Before today's game between the Spurs and the Mavericks, coach Popovich commented on Doncic's 61 points, 21 rebounds and 10 assists against the Knicks in an interview: "There are always moments in our lives that you think are impossible. And this is undoubtedly one of them.
Our goal is not to let him score 50 points in the game tomorrow. "
Everyone knows that this is the cold humor of Mr. Pop, but Doncic may have just arrived and has not experienced the "cow horse war" when Mars hit the earth, so he may take it seriously.
In today's Spurs game, he scored 51 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists, helping the Dallas Mavericks beat the San Antonio Spurs 126-125 in an away game. Even the old man was unwilling to satisfy such a "humble" wish.
Today, the Spurs team stood bravely until the last minute. In the end, the Mavericks relied on free throws to barely win. But looking at the fierce and talented Doncic on the opposite side, what Popovich may be thinking the most is:
Do I still have the chance to have such a genius in my life?
