"Give the ball to Eastern Europe", when the Mavericks scored 21 points in the final quarter, the two of them scored 1 more points than the entire Timberwolves in the final quarter, and winning was naturally a no-brainer. The Eastern European combination has played 3 consecutive Western finals games, taking over the game in the final quarter to lead the team to victory, especially in the decisive moment (the last 5 minutes of the difference of less than 5 points) The two can be called the invincible existence of the active team, thus leading the Mavericks to a 3-0 lead in the total score to win the match point, and they are also expected to lead the team to the finals to impact the second championship in team history.

The data proves how strong the Eastern European portfolio is at the moment of time

G1: Doncic scored 15 points in the final quarter, and Irving made two free throws in the last seven seconds

G2: Doncic made a three-point shot, Irving scored 13 points in the final quarter

G3: Irving scored 14 points in the final quarter, Doncic's key offensive and passing performance

In the three games of the Western Conference finals, the Timberwolves scored a total of 64 points in the final quarter, while the two in Eastern Europe combined for 58 points.

Forest Wolf: 22 minutes, 22 minutes, 20 minutes, 53.5% accuracy rate.

Eastern Europe: 19 points, 18 points, 21 points, 72.7% true shooting percentage.

It is not difficult to see that in fact, in the first three games of the Western Finals, although the Mavericks had the last laugh, they all fought with the Timberwolves until the last moment to determine the winner. It is only because the Mavericks have Doncic and Irving, two super "killers", that they have a better grasp of critical moments, and they can lead the Mavericks to win 3 games in a row to win the match point.

The Western Conference Finals have achieved each other in three consecutive Eastern European matches

When the Mavericks have two superstars, they are always able to step up and take over the game in key moments, whether it is Doncic's 15-point explosion in the final quarter of the first game, or his three-point accurate shooting in G2 and key offensive and passing performances in G3, Doncic can always make the right choice in key moments.

As for Irving's 30 points in G1, he hit two free throws in the last seven seconds to establish the victory, and then he scored 13 and 14 points in the final quarter respectively, becoming an unstoppable offensive killer in the final moments.

Just like this in the final quarter of G3, Doncic and Irving combined for 21 points, Irving scored 14 points on 5-of-7 shooting, and Doncic scored 7 points on 3-of-3 shooting. On the other hand, the Timberwolves scored only 20 points in the fourth quarter, leading the Mavericks to a 29-20 net win in the final quarter, while the Mavericks also won by 9 points at 116-107.

The tacit understanding between the Eastern European pairs is getting better

Half a season of cooperation last season, Doncic and Irving's poor chemistry led to the Mavericks finally falling from fourth in the West to missing the top 10 and missing the play-offs.

However, the chemistry between Doncic and Irving is getting better this season, and they are also leading the Mavericks to advance to the Western Conference finals, and are currently leading the Timberwolves 3-0, and have the law of 100% promotion, aiming to return to the Finals after 13 years.

The Eastern European combination trusts each other, the most intuitive scene Doncic made a mistake in the final stage, after the Timberwolves missed the shot, the Mavericks got the rebound, Irving came directly to ask for the ball, Doncic handed over the ball directly, signaled to him to pull away at halftime, Irving switched to the Towns defense, and directly retreated to shoot to lay the victory.

When it came to Irving's stellar play in the final quarter, Doncic said: "It's unbelievable, that's why some people call him 'Mr. Fourth Quarter,' right? He was brilliant and it felt like he scored 20 points in the fourth quarter. Owen is made for the big scenes, he is born for the big moments, so we just give him the ball. ”

Public opinion overwhelmingly praised the epic performance of the Eastern European group

It is worth mentioning that Irving and Doncic shot 63 of 128 in the first three games of the Western Conference finals, shooting 49.2%. On the other hand, Edwards and Towns shot 37-of-111 from the field with a combined shooting rate of only 33.3%.

In the first three fourth-quarter games of the series, Doncic and Irving combined for 58 points (72.7% true shooting), and the Timberwolves combined for 64 points (53.5% true shooting percentage).

Note: True Shooting Percentage = Full Court Score / [2× (Full Court Shots + 0.44 ×Free Throw Shots)]

The intuitive gap made Bill Simmons lament after the game: "The Mavericks have reached this level in the playoffs, and if the score is close in the last three minutes, you can assume that Doncic can win [anyway]." ”

Famous mouth Skip commented: "Doncic and Irving vs Holiday and White, the league's best defensive backcourt, will be an epic matchup, with the Mavericks having a slight advantage. ”

The Eastern European duo have now led the Mavericks to a 3-0 overall lead, and they are just one step away from the third Finals in team history.
