15 of 30 shots, 45 points, 12 rebounds and 8 assists, this is the data handed over by Doncic in the semi-final game against the Suns G1, from the performance point of view, it is undeniable that Doncic is perfect, in all aspects of the team to help, in the last moment behind the Suns double digits, his possession of the ball to break through the layup, fouls and arc top three points, these have given the team a lot of help, he is the Lone Ranger team can fight to the final moments of the big credit. Unfortunately, Doncic, who scored 45 points, still could not lead the team to win the game, and the Lone Ranger lost to the Suns on the road, and in this series, the Lone Ranger team has fallen behind the Suns 0-1 and is passive in the series.
It is worth mentioning that Doncic lost to the Suns in this game, which was a 10-game losing streak against Paul, and doncic last won against Paul, when Paul was still playing for the Rockets. It can be said that Paul is Doncic's bitter master, and every time he encounters the team Paul plays for, It is difficult for Doncic to lead the team to win the game.
In terms of ability, Doncic is definitely stronger than Paul, and he can get more luxurious data than Paul, but in terms of leading the team, Doncic's ability is not as good as Paul. Paul doesn't shine in stats, but he can bring a lot of help to the team, he can pass, defend, hit shots at key moments, and when the team needs itself, he can step up and help the team get better.
And Doncic, although his personal data is comprehensive and luxurious, he can't do what Paul did to help the team get better. Fans who have watched the game should know that Doncic plays in a game somewhat like the Rockets' Harden, who dribbles for more than 10 seconds each offensive round and then chooses to shoot at the end of the offensive round.
Although for the most part, he was able to hit the shot, but his large number of balls could not allow more teammates to participate in the offensive round, and many times, teammates were standing and watching Doncic go singles, which was difficult to lead the team to win the game.
The Lone Rangers were able to lead the Jazz 2-1 in the first round without Doncic, the team relied on the team to play, Doncic was not there, brunson, Dinwiddie and Kleber and other players, they were able to show their value on the court, get enough shots, the team is more fluent in passing the ball, and the running position is very positive.
After Doncic returned, because he needed to hold the ball a lot, the other players did not have as much room to play as before. In the game, Doncic is definitely able to get high scores and play very luxurious data, but only rely on Doncic's play, the team can not win this series, the Suns are a team that pays attention to team play, they are strong players in each position, can help the team on the field.
In this series, the Lone Rangers want to qualify, Doncic needs to change his way of playing, let other players participate in the attack, if Brunson, Dinwiddie, Bullock and Smith and other players can usher in the outbreak, then Doncic even if he scores 20 points, the team is expected to win the series. This series is about the overall play, not the individual performance of the players, and if the Lone Rangers can be used by all, then they still have the hope of becoming the final winner of this series.
