Original title: Sad reminder!Doncic scored 35 points and then cut two more ares-level outputs, it is difficult to find a victory
On May 5th, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA playoffs continued. The Phoenix Suns ushered in the second game of the semifinals once morest the Dallas Mavericks at home. After the whole game, the Suns defeated the Mavericks 129-109, with a total score of 2-0.
On the Lone Ranger side, Doncic scored 35 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists.
In the first game of the series, Doncic scored 45 points, 12 rebounds and 8 assists. His personal data is undoubtedly epic.
But unfortunately, the Mavericks lost the game.
So, when it came to today’s game, Luka had no way out, he might only continue to carry the team alone, and in every game that followed, he almost had to face a similar scene.
At the beginning of the first quarter, the sun set off a climax and played a 9-0 attack wave. In the passive, it was Luka who stopped the bleeding for the Mavericks with a rollover jumper. Then, Doncic used the pass to penetrate the team’s offense, Bullock (three-pointer) and Finney Smith (layup) successively became the beneficiaries of his assists.
However, similar to G1, following that, the Suns strictly implemented a one-on-one defense strategy to cut off the connection between Doncic and his teammates once more.
In this case, Luka was forced to start the singles mode. Throughout the first quarter, he was still very efficient. He changed the way to attack and scored 14 points in a single quarter. And with Luka’s efforts, the Lone Ranger also managed to bite the score.
You know, the main defender next to Doncic is Mikal Bridges, who was nominated for the best defensive player this season. In the first round, Bridge’s defense caused Ingram great trouble.
However, unlike Yingge, Doncic knows how to use his body better and is better at confrontation, and he has more fake moves, making the attack more difficult to predict.
So, in the second quarter, when Doncic made his debut once more, he created more trouble for the Suns’ defense. During this period, he began to gradually expand the attacking area to the outside, and through smooth and gorgeous dribbling, he began to continuously gain retreats. Shooting opportunities, in the latter part of this quarter, he hit three three-pointers in a row, disrupting the Suns’ defensive pace to a certain extent.
In the halftime, the Lone Ranger turned out to be the leading party, and Doncic’s personal score of 24 points was undoubtedly due to him.
But then, the familiar script reappeared. The Suns counterattacked in the second half, especially Paul’s explosion in the final quarter, which forced the Lone Ranger into a desperate situation. In addition, because the singled out in the first half consumed too much physical strength, following changing sides, Doncic’s state inevitably declined. In the audience, Luka’s 35 points also became an empty cut once more. (Poirot)Return to Sohu, see more
