In the new season, Zeng Xingyang will wear jersey number 8, and Jokic will wear jersey number 15.
After showcasing their respective jersey numbers for the season to the reporters, the two sat down for an interview.
"Nikola, the number 15 was previously Carmelo Anthony's number. Did you choose this number to declare that you will become the Nuggets' star player?" The first question from the reporter directly targeted Nikola Jokic and was quite sharp.
Jokic showed a pure and puzzled expression, scratched his head, and said, "When I played on the national youth team, I was particularly overweight, and the only jersey size that fit me was number 15, so I carried it over to the club. It doesn't have any special meaning."
Zeng Xingyang wasn't surprised by Jokic's answer. During the championship celebration, he gave the spotlight to teammates, quietly walking to the corner himself; Jokic is someone who is humble and low-key, not one to fight for attention.
