On January 15, Beijing time, the Lone Ranger defeated the Grizzlies 112-85 to end the opponent's 11-game winning streak. The Grizzlies only withstood the first half of the game, and after the half, the Grizzlies led by five points, and the third quarter lone ranger 34-18 a wave to open the point difference, and the final quarter directly took 28-12 away the game. The Grizzlies are back-to-back for the second time, and they've played 12 games + 4 back-to-back games in the last 19 days, so it's not realistic for the Grizzlies to keep winning streaks going.
This background also set the stage for Luka Doncic's record night, doncic was outstanding, 12 of 22 in the game, 6 of 0 three-pointers, 27 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists, shooting 54.5%, 12 of 16 from the field, 4 of 6 from the basket, and various mid-range and back-to-back singles that made the Grizzlies unstoppable.
Doncic also set a number of records in this game: 1. Won the 40th career triple-double; 2. Helped the team end the opponent's ninth consecutive win streak of more than 10+, of which 8 were on the road, only once at home, and the 18-game winning streak between the 19-20 away games is still fresh in memory.
3. The Lone Rangers have had 80 triple-doubles in history, with Doncic alone having scored 40+ and the rest of the group 40 times.
4. Doncic finished second-fastest in 226 triple-doubles in 226 games, with The fastest being Oscar Robertson in 92.
Doncic's stats this season may not have exploded like last season, but the Lone Rangers have won seven of their last eight games and Doncic has won five of his six games. The Lone Rangers' best 8 games average of 93.9 points per game, which means that the Lone Rangers have changed from an offensive team to an offensive and defensive team, and acting coach Sean Sweeney during Kidd's absence is really good.
The biggest topic around Doncic this season is "Fa Fu", after ESPN reporter Tim McMahon reported that the previous two seasons of Doncic went to the training camp to report on the weight of more than 260 pounds (about 236 pounds), so his body is significantly larger, the double chin is particularly obvious, but also because of the weight problem Doncic has been absent from injuries many times this season, and the weight has increased the burden on his knees and ankles.
But as the season progresses, Doncic's figure seems to be recovering little by little, and his dominance has not declined too much, and Doncic is still unstoppable.
