21 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists! 14 points, 14 rebounds and 15 assists! The most Buddhist MVP in the NBA is born, and he wants the championship even more

The new NBA season has just started, and the competition for MVP has already entered a fever pitch. Last season's MVP Alexander was as stable as ever. After 3 games, he averaged 40 points + 6 rebounds + 5 assists + 1.7 steals + 1.2 blocks per game. He ranked first in the league in free throws per game (14.7) and free throws made (12.3); the slimmed-down Doncic was also full of firepower. After 2 games, he averaged 46 points + 11.5 rebounds + 8.5 assists + 1 steal per game, leading the league in scoring; Bunyama also rose to prominence. After 2 games, he averaged 34.5 points + 13 rebounds + 1.5 assists + 1 steal + 6 blocks per game, leading the league in blocks. SGA, Doncic and Wenban Yama are all popular candidates for MVP, but Jokic has gone in the opposite direction and become more Buddhist. He may want the championship more than the MVP.

Jokic is only a second-round pick, but he has risen step by step and won the MVP. In the past five seasons, Jokic has won three MVPs and ranked second in the MVP selection in the other two years. In the words of fans, if it were not for aesthetic fatigue, it would not be too much for Jokic to win 5 MVPs. Especially last season, Jokic averaged a triple-double of 29.6 points + 12.7 rebounds + 10.2 assists per game but did not win the MVP. It is difficult to explain by saying "SGA is better than Harden in the 2016-17 season". But having said that, Jokic never complained. He sent a congratulatory message to SGA like he blessed the emperor back then: I am playing the best performance of my career, but SGA deserves the MVP.

In the new season, Jokic bid farewell to old teammates such as Westbrook, Porter Jr., and DeAndre Jordan, and welcomed new players such as Johnson, Bruce Brown, Hardaway Jr., and Varan, making him even more powerful. In a sense, for Jokic, this is a season of revenge. He has to work hard to win back everything he lost last season. But what's the result? Jokic is not as aggressive as SGA, Doncic, and Wenbanyama. Instead, he leads the Nuggets forward in a unique Buddhist way. He seems to be indifferent to the world and has no desires, but in fact he is calm and comfortable.

In the opening game against the Golden State Warriors, the Nuggets lost in overtime. Jokic scored a triple-double of 21 points, 13 rebounds, 10 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block. In the home opener against the Phoenix Suns, Jokic clocked out in the third quarter and took only 8 shots. He scored a triple-double of 14 points, 14 rebounds, 15 assists, and 3 steals. At the same time, Jokic broke multiple NBA records. According to statistics, Jokic is the fifth player in NBA history to have triple-doubles in the first two games of the season. The previous ones are Westbrook, Magic, Lucas and Big O. At the same time, Jokic has had 166 triple-doubles in his career, ranking third in NBA history, second only to Big O (181 times) and Westbrook (203 times).

This is Jokic in the new season. With the strength and depth of the Nuggets' lineup, he seems to have never fought such a rich battle, dominating the game in his favorite way, relaxed and comfortable. On the one hand, with the joining of Varan, Jokic has more rest time; on the other hand, Jokic is the strongest organizing center in NBA history, and he is also keen on making wedding dresses for his teammates. In the words of Nuggets coach Adelman, Jokic no longer has to play one against three. Jokic himself also made his words clear. He said bluntly: I will play more of an engine role and let teammates who get the space finish.

For Jokic, he already has 3 MVPs but only 1 championship. Compared to the MVP, he wants the championship more! Looking at it from another perspective, the Nuggets' crazy reinforcements are just to reduce Jokic's burden, and the ultimate goal is to win the championship! It is foreseeable that in the long regular season, Jokic may no longer score and rebound as he did last season, but focus on making the team system run smoothly. This may mean that Jokic will actively withdraw from the MVP battle and focus on accumulating strength for the playoffs. At the same time, Jokic may also have ancillary gains: winning more triple-doubles and moving towards Westbrook's historical triple-double king! Fans and friends, what do you think of this? Come and leave me a comment to discuss.
