DALLAS – Luca Donsic doesn’t have many reasons to flash his contagious smile right now. He firmly believes in the commercial benefits of having fun at basketball., But it’s hard to do when his Dallas Mavericks lost 10 of their previous 13 games when he reported for work Saturday night at the American Airlines Center.
Help bring back Donik’s joy by doing Golden State Warriors star Stephen. Even in the empty field, there is nothing that powers the NBA atmosphere like curry cooking. That was certainly the case on Saturday, Curry was 11-19f-19 from the 3-point range and swelled with a flurry of silly shots that would blow you away on the way to 57 points.
Donsick happily accepted Curry’s stunning performance as a challenge. He reacted with an outing that reminded national television viewers why the 21-year-old MVP entered the season with the weight of expectations, matched his career high points and fired 11 hits to lead Dallas to the thrill – and desperately needed. – 134-132 wins.
“Obviously, going against Stephanie is fun,” Donsick said. “I used to have more fun playing the game to be who I used to be. I’ve just returned from enjoying the game.”
If you don’t enjoy Saturday’s competition, basketball may not be the game for you. Or maybe you’re just a bitter soul. How else to understand that you don’t smile when you see the transition pull-up from there to the exaggerated shoulder grease on the halfcourt logo? How could you not appreciate the artistic beauty of the best shooter in NBA history before the step-back 30-footer with his hands on his face?
“What Steve does is imaginative,” Donsick said. “I think every shot he’s going in when he shoots it. It’s unbelievable the way he plays this game, and it’s fun even if you’re on the opposing team.”
“He’s a guy I can pay a lot of money to watch the game,” Maves coach Rick Carisley said of Curry.
Doncic, who made the only curry path among the defenders in the early return of the Don L-Star poll, is certainly the second player to fit into that category. It’s not just Donsic’s ability to fill in the blanks – for example, it has all six 40-point, 10-assist performances in franchise history – and create highlights that make it worth buying tickets or at least turning on the TV. See. It’s entertaining with a rare flair for the moment, something in common with NBA legends that Karelil had seen before.
“The basketball floor is his stage,” Carlisle said of Donetsk. Guys like her – and I was around [Larry] Bird; I was around Reggie Miller – when someone else on the other team takes his game to the next level, you feel a responsibility, if you’re that kind of player. I saw the bird do it; I saw Miller doing that.
“You’ll just dig deeper. You’ll find a way to try to match the person and try to match the person for your team. And that’s exactly what he did.”
Donkey never allowed to capture complete control of the game. Definitely pulling when Curry was unbeaten, but Donsick kept answering. In this position: In the final 90 seconds of the second quarter, when we combined the 30-point half with the cutting layout in half and the long 3s and Donsick swiped 3 sandwiches through a pair of beautiful floaters, giving the Maves an eight-point lead at the break.
Donetsk, one of the league’s lowest percentage, high-volume long-distance gunners, shot like a splash brother on Saturday night. It was 7-of-12 from the 3-point range. And it got better as the innings got higher in the fourth quarter by scoring of of s as Maves revealed the rears, which left Dal Lass.5. With seven seconds left, a seven-point lead was given.
“His eyes lit up a little,” Curry said. “He made some big shots tonight.”
Of course, a seven-point lead with a key is not safe in sizzle mode. Curry reduced Maves’ advantage to four points after seconds after Dremond Green (a point center who had another 15 consecutive consecutive performances and who was the point center). Also Is a pleasure to watch). Then, all of a sudden, it was a one-point game, followed by Curry with 280 seconds left, and danced in Larry for a 1-layout and went down the street.
Imagine the pressure Maves felt at that moment, after the NAB lost 12 consecutive one-on-one games, the third longest in history, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
That streak, it’s worth noting, only includes regular-season games. You will remember that Doncaster put an exclamation point on the playoff masterpiece by hitting step back 3 to beat the overtime buzzer in the 4th game of the last season. Donsick had a 43-point triple-double that night, when he was suspected about 36 hours ago due to a sprained ankle; It was a performance that dispelled any doubts about being in the best discussion of the era league.
During Saturday night’s crunch, Veri Rivers decided not to let the clock tick as the clock ticked down, scoring a distance of 30 feet from its dive. Donik took advantage of the trick, accepting the challenge by delivering a bounce pass to Maxi Kleber, who hit dagger 3 alone in the corner.
“It’s just polished,” Kare said, tipping his hat off Donetsk. “He showed up after his rookie year, and he’s gotten better. And who knows how high the ceiling is for him?”
It will be fun to find out.
