The NBA regular season ended a championship showdown at noon on November 9th Beijing time, with the Nuggets narrowly defeating the 2021-2022 NBA Finals Warriors 108-105 at home. Last season's Finals Most Valuable Player (FMVP) Jokic was in great form, scoring 35 points, 13 rebounds, 5 assists, and 3 steals.

In the 2021-2022 season, FMVP Curry's form was average, making 6 out of 17 shots and scoring 23 points and providing 4 assists.

Both teams had an incomplete lineup in this game, with the Warriors' two defensive powerhouses, Green and Petton Jr., unable to play. The Nuggets' second scorer, Murray, was sidelined due to injury. The defensive strategies of both sides were very clear, with the Nuggets fully defending Curry and not letting this top scorer's three-point shot go. Nuggets guard Popp almost followed his defense closely. Curry made 6 out of 13 shots outside the three-point line and scored all three pointers in sports. The Warriors are doing their best to reduce the connection between Jokic and his teammates, which can help him score, but cannot allow his assists to revitalize the entire team.

Since the start of this season, the star center Jokic has provided a maximum of 12 assists per game, with two assists and 11 assists. Jokic only made 5 assists this game, proving that the Warriors' defensive strategy has achieved a certain effect. But the Nuggets have a strong forward team, led by Porter and the "uncrowned king" Gordon in the slam dunk competition. They are taller and more athletic than the Warriors, and have a slight advantage throughout the game.

The role of the star becomes increasingly apparent as the strong teams face off towards the end of the game. Jokic's continuous assists help the Nuggets gain a 5-point lead, while Curry's three-point shot narrows the gap. The Warriors still struggled to defend against Joachic, who caused veteran Paul to foul. Unfortunately, due to excessive physical exertion, he missed two shots and gave the Warriors a chance. Curry failed to hit a layup that was expected to equalize the score, and the Warriors could only use foul tactics. Reggie made two free throws and made one, leaving the Warriors with a three-point gap in resentment.

Compared to the Warriors, Nuggets players are younger and have advantages in height and athletic ability. The three star guards of the Warriors, Curry, Paul, and Thompson, are all older, especially after Thompson's comeback from a major injury, his defensive ability has significantly declined, and his three-point shooting feel is also not very agile.

Yokichi often teaches various opponents, and his technical ability, basketball intelligence, rhythm control, and overall perspective are almost perfect, earning him the nickname "Yokichi". Veteran Reggie praised the Denver Nuggets star after the game, saying, "Jokic is really amazing. He makes me look like I know what to do on the field."

The core lineup of the Warriors is starting to age, and it is necessary to strengthen the cultivation of fresh blood. Although losing the game, Thompson affirmed the performance of rookies Davis and Pozemsky after the game: "Their energy, passing ability, and fighting spirit have brought a new dimension to the team, making our lineup stronger. Their performance is crucial throughout the season."
