The Indiana Pacers, who previously played a place in the Eastern Conference with team basketball, have experienced a cliff-like decline in the overall performance of the season, the poor performance has made the team management and fans unable to see their hopes of reaching the playoffs, and many NBA celebrities in the middle of the season have also revealed that the Pacers have decided to completely tear down the rebuild, and many players in the trade rumors also hope to rely on their excellent performance and get the opportunity to join a stronger team. Strive to be able to taste the taste of the championship in their career, and Sabonis Jr., the core of the team's attack, is one of them, but basketball is a team project after all, a team without cohesion, it is difficult to rely on the performance of one person to win the final victory! In this regular season, the Pacers encountered doncic-led lone rangers, this time Sabonis Jr. played a very efficient quasi-triple-double personal data, but his teammates did not give him enough support, so that he could only accept the role of the air slasher, and finally the lone ranger under the leadership of Doncic, relying on three-point rain to shoot down the Pacers 132-105, to win a wave of two consecutive wins!
After the NBA entered the small-ball era, a number of full-fledged interior players with full personal ability emerged, and Sabonis Jr. is one of the most representative players, in this game with the Lone Ranger, Sabonis Jr. also fully demonstrated his dominance, in the 28.4 minutes of his play, 10 shots hit 8 goals, with great efficiency cut 21 points, 15 rebounds, 8 assists and 1 block gorgeous data, he did his best still can not change the end of the team's fiasco, It also made little Sabonis look helpless.
Although his personal performance was almost perfect, the Pacers did not take a single lead in the whole game, which also had a lot to do with the lack of morale of the whole team, did not exert high-intensity defense on the opponent, so that the Lone Ranger only made 5 mistakes in the whole game, which also laid the groundwork for their fiasco.
At the beginning of the season, because the league changed the rules of offensive fouls, resulting in a decline in personal performance of the genius teenager Doncic, as the schedule deepened and once again showed the dominance of the league's top superpower, this campaign against the Pacers, Doncic appeared 31.4 minutes, 21 shots hit 12 goals, including 9 shots 4 from outside the three-point line, but Doncic's performance on the free throw line surprised all fans, only 2 of 7 free throws, but he still cut 30 points, 6 rebounds, 12 assists, Personal data of 1 steal and 2 blocks.
Under Doncic's combing, the Lone Rangers also played a very sharp overall offense in the game, with six players on the team scoring in double figures, and they shot a total of 34 three-pointers in the game, shooting 16 three-pointers with a shooting rate of up to 47.1%, which is the main reason why they can win big.
I believe that after seeing the outstanding performance of Sabonis Jr., many teams will have a strong interest in him, where his future is, it is likely to change the next few seasons, the league's championship pattern, and many fans have also suggested that the lone ranger can consider trading Sabonis, so that he can replace Porzingis as Doncic's right hand!
