Seven facts that have to be admitted:
1, Doncic easily cut 39 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists triple-double data, this is also his personal 21st triple-double this season, scoring ability explosion, triple-double is really as simple as drinking water, this offensive and defensive integration, the defensive attitude is slowly getting better, this game is really casual play, MVP may not be able to get this season, but Doncic definitely has the strength of MVP, the Eastern European combination remains healthy, the playoffs are rushing, and the sword is aiming for the championship.
2. Irving's efficiency on the court was not high, only 6 of 15 shots, 2 of 8 three-point shots, 18 points, 8 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks. Shooting big shots, eating too much, Ramadan is over, Irving can eat and suddenly play a little unaccustomed, I have to get used to it, but today I turned into a defensive gate, filled the data column, and almost completed a triple-double, keep in shape and prepare for the playoffs.
3. Gafford made 12 of 12 shots and scored 26 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks. 100 shots, too stable, Gafford trade to the Mavericks really made money, supported the Mavericks' interior defense, the offensive end became a new generation of cake kings, Doncic and Irving took turns to feed the cake, too comfortable, the finish is also very hard, the invincible championship puzzle, Gafford The arrival really made the Mavericks more complete, with the confidence and strength to compete for the championship.
4. Kleber's performance is getting better and better, 4 of 5 shots in this game, 10 points and 6 rebounds, very efficient, too fierce today, the pace is sharp, the offense has become stable, Kleber has opened the playoff mode in advance, I hope to continue to maintain.
5. Hardaway Jr. shot 6 of 10 from the field, 3 of 7 from three-point range, and got 15 points and 4 rebounds. Hardaway Jr. is no longer super ghost, the playoffs are approaching, and he is slowly regaining his form, and he continues to stabilize, and the playoffs still need Hardaway's hard solution.
6, PJ-Washington only got 1 point, 7 rebounds and 3 assists in this game, and missed all 7 shots.
7. The Mavericks won four consecutive victories and continued to rank fifth in the West, only 1.5 wins behind the fourth-place Clippers, and the Mavericks' opponent in the first round can basically be determined to be the Clippers with the Big Four. The Mavericks Eastern European combination vs. the Clippers Big Four is full of highlights. If the Eastern European duo continues to perform efficiently and consistently, the Mavericks have a good chance of eliminating the Clippers to enter the second round, and the arrival of Gafford and PJ Washington makes up for the Mavericks' defensive shortcomings, and the Mavericks may become a dark horse in the West, or hopefully make it all the way to the Finals.
