It is not difficult for many players to score 11 points in a row, but it is not easy to score 11 points in a row and take away the game when there are only three minutes left in the game and the team is still 8 points behind. Luka Doncic's performance in the first three quarters of this game was not good, scoring only 10 points in a total of 12 shots, but his touch was loaded at the critical moment. After a three-pointer from the baseline, Doncic began to dominate every offense.
And he not only has the perimeter, dribbling ability and the pressure resistance to win or lose, he is also calm and smart in facing the Rockets' defensive strategy. If he is facing center Clint Capela, he will create opportunities for outside shots. If he is facing P.J. Tucker, he will use the pick-and-roll to find a way to cut to the layup. In the end, he used a huge step-back three-pointer to defeat the Rockets led by James Harden, the father of the step-back.
"This is not something that ordinary people can do. It's obvious that he has a talent for being able to perform at critical moments. Regardless of how he did it, these three or four minutes are unique." - Rick Carlisle

Looking at Dallas' player roster and record in the past two seasons, there is an inverse relationship between senior players and record. The biggest reason for the improved record this season is not that the team found the second giant Kristaps Porziņģis, but that the team correctly placed its resources in the right position. The first step is to establish the main axis with Doncic as the main engine, and arrange a lineup and tactical deployment that are best suited to play his triple threat.
The successful strategy has allowed Dallas to return to the playoffs, and also made Doncic a new generation of big three-point manufacturing machine. As can be seen from the highlights of this game, the Mavericks' offensive space is very wide, and there will basically be a shooter on both sides of the baseline. This also allows Doncic to help the team by just doing what he is best at, "making choices."
The Kings used double-attacks extensively in this game, which also allowed Doncic to pass a career-high 17 assists. The triple triple he completed with 9 minutes and 16 seconds left in the third quarter also made him the fastest triple triple in team history. At the same time, he surpassed the legendary star Magic Johnson and became the youngest player to score 20-15-15.
Chasing after his idol LeBron James, he blasted the second youngest player with 40 points and three triples

Why does the King actively adopt a double-teaming strategy? This game earlier in the season was a counterexample. At that time, the Spurs almost used one-on-one defense, but Jamal Murray, Derrick White, Bryon Forbes, not to mention the smaller Patty Mills were unable to stop Doncic's offense. This allowed him to score 40+ points in a single game for the first time in his career in the 13th game of the season, and he also scored a triple. The exaggerated statistics allowed him to catch up with LeBron James and become the youngest player in the history of the league besides LBJ to score 40 points and three triples.
Doncic's performance was certainly boosted by coach Carlisle's strategy, but when interviewed, he still fully attributed it to the players: "This guy dominates the basketball court, and no one can stop him in whatever he wants to do. He is playing a wave. An amazing performance. We are witnessing an extraordinary performance while we are there."
A bear turns into a hero, from a critical mistake to a critical and accurate victory

Some players are just good at playing hero ball. Hero ball requires an offensive method that is difficult for the opponent to completely block. They know how to observe the defense and use the decisive power of this offensive method. They have the courage to take on key offenses and defenses. They can let the adrenaline surge while also being calm. big heart. Besides that, maybe a little bit of luck.
In the game against the Timberwolves, Doncic missed a pass from the sideline when he was 1 point behind with only 35 seconds left. However, his teammates' active defense allowed the opponent Josh Okogie to make a more rookie mistake and regain the ball. Doncic, who started dribbling the ball from the backcourt, didn't seem to care about the previous possession that almost cost the team, dribbling to the three-point line and shooting for the lead.
After the game, the team's legend Dirk Nowitzki did not hesitate to give critical certification: "This is what he brings to us. He is a very good finisher."
