‘Mocked’ Miami defence…no one can stop Jokic

The Miami Heat are a defensive team. In the short term, the team with the strongest defence has an absolute advantage.

Miami’s success as the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference is due to their solid defence, with Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo in particular being the heart of their defence.

However, their defence is becoming ‘irrelevant’ in front of Nikola Jokic of the Denver Nuggets. It was evident in Game 1 of the NBA Finals.메이저놀이터

Adebayo was completely unable to stop Jokic, who is five centimetres taller and outweighs him by 13 kilos. Fouls were his only recourse.

What makes Jokic so scary is that he’s not only a dominant force under the basket, but he’s also a master at assisting. That’s why Denver doesn’t just rely on Jokic to score. His passes are unstoppable for the Miami defence.

As such, Miami will need all five players to be effective at stopping Jokic.
