On March 17, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, the Lone Ranger won 113-111 against the Nets, the Nets were almost a full game ahead of the Game, and the result was caught up by the Lone Ranger in the last moment, until half a minute left in the fourth quarter, the two sides played 108-108 and returned to the starting line.
In the last half minute, the game was particularly exciting:
— With 22.7 seconds left, Doncic hit a back-back shot to make the Lone Ranger 110-108 Nets
— With 10.6 seconds left, Durant hit a three-pointer and the Nets made it 111-110 for the Lone Ranger
—The Lone Ranger's final offense, Dinwiddie's three-point shot to kill the Nets
In this game, the original focus was how many points Durant could get, because in the previous four games, Irving and Durant shot down 50 points, 53 points, and 60 points in succession, and finally Durant shot 8 of 20 in the game, only 23 points, 6 rebounds and 10 assists, failing to continue the high score performance of the Dueus combination.
On the Lone Rangers, Doncic handed over a large quasi-triple-double, he scored 24 points in the first half, a total of 14 of 26, 5 of 12 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, 37 points, 9 rebounds, 9 assists and 2 steals, and in the last moment, it was Doncic who attracted the bag clip, and then scored Ding Widy to complete the kill.
Here, Dinwiddie's performance must be commendable.
Dinwiddie's highlight of this game is not only a whistle-blowing kill, throughout the fourth quarter, with Doncic only scoring 4 points, he alone scored 15 points, and the Lone Ranger only played a wave of 34-20 reversals;
Dinwiddie played a total of 33 minutes, shooting 6 of 14, 2 of 6 from three-point range, 8 of 8 from the free throw line, and had 22 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists.
It needs to be said that this is the second consecutive game in which Dinwiddie has scored a deadlock, the last lone ranger defeated the Celtics, the game remained 11 seconds ago, the two sides tied 92, and then almost the same plot as today - Doncic held the ball to attract the bag clip, Dinwiddie at a 45-degree angle three-point kill, this game, he scored 18 points.
Since joining the Lone Ranger, Dinwiddie has played a total of 12 games, of which the past 10 games, he has averaged 20.3 points, 2.7 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game, 50.0%/45.3%/78.9% of the three shooting rates, and 63.8% of the true shooting rate.
Looking at Dinwiddie's entire career, he has never delivered such great efficiency — the 2019-20 season was probably the peak of Dinwiddie's previous season, when he averaged 20.6 points per game, but shot 30.8 percent from three-point range and only 54.1 percent from the field.
Compared with the Wizards period, the gap is even more obvious.
In the last 10 games for the Wizards, Dinwiddie averaged only 8.3 points per game, shooting 26.6% from the field and 25.0% from three-point range, and now judging two people — look at what Dinwiddie did with the Lone Ranger, the Wizards boss can really call the police.
Speaking of which, this is also a very interesting place, after the Lone Ranger and the Wizards reached a deal between Porzingis for Bertans and Dinwiddie, many people thought that the Lone Ranger was crazy, because Dinwiddie and Bertans played very badly at that time, and Porzingis, although the contract was also premium, was at least a former All-Star interior line.
As a result, Dinwiddie unexpectedly "resurrected" and played what may have been the best performance of his career — although Batan is still struggling (averaging 5 points per game and shooting 29 percent from three-point range), as long as Dinwiddie plays an unexpected performance, the Lone Ranger will definitely not lose money in this deal.
Listen to what Doncic has to say about his new teammate: "He (Dinwiddie) made us better, he was an organizer, he made us improve a lot... He hit a final-minute shot and he played like an All-Star. ”
Dinwiddie himself is a strong player, especially in key moments, one statistic is that Dinwiddie has hit 6 last 10 seconds in the past five seasons, only DeRozan (7 times) in the league has more than him, and today's kill is the first whistle-blowing kill of Dinwiddie's career.
The downturn of the Wizards period has become a thing of the past, and I hope that Dinwiddie can continue the bravery he has now, and now he can be said to be the best helper around Doncic - since Dinwiddie came, the Lone Ranger has won 10 games in 12 games, set a small goal first, and the second round of the playoffs?
