Finale NBA : «Nous, favorites ? Il n'y a pas de favourite», ballet by Nikola Jokic

“Who said we were favourites? The media?” asked Nikola Jokic, when asked how he was coping with this situation before facing Miami in the final from Thursday. And when the journalist went on to say that the predictions came from Las Vegas, temple of sports betting, the Serb replied: “Las Vegas had made us outsiders before (the play-offs). It's not correct. I think we are not the favourites. In the final, there is no favorite,” he insisted.

In his wake - Jokic averaged a triple-double (29.9 pts, 13.3 rebounds, 10.3 assists) in these play-offs - the Nuggets, seeded N.1 in the West, showed themselves to be more and more impressive and relentless in the final phase, dismissing first Minnesota (4-1) then Phoenix (4-2) before sweeping the Lakers of LeBron James (4-0) in the conference final. Qualified in extremis via the second play-off, Miami overturned everything in its path, even the forecasts in the East, by eliminating in turn the favorite Bucks of Giannis Antetokounmpo (4-1) thanks to a Jimmy Butler in a state of thanks (37 pts average in this series), the Knicks (4-2) then the Celtics, finalists last year, going to win the decisive match N.7 in Boston. The Floridians can now become the first team in history to win the title by being seeded N.8 and their fighting spirit will, no doubt, be one of the answers they will oppose to the quiet strength of Denver. .

"It will be the most difficult series of our lives, we know it and we are prepared for it," warned Jokic. The pivot of the Heat Bam Adebayo will have the difficult task of trying to limit the offensive impact of the Serb. But the "Joker" believes that this duel between adults is simplistic. “It's not Bam against me. It's Denver versus Miami. Just because I think we have a similar style of play, we get everyone involved. We like to play as a team. And that's why it will be interesting," he concluded.
