championship. I wonder if the Nuggets can continue their dominance in the next few years?
