Jokic has not seen it yet, the new player has been conquered! Nuggets new season: It s wrong to defend against the opponent

Denver Nuggets new members Cameron Johnson and Tim Hardaway Jr., both made a name for themselves in the NBA. Johnson is a stable wing shooter with high ball quotient and fast reaction, and has performed reliably for many years; Hardaway is known for his "plug and play" scoring ability on the bench, and his strength is often underestimated by the outside world. However, they have never had a three-time MVP like Nikola Jokic, and they have never even had a similar experience.

The Serbian superstar center has always been known as "making teammates outstanding". It is Jokic's selfless talent that has allowed the Nuggets to remain in the championship camp for more than five years and will remain a favorite for the championship in the future.

Even before training with this "best in the world", Johnson and Hardaway were excited to become Jokic's teammate.

In the latest podcast of The Young Man and the Three, host Tommy Alter invited the two to visit. When asked what they most look forward to fighting side by side with "Joker" (Jokic's nickname), the two of them had no time to say some technical details or insights, and as soon as they heard "can be in the same team with Jokic", they immediately smiled particularly brightly.

It is no exaggeration to say that this scene has told you everything: when building a team, if you want Jokic to fully release his talent, the key is to equip him with a reliable outside shooter.

On the one hand, excellent shooters will certainly find open positions when running, but Jokic's "game gravity" and natural passing vision can always send the ball to a position they can't even imagine. This makes Jokic almost impossible to defend - the opponent either cares about his shooter and lets him play in the penalty area or doubles him, but gives his shooters an open chance. In this case, the defense can't get any good at anything.

Johnson and Hardaway obviously meet such conditions. After becoming Jokic's teammates, they may discover for the first time in their careers that playing for a championship-level team can be so easy.
