On January 4, Beijing time, the NBA regular season lone ranger won 103-89 against the Nuggets at their home court to win three consecutive wins. Previously, the Lone Ranger multi-person trigger health and safety protocol was isolated, and Doncic and others had just returned. As a result, today's Lone Ranger passed on the bad news again, and the inside core Porzingis triggered the league's health and safety agreement and missed the game. But the opponent Nuggets' life is also not good, in addition to the epidemic, injuries are also another factor affecting the Nuggets' lineup.
The first quarter began, both teams' offenses were out of shape, and the Lone Ranger led 24-20. In the second quarter, the Nuggets' entire team felt at the freezing point, and at the end of the half, the Nuggets only scored 37 points behind the Lone Rangers by 9 points. In the third quarter, the game was still very dull, and after the third quarter, the Lone Ranger led 69-63, and neither team scored more than 70. In the last quarter, although the Nuggets struggled to chase points, they could not reverse the score, and finally could only replace the main force to concede defeat.
In this game, the Nuggets only had 3 people to score in double figures, Jokic shot 11 of 18, with 27 points, 16 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals, although the personal scoring efficiency is good, but the overall downturn of the team makes him a bit difficult to stand alone. Last season, Murray was injured and reimbursed for the season, and before he returned, Porter Jr. also stopped indefinitely due to injury, and Jokic lost two players in a row, which also affected the Nuggets' record. No matter how delicate Jokic's technique is, it is difficult for a woman to cook without rice after all.
In contrast, players such as the Lone Ranger, Doncic, Hardaway Jr. and other players have just returned from isolation. In this game, Doncic shot 7-of-18 and had a quasi-triple-double of 21 points, 8 rebounds, 15 assists and 4 steals, with a plus-minus of +25 as the highest in the game. After his last game against the Thunder, Doncic said his chest was on fire during the infection, which left him tired and feeling severely underemotional. However, in this game, Doncic has not stepped out of the impact of the new crown in the slightest.
After this campaign, Doncic also became the second player to deliver 15+ assists in a single game multiple times (2 times or more) after Paul this season, and there are only two Doncic and Paul in this data, which shows that Doncic's ability to connect teams is still very strong. Doncic has averaged 8.8 assists per game this season, ranking fourth in the league.
In the top ten of the assists list, only Doncic is 2 meters tall, he has the height of a forward player, and he has the same passing skills as a defender and a ball dealer, maybe this is why the Lone Ranger has offered him a big contract! What do you think about that? Welcome to leave a comment!
