而在今日，约基奇在接受采访时谈到了与湖人的再次交手，他表示：“去年和湖人的每一场季后赛都很艰难，可能是最艰难的一轮系列赛，是的，最后的比分是4-0，但他们真的很有天赋，打得很好，我非常尊重他们，我认为接下来的这轮系列赛也会很有趣。”
约基奇的这一言论也引起了球迷们的热烈讨论，球迷们纷纷表示：最艰难然后横扫？
[1]“他说得对，但伪球迷只看比赛的胜负。”
He’s right but casuals can only look at games won
[-]“我的意思是，你被横扫了，伙计，哈哈，我们还能怎么看呢🧐”
I mean, u got swept my guy lmao what else is we pose to look at 🧐
[--]“湖人在其中三场比赛中一度领先15分以上，每场比赛都是在第4节的关键时刻决出胜负。”
The point differential the fact that the lakers were up by 15+ in 3 of those game at one point the fact that every game came down to the 4th quarter crunch time
[4]“为了点击量罢了，他的整支球队都说是森林狼。”
Bait his whole team says wolves
[-]“波普说是太阳反正没人担心湖人。”
And KCP said Phoenix nobody else on that roster worried bout LA
[--]“约基奇不是球队里智商最高的吗？我相信他的话。”
Isn’t Jokic the one with the best IQ on the team… I’ll take his word over them
[7]“约基奇知道如果詹姆斯健康的话，湖人去年会赢的。”
jokic knows if lebron healthy lakers win last year
[-]“他现在很健康，所以湖人输球就没有借口了。”
He’s healthy now so no excuse for the lakers losing
[--]“他们会说他快40岁了，所以掘金当然有优势。他们总有借口。”
They’ll say he’s almost 40 so of course Denver had the advantage. Always an excuse
[10]“这是有道理的，尽管他们被横扫了，但每场比赛的比分都很接近。从来没有一场比赛是大比分取胜或轻松碾压的。”
It makes sense, even though they got swept, every game was close. Never was a game a blowout or easy
[-]“如果亚当-肖华和他的裁判没有为湖人操纵比赛的话，每场比赛都会是一场大胜。”
It would've been a blowout every game if Adam Silver and his refs aren't rigging it for the Lakers.
[--]“呃，即使他们得到了帮助，他们还是没能发挥出应有的水平。去年系列赛的判罚是一边倒的，约基奇和掘金队实在是太强了。”
Well, their boy can't deliver even with all the help they gave him. The calls were one sided on last year's series, Jokic and the Nuggets were just too good of a team.
[13]“应该是和太阳的系列赛。”
It was the Phoenix series.
[-]“不。德文-布克必须像超人一样才能在势均力敌的比赛中赢得两场艰难的胜利，而掘金在系列赛的每场胜利中都大胜。”
Not really. Devin Booker had to be basically Superman just to get the 2 wins in close games meanwhile Denver blew their backs out every other game of the series
[--]“作为一个掘金老球迷，最让我紧张的是森林狼。
今年，我想我最害怕的还是森林狼。”
As a long time Nuggets fan, the series that made me the most nervous was honestly Timberwolves.
And this year again, i think i fear the Wolves the most.
[13]“兄弟，他去年不是这么说过森林狼吗，笑死我了。”
Bro didn’t he say this about the Timberwolves last year LMAO
[-]“那是布鲁斯-布朗说的，哈哈。”
Bruce brown said that lol
[15]“现在的湖人更加强大了。”
And now the lakers are even better
[-]“哈哈。你们不会真的认为他认为自己横扫的球队是他们打的最艰难的系列赛吧？他在戏弄你们。”
Lol. You guys dont really think he thought a team they swept was their hardest series do you? He's trolling you guys
[--]“这是我们见过的最艰难的横扫。”
It was the toughest sweep we’ve ever witnessed
[18]“尽管他们被横扫了，但比赛一直很激烈，直到第4节。”
Even tho they got swept the games was mad close till the 4th
[-]“你是不是也这么说过篮网对阵凯尔特人的系列赛？当时杜兰特和欧文缺席了半年，他们被横扫了，但比赛打的很激烈，我敢打赌你肯定是那些大喊横扫的人之一，现在你想为你的球队证明这一点。”
Did you say that about the Nets vs Boston series with kd and Kyrie and Kyrie missing half the year and they got swept but oh the games were close I bet you were one of the ones screaming sweep now you wanna justify it for your team
[-]“湖人的哨让比赛在前三节保持接近。自园区以来，湖人只有一次在第四节比分接近的时候击败过掘金。”
