On October 26, the NBA regular season continued, and the Denver Nuggets faced the challenge of the Phoenix Suns at home. After four quarters of fierce competition, the Nuggets finally defeated the Suns 133-111, ushering in their first victory of the new season. The core of the team, Nikola Jokic, once again showed MVP-level dominance. He played 32 minutes and 2 seconds in the game, made 5 of 8 shots, 4 of 4 free throws, and contributed a triple-double of 14 points, 14 rebounds, 15 assists, and 3 steals, helping the Nuggets achieve a hearty victory at home.

It is worth mentioning that Jokic has contributed consecutive triple-doubles in the first two games of the new season. This is the 166th triple-double in his career, and the 69th time he has achieved a triple-double in just three quarters. Such a performance not only demonstrated Jokic's comprehensiveness and dominance, but also allowed people to see his strength and value as the league's top superstar.

Looking back at the Nuggets' first game of the season, Jokic's offensive state was not ideal, and he only made 2 of 11 shots in the game. Eventually, the team lost to the Warriors in overtime, and Gordon's career 50-point night also ended in failure. In this game, the Nuggets ushered in their first home show of the season. Jokic obviously hopes to regain his form and help the team achieve their first victory of the new season.

After the start of the first quarter, Jokic showed excellent form and passing vision. As soon as he came up, he assisted Cameron Johnson to hit a three-pointer, giving the Nuggets their first sports goal. Throughout the first quarter of the game, Jokic frequently provided support in the high post to create scoring space for his teammates. The Nuggets' first five goals all came from his assists, successfully seizing the initiative on the court.

However, the Suns took advantage of the gap when the Nuggets replaced Jokic and Murray, and successfully narrowed the point difference under the leadership of Booker. At the critical moment, Murray returned and hit a buzzer-beating three-pointer from the backcourt to stop the Nuggets' losses in time. At the end of the first quarter, the Nuggets led the Suns by 6 points. Although Jokic did not take a shot in this quarter, he sent out comprehensive data of 3 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals, showing his value on the organizational and defensive ends.

In the second quarter, Murray's strong offensive performance helped the Nuggets gain a double-digit lead. Jokic returned to the court with 7 minutes and 33 seconds left in this quarter. As soon as he came on the court, he sent a pass to Watson, helping the latter complete a 2+1 offense. Subsequently, Jokic caused a foul on Iguodala, made two free throws, and scored the first score of the game.

At 2 minutes and 26 seconds into this section, Jokic's air cut to the basket was interfered by the opponent's defense. The referee ruled a ball interference penalty, and Jokic scored his first sports goal. Immediately afterwards, he and Gordon completed a wonderful cooperation. Gordon received Jokic's pass and completed a stunning 360-degree alley-oop dunk. This wonderful moment caused cheers from the Nuggets' home fans. Under the leadership of Jokic, the Nuggets achieved multiple points for all members, and Murray's three-pointer further expanded the team's lead.

At the end of the half, the Nuggets already led the Suns by 17 points. Jokic only took one shot in this quarter and scored 4 points, 7 rebounds, 11 assists and 3 steals, successfully leading the team to explode. Such a performance not only demonstrates Jokic's personal abilities, but also reflects his leadership role as the core of the team.

After changing sides and fighting again, Jokic's offensive aggressiveness increased significantly. He first hit a floating shot and then made a turnaround jumper to officially open the point difference to 20 points. Jokic became more and more courageous in this quarter, continuously sending wonderful passes to his teammates. The Suns were completely unable to restrict the Nuggets players on the defensive end and could only watch the Nuggets play wild defensive counterattacks.

With 57 seconds left in this quarter, Jokic completed a hook and scored in double figures, successfully collecting a triple-double. At the end of the three quarters, the Nuggets still led the Suns by 17 points, and Jokic also got a full rest after the start of the fourth quarter because of the team's huge lead.

However, the Suns began to exert force in the final quarter of the game, trying to close the point difference to single digits. Faced with the opponent's counterattack, the Nuggets could only replace their main players. After Jokic came on the court again, he immediately provided an air-cut assist to Brown, leading the Nuggets to an 11-0 offensive climax, once again opening the point difference to 20 points. Under the leadership of the Nuggets' main players, the team successfully withstood the Suns' counterattack pressure, not giving their opponents any chance to reverse, and finally won this big victory without any danger.

Looking at the entire game, Jokic's performance is undoubtedly the most impressive. He not only showed excellent scoring ability and passing vision on the offensive end, but also contributed 3 steals on the defensive end, showing his comprehensive competitive status. In particular, the wonderful assists he sent many times during the game not only helped the team win, but also brought visual enjoyment to the audience.

Compared with the first game of the season, Jokic's performance in this game has been significantly improved. Not only has his offensive efficiency improved, but his organizational and defensive performance has also improved. This performance undoubtedly makes Nuggets fans full of expectations for the team's new season.

For the Nuggets, this victory is not only the first victory of the new season, but also shows the team's strength and potential. Under the leadership of Jokic, the Nuggets are expected to become a strong contender in the Western Conference again in the new season. As the season progresses, I believe Jokic and the Nuggets will perform even better.

According to the schedule, the Nuggets’ next game will be an away game against the Timberwolves next Tuesday.. By then, we have reason to expect that Jokic can continue to show his outstanding form and help the team achieve more victories. In any case, Jokic's performance in this game has proven his strength and value as the league's top superstar, and has also made people full of expectations for his performance in the new season.

In general, this game not only demonstrated Jokic's personal ability, but also reflected the strength of the Nuggets as a whole. As the season progresses, I believe this team will become stronger and stronger and occupy a place in the Western Conference. Let's wait and see how Jokic and the Nuggets perform in the next games.
