The world ‘freaks out’ in colors with Jokic for this never-before-seen pass. “It has broken my brain”

The preseason has just begun in the NBA, but the triple MVP is already lucid and sharp because he governs the game from the mind and the mind does not need any training.

Despite the defeat of the Denver Nuggets before the Utah Jazz (97-109), the Serbian center left an assist that went around the world a few times, as fast as the Joker’s precise execution was: the interior was cornered in the corner by Lauri Markkanen and it occurred to him to make a pass behind his back that crossed the entire court until he found Cameron Johnson in the opposite corner.

Aaron Gordon He was the top scorer for the 2023 champion with 12 goals and Alpha Diallo, Reigning Euroleague Best Defender, he debuted with the Nuggets with 2 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists in 13 minutes.

For their part, the Utah Jazz offered a very good impression at the beginning of a year in which much is expected of the Salt Lake City team after years of misery and inconsequentiality.

The team trained by Will Hardy He deployed a starting quintet that can fight in the tough West with Keyonte George, the number 2 in the draft Darryn Peterson, Jaren Jackson Jr., Lauri Markkanen and Jusuf Nurkic.

Markkanen was the leading scorer with 17 points followed by George’s 15 and Blake Hinson’s 14. Jackson Jr. recorded 11 and 10 from the bench, providing a sophomore from whom much is expected as Ace Bailey. But Jokic’s occurrence overshadowed everything, as if the Joker had gotten up early to present his candidacy for his fourth MVP with fireworks.
