Luka Doncic is a genius born for basketball.
He picked up a basketball for the first time in 7 months and began to show far more skills than his peers at the age of 8. Subsequently, he frequently "jumped" to participate in the competition, and won a 5-year contract for Real Madrid, shining in Spain and the Champions League. At the national team level, he led Slovenia to the European Championship at the age of 18, changing the basketball history of this small country. Doncic, who swept across the continent, is a natural winner.
When we look back at Doncic's path to talent, talent is a word that can't be circumvented — his father was a former member of the Slovenian men's national basketball team, and his mother was a former hurdler. Doncic, who inherited his parents' excellent genes, really made Doncic gifted. But there is no equivalence between young fame and later success, and Doncic's diligence and fanatical pursuit of basketball are the most important reasons why he can cash in on his talent. When the teenager Doncic had already shown his obsessive love for basketball, all success came naturally.
Having an extraordinary talent for basketball from an early age and an almost obsessive love for basketball at a young age, Doncic can only be defined as "born for basketball". Talent and diligence led him to sweep the continent and was named "the best of the decade in European basketball". The highest temple in the basketball world also summoned him without suspense, and a new challenge came.
Luka Doncic is a "special" genius.
When we open Doncic's NBA draft report, the shortcomings of Hecchi are very obvious - when facing explosive players, the defense is more difficult. Average stature and arm span, only the league average. His first step was slow in Europe, and his one-legged jumping ability was not good.
Basketball geniuses in the traditional sense are all hardware conditions with outstanding running and jumping ability, strong explosiveness and talent. But Doncic is "special" — in the strong NBA, his absolute physical talent is slightly mediocre, he doesn't have a soaring horror explosion, and he doesn't have a surprising height-to-arm ratio.
But he used his success to prove the charm of basketball — his rhythm, his vision, his creativity are all mesmerizing, as his father praised him: "He is an artist on the basketball court." He showed the world that playing basketball is not just a path of physical talent, he dominates the arena with pure technology and romantic creativity, which is a "special" genius.
Luka Doncic is a genius who has been spoiled by fate
Gao Shun came to the NBA, the world's highest temple of basketball, and the natural winner continued to receive the favor of fate. The Lone Ranger and Hawk deal brought him to Dallas — probably the best of the league's 30 teams. There's the basketball-obsessed owner Mark Cuban, who is just as crazy about basketball as he is; the history of international players that has lasted for years, and the legendary names of Nash and Nowitzki, which once belonged to the city; here is a totem that is about to retire and a torch waiting to be taken over, and this totem also happens to be European.
In this way, Doncic came to Dallas under the care of fate, took the torch of Dirk Nowitzki, and began his "cowboy career".
The first two seasons of his career, on the level of personal honors, Doncic was almost perfect. The rookie season showed a staggering all-rounder, with 6 triple-doubles in a single season. In the second season, he rushed into the top four of the MVP selection of the Best Team, leading the Lone Ranger to fight the Clippers in the playoffs and deliver an epic level of slaying.
These words are not enough to summarize the strength of Doncic, the european genius who has repeatedly broken the NBA's youngest record and is still evolving, with an elusive ceiling.
But in contrast, he is frustrated at the level of team honor. The first season failed to make the playoffs, and the second season stopped in the first round of the playoffs. Doncic, who has long been accustomed to victory and championship on the European continent, has to accept the bitterness of defeat again and again. The cruelty of basketball, the world's highest temple, may make him understand that natural winners can not become a winning general, and the dazzling of personal data is not the same as the victory of the team.
But we have reason to expect Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks. In the second season, Doncic has frequently been in various records, comparable to LeBron James, Magic Johnson and other brilliant names. In the second season, Doncic has brought the former lotto team to the playoffs and lost six games with the title-contenders, while they were also plagued by extensive injuries. In the second season, Doncic has become the fourth and best team in the MVP selection, and has entered the ranks of the league's top superstars.
Where is the upper limit for him and the Lone Ranger in the future? It already has everything that will impact good results – a boss who reinforces at any cost, a coaching staff that meets the requirements of the stars, a top-notch duo with potential to look forward to. For the natural winner Doncic, the next thing he needs to do is to continue his efforts as always, to continue to cash in on his enviable talents, personal honors or the harvest of team achievements or rare people in the near future.
Nine years ago, Dirk Nowitzki led the team to defeat the Heat Big Three and won a championship in NBA history without being favored. When the Lone Ranger soul entered the draft, his physical talent was also looked down upon, but with his excellent projection ability and commendable tenacity, he gave the Lone Ranger the coveted championship.
Nine years later, Luka Doncic set sail again. With the reluctance to be killed last season, with the personal data of the first two seasons, with his sincere love for basketball, this European genius has embarked on a long journey, the new season he and his lone ranger go low and high, how many surprises can they bring in the future after 6 consecutive wins?
