On April 29, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs continued, and today the Mavericks sat at home to usher in the challenge of the Clippers, the result of this game may be known to many fans, the Mavericks lost to the Clippers 111-116, you must know that the opponent in this game is still missing a small card, and the Mavericks lost, through this game, we may be able to see the gap between the two teams, the culprit of the Mavericks' loss in this game is Doncic.

Let's briefly talk about the game process here, George scored 16 points in the first quarter to help the team lead by 23 points at the end of the first quarter, and George was still unstoppable in the second quarter, and the Clippers led by 19 points at halftime. Doncic and Irving finally broke out in the third quarter, the two combined for 18 points to help the team chase down to only 6 points, and the Mavericks tied the score in the final quarter under the leadership of Irving, and then George hit a three-pointer in the bottom corner, and Harden scored 5 points in a row to completely kill the suspense of the game, and the big score between the two sides also came to 2-2 after the win.

The Mavericks' loss in this game was almost the same as in the series G1, they fell behind by a large score in the first quarter, and the only difference was that G1 was Zubac who exploded, and this time it was George, who shot 11-of-19 from the field and 7-of-10 from three-point range to get 33 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists and 4 steals. But the main core of the game win was not George, but the Clippers' ball-handling big core Harden, because it was Harden who killed the game after the two sides returned to the same running line in the fourth quarter.

And the first game was also because of Harden's excellent control of the court, the Clippers won the victory, in fact, through the G4 and G1 wins, Tyronn Lue seems to have found the key to breaking the game, that is, Harden, who has the ball, is fantastic, he proved that he is still one of the best ball-holding cores in the league, in this game he shot 12 of 17, 4 of 5 three-pointers got 33 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, and scored 15 points in the final quarter.

Speaking of the big core of holding the ball, Doncic has to be mentioned, it can be said that Doncic's template after entering the league is Harden, and the Mavericks also built him in this way, now Doncic is at his peak, and Harden has entered the last years of his career, in this case, I thought that Doncic could complete the inheritance like Edwards took over Durant, but Doncic's performance was disappointing, and he and the current Harden have a gap.

Doncic scored 29 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists in this game, and although he played a triple-double, Doncic's efficiency was not good, shooting 10 of 24 and 1 of 9 three-pointers. Doncic and Harden have a very similar thing in that they both have a high ball quotient, which is why they can easily touch porcelain to get free throws, and they can also connect the team well, but Doncic and Harden are still clearly different.

The first is defense, I don't know where Doncic's confidence comes from, he has defended well in the past two games, although he is not the top, but at least he is positive enough to reach the level of the qualified line, this game is not in the small card and comes to the confidence of the fan, and he does not defend in the game, and he is beaten by the opponent's various point lists, and even said that the critical moment in the fourth quarter is like this, and the opponent is using him as an ATM.

The current Harden is not able to move sideways because of his previous injury, so he is not good enough to defend in the face of the opponent's breakthrough, but he is at least positive, and will use the ball quotient to defend, he is also willing to do dirty work, and even can resist the center on the inside, and Harden's current one-handed cutting has become his specialty, and the defensive end has also made the opponent eat a lot of closed doors, Doncic should learn from Harden's defensive attitude.

Then there is the mentality, Doncic is not defending is a manifestation of laziness, he is willing to give his all on the offensive end, but on defense he likes to conserve energy, he now does not look like a star who works hard to win, more like a brush who admires statistics. Secondly, he will not adjust himself after he can't score, he will only go to the referee to comment, in the playoffs of this level of games, many blowing penalties can be blown or not.

He blew up because the referee didn't blow his mentality, and even complained about the referee, which led to him 3 fouls in the first half, in addition to eating a T, because his problems even ruined the team's mentality. Look at Harden again, the current Harden is obviously more mature, he lost the ball in the third quarter, and the team fell behind, but after getting the ball in the fourth quarter, he didn't complain, he still did his job, and the referee didn't give the whistle or argue about it, which ruined his mentality.

Doncic is still young, but he has also played in the league for six years, he can be said to be one of the most talented players in the current young generation, he has the opportunity to chase the historical status, I hope he can find his own problems and make adjustments in time, although the defensive talent is limited, but as long as the defense is active enough, it can make up for the shortcomings, if the future is still like this, then he will only get worse and worse.

Speaking of which, what do you have to say about Doncic now?
