Connecting a great team, a role model, 47 years of waiting for the league | Nuggets | team

After 47 years of team building, my dream came true overnight. The Nuggets finally won the NBA championship, but who could have guessed before the season that it would be them!

In the fifth game of the 2022-2023 NBA Finals held today Beijing time, the Nuggets defeated the Miami Heat 94-89, winning 4-1 on aggregate and bringing the championship trophy home! The core of the team, Jokic, won the NBA Finals MVP for his impeccable performance and became the "new owner" of the Bill Russell Award.

Why did the Nuggets win the championship? After the game, the vast number of fans spoke freely about the deep reasons behind the "one black to the end" of this new science champion, but the conclusion almost always points to one point, which is: a role model, connecting a strong team.

Role models, of course, refer to Jokichi.

During the NBA Finals, he conquered fans with an astonishing average of 30.2 points, 14 rebounds, and 7.2 assists per game. People talked about his magnificent passes and praised his comprehensive offensive skills, especially his saves in critical moments for the Nuggets.

Jokic's championship has also set multiple personal records and historical milestones. As the fifth non American player to win the NBA Finals MVP, he is tied with the names of Olajuwon, Tony Parker, and Nowitzki, demonstrating his extraordinary position on the global basketball stage. He also became the sixth player in active service to win the NBA Finals MVP, proving his dominance and influence in the league at present.

These all represent that he is an unparalleled superstar, an exceptional leader, but the reason for emphasizing the power of his role model comes from his other side.

Jokic's movements are not fast, his bouncing is average, and he used to be a chubby guy... When he first arrived in the NBA, no one thought he could succeed. In their eyes, those with superstar potential should maintain a body fat percentage of at least 6%, and his bouncing should be amazing. However, Jokic's style of playing seems to be unmatched.

But Jokic proved that perhaps playing basketball does require speed, strength, height, and jumping, but in reality, body control, footwork skills, and control of timing are the magic weapons for a master to defeat the enemy. For Joki ć, often a single pivot foot can sway the defender's body. "Actually, seeing such players has inspired us a lot. They don't have such good athletic abilities, but they have comprehensive skills, use their brains to play, and unlimited creative abilities. This is the goal we should learn from," said a fan.

After winning the championship, there were no roars, no screams, no cheers, no smiles... Jokic calmly shook hands with his opponent and was at the edge of the group photo at the height of the excitement in the room... He said that his presence was always mismatched with his identity, which may be the most authentic spiritual trait of this role model.

With Jokic's current value, he is definitely one of the top three players in the league, but his presence is really low. Not only does he not receive much superstar treatment in the league, but he is not the player with the most shots in the Nuggets.

As the absolute leader of the Nuggets, according to the treatment of other teams, it is reasonable for Jokic to make 30 shots in a single game. However, looking at Jokic's number of shots, for a long time, he not only ranked behind Murray and Porter, but sometimes even behind Gordon and Pop. But Jokic himself didn't care about these things, he still led the Nuggets step by step according to his playing style. If he had the same shooting power as Enbid and was obsessed with scoring, Jokic would probably throw Enbid several blocks away - it's just that people are accustomed to his greatness and low profile, and those who say his MVP has low value will definitely not understand the ball.

It is precisely with such an example that a team with extraordinary strength and teamwork spirit can be connected.

During the championship journey, the Nuggets demonstrated excellent offensive and defensive abilities. There are many efficient attacking methods within the team, such as Yokic's low post attack, Grant's mid range shooting percentage, Harris and Milsap's three-point shooting, Moser's fast attack, and so on. At the same time, the team has also performed quite well on the defensive end, such as Monroe's rebounding protection, Grant and Botti's blocks, Harris and Moser's defensive skills, and so on.

Secondly, the tacit understanding and collaborative ability among the Nuggets players are almost impeccable, as everyone on the team is aware of their roles and responsibilities and strives to complete them to the best of their ability. The whole team is united and willing to help each other, which is also an important reason why they can survive in difficult times.

In addition, the depth and variability of the team are also quite prominent. Malone has also been sitting as the head coach of the Nuggets for 8 years. In the year he took over the team, Jokic officially entered the NBA, step by step, bringing the Nuggets to the NBA Finals stage for the first time in their history. Malone's tailor-made tactics for Jokic have undoubtedly achieved excellent results, and he has been revered by fans as the "Zhuge Malone" due to his multiple clever and clever arrangements. Looking back at Malone's coaching over the years, he gradually moved from commanding and scheduling to trusting and relying on players, creating a more diverse and flexible space for players to play.

The Nuggets can adjust and change according to the opponent's situation, and choose different players to play according to different game situations and opponent characteristics. There are several excellent substitute players in the team, and when the main players have injuries or abnormalities, they can quickly fill the gap and play an important role. Overall, the Nuggets were able to win the championship mainly due to their comprehensive strength and team spirit.

Anyway, this Nuggets championship journey is destined to be recorded in history. Their victory is the best interpretation of perseverance, hard work, and teamwork. The success of the Nuggets has also set an example for ordinary basketball enthusiasts, inspiring them to pursue higher honors.
