In the game between the Lone Ranger and the Grizzlies, Doncic and Morant, two potential rising stars, ushered in a head-on duel, and both players showed extremely high competitive status in this game, and they were very good in terms of personal performance. Among them, Morant started with 41 minutes and 28 seconds, and he had 35 points, 13 rebounds and 6 assists on 14 of 31, which is already a very good performance. But doncic of the Lone Rangers is even better, playing 37 minutes and 59 seconds in the whole game, with 37 points, 11 rebounds, 9 assists and 3 steals on 13-of-25 shooting. Whether it's the comprehensiveness of personal data or the efficiency of shooting, Doncic has an advantage. More importantly, Doncic also led the team to win the game in this game, and in the direct confrontation with Morant, Doncic laughed to the end.
I don't know if you have paid attention to it, after Doncic got 37 points, 11 rebounds and 9 assists in this game, he has surpassed 20 points in 10 consecutive games. In these 10 games, Doncic has won three double-doubles and many times to get quasi-triple-doubles, and there has been a very obvious recovery in competitive status. Under doncic's leadership, the current Lone Rangers' record is also by leaps and bounds, and the current Lone Rangers are in 5th place in the West with a record of 27 wins and 20 losses, 2 wins ahead of the Nuggets, while the Jazz team, which is 4th in the West, is only 2 wins, which can be said that the gap is very small.
Probably many fans also know that at the beginning of the season, Doncic's performance was very disappointing, his shooting efficiency in the game was not high, and the sense of presence was very low, it was difficult to take over the team's attack at key moments, and the overall performance of the individual was not ideal. Among the fastest-slipping players of the season by major media, Doncic is on the list. Compared to his performances over the past few seasons, Doncic's performance at the beginning of the season was unsatisfactory.
But Doncic, as a slow-heat player, often likes to use the game to improve himself and get himself into the best form. The same is true this season, except that it has taken longer games than in past seasons. After fully finding the game status, Doncic also showed his overall strength. In the last 10 games, Doncic has gradually improved, getting luxury data many times.
For example, in the face of the Raptors, he got 41 points, 14 rebounds and 7 assists, and before facing the Grizzlies, he also had 27 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists, this game the team met the Grizzlies again, and Doncic once again handed over 37 points, 11 rebounds and 9 assists. Compared with the beginning of the season, Doncic's current state has rebounded, and he has found the feeling of playing in the past, and his personal performance is very shining.
So far in the new season, Doncic has averaged 25.6 points, 8.8 rebounds and 8.7 assists per game, and his personal performance is still very comprehensive, while the Lone Rangers are currently in 5th place in the West, and they are not bad in terms of personal data and team records. For now, in my opinion, as Doncic's form picks up, plays efficient performances in succession, and leads the team to win the game, the competition for the MVP in the regular season this season should have him.
Personally, I think that as Doncic gradually adapts to the intensity of the league, I believe that in subsequent games, his performance will be more outstanding, re-playing the performance of the past two seasons, which is not difficult for Doncic, if it can be maintained, then this season's regular season MVP, Doncic also has the opportunity to compete.
