42 points, 22 rebounds and 6 assists! 44 points, 15 rebounds and 5 assists! Jokic set a god-level record, MVP is not worthy of you
Jokic's epic performance of a lone hero cannot hide his lineup's shortcomings, and the Nuggets' life and death are hanging on the line. 1. Historical data creator: Jokic carried the team with his own strength
1. Average triple-double dominant offense and defense
So far, Jokic has contributed 31.8 points, 13.7 rebounds and 10.3 assists per game, becoming the only player in the league to average triple-double average, with a true shooting percentage of 64.7% new center record. In the Western Conference semi-finals G5, he scored 44 points, 15 rebounds and 5 assists in a single game (17 of 25 shots). He scored 13 points in the last quarter and once ignited hope of reversal, but his teammates' cold performance of only 14 shots in the last quarter made his efforts was wasted.
2. Fight alone to break many history
In this round of series, Jokic created many milestones: 42 points, 22 rebounds and 6 assists (G1), becoming the first player in the playoffs to have 40+20+5 in a single game in the past 30 years;
has 18 triple-even in the playoffs, approaching the Magicians (30 times);
scored 25+ triple-double in 9 consecutive playoffs, surpassing Chamberlain to enjoy the first place in history.
2. The tragedy of lineup depth: Nuggets fell into "Jokic dependence"
1. The role players collectively remained silent
Except for Murray (average 23 points), other players contributed limitedly:
Aaron Gordon averaged only 11 points per game, and his outside shooting percentage dropped sharply to 28%;
The bench score ranked second from the bottom of the team, Westbrook was completely lost by 1 of 7 shots in the key battle;
The team's three-point shooting percentage was less than 33%, and the Thunder's targeted shorting strategy achieved significant results.
2. After the physical fitness crisis and tactical dilemma
Plateau home advantage offset, the Nuggets' continuous away game exposed their physical fitness shortcomings. The Thunder blocked Jokic's pass route with the strategy of Homgren's single defense + Jaylen Williams assisting defense, forcing him to fall into singles mode, while the Nuggets lacked response ability from the outside (9 of 31 shots from G5 three-pointers) further compressed the offensive space.
3. MVP battle and series prospects: The final redemption of the tragic hero
1. The MVP balance tilts towards Alexander
Although Jokic's data is more gorgeous, SGA leads the Thunder to firmly rank first in the West and has an advantage in team performance. In G5, Alexander contributed 31+6+7, and made continuous breakthroughs at critical moments to secure the victory. His scoring efficiency in the last quarter (65% hit rate) became the turning point of the series.
2. Historical laws indicate that the Nuggets have been in danger
Jokic lost in the playoffs for the first time (before 6 wins), while the Thunder replicated the promotion trajectory last season (first round sweep → counterattack in the semi-finals). If G6 cannot defend its home court, the Nuggets will face the embarrassment of stopping the second round for the first time in nearly three years.
4, G6 Life and Death Battle: Jokic's "One Man, One City" Declaration
Facing the desperate situation, Jokic stated after the game: "We will fight like beasts until the last second! Denver fans deserve a greater story." On the tactical level, the Nuggets need to activate two points to break the deadlock:
Murray's three-point shooting percentage in the series is only 29%, and he needs to share Jokic's offensive pressure;
Defensive formation change: increase the frequency of attacking Alexander, forcing the Thunder character players to handle key balls.
Historical revelation: In 2011, the Thunder won two consecutive reversals after losing at Tianwang Mountain. Can Jokic replicate the miracle? The fighting spirit and wisdom of this Serbian giant may become the only hope for the Nuggets to prosper.
