In the second year of Doncic's career, the average number of data per game was comparable to that of the peak Link. At this time, there was only one voice in his mind: "Who am I? Where am I? What should I do?"

Doncic had already entered the youth training system of professional basketball clubs when he was in his teens. He knew better than most of his peers what professional basketball games were.

Perhaps this is why, he can adapt to the NBA faster than the rookies of the same class.

But in the playoffs, this is indeed a completely new area for Doncic.

He has never played such a strong game. Compared with all other games, the playoffs have been improved by one level!

At this time, Link had already taken the ball and rushed up.

Little Hardaway spread his arms nervously, his body was very tight, and he felt like he was filled with lead.

Although Hardaway Jr. is one of the longest-time players in the Mavericks, he has only played twice in the playoffs, totaling 15 games.

That little bit of experience is obviously not enough to deal with the Grizzlies.

Link slowed down as he approached the three-point line, as if he wanted to organize the offense slowly.

Seeing this, little Hardaway also relaxed.

But just as his tense nerves just relaxed, Link suddenly changed from static, and then accelerated a small change of direction, easily passing by Xiao Hardaway.

Little Hardaway's mind was blank, and Link's first step was incredibly fast!

Is he really a 32-year-old player?

Moreover, I had just relaxed and was actually caught by Link. I couldn’t give any loopholes!

Not only did Hardaway, but the entire Mavericks' defense did not react.

So, when Link broke through to the middle distance and made a jump shot easily, the Mavericks didn't even assist in defense.

Link will not miss this opportunity without any interference.

He shot the ball steadily and his shooting movements were extremely comfortable.

Just an ordinary jump shot, it was pleasing to the eye for fans.

The moment Link scored, Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle suspended the game.

Because at this time, the score has become 14 to 0!

The Dallas Mavericks have not yet scored!

From Doncic to Porzingis, the entire Mavericks seemed to be lost.

"Beautiful jump shot, Link is only the second time today, but the Grizzlies have already taken a 14-point lead. Coach Carlisle had to shout a stop to the game. If these young people can't stabilize their mentality, they will collapse faster!"

After the timeout, Doncic looked up at the score, feeling helpless.

From Green's first dunk to Link's later stealing, to Link's breakthrough just now...

Did the Mavericks make a big mistake? Actually, it didn't.

But as long as they have a small flaw or a slight flaw, they will be caught and beaten by the grizzly bear!

In the first round, the Grizzlies mercilessly misplaced.

The second time, Doncic was snatched away in a daze.

Just now, Little Hardaway just relaxed a little and was taken away by Link.

Is this the playoffs?

In the regular season, the Grizzlies may not be so radical.

But in the playoffs, your opponent will grab every weakness and hit hard, until you hurt, until you have no power to fight back, until the moment the game whistle sounds, and until they finally win!

These are two completely different concepts from the playoffs and regular season.

Doncic feels that he understands the playoffs a little, but...

What's the use? At the moment, the Mavericks have no room for fight back.

During the time of suspension, Rick Carlisle set up several tactics for Porzingis, hoping that he could use his height and speed to hit Jokic's head a few times to help the Mavericks stop the bleeding in time.

"That's how the playoffs are. If you retreat, your opponent will get more and more aggressive! Be tough and let them know that we are not here to send warmth!"

After drawing the tactics, Carlisle yelled in a rare sight, very strict.

After the players returned to the game, Nowitzki, who was wearing casual clothes, shook his head: "Is it necessary to be so strict with them? They are still young. And... the strength gap between the two sides is really big."

"Yes, but you have to let them fight once before they know what a real fight is. From today on, the 'happy childhood' of those guys is over." Carlisle shrugged. He could no longer use the requirements of rebuilding the team to fight this team.

The outside world says that the Mavericks are in a bad mood, and they meet the Grizzlies for the first time in the playoffs in these years.

But in Carlisle's view, the Grizzlies are exactly the best opponent.

They best reflect the cruel side of the playoffs.

Although he is the head coach of the Mavericks, what Carlisle is thinking about now is - to hit, beat hard, and hit the Mavericks!

The game started again, and Link and his teammates reappeared.

The Mavericks took the lead in attacking. Doncic took the ball carefully in front of Link this time, but was a little overly careful. He didn't even dare to do some basic dribbling movements.

At this time, Porzingis, who was originally leaning against Doncic in the inside, suddenly turned around and cut into the inside. At this time, as long as Doncic threw the ball into the air, he could directly play an aerial contact with Porzingis.

In the regular season, they have never scored in this way.

But this time, when Porzingis cut into the inside, he did not see the basketball flying over his head.

Doncic did not pass the ball, so he dared not pass the ball!

In the regular season, Doncic can play various bold and wonderful passes. But now, Doncic is hesitant.

And opportunities on the basketball court are often a matter of a moment, and hesitation is gone.

Off the field, Carlisle sighed silently.

Although the game has just started, Doncic has been completely pinned by Link today.

There was no choice but to run back to the three-point line to meet, and Doncic dared to send the ball out.

The ball was successfully passed without any mistakes. But now the opportunity Porzingis has won is far less than as good as before.

Porzingis confronted Jokic outside the three-point line. He made two three-threatening moves, tricking Jokic into the center of gravity and then killing the inside.

Taking his own big step, Porzingis entered the penalty area in just a few seconds and prepared to dunk.

But at this moment, Jamie Green stood in front of the basket.

He covered his crotch with both hands, obviously trying to make a foul on Porzingis!

Porzingis can't stop the car now. He just sprinted with all his strength, and the impact was obvious.

Jamie Green is coming now, it's total suicide!

Porzingis himself was also scared. Green might have his ribs broken if he did this!

But Green still resolutely, and as long as it is what he thinks he should do, he will not hesitate.

This is the essential difference between him and Doncic.

"Bang!"

The two strong men collided head-on, just like two armored vehicles fighting each other head-on.

Jamie Green was directly knocked out of the bottom line. Porzingis was so big that he couldn't stop the car at all, and it was not something Green could resist.

But at this time, the referee also blew the whistle in his mouth.

Porzingis dribbled the ball and hit someone, and an offensive foul was made.

Grizzlies ball rights!

"Brave Green, he used his flesh and blood to build a defense line and successfully dismantled the first attack after the Mavericks came back from the timeout!"

Looking at Green, who was obviously hit hard but was lying on the ground and waving his arms after hearing the whistle, Doncic had goose bumps.

The Mavericks are here to play basketball, but the Grizzlies are here to play hard.

The Grizzlies' temperament and approach are gradually infecting the Mavericks, which is what Carlisle wants.

There is no team that is more suitable to be a role model than the Grizzlies.

But Carlisle is now full of dark lines. No matter how powerful the other party is, what the hell is that those guys can't get a point...

This is a bit embarrassing.

After Porzingis dribbled the ball and hit the man, the Grizzlies' offense continued to oppress the young Mavericks.

This time, Jokic used a pass from behind the head outside the three-point line that was not looking at people, and found Link who was reaching the right bottom corner.

Doncic was stunned by this goal. In the fierce playoffs, where did Jokic get the courage to pass such a ball?

Because the ball was passed too secretly, Link was leaked again.

He hit the ball when he catches the ball, and three-pointers into the net, 17-0!

"It seems that Link really can't wait to win the championship. As soon as he came up today, he took the lead and tried to kill the Mavericks!"

One round later, the Grizzlies made a comeback.
