On December 29, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued fierce battle. In this game where the Nuggets beat the Rockets 124 to 111 at home, there was a 52-year-long silence, or a record that had been asleep for half a century. The Nuggets' 2.13-meter-tall center Jokic "Yao Teacher" sent as many as 18 assists in the game, becoming the first center to send 18 assists in a single game after Chamberlain in 1968. Jokic not only Comparing the great NBA predecessors, and called the Magician, he has made countless excellent point guards ashamed in organizing offensive points.
As one of the most comprehensive centers in the active NBA, "Teacher About" scored a triple-double against the Rockets. If you say 19 points and 12 rebounds are normal, then 18 assists successfully sent to help teammates score, this kind of organizational ability is amazing. In other words, half of the credit for the Nuggets' direct or indirect scoring in this game is due to Jokic. In contrast, the Rockets "big boss" James Harden's 34 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists are dwarfed. Jokic is not playing basketball, he is playing basketball, which shows his outstanding talent and superb golf quotient. This is also the 43rd triple-double of Jokic's professional basketball career, tying the Nuggets history record, and tied for 9th in the NBA history triple-double. In addition, Jokic became the third player in NBA history to score at least 70 points, 35 rebounds and 35 assists in the first three games of a season. The first two were: Oscar Robertson (1961- 62 season) and Russell Westbrook (2016-17 season).
The Rockets were holding back to win this game. Harden, who has recently been plagued by various rumors of leaving the team, played hard. His data is also very beautiful. However, the team scored too few points and concentrated on one person. Body. On the other hand, the Nuggets, because of the existence of Jokic, a super comprehensive point guard + center, he can not only score, but also made 8 of 11 shots in sports battles, including a 3-pointer (3 Only one shot outside the line), he played very efficiently, never blindly alone and unlimited fire, and his series and organization benefit all teammates.

Checking Jokic’s assists statistics, he averaged 2.4 assists per game and scored 10 points per game during his rookie season, when he entered the NBA in 2015-16. Every season since then, Jokic has continued to grow, and his statistics, including the average playing time per game, have been rising. In the last two seasons, Jokic has averaged around 20 points per game and 7 assists per game. But in terms of assists, for a center player, it is already very good. The Nuggets only played three games this season. Jokic averaged 26 points per game and his assists soared to 12. Although there are reasons for the lack of games, it is also a very impressive number, which is already a data that many team point guards cannot play. In other words, when Jokic was on the court, the Nuggets had one more point guard than other teams. No wonder Harden was so dedicated and the Rockets couldn't win.
The Serbian star born in 1995 definitely has the potential to become the most competitive star in the NBA.
