“I will be remembered as one of the players who dominated the league.” Nicola Jokic (Denver) praised Joel Embiid (Philadelphia), who is competing for MVP.
The Denver Nuggets won 116-111 in the 2022-2023 NBA regular league home game against the Philadelphia 76ers held at the Denver Ball Arena in Colorado, USA on the 28th (Korean time).
The match on this day attracted attention with the confrontation between Yokichi and Embiid, who are competing for the first place in the strong MVP candidate, but the matchup failed as Embiid took a break due to calf pain.
They are in a fierce competition for MVP. Jokic averaged 24.9 points, 11.9 rebounds and 9.9 assists. He is challenging for an average triple-double and is aiming for MVP for the fourth consecutive season in NBA history. Denver is also running for first place in the Western Conference, which is a plus factor.
Embiid also showed off a terrifying momentum. He is averaging 33.3 points, 10.2 rebounds and 4.2 assists, and is aiming for his first MVP award. Philadelphia’s performance is also maintaining 3rd place in the Eastern Conference after overcoming sluggishness in the early stages.
In this situation, for Embiid, it was a game that could be regrettable because it was the last match against Jokic in the regular season. This is because his competitor Jokic recorded a triple-double with 25 points, 17 rebounds and 12 assists, leading the team to victory. I had to look at the performance of my competitor in a situation where I could give an impact.
On the other hand, Yokichi had a significant impact considering the situation of the local media, who recently picked Embiid as the number one MVP candidate. At the same time, Yokichi, who poured out praises for Embiid, drew attention by even respecning his competitor’s performance.
In an interview with local media ‘ESPN’, Jokic said,온라인카지노 “Embiid is a really great player. He will be remembered as one of the players who dominated the league. He was like watching a beast,” he praised.
“He has a lot of variety in how he scores on the court. Post-up, face-up, and 3-point shooting are possible. The defense can also be digested in various ways depending on the situation.”
