Some of us agreed to say that the little genius would eat a strange door for his baptism of fire in the Playoffs, it must be said that fading the trio Patoche Beverley – Paul George – Kawhi Leonard from the start, that was not a gift. Luka did eat a door, stayed groggy for three minutes, then he pulled the lever and he made history once again. One more time.
It’s the story of a kid frozen by pressure and targeted by three of the best defenders in the League. A catastrophic start, we are talking about a team led 18-2 after four minutes anyway, and a supposed genius who already counts … five stray balls at the aperitif. Nightmare to come we say to ourselves, but it would be bad to know the beast. Because very quickly it’s the real Luka Doncic who returns to the floor, here with great step-back blows, here with millimeter passing for his Latvian or German friends, and the stats line suddenly becomes more familiar. Just the column of stray balls that grows as fast as a balloon that is filled with water, but Lulu’s game is a risky game, we know. The aforementioned trio very quickly had no solution to counter the bulimia of the ROY 2019, and as if by magic the Mavs then took the lead. Aggressiveness to go scratching throws, voluptuousness and lack of respect on his long shots, SuperLuka gives us the total, he gives us his special, so that very quickly we start talking about records, once again, for a kid who starts casually to have a good collection to his credit.
42 points at 13/21 shooting including 2/6 from early parking and 14/15 throwing, 7 rebounds, 9 assists, 3 steals and 11 steals in 38 minutes
A line of stats finally usual for the crackito, but despite the defeat, we are talking about it right here, it is he who is making the news on Tuesday morning. Why ? Because he quite simply became last night the player to have scored the most points for a first career Playoff game, passing at the same time some no names like Magic Johnson, Tracy McGrady or LeBron James. One more accomplishment in his very young career, and if the most grievers will prefer to point the finger at the defeat of the Mavs, just tell yourself that it is time to take advantage of it because when the little one will start to win it will be necessary to get up early to catch a game.
Another record then, the 437th approximately, and a series that could well be even more interesting than expected if Kristaps Porzingis and the refs do not decide to screw everything up. Luka Doncic, he doesn’t care, because in any case we started on a 36/10/10 series, as if everything were easy for him, and it becomes almost annoying.
