In the two games that returned, Luka Doncic averaged 31.5 points, 11.5 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game, shooting 51.2% from the field and 35% from three-point range. There is no doubt that Doncic is still the foundation of the Lone Ranger, and as for Jaylen Brunson, the Lone Ranger does need to come up with a more salary to keep him, but with a choice between Doncic and Brunson, it is estimated that Mark Cuban will not have any doubts. Doncic has done well on the offensive end, the tandem team is not up to normal levels, and the control errors are also somewhat bad, averaging 4.5 turnovers per game, which means that Doncic has to make a mistake every time he sends.
Being able to return in the face of a calf strain, it can be seen that Doncic also took a certain risk, which did not affect his state, the third quarter of the Battle of Tennoyama, Doncic shot 6 of 9 in a single quarter, including 5 three-pointers, 3 of 6 plus 6 free throws, 19 points and 3 rebounds, leading the Lone Ranger to win the game. To be honest, an interior player like Rudy Gobert is really desperate once he meets Doncic, Doncic's speed and explosiveness are not outstanding, but his rhythm is top,000, the ball quotient is high, and after the substitution, there are often wonderful shots of small plays of big Gobert.
Doncic's assists in the playoffs were lower than in the regular season, but the face-frame singles were better than in the regular season, and in both games, Doncic had nine rounds of face-frame singles, as many as James Harden, and tied for the first place in the league. However, Doncic's face frame singles shooting rate is higher, averaging 6.5 face frame singles per game, shooting 53.8%, and Harden is 6.2 shots, shooting 35.5%. Meanwhile, Doncic's face-frame singles completed THE ONE at 11.1 percent, compared to Harden's at 2.2 percent.
It looks like Doncic in the playoffs is going into singles king mode. However, Doncic's strongest background emperor is not Gobert, but Bojan Bogdanovic. In both games, Gobert played directly against Doncic for three minutes on the defensive end, who shot 5-of-8 and shot 62.5 percent from the field, including 2-of-5 three-pointers and 40 percent from 40 percent. This shows that the Jazz did not actually give Doncic too many opportunities to misplace. Bojan, who defends Doncic, is directly opposite Doncic for 13 minutes and 38 seconds on the defensive end in two games, and Doncic shot 65% of 20 from the field, including 4 of 9 three-pointers, shooting 44.4%.
Bojan's body shape is similar to Doncic's, and it is reasonable to say that the pace should be able to keep up with Doncic, and there will be no situation where Gobert cannot keep up with the big defense. But in the face of the flow of technology, Doncic still has no better way. Speaking of which, if the Jazz want to do wonders in the rest of the game, they have to find a way to limit Doncic. In this regard, rocket veteran Danuel House should be reused.
In both games, House confronted Doncic directly on the defensive end for 4:01, and Doncic shot 28.6% of 7 from the field during this time, including 1 of 2 three-pointers and 50% from the field. Combined with Doncic's playoff performances, House's performance on the defensive end has been quite good. In the next game, the Jazz should give House more opportunities to limit or consume Doncic. The highlight of House's career is the Rockets period, with the departure of Harden and others, House also began a wandering career, as a functional player, House can also play the Wizards, hoping that he can become the Jazz to limit Doncic's Surprises.
