Jokic can still win 0 of 10 three-pointers? Because Alexander is even worse! He lost the ball with 0 overtime and 0 shots.

On May 10, the Nuggets and Thunder Series Game 3 battle started at the Nuggets' home court, with a 1:1 draw in the first two games, and the Nuggets held the home court after overtime in G3.

However, the MVP-level superstars on both sides of the game were restricted by the opponent. Alexander and Jokic were both struck, and both of them were restricted. The scores of both sides were always very close. With 3 minutes left in the fourth quarter, they were tied 97, with both sides tied 11 times and led alternately 12 times. The intensity of the game can be seen from the score. On the one hand, the defensive intensity is good, and on the other hand, these two MVP-level players do not have the feel, especially when they meet the teacher, who played the most in his career and played the playoffs.

Alexander actually didn't feel very good in this game. He made 7 of 22 shots and scored 18 points, 13 rebounds and 7 assists, and his shooting percentage was very low. He also made a key three-pointer in the fourth quarter, but he failed to make any of them. This is a player who wants to win the regular season MVP. Why is the shooting percentage so poor? It's really rare.

Because in the past, even if he didn't score goals, he still had free throws as the base plate, the playoff referee would not give you so many free throws. Moreover, at the critical moment, Alexander made many decisive moves, and he also made a shot from a mid-range shot that could not make a crazily shot, even killing the game.

Of course, on the other hand, Jokic's performance is not inferior to him, and he is also a blacksmith, making 8 of 25 shots and 0 of 10 three-pointers, which is also a critical hit miss. He has 20 points, 16 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 blocks. In fact, Jokic is still very versatile in terms of data, and is still a small-sized quasi-triple-double, but his three-pointer is really bad. This year, Jokic's three-pointer is the highest in his career. As a result, I didn't expect to score 0 of 10 in a playoff game.

One Jokic missed a three-pointer, and the other one was Alexander. The key goal was one game and one was an iron, and these two were MVP-level superstars. In fact, their teammates performed well in this game, but their performance was indeed a bit bad enough in this game. They are really the second and third leaders of Murray Gordon on both sides, and Javichet carried the team boss forward. These are also two MVPs who were under key control and were a bit out of standard.

But at the critical moment, Jokic recovered himself slightly, scored 4 points in overtime and brought one exciting assist, winning the game without any injury. Alexander is completely sleepwalking, passing the ball wildly in overtime and rushing the blame. This game is really incomprehensible. He is good at scoring, but he cannot get points at critical moments in the playoffs. It is really rare.

Even though they were the two of the best players in the league this season, Alexander failed to make an effort, and Jokic scored 4 points overtime at the critical moment, leading the team to a 2-1 lead. I have to say that in the playoffs, in addition to ensuring the bottom line of the team, the most important thing is not to think about having a whistle, and to see if the teammates around you can stand up.
