EN SU APOJEO / IN SUPPORT OF

Scoring many points in a game by NBA teams now seems very normal, and more in their respective players, the truth is that I do not know what to think, if it is mere talent or actually there are shortcomings in the defense, but what is showing the Slovenian player Luka Doncic of the Dallas Mavericks since the beginning of this season until today is truly amazing, I have no doubt about his talent, and even more when he has already played in the post-season several times, which tells us that there is something true about his level shown in this 2022, days of 50 and even 60 points, triple doubles are some of the performances that I will show you about this player below.

PRIMERO EN LA HISTORIA / FIRST IN HISTORY

To say that a team or in this case a player is the first in the history of something, means something very important, and more in this game that was dominated in the past by figures as emblematic as Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, to mention a few, the talent of this European player is magnificent, he has an ability to score points and make his teammates play that is truly amazing, You see him and he looks like anything but a pilot, a shooting guard and a strong forward that are the characteristics that he currently possesses and that are incredible, because physically he does not have the prototype of those players, of those positions, and that he plays in a very fluid way, crowding all the offensive statistics of the league in a very convincing way.

Faithful example of what I'm telling you is what happened this week in the game where the Dallas Mavericks Doncic's team received the New York Knicks, a game where both teams gave their all to get the victory, taking the best part of Dallas, 126 to 121 in another overtime, the best thing was not that the game has gone to overtime, but the way they went to that instance of the game, an offensive commanded by the Slovenian player, ended with an outcome not for the cardiac act, showing the superstar side of Doncic to complete the final plays successfully and in an exciting way to give the touch of spectacle to the commitment.

I love this kind of games, it is exciting when a team comes from behind to get the victory, it is kind of like that disadvantage is such, that when the team involved in that adversity, little by little is getting closer to the scoreboard, it adds something else, the public who, seeing that his team is coming back, play an important factor in this sense, because the noise helps in most cases the locals and interfere in the development of the visiting team, The crowd, when they see that their team is coming back, play an important factor in this sense, because in most cases the noise helps the locals and interferes in the development of the visiting team, completely overshadowing them, which translates into that factor, influencing in a notorious way in the commitment.

Los de Nueva York dominaron por completo casi todo el juego, primer, segundo y tercer cuarto, pero el mayor daño se lo llevaron en el 4to cuarto, como comúnmente pasa en estos casos, una actuación espectacular de Luka, fue la bujía de su equipo, al encestar prácticamente todo en esos momentos finales, hasta llevar y meter a los suyos en el partido, una actuación que llevó a que el jugador de 23 años culmina una jornada de hasta 60 puntos, 21 rebotes y 10 asistencias y yo le agregaria los 2 bloqueos, todo un superhéroe, para liderar todas las estadísticas ofensivas del equipo.

New York completely dominated almost the entire game, first, second and third quarter, but the most damage was done in the 4th quarter, as it usually happens in these cases, a spectacular performance by Luka, was the spark plug of his team, by scoring almost everything in those final moments, A performance that led the 23 year old player to finish the day with 60 points, 21 rebounds and 10 assists and I would add the 2 blocks, a super hero, to lead all the offensive statistics of the team.

This performance of 60 goals, put him directly in the history of the league, this at such a young age, not only to have such a similar performance of 60 points, but with his rebounds and assists that combined add a triple double more to his brilliant career, making him so far, the only player to have that level of triple doubles, 60-21-10, meaning that there was no other player in the history of the league, going through all its brilliant eras, in achieving such a prestigious performance, no doubt this fills me with pride, to be part of this generation of players, who have taken the baton in a way of playing so particular and so aggressive with the points never seen before.

The Dallas team looks very good for the beginning of 2023, despite having a 19-16 record, they are only 3.5 games away from the "Western Conference" pack of 6 teams, something that did not happen last season, predicting that the performances of the player from Europe will be of great help to reach not only the first places of this side of the league, but also to secure a place that will give them direct access to the post-season within the first 6 places of the table.
