Before the season starts, people will be surprised when they see lone ranger star Doncic. Is this still the Doncic we know? When he entered the draft in 2018, Doncic was simply a Prince Charming, but now he has become a "middle-aged greasy uncle". Fortunately, Doncic adjusted himself in time, and on February 2, according to a well-known reporter, Doncic has lost from a huge weight of 120 kilograms at the beginning of the season to 109 kilograms, which is close to the level of the rookie season. An outside ball carrier weighing up to 120 kilograms is somewhat unacceptable.
Although Doncic's weight gain gave him super strength to fight, he was after all an outside ball-carrying attacker, and the larger the weight, the faster the physical exertion and the less sensitive the pace. No, Doncic's first half of the season was in ups and downs. Doncic realized the seriousness of the problem, his weight loss effect was obvious, and Doncic's presence was getting better and better after slimming down. For example, in today's victory over the 76ers, Doncic played a highly efficient game. What is the concept of a stunning triple-double with 33 points, 13 rebounds and 15 assists, and Doncic also scored two dunks in the game? Doncic has only dunked one basket this season before this game, and doncic got an unguarded fast-break opportunity in the previous game against the Grizzlies, and he chose to go to the basket.
The 76ers took the initiative at one point in this game, taking the lead on the road. But how could Doncic tie his hands? In the third quarter of the game, Doncic led the team to play an offensive climax to successfully reverse the score, and In the game, Doncic staged consecutive dunks. Especially the second dunk, Doncic was not afraid to face the 76ers interior Drummond, and it was a dunk to announce the return of his king. This is the Doncic we want to see, with speed and confrontation, moving forward. Instead of dragging an overweight body on the field struggling and hesitating.
In the 4th quarter of the game Doncic began to harvest. As soon as the 4th quarter came, Doncic played very firmly, using free throws to kill. Then the 76ers began to pack Doncic, how can Doncic be in a hurry. He first found Powell in the bag and sent him a pass. Doncic then scrambled to grab an offensive rebound, assisting Bullock in the bottom corner to hit a three-point shot. The Lone Rangers managed to pull the score apart in the 4th quarter. Doncic's patient grooming is undoubtedly the key.
Doncic's performance at key moments at the beginning of the season was actually very sluggish, precisely because he was too obese. If a player is overweight, the loss of physical strength becomes faster at a critical moment, and the pace of movement becomes slower, and there will be big holes at both ends of the attack and defense. In the last 5 games, Doncic has scored at least 30 points in 4 games, and the weight loss effect is immediate. Lone Ranger fans should be very happy to see this scene. Many NBA stars will actively lose weight at a certain stage. For example, after losing weight and maintaining their flexibility after getting older, getting bigger will not only affect the personal state, but also lead to an increase in the probability of injury.
Doncic successfully lost weight, and I hope that he will maintain self-discipline in the future and not let his weight climb. For The basketball star Harden, if he had lost weight earlier last season, maybe injuries wouldn't have come to the door so quickly. Dear readers, how do you rate Doncic's current state?
