On July 29th, the United States national basketball team won against Serbia by a score of 110-84 in yesterday’s Paris Olympic men’s basketball group stage game.
Today, the American media @Basketball Forever shared an image illustrating the impact of Nikola Jokic on the team when he is on or off the court:
When Jokic was on the court for 31 minutes, Serbia and the United States scored equally at 81 each.
During the 9 minutes that Jokic was not on the court, Serbia only managed to score 3 points, while the United States national basketball team scored a total of 29 points.
Yesterday, Jokic started the game and played for 31 minutes, making 8 out of 15 shots. He hit 1 three-pointer, made 3 out of 4 free throws, and scored the highest 20 points for his team, along with 5 rebounds, 8 assists, and 4 steals. His plus-minus value was 0, which was the highest among all players on his team.
Alone, it’s impossible! Nikola Jokic’s presence on the court versus his absence in Serbia’s national basketball team’s plus-minus value.
