[Sports Center/Comprehensive Report] The NBA warm-up match has begun. The Golden Nuggets will face the Jazz in the first game of the new season today. In the first warm-up match of the season, Nikola Jokic, the Nuggets' first brother, showed off his amazing pass and became the focus of today's game.
Jokic started the game against the Jazz today. He played a low single at 6 minutes and 41 seconds of the first quarter. However, he found that Cam Johnson, the shooter on the other side, had a gap. He immediately performed a superb behind-the-back pass and passed the ball to Johnson, who also made a steady shot.

This pass will trigger a topic. First of all, Jokic passed the ball from behind. Furthermore, the ball line is very long, almost spanning the bottom corners of the half court, and it also passed through three Jazz defensive players.
Coincidentally, Jokic made a similar pass to Johnson in the warm-up match last year, but Johnson failed to seize the gap at the time.
In today's game, Jokic had a small test of his skills. He only played 15 minutes and left 3 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists. In the end, the Nuggets lost 97 to 109.
Open Questions
- Will this pass become one of Jokic's signature plays of the season?
- Will Johnson be able to better grasp Jokic's passing opportunities in the future?
