Jokic is the core of the Nuggets' inside line. He has a high ball game, is skilled in all kinds of scoring, passing and rebounding. It is difficult for the opponent to defend him! This season, Jokic averaged 36.7 minutes per game, scoring 29.6 points, 12.7 rebounds, 10.2 assists, 1.8 steals, 0.6 blocks, and a gorgeous triple-double! The shooting percentage is 57.6% and the free throw percentage is 80%. Judging from the data alone, you can tell how comprehensive he is. The opponent needs to limit his score, and he can pass the ball out in time. He has a very broad vision and can quickly read the opponent's defensive flaws, send out wonderful passes to assist his teammates, and sort out the team's offense in an orderly manner! The ball he passed was so just right, the ball came, and even led the person away. Jokic averaged 10.2 assists per game this season, ranking second in the league! His assist rate is 39.8%, ranking fourth in the league.

If you want to focus on limiting his passes and not allowing him to lead his teammates, then he can defeat you with his personal offense. He has strong scoring ability, averaging 19.5 shots, hit 11.2 goals, and averaging 29.6 points, ranking third in the league. His offensive efficiency this season is 125.6, ranking first in the league!

Jokic averaged 16.8 points per game this season, ranking second in the league; if you want to defend his score and push him out of the three-second zone, he is not afraid, he can also punish your defense with three-pointers and mid-range. Teacher Yon is not a big guy who can only eat cakes at the basket or only be hard-chipping at the basket. His offensive skills are very comprehensive and delicate. He can shoot three-pointers from the outside. He averages 4.7 three-pointers per game, hits 2 goals, and has a three-point shooting percentage of up to 41.7%. His three-point shooting percentage ranks 18th in the league. His three-point shooting is both quantity and quality! And he doesn't only know how to get at the basket and three-pointers, and his shooting percentage is also very high when shooting from mid to long distances.

He can attack with the ball himself! When a big center who is 2.11 meters tall and weighs 128KG can dribble skillfully, has a very good rhythm, and can do various shooting fake moves, and can play back singles, it will be difficult for him to be restricted. The defender came to defend him, and Jokic could use his back-to-body skills to push the defender to the basket. He had an absolute advantage in tonnage and height. He was skillful in possession of the ball and it was difficult to steal from him. If the big center was allowed to defend him, the big center would easily be lit up by his fake moves and lost its center and lost its defensive position. When he accelerated, it would be difficult for the opponent's center to keep up with him.

How should the Clippers defend against him, do they need to double-team, or let Zubac defend alone? This is a problem!

Zubac actually works well when defending Jokic. Zubac has a height and tonnage, and it is not easy for Jokic to play him on his back. In the past two seasons, when facing Zubac's defense, Jokic made only 28 of 73 shots in his sports game, with a shooting percentage of 38.3%, the worst among all players. I hope Zubac will continue this defensive performance this year.

Of course, I believe Jokic's ability to adjust, and he can quickly think of a way to deal with the Clippers' defense.

And if the Clippers want to win the Nuggets, Leonard's performance is crucial. His indiscriminate singles offense, unsolved mid-range shooting, key ball handling, excellent defensive ability... these are all what the team needs. Leonard can decide what height the Clippers' upper limit can finally reach!

Leonard has experienced a serious injury, his athletic ability has declined, and the stability of his offense and defense needs to be improved! This season, Leonard averaged 31.9 minutes per game, made 16.8 shots, hit 8.4 goals, scored 21.5 points, 5.9 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.5 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 49.8%, a three-point shooting percentage of 41.1%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 81%. In the second half of the season, Leonard's offense and defense became better and better, helping the Clippers win.

This is not his best condition! Looking forward to Leonard getting back the game feel of the Raptors! Join hands with Harden to strive for the championship!
