[Doncic 55 points crazy carry!Harden three points again dumb fire, Mavericks away reversal 1-1]
Friends just concluded the NBA playoffs Western Conference first round G2. In this game, the Mavericks relied on Doncic's 55-point masterpiece and Irving's steady play, and finally defeated the Clippers 96-93 on the road and tied the total score at 1-1!
Before the game, everyone was talking about how the "former club" and "former teammates" of Harden and Doncic would have chemistry on the court. Who would have thought that as soon as the game came up, Doncic's momentum would make everyone daunted! He scored 10 points in a single quarter and tore the Clippers' interior defense to shreds.
Doncic, the 23-year-old big man, has really improved so fast. Last season with the Mavericks, he was already the centerpiece of the team. And this season has reached a whole new level! 55 points per game is a career high in the NBA regular season and playoffs. And his stats are not only amazing in scoring, but his 6 rebounds and 9 assists also prove that he is an all-round interior player.
In the face of Doncic's superstar arrogance, the Clippers' interior defense is obviously stretched. Zubac, Hart, and Gasol Jr. were all held under the big man and slaughtered. Boss Co is the only one who can stop his offense, but it only slows down Doncic's lethality.
In addition to Doncic's interior frenzy, the Mavericks' offense has another sharp blade - Irving. Once upon a time the league's top scorer, he is now back in form. The 23 points and 6 rebounds in the game are not amazing, but in waves of critical moments, Irving can stand up and perform a unique trick, giving the opponent a ruthless storm.
Under the power of the Eastern European combination, the attack of the Lone Ranger is like a beast that finally breaks free from the shackles. Whenever the Clippers hit them through inside and outside, the Mavericks immediately widened the margin through Doncic and Irving's individual singles. Finally, in the fourth quarter, the Mavericks sealed the victory with a score of 96-93.
In contrast, the offense of the Clippers is really a hairspring. The main players didn't shoot well when it mattered, especially Harden. The three-point shooting percentage of 2-of-10 shooting from the field was eye-popping. The "three-point blade" who conquered the league is now hampered by injuries and technical deficiencies, and his on-court performance has been on and off-track, and it is hard to believe that it is the superstar who has set multiple NBA records.
Both Harden and Leonard have also shown their characteristics on the court. Leonard's defense was very aggressive, and at one point he scored five straight points to help his team take the lead. Harden opened the door to three-point shooting in the third quarter. Although he was dumbfounded in the end, his assists and scoring skills were still impressive.
Pharaoh George was the second-highest breakup of the Clippers in the game. His 22 points and 9 shots from the field can be regarded as fighting with all his strength. Zubac also did his best to contribute 12 rebounds inside, proving his presence under the basket. However, overall, the main lineup of the Clippers is still holding its breath. George, Leonard, and Harden failed to play at their true level in this crucial game as the Big Three.
The Mavericks' most important wins are two: first, Doncic scored 55 points in a single game; The second is at the end of the fourth quarter. A crucial 8-0 surge extended the lead from three points to double digits and sealed the final preparations for victory. This not only tested the experience of the players, but also reviewed the basic skills of the Mavericks on the road to winning the championship.
The Mavericks gave the Clippers a taste of the power of a sharp blade called "Doncic". Although the Clippers are not without superstars who can also 50+ in a single game. But they were overwhelmed by Doncic in this battle. You know, this is a life-and-death battle in the playoffs! No one wants to lose here.
Now the aggregate score is 1-1 draw, and the two sides have reached a white-hot moment of life and death. The next local conflict will be played out on the court, and who will have the last laugh. Regardless of the outcome, I believe the Mavericks and Clippers will let us see more exciting matchups.
