Nikola Jokic
The Denver Nuggets, led by Nikola Jokic’s 41 points, regained first place in the Western Conference with two games remaining until the end of this season’s NBA regular season.
Denver defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves 116-107 in the final home game of the 2023-2024 NBA regular season held at Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado, USA on the 11th (Korean time).
Denver, with a record of 56-24, surpassed Minnesota (55-25) and moved up to first place in the West.
Before this game, the two teams had the same record with 55 wins and 24 losses, but Minnesota was in first place in the head-to-head record.
Denver now concludes the regular season with away games against the San Antonio Spurs and Memphis Grizzlies. 안전놀이터
Since both teams are in the bottom tier, it is expected that it will not be easy for Minnesota to regain the lead in the remaining games. San Antonio (20-60) is last in the West, and Memphis (27-53) is 13th.
Denver, which completed its entire home game schedule, recorded a home winning percentage of 80.5% (33 wins and 8 losses). So far, they have the highest winning percentage at home in the West.
Denver finished last season with 53 wins and 29 losses, entered the playoffs (PO) in first place in the West, and won the championship trophy after beating the Miami Heat, which conquered the East.
On this day, Denver’s ace Jokic performed well with 41 points, 11 rebounds, and 7 assists, defeating Minnesota, the top competitor.
Jochki showed off his exquisite shooting skills, taking 20 shots and succeeding in 16. In terms of probability, it is close to 80%.
Guard Jermall Murray, who worked with Jokic, also played his part with 20 points and 6 assists. Forward Michael Porter Jr. also added 18 points and 8 rebounds.
Minnesota struggled as center Rudy Gobert, who was selected as the best defender this season, was unable to control Jokic under the goal. 슬롯사이트
Minnesota, who continued the close game until the beginning of the fourth quarter with a play that emphasized teamwork, collapsed after allowing 7 points and 2 assists to Jokic in the game-winning game.
Jokic virtually secured his award as the regular league’s Most Valuable Player (MVP) this season.
Jokic, who has played in 76 games and averaged 26.4 points, 12.4 rebounds, and 9.0 assists, has been ranked first among MVP candidates announced by the NBA for the past 9 consecutive weeks.
In addition, he played very well in the ‘No. 1 match in the West’ that day, taking one step closer to becoming MVP.
Since the MVP is determined by media voting, the ranking selected by the secretariat is not effective. However, as it is compiled every week by a credible organization, it serves as sufficient ‘reference data’.
Jokic, who won two consecutive MVP awards in the 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 seasons, is expected to be recorded in NBA history as a three-time winner.
In the NBA, which was launched in 1946, there are only a handful of people who have won MVP more than three times. 토토사이트 추천
