在推文中有不少人其实有提及Jokic的一些统合性的进阶数据其实没有想像中差
同为ESPN的Zach Lowe就提过了一个可能性(约莫一周前)

It seems like no other MVP candidate has been put under a microscope much
like Nikola Jokic has been in recent weeks. Some pundits have even wondered
whether race plays a huge part in the Denver Nuggets star’s MVP candidacy.
Amid all the noise, however, there are some legitimate concerns regarding the
merits of making Jokic only the fourth player in NBA history to win three
straight MVP awards.
其他NBA MVP候选人都没有像这几周的Nikola Jokic这样被放到显微镜下检视。有些人甚至
认为种族在Jokic的MVP候选资格上占有不小的地位。排除这些杂音，Jokic是否能成为NBA
历史上第四位MVP三连霸的球员的确有不小的疑虑。
In particular, some analysts are concerned with Jokic’s defense. As much as
the Nuggets star is able to maximize his god-given basketball IQ and quick
hands on that end of the court, his athletic limitations puts a cap on just
how much of an impact he can make on the defensive end.
更具体一点来说，有些分析师对于Jokic的防守有疑虑。这名丹佛金块的球星最大化了与生
俱来的篮球智商与快手在进攻端发挥影响力，他的体能限制了他在防守端的影响力。
In fact, Nikola Jokic is trying to compensate for some of his defensive
limitations by masquerading as a football player, which, as ESPN’s Zach Lowe
pointed out, is such a defensive cop-out.
“Jokic has 45 kicked ball violations this year. [Number two] has 17. It’s
his way of saying, ‘I just don’t feel like playing defense.’ It’s smart,
but we shouldn’t allow guys to karate kick the ball,” Lowe said in the
March 13 episode of his podcast, the Lowe Post.
It’s difficult to rag too much of Nikola Jokic’s decision to game the
system. As the old adage goes, “don’t hate the player, hate the game.”
Thus, the Nuggets big man shouldn’t catch too much flak for playing within
the rules and, in turn, conserving some energy to impact the game in some
other way.
事实上，Nikola Jokic尝试要弥补他在防守端的缺陷。而它采用的方式就是
