The Denver Nuggets have finished the 2023-24 regular season as the 2nd seed in
the Western Conference. Denver will face the Los Angeles Lakers or New
Orleans Pelicans in the first round of the playoffs, so they cannot yet
prepare for one single opponent. Los Angeles and New Orleans will face off in
the 7th vs. 8th seed play-in tournament game, and the winner will play Denver.
丹佛金块以西区第二种子的身份结束2023-24赛季的正规赛，他们将在季后赛第一轮面对
洛杉矶湖人或纽奥良鹈鹕，所以他们还没为了真正的对手做好准备。湖人和鹈鹕将在七、
八名附加赛中对决，胜者将出战丹佛金块。
Speaking on the broadcast following Denver's season finale victory over the
Memphis Grizzlies, Nikola Jokic expressed a level of excitement for some time
off in between now and the opening round, saying, "I'm excited to head home.
We just opened a pool yesterday or two days ago, so I'm excited to spend a
couple days with my daughter at the pool. For me, that's exciting right now."
在丹佛金块于收官战打赢曼菲斯灰熊后，Nikola Jokic在电视转播上谈话，提到从现在到
第一轮开始前的这段时间有多么兴奋，他说：“我很高兴能回家了。我们昨天还前天弄好
了游泳池，所以我很开心可以和我女儿在游泳池度过几天时光。对我来说，现在就很兴奋
了。”
On having some rest time, Jokic said, "It's gonna help. Just to heal up, maybe
get - you want to play again just to get joy back. The Playoffs is coming, so
the fun part starts."
在这一咪咪的休息时间，Jokic说：“这在痊愈身心来讲，这很有用。应该说是...想要重
新回到赛场时能找回乐趣。季后赛要来了，有趣的桥段开始了。”
The Nuggets are hoping to repeat as champions, and certainly feel they have
what it takes to do so. With Jokic leading the way, Denver will be a tough out
for anybody. Favored many places to win it all again, the Nuggets are trying
to become back-to-back champions after their first title last year.
金块希望能够卫冕冠军，当然他们觉得他们也能做得到。在Jokic的带领之下，丹佛金块对
其他队伍来说，将是很大的阻碍。在多方人士相当看好的情况下，金块试着在去年获得首
冠后，再一次蝉联冠军宝座。
