A triple double in basketball is when a certain player reaches double digits in three categories, in points, rebounds and assists, and this Tuesday the European player had records that support the performance of his team so far, 34 points, 21 rebounds and 14 assists, to guide his team in a great way to achieve the first win in this series 132 to 126, which puts them in a good position for what is coming against those led by LeBron James.

The most important thing, without a doubt, are the points obtained by each player, since it is what a certain element contributes to the field individually, motivating his team to always be in the game, but there are two other categories that are just as important. As for the achievement of points, I would say that in the case of Denver it is the most important, the assists and the rebounds, why? because they don't come from a single player, they come from a group and that makes them more effective.

If we see Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon who accompanied the Serbian throughout this game, and not forgetting to mention Michael Porter and Bruce Brown, this is wonderful, since they are players who score more than 15 points per game, something that very little they can afford to say or have, because we are talking about the 5 players who start each match do this, making those of Denver very strong, because that is a guarantee, that every night at least you will have almost 100 points in the scoreboard, this is something dreamed of.

That being said, now let's try something, if you have 2 good assisters in a team like Denver and to that you add one more element like this European player, we are talking about not only having individual talent but also Also collectively, Murray and Gordon could provide you with average assists, around 12 between them, but if we add 14 more, as is the case with Jokic, we would be talking about a single player generating 34 points and 28 more through the assists, that is to say, he would be involved in situations that lead to adding more points.

Es algo así como que este jugador te genera juego ofensivo y defensivo y en gran porcentaje, por la mínima serian 28 puntos generados si sus compañeros logran encestar desde el área de los 2 puntos, y estariamos hablando de muchos mas, si partimos del punto de que sus compañeros están desde el área de los 3 puntos y logran encestar, llegaríamos a la conclusión de que no solo serian 28 si no que estaríamos observando en el resultado final de las estadísticas unos 32 o 35 puntos mas, sumando sus 34 puntos de manera personal y los 35 producto de sus asistencias, para un total de 69 puntos generados por el en diferentes facetas, esto es algo magnifico.

It is something like this player generates offensive and defensive play and in a large percentage, for the minimum it would be 28 points generated if his teammates manage to score from the 2-point area, and we would be talking about many more, if we start from the point of that his teammates are from the 3-point area and manage to score, we would come to the conclusion that there would not only be 28 but that we would be observing in the final result of the statistics some 32 or 35 more points, adding his 34 points in a way personal and the 35 product of his assists for a total of 69 points generated by him in different facets, this is something magnificent.

Se necesitara mas que a un elemento para parar a este jugador tan talentoso como lo es Nikola Jokic, Anthony Davis y los Lakers deberán trabajar mas si quieren contener lo que este jugador genera en ofensiva dentro de la cancha, un 15 de 32 desde el área de los tres puntos fue generado por Jokic gracias a sus asistencias y 36 rebotes en colectivo en la primera mitad en la cual 13 fueron ofensivos, en gran parte fueron también de el, siendo la misma cantidad que todo el resto del equipo de los Lakers, esto dice mucho, ya se vera en el juego numero 2 el dia jueves, no sera una tarea sencilla; por ahí nos seguiremos leyendo, tenemos NBA para rato y a un muy alto nivel.

It will take more than one player to stop this talented player like Nikola Jokic, Anthony Davis and the Lakers will have to work harder if they want to contain what this player generates offensively on the court, 15 of 32 from the area of the three points was generated by Jokic thanks to his assists and 36 collective rebounds in the first half in which 13 were offensive and in large part were also his, being the same amount as the rest of the Lakers team, This says a lot, it will be seen in game number 2 on Thursday, it will not be an easy task; We will continue reading there, we have the NBA for a while and at a very high level.
