Before the start of the playoffs this season, Doncic held a terrifying record of averaging 33.5 points in 13 playoff games in his career, which pushed jordan (Jordan averaged 33.4 points in 179 playoff games) to become the highest average scorer in the NBA's history.
But this season, Doncic's playoff trip came a little late, and he missed the first three games of the first round due to injury before returning on October 24, Beijing time. In the fourth and fifth games, Doncic scored 30 and 33 points respectively, which is considered by others to be a very excellent scoring performance, but it has pulled down Doncic's playoff average, so that his current average of points per game dropped to 33.3 points per game, which was surpassed by Jordan and temporarily ranked second in history.
Magical Lucca! He has set many records
In addition to scoring per game, Doncic has set too many playoff records before. For example, he is the third player in NBA history to score at least 300 points in the first nine playoff games, the first two being Abdul-Abdul-Jabbar and Michael Jordan; the first player to score 275+75+75 in the first nine games of the playoffs; at the same time, he is also the first player in NBA history to cut 30+3 doubles in the playoffs multiple times before the age of 23, creating his own miracle many times on the big stage of the playoffs, which is enough to prove that Doncic is an epoch-making talent.
Second-best in terms of average points per game? Don't panic! Sooner or later, he will overtake
Luca continued his magic show in today's game, scoring 19 points in the third quarter and clocking in early to rest after two minutes of symbolic ground in the fourth quarter, as the Lone Rangers had built up a huge 24-point lead and the Jazz lost the ability to fight back early.
In fact, Doncic's average score per game is likely to surpass Jordan again and regain the first place in history, because we all know that his past 33.5 points per game were all obtained against the Clippers, which were the Clippers with Paul George and Leonard, and in front of the strongest forward combination in the league at that time, Dondyc could get such a high score, let alone against other teams and other players. Just like today, as long as he wants, this will be another 40+ scoring feast, just really unnecessary.
Win the Heavenly King Mountain again, and be wary of repeating the mistakes of the past
Although only one foot away from the promotion, the Lone Rangers will not be able to relax in any way, and last season they were pulled by the Clippers in two consecutive sets after winning the King's Mountain, and finally regretted being out. If they can win the Jazz, the Lone Rangers will advance to the Western Conference semifinals again after a decade, and the last time they did, Dallas won the championship.
At present, if the Lone Rangers can reach the Western Conference semifinals as they wish, then their opponents will be the Suns and Pelicans, who are currently tied 2-2, on the one hand, the Suns, who booker does not know when they will return, and the Pelicans who have won three of the four games in the regular season, no matter which team they face, the Lone Rangers are full of opportunities.
