Yesterday's regular season, the Lone Ranger won 113-111 against the Nets, this battle the Lone Ranger almost fell behind a whole game, until the fourth quarter to play a wave of 34-20 to successfully rebound, in the last moment, Dinwiddie with a whistle three-point kill opponent.
It is worth mentioning that this is the second consecutive game in which Dinwiddie has scored a three-point shoot-off, and the scenes of the two kills are almost exactly the same, both doncic holding the ball and encountering the bag clip, and then splitting the ball Dinwiddie's kill.
So Doncic's threat is self-evident, and as far as this is concerned, Doncic's performance is really outstanding.
In addition to assisting Dinwiddie in the final moments to complete the shootout, Doncic scored 34 points in the first three quarters — if it weren't for him, the Lone Ranger might have collapsed long ago.
Doncic played a total of 39 minutes, shooting 14 of 26, 5 of 12 from three-point range, 4 of 4 from the free throw line, and a large quasi-triple-double with 37 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists, the highest triathlon in the team.
So far this season, Doncic's performance has also been quite wonderful.
So far, Doncic has played a total of 53 games, averaging 28.2 points, 9.3 rebounds and 8.6 assists per game, shooting 45.5%/34.1%/74.4% of the three and shooting 56.4% of the true range.
He ranks 4th in the league, 5th in the league in assists, and 20th in the rebounding league, and Doncic is now the only player in the league to score points and assists in the top five, and the only player to average "28+8+8" per game.
It must be said that Doncic's form is on an upward trend, and after entering February, he played a total of 17 games, including 40+ in 5 games, including a career-high score of 51 points, averaging 33.6 points, 10.2 rebounds and 8.0 assists per game, the first point in the league in the same period.
You can see that Doncic is at his best, and at the same time, the Lone Ranger's record is getting better and better:
The Lone Ranger currently has a record of 43 wins and 26 losses, ranking fifth in the West and seventh in the league
After entering 2022, the Lone Ranger has a record of 26 wins and 8 losses, the second in the league
Doncic's role in the Lone Ranger must not be more needless to say, he is the root of this team can become a strong team, the most direct embodiment is the record:
- Doncic played in 53 games, the Lone Ranger record is 36-17, with a winning percentage of 68%
- Doncic's 16-game suspension, the Lone Ranger record is 7 wins and 9 losses, with a winning percentage of 44%
In previous years, Doncic's performance was definitely an MVP candidate, but this year, Doncic could not even enter the top six, and in the latest issue of the MVP list, Doncic's name could only rank seventh, and look at the six before him, each of them was ridiculously strong:
- First, Jokic, averaging 26+14+8 per game, high-level data explosion
- Second, Embiid, averaging 30+11+4 per game, high-level data explosion
——Third, alphabet brother, the average per game is 30 +11+6, high-level data explosion table
Fourth, Morant, averaged 27+6+7 per game, leading the Grizzlies to become the biggest dark horse
Fifth, DeRozan, averaged 28+5+5 per game, leading the Bulls to a leap forward
Sixth, Tatum, averaging 27+8+4 per game, leading the Celtics to the back
This year's MVP competition is fierce, and it may be extremely rare in NBA history - like Doncic, Tatum, Morant, DeRozan, etc., in some years, it is at least the top three MVP levels, and as a result, this season, because of the existence of the "three highs", these four may only be accompanied by running.
Finally, back to Doncic.
MVP is naturally valuable, but at the moment, Doncic definitely has more important goals - the Lone Ranger has fallen in the first round for two consecutive years, and lost to the same opponent for two years, this year the Lone Ranger lineup has ushered in some changes, Doncic has such a better helper as Dinwiddie, with their momentum after February, there is a full opportunity to rush to the next round, the Western Conference Finals, and even the Finals.
As for the MVP, one statistic is that only one player has averaged "27+8+8" per game in every year of the past three years, and this player is Doncic, which shows that his form is very stable and excellent, and he is only 23 years old now - just like Durant said of Doncic after the last game: "The sky is his limit." ”
