Dream Chasing: Jokic has nothing to do with softness. He evolved from a crossbow substitute. I enjoyed defending him.

During his trip to China, Zhu Meng was interviewed by media person @Telfair Tong and praised Jokic very much.

Telfair: Usually, players who like passing and like to shoot outside the three-point line are considered "soft", but he (Jokic) has nothing to do with "soft".

Dream Chasing: One thousand percent are correct. A big criticism of such players has always been that they are too "soft", but Jokic is the exact opposite. He takes the initiative to seek confrontation every round, and he can create fouls very smartly. Once he finds a chance to fight, he will make you look like you are actively contacting and exerting force. This is really an extremely difficult opponent to defend against.

And the thing I enjoyed most about defending Jokic is that he is not like this as soon as he entered the NBA. When he entered the league, I remember that he was the 47th pick (actually 41st pick). At that time, he was still a substitute for Nurkic, but he insisted on training hard and eventually grew into a player at this level. It was incredible.

Nurkic was the first round pick at the time, and Jokic was selected at the end of the second round, but he grew up to be a player of this level. I think he has already won 3 or 4 MVPs (Telfair children’s reminder is three)? It's really incredible.
