So far this season, Luka Doncic's star has shone a bit, and the All-Star himself doesn't seem to have any answers.
After Sunday's win over the Sacramento Kings, the Dallas Mavericks' talented player was interviewed by reporters. Doncic's shots were poor (1 of 7 from the deep line and 2 of 6 from the free throw line), but shot from a distance from the mark at a crucial moment in the fourth quarter.
More confident than all my three-pointers and free throws," Doncic said confusedly after the game, according to ESPN's Tim McMahon. "I don't understand how that ball was scored and then all my normal mirror balls couldn't go in. I had to work on those normal shots. ”
Doncic, 22, hit 41.7 percent from the field on Sunday, 25.7 percent from the field and 77.3 percent from the free throws. Aside from the number of free throws, these are the lowest points in Doncic's career.
Doncic has always focused more on quantity than efficiency. One top guard even recently called him the NBA's toughest player to defend. Despite Doncic's struggles, the Mavericks still started 4-2, so maybe that's his way of giving the rest of the league a break.
