Doncic was wearing a towel on his head, and he was in a daze throughout the game today.

From youth teams to adult teams, from Europe to NBAs, Doncic is always the one who adapts the fastest in the new environment.

No matter what kind of game he can play with.

But this time, in front of the playoffs, Doncic felt that he was really powerless for the first time.

This rough game, unprecedented intensity and the fatal and dense attack of the Grizzlies all made Doncic breathless.

As soon as the first quarter came, he was beaten 20 to 0, and the Mavericks were stunned at that time.

After that, the Mavericks did not bottom out and rebounded. The Grizzlies were in control of the game from beginning to end, and did not give the Mavericks any chance to counterattack.

In the playoffs, it's just so unkind.

So now, when the game is at the end of the fourth quarter, Doncic no longer needs to play again.

Because at this time, the Dallas Mavericks were already 31 points behind the Grizzlies!

Today's game started from the first second to now, the Mavericks have never gained a single point lead, and garbage time has almost started when the first quarter is over.

The gap between the two sides is so big that it is desperate.

Not only the Mavericks are desperate, but Mike Brynn is also desperate. He doesn't know how to explain the game in the third quarter of the game!

Only when the Grizzlies fans watching the game on the spot were enjoyable, they didn’t care whether the scene was exciting. As long as they could win and see Link, it was worth the ticket price.

Doncic had known that this game would be difficult, but he didn't expect it to be like this.

In front of the Grizzlies in the playoffs, today's Mavericks are like a Development League team.

The Grizzlies seem to be one level stronger than them.

Doncic's own performance today can also be called the scene of a car accident.

This superstar, who averaged 28.7 points, 9.3 rebounds, 8.7 assists in the regular season, only scored 16 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists today. Among them, the shooting percentage was less than 40%, and the mistakes were as many as 5 times.

Doncic's performance is hard to be excellent, he was completely locked by Link!

In the regular season, Doncic can always control the game as he pleases and play gorgeous data. But in the playoffs, every data you have to match will be obtained.

On the other hand, although the regular season data is similar to that of Doncic in the second grade, Link is still able to maintain his regular season level in the playoffs, which is enough to illustrate the problem.

Therefore, data is not the only criterion for determining a player's strength.

Sometimes data can lie, whoever can kill the game is the real strong man.

Carlisle looked at Doncic without saying a word, a little worried.

He didn't expect the Grizzlies to fight so much.

I obviously just wanted these little guys to see the intensity and cruelty of the playoffs, but I didn't know that the Grizzlies were so disrespectful...

If this battle directly defeats Doncic's confidence, what can we do in the future?

Nowitzki looked at Doncic, not knowing how to comfort him.

Thinking back to the time when the Grizzlies were tortured to death by the calf, Link had never been so depressed.

Even without being in the upper hand, Link will still launch a mad attack and give all his hope for a slim hope.

Anyway, Nowitzki doesn't remember Link having a state like Doncic back then.

Maybe that's how Link differs from most people.

Not everyone has his blood.

Doncic was in a daze, and the harsh electronic beeping made his thoughts return to the court.

This European genius slowly looked up and looked at the score.

133 to 101, it’s simply ruthless!

You don’t need to look at it and you know that this is definitely the first game day of the playoffs, the biggest score difference!

"The competition is finally over!"

Mike Bryn raised his arms and cheered, and he didn't know why he emphasized the word "final".

This is definitely the most difficult game he has ever encountered in his commentary career!

Everyone will have a longing for their first time, but the first playoff journey of the Mavericks will obviously not leave them any good memories.

Doncic stood up, weak and prepared to leave this sad place.

Nothing he fantasized about before the game did happen.

No one is following, no one can turn the tide, no miracles, no one can become famous in one battle.

He and the calf were like an ant, and they did not have any power to fight against an elephant.

At this time, Link, who had played halfway through the third quarter, walked towards Doncic.

Doncic clenched his fists, he was ready to be mocked by Link until his death.

However, Link did not exude fragrance, but walked up and touched Doncic's head.

"I'm really disappointed, Luca, I thought the game would be more interesting."

Doncic curled his lips, okay, still mocked.

"I don't think you've figured out the situation yet. This is the playoffs, man. Do you see how we play? At all costs, you will never be merciful. Like a mad dog, biting the opponent desperately! This is the playoffs, this is my favorite part of the year!"

"But what about you? In my opinion, you have given up after being played 20-0. Listen, the playoffs will not give up. If you give up, you will miss the championship all your life. This is not the regular season, you cannot expect to easily win. Honor is exchanged for blood and sweat."

"Today I will give you a lesson, free. If you really want to make a difference in this alliance, it's better not to be so depressed."

After saying that, Link turned around and left, then rushed to the fans to celebrate the good start of the playoffs.

Doncic stood there, looking at Link's back, a little surprised.

He didn't know why Link was saying this to him, but he made up his mind silently that he would not hear the words "I'm very disappointed" from Link's mouth again.

"What is Link doing?" Rick Carlisle looked at Link and Doncic, very curious.

Link has always been a cold-blooded person against his opponent. He rarely talks with his opponent for so long after the game.

"Obviously, he is giving Luka some practical advice." Nowitzki spread his hands and smiled.

"Why did he do that?"

"Why? No. . It's like back then, I didn't know why I told Link to tell him not to give up after winning the game. Maybe he really liked Luca, just like I liked him back then."

Dirk stood up with his waist on his back. Another cycle of reincarnation is about to begin?

Link’s successor... Maybe this time, everyone is right.

The game between the Grizzlies and the Mavericks was unexpectedly... boring!

If the Grizzlies' opponents in the playoffs are like this, Link's retirement progress will be accelerated.

However, in the next three games, the Dallas Mavericks showed unexpected state.

In the second game at the Federal Express Arena, the Mavericks fell 25 points behind in the half.

But in the second half, Luca Doncic led the team to launch a crazy counterattack.

Doncic is much stronger than the first battle. He did not feel depressed, but instead showed his determination to fight the Grizzlies to the death.

Seeing Doncic counterattacking, Link was not only not nervous, but was happy.

This is like the playoffs!

Although in the end, the Mavericks still lost the game 118-126. Doncic's 23 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists were enough to make Dallas fans feel relieved.

Doncic, a second-year student, got his first triple-double in the playoffs.

Of course, everyone knows that this will not be the last one.

After this game, Link praised Doncic's performance in front of the media: "He is now a real fighter."

In the last two games in Dallas, the Mavericks still had a hard time playing.

They were in a mess and were always knocked down by the Grizzlies' heavy punches again and again.

But in the same way, they could get up again and again and continue to say to the grizzly bears: "I'm not dead yet!"

However, in the face of the Grizzlies' stronger hard power, the total score of the series still became 4 to 0.

In Dallas, the Mavericks did not win even a single game.

Doncic and Porzingis' first playoff journey ended in a hurry.

However, the difference in the Mavericks' loss in the last three games was smaller than the other.

In the last game, the Mavericks only lost 5 points! If Link hadn't entered "Link Time" again at the last moment, the Grizzlies might have really capsized.

Although he was eliminated, Doncic was not depressed. On the contrary, he was very happy that he met Link who played in the last playoffs and he gained a lot!

What about Link? After winning 4-0, he did not humiliate the Mavericks, but told reporters: "To be honest, the Mavericks are more troublesome than I thought. Especially Luca, I believe that he will be a very difficult person in the playoffs in the future."

Doncic also responded at the post-match press conference: "I learned a lot from Link. He is the best opponent I have ever met. Now, I can watch Link's journey to the four consecutive championships with peace of mind!"

Doncic ended his mission this season and found a way to fight in the playoffs.
Chapter completed!
