Translation: Nikola Jokić:"I saw, i saw and im thankful. Of course it means a lot to me where peobably whole of Belgrade(Serbian capital) saw it and im again thankful for that. When it comes to our game we have played much more aggressively and smartly then in other game and we didn't lose much of the ball also our shooting was very good... Collectively we had an amazing performance" I didn't translate word for word but this was approximately what he said... And idk what the journalist asked him... Probably how the game went and how does hw feel that whole Serbia is cheering for him... Something in those lines probably, the video started with journalist saying Serbia is happy

@stormy4812 Ай бұрын

I'm sure some of that is simply being tired and having to translate once into Serbian and then back into English quickly in his mind to be able to answer - that's way more tiring than most people think. It probably is nice for him now and again to be able to just speak in Serbian.

In Djokovic's case....i think it's a completely different realm of domination. I mean, in their prime, Federer was basically legendary, Nadal was in a nutshell, the "Kratos" of the French Open. And yet Djokovic surpassed them. (Then again, both had big health issues, and Roger was too old)...Still, Djoko's run has been absurd.

Geography has nothing to do in that case as Jokic is serbian, all others are not, Djokovic is some world citizen something like that, and we serbians are different from the rest in the Balkans, the most important thing among us is that we are diametrally different, the eay we look and live lives.

Murray still needs to improve . He still plays 50-50: one offensive play he gets points, another he throws bricks.. One he enters the paint easily, The next 2 offensive plays fails miserably a floater a couple of inches from the rim. Jokic improve a lot. You saw him actually playing and running right? Thats what he needed to do. Not being so passive, instead run a bit the transition and disrupt the offense by moving.. if nuggets offense is slow; Twolves will have an easy way to defend. Thats why nuggets need to xonstantly move. Even jokic had several steal . Hope they can play like this on whats left from the series.. If they slow the pace; the WOLF will get you

@GiornoJJBA Ай бұрын

Yeah, I know right? The Wolves can only play their defense when they don't call reaching and hand checking fouls. This "great defense" has been overlooked because the refs let them. Refs need to stop favoriting the Wolves and go both sides!

@rodleyeriffe9149 Ай бұрын

First intelligent comments on this press conference. Nobody says it was the refs in 1 and 2. I 've been watching BB since there was an ABA. First time Murry has shown enough frustration to interrupt a game. He's been overlooked as an all star nothing... crickets, but game 2 was ridiculous. The refs allowed the Wolves to mug, maul, amd maim on D.
