Jokic, will face more challenges in the new season!

What has the NBA's reigning champion and FMVP, Jokic, been up to during the offseason? What challenges will he face upon his return? Undoubtedly, after winning the championship last season, the entire league will certainly regard the Nuggets as the top team, and by then, both the Nuggets and Jokic will face greater challenges!

First, let's talk about the offseason. During the offseason, the FIBA Basketball World Cup was in full swing, and Serbia showcased a strong performance in this competition. As Serbia's top basketball star, Jokic might have been impressed by the national team's performance, and he announced his commitment to participate in next year's Olympic Games. Jokic has not always had a good time with the national team, so perhaps he wants to give himself and the national team another chance to prove themselves. In addition, with the Olympics next year, many big-name stars like Durant and Embiid will also be competing, and we can look forward to an intense Olympic competition.

Before participating in the Olympics, Jokic has a long season to go through. In this season, Jokic, as the reigning champion and last season's FMVP, will face more challenges. Indeed, the Nuggets are still a strong team in the new season, and with most of the championship roster intact, they are still among the favorites to win. However, they will also face unprecedented challenges. Teams they competed with last season, especially those in the Western Conference like the Lakers and the Suns, made highly targeted reinforcements during the offseason.

Both of these teams strengthened their rosters to take on Jokic's Nuggets. For example, the Suns added players with stronger physicality and better tonnage, specifically to counter Jokic. Moreover, emerging teams like the Spurs and the Rockets are unlikely to tank this season, and the performances of rookies like Cade Cunningham and Jalen Green are also worth the Nuggets' attention. So, the difficulty of defending the championship for the Nuggets in the new season will only be greater.

Placing all this pressure solely on him is really unfair.

Jokic's style of play relies less on physical training intensity and more on basketball IQ.

Jokic, to be honest, is a naturally talented basketball player.
