Jokic starts the tiebreak battle again, and the regular season MVP is not announced to cause doubts from fans

This year, except for the awards of the most valuable players in the NBA, the other awards have been decided, and the two players in the top two MVP list, Jokic and Alexander, are about to usher in a tiebreak battle in the second round.

According to statistics, this is the fourth time that Jokic has played a tiebreak in the semi-finals in his career. In the previous three rounds of tiebreaks, Jokic led 3-2 and was eventually reversed, and only once he fell behind 2-3 and won the final reversal.

Although the Nuggets have come back and dragged the game into tiebreak, the current Nuggets can be said to be full of wounded soldiers. Porter Jr. suffered a shoulder injury and needed to inject painkiller before playing. Aaron Gordon's thigh and hamstring are strained. His performance has a great effect on whether the Nuggets can win. Murray was attacked by influenza and it is still unknown whether he can recover before the tiebreak.

Jokic won the regular season MVP last season. This year, Alexander, the strong contender for the most valuable players, has been stabilizing Jokic with a number of votes at the end of the regular season. As of now, Alexander averaged 28.4 points, 6.2 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game, with an offensive efficiency of 102.3, and 102.3 in the league. Jokic averaged 26.7 points, 13 rebounds and 8.2 assists per game, with an offensive efficiency of 112.5, and 111.8 in defense. He ranked 62nd in the league, with 8 key games, and the league first. Compared with this, the data between the two sides is not much different.

According to the rules, all voting for each award in the regular season is closed before the playoffs begin. According to previous practices, the regular season MVP will be announced during the second round of the playoffs, and the West has reached a tiebreak in this round of the playoffs, and the award is still hidden in a hazy state.

The award has not been announced so far, which has also aroused the doubts of many fans and players. Timberwolves defender Hylander posted on Twitter and asked: Some people are also curious why the MVP has not been announced this year? "In response to this, Morant directly returned: Because the league must first see who can win this series.
