Reverse Growth Superstar

On the evening of November 9, the game between the Memphis Grizzlies and the Dallas Mavericks officially kicked off at the Federal Express Arena.

Although the Mavericks are not as strong as the previous Lakers, Nets and other teams, but because of the existence of Luka Doncic, the heat of this game is not low at all.

When Dongcic warmed up, he received the attention of many reporters. By his side, there are several cameras surrounding him to take pictures.

Soon, today's sideline reporter Stephen A. Smith appeared in front of the camera with a basketball magazine.

He put the cover of the latest issue of Sports Illustrated in front of the camera. The cover of this issue is Luca Doncic, and the title is also very eye-catching: "How close is he to Link?"

"Luka VS Link, a confrontation between the two most versatile players in the league. Many people say that Luka will take over Link's banner after Link leaves. So today, let Link test Check how many catties his successor is."

Stephen A. Smith knows the point very well and immediately aroused the curiosity of the fans.

Everyone can see Doncic's performance this season.

In his rookie season, he averaged 21 points per game. This can't help but make people think that Doncic may not make a leap of progress this season, or even regress, and become another debut or peak. example of.

However, Dongcic responded to this doubt with his own performance.

Faced with the Washington Wizards in the opener, he scored 34 points and blasted two All-Star Bradley Beal.

In the second game against the Pelicans, he scored a triple-double of 25 points, 10 assists, and 10 rebounds, leaving Brandon Ingram completely lost.

In the third game against the Blazers, Doncic blasted the quasi "30+ triple-double" data of 29 points, 12 assists and 9 rebounds, and eventually only lost the Blazers by two points, scaring Lillard into a cold sweat.

Against the Lakers and James, he had a large triple-double with 31 points, 13 rebounds and 15 assists. On the court, you don't even see that Mavericks No. 77 is a second-year rookie.

He is calm, smart, and full of lethality. Anyone must show an attitude toward the league superstars against him.

Last season, people were still discussing whether Trey Young and Doncic are the greatest young players of this era.

However, this season, the gap between Trey Young and Doncic has become very large.

This of course does not mean that Trey Young is weak, he is still one of the strongest young players in the league.

It's just that Doncic has left the category of "young players". He has begun to be compared with players such as Link and James.

In this game, people are also looking forward to Doncic's performance, expecting him to play a triple-double with Link just like the last time he played against James.

Dongcic was also very serious when he warmed up. This kid was holding a breath in his heart.

"That kid is not easy, I remember you were not so scary when you were in the second grade?" Gasol stood next to Link as he warmed up and chatted with Link.

"When I was in the second grade, I averaged only 22.2 points, 6.5 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game. His current averaging data surpassed that of me in all aspects." Link smiled. He specifically checked his own two yesterday. The data at the grade level was so different from Doncic.

Doncic is now almost in a state close to averaging a triple-double, and still averaging 30 points a triple-double!

In his second grade, Link broke the three-point contest record, won the Most Improved Player Award, and entered the double second team.

But these seem to be easy for Dongcic.

Overall, Doncic is indeed better than Lin Keqiang in second grade. And you know, Link is an older rookie, he was 23 years old in the second grade. Where is Dongcic? Under 20 years old!

To say he is a super genius is really not too much.

"Yeah, yeah, super genius. From now on, the Spanish team will be in Europe, and it will be dangerous..." Gasol sighed. Once Doncic grows up, Spain's position as Europe's first brother may not be guaranteed. Up.

"I can't control Europe, but in the NBA, in Memphis," Link said, patting Gasol on the arm. "No one can ride on our heads, neither can super geniuses."

After all, the referee signaled both sides to prepare for the start, and the game began immediately!

Doncic walked to the middle circle and hugged Link.

On the face of it, this seems to be quite friendly to opponents with "inheritance relations."

But Doncic and Link both care about the victory of this game very much.

"I won't let you today either, Luca." Link whispered in his ear as he embraced Doncic.

"Don't, I will not show mercy just because this is your home court." Dongcic also responded.

"Hahahahaha, you are one of the few players who dare to talk to me like this here. Don't let me down, kid."

Both sides let go and each walked towards their own half.

At that moment, they had changed from friends to mortal enemies.

The Mavericks' starting five are still very strong, with No. 1 Doncic and No. 2 Hardaway who averaged 18 points per game last season.

The third position is the young 3D engineer Dorian Finney Smith, the fourth position is Porzingis, center Dwight Powell.

If the Mavericks do not have any serious injury problems this season, their results will surely surprise everyone.

"The Mavericks' advantage is still obvious. If the Grizzlies use Conley to defend Doncic, it must be another tragedy. But Hardaway in the second position is not a fuel-efficient lamp. If the Grizzlies really want to defend , Link can only be used to defend Doncic."

"In addition to Doncic, Porzingis is also a dangerous man in the fourth position. Looking at what Anthony Davis did last time, it is not difficult to imagine what Porzingis will be like later. Although Je Michael Green is very strong, he cannot completely freeze the Latvians."

On the commentary stage, Jeff Van Gundy and Chris Webb each blew a wave of Mavericks.

But everyone knows that as long as Link is there, the Mavericks have no big advantage.

The referee threw the ball into the air and the game officially began.

After the Mavericks got the ball, Doncic immediately approached the Grizzlies halftime.

However, Link didn't face up with Doncic as soon as he came up. He properly guarded Finney Smith.

After all, it's a regular season, and it hasn't reached the point where it must be bayonet.

Therefore, for the time being, the Grizzlies are only executing on a regular defensive plan.

Seeing that Link hadn't come up to defend himself, Doncic immediately called for a screen.

That being the case, it's a shame!

Porzingis immediately ran to Doncic, who broke into the three-point line with a cover.

Doncic does not have lightning speed, but is very stable. He didn't worry after rushing in, but calmly watched the Grizzlies' defensive changes.

Conley immediately circumvented Porzingis and chased him, preparing to re-attach to Doncic.

As everyone knows, Dong Qiqi suddenly slowed down, and deliberately separated Conley with his ass, and took the initiative to confront him, not allowing Conley to get close!

Finally, seeing that Conley had no intention of leaving, Dongcic suddenly jumped slightly and threw his shot.

Because Conley pressed too tightly, he violated his cylinder when Doncic shot. Therefore, the referee blew the whistle without hesitation.

At the same time, the basketball hollowed into the net and Doncic scored effectively.

As soon as he came up, Doncic got a 2+1 chance on the experienced Conley!

"Beautiful, this is Luca Doncic! No lightning speed, no fancy dribble. It looks slow and unpretentious, but very wise! Do you believe it? The second-year Doncic has rich experience Conley is playing around!"

"Yes~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Luca is like an experienced veteran. He knows to slow down, take the initiative to fight, and know when to commit a foul. After all, before coming to the NBA, he was already the best in Europe. One of his professional players. It’s easy for him to adapt here!"

Doncic's attack in the first round won him endless praise.

Link shook his head, the kid was really smart. Which trick just came out of the old ball ruffian. However, Dongcic used it well.

Doncic on the court is very mature and doesn't have that funny look under the court at all.

But seeing Doncic standing on the free throw line, Link was not upset, but smiled.

Such an opponent is interesting!

If it's just an ordinary kid, then Link won't be interested.

Link patted Conley on the shoulder, motioning him not to get discouraged.

Next, Link will help Conley find his place.
