Jokic missed 3 consecutive regular MVPs
Laugh at the end as the leading role in winning the team
The Denver Nuggets of the National Basketball Association (NBA) defeated the Miami Heat to become champions for the first time in 56 years. Ace Nikola Jokic was named Finals Most Valuable Player (MVP).
Denver defeated Miami 94-89 in Game 5 of the 2022-2023 NBA Championship Game held at Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado, USA on the 13th. With a record of 4 wins and 1 loss in the series, Denver became the NBA champion 56 years following its founding in 1967. Founded as a team belonging to the American Basketball Association (ABA) and competing in the NBA since 1976, Denver advanced to the championship game for the first time this season and even won the championship.
Jokic, who took the lead in the reversal in the second half of the game by recording 28 points and 16 rebounds on the day, performed outstandingly with an average of 30.2 points, 14 rebounds and 7.2 assists in 5 games, and was unanimously selected as the MVP by 11 voters.
Miami, which came up with a ‘storm of the 8th seed’, postponed its fourth championship in its career to the next opportunity.
In the first half, Jokic only scored 9 points, and Denver, who trailed 44-51, began chasing from the 3rd quarter and narrowed the score gap. Denver took the lead with Yokichi’s hook shot at the start of the fourth quarter, trailing 70-71, and Jeomalmori’s 3 points (14 points, 8 rebounds) continued to widen the gap.
Miami did not back down from the brink either. Ace Jimmy Butler (21 points) scored and the game unfolded. At the end of the fourth quarter, a seesaw game with a one-point difference was held for a while. However, Butler’s decisive mistake decided the game. 27 seconds before the end of the game, with Denver leading 90-89, Butler, who dug under the goal, was intercepted by Kentavius Caldwell Pope (11 points) while passing to avoid Jokic’s defense. Miami hurriedly cut it off with a foul, and Caldwell Pope made two free throws to make it three points. Afterwards, Bruce Brown (10 points) finished the game with two free throws while Butler and Kyle Lowry’s 3-pointers (12 points) turned away.
Jokic, who won the regular league MVP for the 2020-2021 season and the 2021-2022 season in a row, did not receive this award this season because he was pushed by Joel Embiid (Philadelphia), but he laughed at the end by winning the first championship in his life. .
In an interview following winning the championship, Jokichi said, “It’s good. The job is over. Now I can go home,” he said calmly.
