On May 17th, Beijing time, because there are fewer NBA games today, we can talk about the performance of some teams in the past period of time, and now the battle between the Mavericks and the Thunder in the West has ended, and the Mavericks have defeated their opponents, and in the next game back to their home court, as long as the team can hold on, they will be able to reach the Western Conference Finals, and they may most likely face the Nuggets in the West Finals.

The reason why the Mavericks were able to win Tianwang Mountain was because of Doncic's excellent performance, in the first four games, because of injuries, Doncic has been pressed by Alexander, but in the fifth game Doncic finished Alexander with a better performance, this game Doncic scored a triple-double of 31 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists, not only scored more personal points than Alexander, but also completely destroyed the opponent in terms of connecting the team, and blocked the opponent at the last moment.

Doncic is not nervous a lot of the time, he is too confident, and he doesn't defend a lot of times, so it also makes the team miss a lot of easy wins, but he does have the capital of self-confidence, after every playoff game is not good, he will inevitably play back in the next game, career so far in the playoffs, after Doncic's last loss, he can average 34.2 points per game in the next game, which is the highest in history, as Jordan's average of 33.2 points per game is still behind him.

The game against the Clippers also hit Tianwang Mountain, and as a result, Doncic scored 35 points, 7 rebounds and 10 assists, and his performance was very good, and he is indeed a top 3 player in the current league. But Irving didn't play well enough in this series, with 12 points and 4 assists, and this is already his second-best game in the last four games, because Irving has scored 9 points in two of the last four games.

So far in the series, Irving has averaged 14.4 points, 2.4 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game, shooting only 45% from the field and 43% from three-point range. In fact, in the first round, his overall shooting rate was above 48%, although Irving is a defender, he is the strongest single backcourt in the active team, and the scoring stability is very good, and the overall shooting rate of 45% is already abnormal for him.

Irving, as the team's second-in-command, averaged only 14 points per game, such a performance is really unsatisfactory, why did he play so poorly? Could it be that he was unhappy because he didn't have the ball, so he deliberately reduced his personal attack to pass the ball? After all, Owen had a reputation as an expert in team dismantling back then, and when he was a knight, he forced the palace to leave the knights because he didn't want to be the second master of James, could it be said that he is going to show his tumor attribute again?

Actually, no, it can be said that without Irving, the Mavericks would not have reached the current height, Irving helped the Mavericks reach the current high with excellent play, scoring two 9-point games, although he scored less, but the team won one game, he is now more focused on analyzing the situation on the court, contributing on the defensive end, and then connecting the team on the offensive end to get his teammates involved.

After all, basketball is a team sport, and only when teammates find self-confidence, the Mavericks can play better, which Doncic has not realized yet, but Irving has been able to understand, he used to advocate individual offense, after all, his singles ability is the top in the league, but he often plays 50+ performances and the team loses, just because the individual is too independent. But now he's different, he's willing to go and assist his teammates, his teammates are happy on the offensive end, the opponent is difficult to defend, and his teammates are more willing to give their all on the defensive end.

Coach Kidd also talked about Irving's scoring performance when asked by reporters recently, saying: "Everybody is talking about his scoring, but his defense is not getting enough recognition." Indeed, in the past few games, Owen has defended Alexander, he has done a good job, wrapping around the opponent in the middle of the court, although the defensive effect is not particularly good, but he has also consumed Alexander.

So far in the playoffs, Irving has averaged 1.5 steals and 0.5 blocks per game, and his defensive efficiency of 108.3 ranks fifth in the league, which is very good. Doncic also talked about Irving's recent performances, saying: 'We've played together for four or five months, I've really enjoyed it, and all the players on our team have given 100 percent on the court, we've played well as a team, and we're going to stick with our team basketball.' ’

In the past, Irving liked to use his scoring to prove himself, but now Irving can be recognized without scoring, he is indeed more mature, but Durant and James missed it, Doncic is lucky, and he was assisted by a top star who was still in his prime at an age before he entered his prime. Speaking of which, what do you have to say about the current Lone Ranger? Welcome to leave a message to discuss.
