Rui Hachimura Defense on Nikola Jokic 👀 

bro just copy pasted the comment

Wdym too late the score was close

HE SHOT 2 FIELD GOALS, complete overeaction

I love that the narrative is that the Lakers found something. You think the nuggets won't adjust? Lol casuals

Recipe you asss. LOL. Take that L. Share it with your family and friends. 🤣🤣🤣

In fact it is. What if you put Ayton there?

@@kurobisukou123 if ayton's there on defense it's BBQ chicken for jokic or AD.

No its rui size and strength

But you also gotta give rui props for the physicality he brings to jokic and making it as difficult as possible for him to just back him down

Your opinion suggests that any of the other Lakers could have done the same thing as Rui. Wrong!

He has always stepped up but doesn't get playing time. Ham needs to let the young guys ball and bring in energy...Reaves, Rui and Walker.

Lakers need to go big against this team. You can NOT have a 3 guard line up especially when DLo is not hitting shots. Start Rui and let Dennis run the point if Dlo struggle early on offense.

almost as impactful as Stanley Johnson

if he can hold Jokic to under 25, I'll take him out for sushi rolls

​@@veryslyfox I don't think he can unless jokic gets 17 assists again

What I wish for him is to improve on is drives. He can hold his ground on defense, but during offense he doesn't like contact and has poor finishing.

Held Jokic to a triple double

💪 and they lost….omg

@@nightingale6109 every team lose sometimes. Even if you're a good team, you can still lose. Stop acting like a good team can't lose.

He is like Tobias Harris. That kind of player. Doing their jobs and get over 20 points effortless. You can see it in his international game

@@nightingale6109 I don't think they will next game. Lakers know how to beat this team now.

Denver will not win series

best way to stop him, there Isn't* a single player on the league that can hold him by their own

@@germanrudecindo3382 and which player do you mean?

He did in that 4th quarter. Lakers still have to keep switching it up. There's no ONE solution... Jokic is too smart not to come up with a counter

@Kay A thank you.. I’m hoping the lakers come out of this series but everybody’s acting like this will be the nuggets best game. Jokic does this literally every game, the same can’t be said for his teammates. It might’ve worked for the 4Q last night but he is one of the smartest if not the smartest player in basketball. He’ll find a way to score/pass/rebound

Lakers need to go big against this team. You can NOT have a 3 guard line up especially when DLo is not hitting shots. Start Rui and let Dennis run the point if Dlo struggle early on offense.

​@@gallusro8840 unfortunately for him, the smartest player is on the other team this time. Jokic is a hell of a player, but he's both the antidote and the disease in his relationship with his team. The man can't play defense even if his life depends on it, and ultimately that's what gives the advantage to the Lakers since he has to guard the best player of the Lakers

​@@elisamuelpedraza8228 Lakers got swept and then beat in 5 this year 😂 Jokic destroyed AD and Hachimura

@@MiguelSosa-oo6ww you're totally right. I can't disagree with that. Lakers had a chance to make this a series but unfortunately Ham isn't very good making adjustments on the go

Yeah..Joker got 34-21-14 triple double 😂😂😂

@@brothabox6998 He only guarded him in the 4th dude...did you watch that quarter, or simply looking at the box score?

@@brothabox6998 stat head

​@@brothabox6998Joker only had 3 points in the 4th quarter and they came from lame free-throws

@@brothabox6998 he only had 3 points when RUi guarded him in the 4th

Well young Kawhi did just this in the playoffs, played within the offense and played amazing defense. He didn't take over until a few years later. This is great experience for him and I see so many similarities to Kawhi as well.

They better and they should . Don’t wanna go back to LA down 0-2

@Kay A who do you think Wins this series?

Andddd they got swept xD

Goofy

How so?

No , kcp and brown playing like prime MJ and the nugget having nearly 50% 3pts percentage, that's the real anomaly.,.....Lakers in 6

@@imanuelbossola6483 yea, let's ignore AD having a 40 points game, Reeves shooting above 70% and the Lakers still lost.

@@balogundave754 Let's ignore the prayer 3s thrown up by MPJ, Jokic, and Murray at the end of the shot clocks.

Nobody forgot that. Lakers in 5

still dont have answer for lebron or AD. the second half game 1 denver doesnt look that good. Had to hit long contestes to slip away

@@aMenace2S facts Bron has to be more Bully

Why bring up Howard?

You’re delusional

Exactly what the 76ers did to this man in the regular season. They put PJ Tucker on Jokic, had Embiid roam the paint, and gave Aaron Gordon (The weakest shooter) space in the corner. Spread the message.

Ham is a rookie coach btw

@@_ripVanWinkle_ yeah it shows

@@gmgmoney2643 yeah, first season with the team and he's in the wcq, "it shows" 🤓

@@omegledailydosage with lebron and ad with also rob making key trades to save the lakers season bc before that trade deadline the lakers was horrible and ham was one of the reasons for that if you’re gonna talk ball with me plz know what you’re talking about

@@gmgmoney2643 dang nice essay you chump

It seems pretty smart what they are doing. Having AD on Jokic takes away from his interior defence. He blots out everything in and around the paint if you let him roam. If he is defending Jokic he has stay glued to him.

You should try watching more recent ball and you would realize the game is much different now.

back then big men couldn't shoot the 3 or pass. you understand having AD on jokic is exactly what nuggets want right. Jokic is an excellent 3 point shooter he will draw AD away from the basket which open up the lane for the rest of the nugget teams to drive in once they get jokic's pass and jokic is one of the best at that. how did you think the lakers won last 2 series - AD denying any type of attack near the rim from the entire opposing team.

@@omnivorous65 I agree and think its why they should let a back up C like TT or Bamba play 6-10 mins a night to help AD get some rest of Jokic

@@artofmartialcinemaamc5334 Bamba is injured hence this should be the tipping point for this series. Lakers need to get another reliable big like mcgee or bring back howard from taiwan. I actually see them winning next season after Lebron get his foot surgery.

4-0

The lakers last 5 loses have all been when they shot less than double the amount of ft’s as the opposing team

@@srtghost5071 Why did they lose? Yall gonna have AD under the basket whole game? Leave Nuggets 3pt shooters wide open? Thats yall plan?

@@cramax4871 Denver was outscored 72-60 in the second half. Jokic started to struggle after this really late adjustment by Ham. Obviously, Denver can adjust too, but nothing is certain, now. We’ll have to see how Jokic adjusts to this scheme.

@@M.L.official I’m aware. Nuggets were amazing.

Lol

Nuggets arent dumb bro they will come with a counter

lol the lakers fantasy tears are hilarious. Davis will be pulled away from the paint and I wish you're dumb enough to put hachimura on jokic for 48 minutes.

Im worried about hisphysical fitness，we also need he scores points……

LOL!! The Nuggets start 5 dudes who shoot the three better than anyone on the Lakers. 4 of the Nuggets starters shoot over 40%... So yeah, keep Davis locked in the post, and watch a 4 game sweep. 🤡

I don't think Bamba can play, I haven't read up on it but thats what I heard

Mo bomba had a high ankle sprain so he can’t stay in front of his defenders, and he’s already slow on his feet

Both Bamba and Thompson would get absolutely murdered by Jokic do you really think they can defend on him?

@@448music i dont mean to completely stop him, but to defend him just enough for Davis to become a help defender.

That’s what she said

Denver will win game 2...

lakers also got a lot of help from the refs, they had like 11 consecutive ft

@@be4unvme did you not see the calls Jokic got for flopping every time someone touched him? The calls were even so stop it.

@tommy516 they might, they would only be protecting home court but what if they lose? AD did drop 40 on them.

@@anthonypierre2094 it’s not good for the Nuggets if they lose. Winning in LA is gonna be tough but I think if Denver loses game 2, they win game 4 and 5….and 7! The Lakers are the Lakers but people Not in Denver don’t know the history, it goes back further than “The Bubble”…and, Ham was a Nugget…that they traded…

LOL

lmao

Lol

They really just couldn't play him last series. It was a bad matchup, trying to chase the warriors around screens is not his strength. His a strong/long defender, pause, who is better on ball as you see here. So his impact is felt/needed in a series where the opposing team has bigger players: Jokic, MPJ.

this channel is a laker faboi channel

Laker fans seem to think that's the answer..😅😅😂😅😂😅😂😂😅 Jokic is UNSTOPPABLE!!!

Dominated? And won by a small margin! That’s says more about the lakers then Denver

well the lakers almost came back and won

Don't pay attention to those bots bro they finna be humbled quick

You don’t dominate a game if you won by 6 lol, Lakers win by 40 pts vs Grizzlies in game 6 is domination, Nuggets win by 25 vs Suns in game 6 is domination, but not this game, i could see the fear on Aaron Gordon face when the Lakers came back 3pts behind

LOL ahahashahah u wish xD

no disrespect to Hachi cause thats great Defense but Jokic still dropped a Triple Dub on 34 points, Jokic will find a way. still gonna be a tough ass series though. Id say Nuggs in 6 though

Jokic just put up a triple double on y’all and yet we need the luck? Lol

@@FrancoF6 hello🤡

“..kinda special” is an understatement. I’ve never seen a player do what he’s doing right now. I also love Rui. But yeah, everyone here acting like Lakers are the only team watching film and going to adapt.

Jokic . Chose to take Rui in the Post vs making a play happen ... there were shooter all around him . For some reason. Maybe being up 20 thought he could just take rau inside ... won't happen next game .. jokic will make the right pass out of the post .

Now Denver has got to get the switch to get Jokic on Lebron ... lebron can't guard jokic and if he does should be in foul trouble ... same way Lebron did Murray

lmao this aged real well

Yeah, that's adorable. The only person in foul trouble this game is Jokic and Murray. And if Hachimura is out, Lebron will defend the Choker Joker. Keep it real, homie. You got exposed.

Ad comes to help..no reason rui in foul trouble

@@markarmage3776 Are you high? Nikola Jokic had 37 points on 17 fields goals, you really think Hachuma is going to stop him?

@@jallison5457 Yes, Hachimura did stop him. You see how Choker Joker scored zero points when his team blew a 15 points lead in the fourth? Adjustments have been made pal, can't keep living in the past.

@@jallison5457 Nobody can slow a GOAT level offensive player like Joker or Curry, but you can slow them down and that’s exactly what they did in the 4th quarter, the Sixers also did it in the regular season with PJ tucker, look at the thinking basketball video « Jokic stopper » Ben Taylor talk about that in this video

Its only game 1 lol and they already figured who it's going to guard Jokic

@@bcmigue100 yea cause Jokic cant adjust 🤡. This is q4, Jokic was gassed. Do you really think Rui can do anything to a fresh Joker? If Hamm starts Rui on Joker next game, he’ll get bullied lmfao

just game 1 on the road

​@@bcmigue100 "figured out" how to guard Jokic 😂😂😂 Like he doesn't have genius level basketball IQ and know how to adjust.

@@bcmigue100 this aged like milk lmao

No ones stopping Jokic, his bad game would look like 20pts-ish. But making him work more is important for the Lakers so this is good for them.

rui didnt guard him until 4th and that fueled an almost comeback

Because Jokic had that in the first 3 quarters when AD guarded him. Rui clamped him in the 4th he only scored 3 points

Cause he held him to zero points in the fourth in till free throws

You clearly didn't watch the game

You are a casual who didnt watch the game. He got shut down in the 4th

@@IdkMan-bh6mo he not wrong tho, he just stated facts to your face.

​@@IdkMan-bh6mou know that joker has a 90% win rate when he shoots under 10 shots. Not shooting a lot doesn't stop him

@@MindfulAttraction2.0he had tos and sold a lot

Rui only started guarding him in the 4th, and Jokic didn’t score a single field goal. Just say you didn’t watch the game buddy 😂

And Rui is not afraid to get in Joker’s face for easy jumper cuz he knows his teammate is there to help when joker choose to drive

vando is so limited offensively that its not worth it. plus his defense is overrated
