Basketball

In the regret of ending the second round of the playoffs for two consecutive seasons, the core of the Nuggets Nikola Jokic showed extraordinary leadership and competitive strength. In this year's playoff journey, he averaged 40.2 minutes per game, contributing 26.2 points, 12.7 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and 3.9 turnovers, with his shooting percentage and three-point shooting percentages of 48.9% and 38% respectively.

Although it has a slight decline compared to the regular season average of 29.6 points, 12.7 rebounds, 10.2 assists, 1.8 steals, 3.3 turnovers, 57.6% shooting percentage and 41.7% three-point shooting percentage, this is mainly due to the tight defense of the Thunder, which is the first defensive efficiency in the league in the second round of the playoffs.

In that round of the series, Jokic's shooting feel fluctuated under the crazy encirclement of the Thunder, shooting less than 40% from the field in three of seven games. However, he still leads the team with comprehensive data averaged 28.4 points, 13.9 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 1.7 steals and 0.9 blocks, with the highest number of the Nuggets in all five statistics. Jokic's performance is undoubtedly awe-inspiring to lead the Nuggets, who have insufficient lineup depth, to fight with the regular season champion Thunder for seven games before losing.

Now, this superstar who is only 30 years old and is at the golden age of a basketball player is qualified to sign a three-year, $212.2 million super salary for an early renewal of his contract with the Nuggets. The average salary of this contract will set an NBA record, with an annual salary of more than $70 million.

There is no doubt that as long as the Nuggets management remains sane, they will inevitably try to lock in Jokic with the greatest sincerity. Despite previous rumors about Jokic's possible departure, we have not seen any clear signs of his intention to leave the team so far. After being eliminated, he may express some dissatisfaction with the team's current lineup depth, but he hopes that the team can make targeted reinforcements to compete for the championship.

Therefore, we have reason to expect the Nuggets and Jokic to successfully reach this three-year, $212.2 million early contract renewal. For those teams that salivate Jokic, they may have to sigh and end up with a tragic ending of "no house to lick the dog".

It is worth mentioning that when talking about the planning for this summer, Jokic said that he may represent the Serbian men's basketball team in the European Championship. In the FIBA ​​arena, Jokic is also a super killer. In the last European Championship, he averaged 21.7 points, 10 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of up to 66%. This undoubtedly further proves his all-round strength and leadership style. It is reported that Jokic has always had great enthusiasm and dedication to the two top events of the Olympics and European Championships, and is always happy to participate. However, he did not seem to have shown an equally enthusiastic attitude towards the World Cup, an equally important international event, and he seemed relatively cold.
