It is obviously a chagrinding game. We once led by 20 points, but were defeated by the Nuggets led by Jokic. He really played the aggressiveness and dominance of the league's No. 1 center in the game. We adopted various defensive strategies against him, but it still had no effect. He is indeed a superstar at the inside Optimus Prime level!"

"We played a little timidly at the last moment and did not dare to attack easily. , especially when I lost all my free throws, this is the mistake we made today. For teams like the Nuggets who have won the championship, they are very good at grasping the opponent's mistakes. In the end, we paid a heavy price. I hope we can pay attention to details in the next game! ”
