The NBA regular season continues, and the West ushers in a strong dialogue, with the Lone Ranger sitting at home to meet the Clippers.
Before the game began, both teams completed the reinforcements at the trade deadline, with the Lone Ranger official announcing the removal of Boshin and getting Dinwiddie and Bertans from the Wizards.
Although it has been rumored that Boshin and Doncic are at odds, after the deal ended, Boshin publicly thanked his old owner Lone Ranger, and Cuban also praised Boshin's talent, believing that he could play better in The Wizards.
In addition, the Lone Ranger also finalized a renewal before the start of the game, and is expected to sign a four-year, $55 million early renewal contract with Finney Smith.
And the Lone Ranger is confident of keeping Brunson in the offseason, and overall, the Lone Ranger has not only completed a significant reinforcement of the lineup, but also appeased and retained players in the existing lineup whose contracts are about to expire.
On the Other hand, the Clippers, the team sent away Ibaka as desired, saving the team's expenses, and it is expected to further strengthen the inside line in the buyout market.
In the face of this series of adjustments of the team, Doncic can be described as a happy event, and the game showed excellent competitive state from the beginning.
Doncic shot 10-of-13 in a single quarter and 7-of-10 from three-point range, scoring 28 points alone, successfully setting a record for players scoring in a single quarter since the opening of the game, a record previously held by Warriors Curry, who scored 25 points in a single quarter against the Clippers.
Such a performance also makes Doncic the third player to deliver at least 28 points in a single quarter since the 1996-97 season, the first two being Kevin Love (34 points) and CJ McCollum (29 points).
In addition, Doncic shot 7-of-10 from three-point range in the first quarter, also breaking the Lone Rangers' all-time record for three-point shots in a single quarter.
The record was previously held by Dennis Scott, who made six three-pointers in a single quarter in 1977.
Blessed with Doncic's miraculous performance, the Lone Ranger naturally led the way to end the first quarter, but the Clippers performed equally well, trailing the Lone Ranger by only eight points in the first quarter.
In the second quarter, Doncic's hand dropped badly, scoring only 4 points in a single quarter, but the role players around him began to stand up and solve the problem.
So, despite the Clippers' multiple offensive surges in an attempt to turn things around, the Lone Rangers were still nine points ahead at the end of the half.
With Doncic back up, and with role players continuing their form in the second half of the second quarter, the Lone Ranger stretched the point difference to as much as 17 points at one point.
Fortunately, the Clippers had no intention of giving up, and despite the absence of george and Leonard, under the leadership of Morris, Powell and Reggie, the Clippers rose to the top and successfully narrowed the point gap to just 8 points at the end of the third quarter.
Entering the final quarter of the scramble, the Clippers continued to work hard, once forcing the point difference to only 3 points, after which the Lone Ranger saw that the situation was not good, and once again played an attack wave, re-widening the point difference to double digits.
Coupled with doncic's continuous killing at key moments, the Lone Ranger finally had a thrilling defeat to the Clippers 112-105, and the team won 4 consecutive wins while giving the Clippers 3 consecutive losses.
This allowed the Lone Ranger to completely sit in fifth place in the West, 2 wins ahead of the Nuggets behind him, and 1.5 wins away from the Jazz in front of them.
At the same time, it also pulled the Lakers in disguise, and after the Clippers suffered three consecutive losses, although the team still ranked eighth in the West, the advantage over the Lakers was only 0.5 wins.
Interestingly, the camera of the scene also gave the camera to Leonard, who was watching the game from the sidelines when the Clippers were passive, only to see leonard's eyes full of blood and did not seem to have a good rest.
