"Jokic is blessed, Jokic is blessed", this phrase has been circulating since Wei Shao came to the Nuggets, and finally became a reality at the beginning of the season.

In the opening game of a clean loss to the Thunder, Jokic had 16 points, 12 rebounds and 13 assists, and only made 13 shots, which is still very "Jokic"-style statistics, but he seems to have found that the previous way of winning is not working.

In another loss to the Clippers today, Jokic had 41 points, 9 rebounds and only 4 assists, shooting 14-of-26 from the field and 7-of-12 from three-point range. Game 1 and Jokic and Game 2 were completely two forms, but the result was the same.

Seven three-pointers have set a new career high for Jokic, and in the second game of Willis' arrival, Jokic broke through himself. The rest of the Nuggets combined for seven three-pointers today, which is comparable to Jokic's contribution alone.

In today's game, Jokic is the Nuggets' scoring champion, rebounding king, and although he has one less assist than Murray, he actually passed the ball all over the court, and he even had two steals and a block, with the highest plus/minus on the team. A person in the true sense of the word is a team, and just like that, he almost won the Clippers.

If the Clippers hadn't had Powell's 22-point explosion in the final quarter, the ball would have really won for Jokic. Powell also scored 7 three-pointers and scored 37 points today, Jokic once soared with Powell for three points, the world is magical enough, this job should have been done by Porter or Murray.

Powell's type of nervous knife three-pointer found him rhythm with a series of scoring explosions. In the past, there were often cases where Powell felt good and suddenly couldn't receive the ball, but now as long as you can shoot, you can always receive passes from Harden.

Harden was his favorite rhythm today, with 23 points, 16 assists, and 7 turnovers. There is no problem for Malone to choose to resolutely contain Harden, but when he encounters Powell, who broke out today, he can't be 30+ per game.

When I woke up in the morning, I was shocked to see Wei Shao's stats, shooting 0 of 8 and 0 of 3 three-pointers, but Wei Shao's real performance on the court may be worse than the data. As long as Wei Shao is on the court, his defenders don't care about him at all, harassing the ball carrier (Jokic most of the time), and not completely covering it, just making you uncomfortable.

How bad the space of the Nuggets is, Jokic's 12 three-pointers are the best proof of this, imagine Jokic taking a look at the shrinking defenders on the inside, looking at his teammates with sparse three-pointers, and can only choose to shoot himself.

In the Nuggets' two games, Wei Shao scored a total of 8 points, shooting 2-of-18 from the field, 1-of-9 from three-point range, and 3-of-6 from the free-throw line, with a true shooting percentage of 19.4% and a plus/minus of -37. His style is incompatible with the Nuggets, as long as the outside line is not open, he will be a lag on the court.

So in the past two days, we have also seen overwhelming criticism and ridicule of Wei Shao on the Internet, as if we have caught a wave of ruthless traffic passwords, as if Wei Shao is the culprit of the Nuggets' loss, and the Nuggets can get better by removing Wei Shao's cancer. Wei Shao is so true that he is to blame, but is it really all Wei Shao's fault?

First of all, we have to be clear about the Nuggets' motivation for signing Wei Shao in the first place, that is, the bench is really blind. If there is no Wei Shao, the guard who is now standing in Wei Shao's position is called Pickett, and if he doesn't look at the Nuggets' ball, he may not be clear to him, which is an existence that garbage time can't understand.

Since Wei Shao played so poorly, why did he let him play for 19 minutes, probably because Malone also knew that the effect of Pickett might not be as good as Wei Shao. What about the rest of the Nuggets bench? It's Strausser, a first-round pick who didn't develop as expected, and Saric and Watson, who couldn't score a single ball.

The Nuggets have failed in the draft in the past two years, failing to replenish the team's strength, which has become the source of the problem of sparse benches. This is still a substitute who has entered the rotation, and in addition to the rotation lineup, there is still Najib, who is holding 32 million for 4 years but can't play at all.

When all your starters get the maximum salary, when you let go of Pope and put Braun, who is still able to play on the bench, in the start, your bench lineup will inevitably be worse, this is not Wei Shao's problem alone, it's just that because Wei Shao is Wei Shao, the problems of other people are covered up.

Let's not talk about the substitutes, let's talk about a few people in the starters. Murray's 14 shots and 22 points today are okay, but they can only be regarded as passing, and 4 of 13 in the opening game are still vivid, don't forget that he got 208 million in 4 years.

Gordon, who just got a 4-year 140 million contract, shot 8 of 22 in two games, 1 of 5 three-pointers, and the efficiency was not seen; Porter Jr., who held 173 million in his hands for 5 years, has never played a performance that meets his value even one season, and in the first two games of the season, he was 5 of 17 in one game, 4 of 13 in one game, and 0 of 6 in three points today.

These people should be glad that they were able to play next to Jokic and that they were getting too much money that wasn't worth their money. Now they have Wei Shao by their side, even if they play poorly, they have Wei Shao's biggest back position, and they live too comfortably.

Wei Shao is indeed a dish, and he is indeed powerless, but think about the wonderful moments that Wei Shao brought you in the past, think about the glory of Wei Shao, and be forgiving and forgiving.
