I played for my country, with different teammates, under different rules, and that really meant a lot to me. EuroBasket is coming, and I have to make a decision about that, but first I will talk to the coaches and the most important members of the national team. We&#8217;ll see what happens, and I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ll enjoy beer in the next few days,&#8221; Joki\u0107 said in his own manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Nikola Jokic talks Game 7 Loss vs OKC, FULL Postgame Interview\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Bd09fHoIrts?start=1&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>He also pointed out that the team cannot win a new title in the current lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;This game was similar to the second game in the series. We lost the ball, we didn&#8217;t take enough shots, and they were aggressive and attacked us in transition. They made their shots. We didn&#8217;t win, so obviously we can&#8217;t go all the way. If we could, we would have won. We had our chances, but we didn&#8217;t take them. We can&#8217;t win a ring in this lineup,&#8221; Joki\u0107 added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also praised the commitment of Aaron Gordon, who played despite a hamstring injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I told him not to play, considering that he could have injured himself even more seriously. He struggled, he moved with difficulty, but he is a lion. He came out, fought with us, and we can only appreciate that,&#8221; Joki\u0107 said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He did not want to talk about the future of coach David Adelman, for whom he also had words of praise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">FIND OUT MORE IN SERBIAN:<\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fserbiantimes%2Fposts%2Fpfbid033XaPCzauTBhBrL6u94va8e7xjrnMnsr9EQRLdUuV6SqboHun36cJCTc2Amryxg6Kl&#038;show_text=true&#038;width=500\" width=\"500\" height=\"250\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture; web-share\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;He became a coach at a difficult time and had only three games to change something. I think he changed the energy and made us believe in something. We played seven good games against probably the best team in the league. We had chances, so I think he did a very good job. It&#8217;s not up to me to talk about his future,&#8221; Joki\u0107 said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the end, he stated that he was not entirely dissatisfied with the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Many said the Clippers would beat us. Except for tonight, we always found a way to win the game and the series. This time it wasn&#8217;t good, but overall for the whole season we always found a way, and that&#8217;s what I&#8217;m most proud of. As for my personal performance, I had a good season, I stayed healthy, and I&#8217;m grateful for that, but I put in a lot of effort. I know what I&#8217;m doing and what my routine is. It seems to be good for me,&#8221; Joki\u0107 concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">MORE TOPICS:<\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/bad-news-for-biden-former-president-diagnosed-with-progressive-prostate-cancer-spread-to-bones\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">BAD NEWS FOR BIDEN: Former president diagnosed with progressive prostate cancer, spread to bones!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/horror-in-arilje-abuser-beat-and-threw-his-ex-from-the-balcony-then-pushed-a-neighbor-down-the-stairs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"><strong>HORROR IN ARILJE: Abuser beat and threw his ex from the balcony, then pushed a neighbor down the stairs!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/oklahoma-dashed-denvers-dreams-jokic-and-the-nuggets-remain-without-the-western-conference-finals-defeated-in-game-7-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">OKLAHOMA DASHED DENVER\u2019S DREAMS: Joki\u0107 and the Nuggets remain without the Western Conference Finals, defeated in game 7!
