Ranked with the Nuggets for the NBA Western Conference Finals, Jokic designed a decision against Warriors or Lakers; see details
Jokic is one of the big names in the playoffs of NBA. The ace of Nuggets placed the team in the western conference finals and waits for lakers It is Warriors to be able to fight for the title so desired by the Denver franchise. Last Thursday night, the 11th, there was a lot of partying for Nikola, but of concentration for the decision to come and the feeling is of revenge.
In the 125-100 victory, away from home, Jokic was the scorer of the game and managed to finish off 32 points, in addition to giving 12 assists and ten rebounds. During the NBA playoffs, he was the main name of the Denver franchise and did everything to take his team to another western conference final. With Lakers and Warriors ahead, Nikola wants to change recent history.
“I hope it’s different. “We lost (last time). We were on the bubble against the Lakers, does that make any sense (from how unusual that experience was)? We got hurt against Golden State (last year). It’s not the finals, but I’m just talking about the teams we lost to. So we have a good opportunity to do something,” he said during a press conference.
The trauma against the Lakers and Warriors is huge. In front of Los Angeles rivals, in the NBA bubble, in 2020, Jokic saw his team run over by LeBron James and lose the title. Last season, Golden State gave Denver no chance and relied on the brilliance of Stephen Curry to qualify. Therefore, Nikola sees this 2022/23 final as the ideal opportunity to change the course of history.
In fact, Jokic can find out who his rival will be in the western conference decision this Friday, the 12th, from 11 pm (Brasília time), at the Crypto.com Arena. That’s because, the Lakers will host the Warriors and have a chance to confirm their spot in the final. The aggregate score is 3-2 and game six between the teams will determine the course of the 2022/23 season.
