"It's the playoffs, it's different, there's always someone trying to hack my defense, but I'm proud of my defense!" In the post-game interview, Doncic said.
Who said that Doncic doesn't defend, it's just because it didn't come to the critical moment, he only needed to rely on offense to solve the problem in the regular season, he just left the defense until the playoffs.
In this game, Doncic showed his defensive attitude, and under his defense, the Clippers players shot only 2 of 17 in total.
In the last three key rounds, Xiaoka and George were deflated by him one after another. Obviously, in the face of this kind of offense that relies on a change of pace, Doncic is really not afraid.
Due to his size, Doncic will suffer against a fast guard, after all, his turning and lateral movement speed is too slow, but as long as he wants to, the defensive effect will be reflected immediately!
It is worth mentioning that Doncic not only defended in place, but also did not fall off, the Mavericks scored a total of 96 points in the game, Doncic scored 32 points and 9 assists as a ball-holding core, and made 54 points alone.
According to statistics, Doncic played against the Clippers 15 times in the playoffs, averaging 33.4 points, 8.9 rebounds and 9.3 assists per game.
