Triple-double in the first game.

Jokic is on fire!

How hot is it?

The last quarter of the game was no longer important, and during the post-game interview, a large number of media circled around Jokic, and the number was even more than that of the media around Qin Yang.

And most of the questions asked to Qin Yang are about Jokic.

Qin Yang:

"Nikola Jokic is a very good player, he can make most defenders embarrassed, his shooting ability is in the top five of the active interior line, and having a player like that is very important for us to win the championship again."

Dirk played eight minutes, coming in the final garbage time.

In an interview, Dirk also praised Jokic:

"Of course, he's going to be the future of Dallas. No, no, don't compare him to me, maybe he'll be better than me, I didn't have that stat in the first game. ”

Even LeBron James stood up and commented on Jokic:

"Jokic was so good that I didn't have a triple-double in the first game, which is probably another NBA record. I'm bullish on him to become a superstar. ”

Jokic's debut was so good that no one expected Jokic to have such a great performance.

After all, Jokic fell to the second round in the first round of the draft, which was not seen in addition to the reason why he could not join the NBA immediately.

But who would have thought that Jokic would get a triple-double in the first game.

It's a scary performance.

In this case, even Qin Yang was 10 of 15, 6 of 6 free throws, and got 31 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, which became a foil.

Qin Yang deserves to get such data, but Jokic's performance is too exaggerated.

In just one game, Jokic was on fire.

The fire is a mess.

The next day, Jokic was covered by major media outlets.

The Serbian athlete quickly became popular across the league after entering the NBA, and the Mavericks' championship expectations were raised again.

TNT News:

"In the offseason, the Mavericks did little to add two role players, signed last year's rookie, and everyone thought that the Mavericks might be disqualified from competing for a championship this season, but it has to be said that the Mavericks were ready for a long time, and Nikola Jokic, he was the biggest gain of the Mavericks this season."

US Weekly:

"Once again, I questioned the scouts and team managers across the league, look at the Dallas Mavericks lineup, Bruce Qin turned out to be undrafted, Nikola Jokic was selected in the second round at 41, what else did the previous team manager choose? We just can't understand it. ”

……

Jokic's explosion once again proves how important the draft is.

Last year's first-round pick generated a lot of parallel goods, and less than half of them could end up staying in the NBA, but almost all the first-round picks of the league's teams were not selected.

It's embarrassing.

Blindly following the experts' predictions, I was stupid by the so-called template.

All of the draft teams felt like they had their heads in water.

On October 31, the Mavericks played the Los Angeles Clippers away.

The Clippers were a bit depressed last season. When we met the Warriors in the playoffs, it was a magical scene, and the team and the main team taunted: We are preparing for the next opponent.

As a result, the Warriors went berserk as if they had received a buff bonus, winning three games in a row and winning the reversal.

This feeling is getting worse for a day.

Therefore, in the offseason, Griffin changed girlfriends again, and he was a small star, very beautiful. Perhaps this will soothe Griffin's wounded heart.

This time against the Mavericks at home, the Clippers finally became much more normal, and no one jumped out to slap their faces.

Whether it's Griffin or Paul, they're very low-key.

It's been three or four years, and they haven't made it to the Western Conference finals, and the Clippers are really miserable.

And this game has become Jokic's famous battle.

Although Griffin didn't speak, he was very unconvinced in his heart, and wanted to beat Jokic in the opposite position, prove his strength, and prove to everyone that Jokic was a parallel import.

But Jokic, who is only 20 years old, plays very smart.

On the offensive end, Jokic is rarely strong, and he never singles Griffin, and Griffin's strength is still very strong on the inside. Jokic's shots are mostly from the outside.

In terms of height, Jokic is a bit taller than Griffin.

After opening up the space, Jokic can also pass the ball.

The Mavericks are going crazy again.

Qin Yang once again easily got 29 points, 5 assists and 4 rebounds, clocking out in the third quarter, Rudy Gay, Cosby, PJ Tucker, played very well.

Perhaps the only misfortune is that Seth Curry sprained his ankle and was out for a few weeks.

Jokic had a triple-double of 24 points, 11 assists and 12 rebounds, and Griffin, who played again, doubted life.

Jokic has a high ball quotient, and when he has the ball in his hand, he exerts a terrifying power. The Mavericks won the game almost devastatingly.

PJ Tucker has a scary three-point shot and is very good on the defensive end.

Both Cory Brewer and Rudy Gay were affected.

Back then, the biggest impact within the team was the inside, Thackeray didn't play in two games, and Al Jefferson and Dirk Nowitzki both had a lot of minutes to play.

Gobert is in need of game experience, playing more than 30 minutes per game, and Jokic is about the same.

In this way, it is bitter for Al Jefferson and Dirk Nowitzki, who play an average of less than 20 minutes, which is a huge waste.

Also struggling are Cosby and James Ennis, who have also cut their appearances significantly this season. Compared with PJ Tucker and Rudy Gay and others, the strength of the two is significantly weaker.

Cosby's role was replaced by Jokic, some organizational tasks were given to Jokic, and Cosby's playing time turned into garbage time.

This has made the atmosphere a little bad for some people in the team.

Dirk was also aware of this, and after discussing it with Qin Yang, he could only appease him in private one by one.

Al Jefferson is okay and has seen it open. I just want to win another championship, anyway, there are still two years left in the contract, and I can do whatever I want when the time comes, so I don't care so much about the playing time. After being reassured, Al Jefferson quickly stabilized.

James Ennis is also okay, since entering the league, Ennis has been wandering, even going to overseas leagues, playing on the bench and waiting for opportunities is not much of a problem for him.

The biggest gap between the teams is Cosby.

Players who scored 21 points in a single game in the finals last season have hardly played this season. That's a bit too big.
