Original title: Doncic swallowed the empty cut + reversed the tragedy output, full of physical fitness, and encountered a bottleneck again
On May 21, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA playoffs continued. The Golden State Warriors are at home in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals against the Dallas Mavericks. After the whole game, the Warriors reversed and defeated the Lone Ranger 126-117, leading 2-0 in total points.
On the Lone Ranger side, Luka Doncic scored 42 points, 5 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 steals.
In the first game of the Western Conference finals with the Warriors, Doncic fell into the opponent’s marking trap. He made 7 turnovers and only scored 2 points in the second half.
However, as the person with the strongest learning ability among the active players, after experiencing various defensive scenarios in G1, there is reason to believe that Doncic will make adjustments in the next games.
Sure enough, as soon as G2 came up, Doncic took a different offensive attitude. He first made a rollover jumper to activate his personal attack account, and then his step-back 3-pointer went into the net with ease. Doncic’s outbreak also activated other people’s touches with a touch. Next, Bronson and Bullock also hit shots from the outside.
In the first game, Wiggins was very eye-catching when facing Doncic. His confrontation was not bad at all, and he could use his excellent athletic ability to stay in front of Luka all the time.
But in this game, through excellent reading, Doncic gradually found the experience of singles Wiggins. He used his generous and strong body to keep Wiggins stuck, so that he could not fight with himself. And using the change in rhythm, Doncic also put Wiggins into a mess.
Frankly speaking, Wiggins has done his best to defend Doncic, and the Warriors’ pinch attack is fierce enough, and the timing is not bad. But this is how to give Doncic strength, or let him score 18 points in the first quarter.
In addition, with the players around the Lone Ranger standing up, Doncic also got a short respite, and he was able to get out of the anaerobic state of the continuous attack.
This short rest and energy accumulation allowed Doncic to continue his strong performance in the second quarter. In the latter part of this quarter, when the Warriors used an almost suffocating defense to restrain him, when the audience at the Warriors’ home court was roaring hoarsely. Interfering with him, he can still handle the ball calmly.
At the half-time countdown stage, the Lone Ranger’s offense was blocked, and when the time was about to come, the ball returned to Doncic. As a result, facing Wiggins’ defense, Doncic didn’t panic too much. He calmly shot a three-pointer and hit the ball steadily. After the ball was made, Doncic showed his signature smile and signaled the audience to calm down. This ball was quite murderous.
But maybe it was too excited in the first half, and in the second half, Doncic was misfiring again. Seizing his slump, the Warriors quickly set off a counter-attack climax. In the final quarter, the home team had already overtaken the score.
Passive, Doncic woke up like a dream, scored 30 with free throws, and then turned over and made a jump shot. But Luca’s awakening was somewhat late.
Although, in the latter part of the final quarter, Doncic scored 14 points alone, and his personal score was 40, but in the end, the result of reversing the loss made him feel the bitterness of helplessness and loss again. (Poirot)Return to Sohu, see more
