Doncic hit 49+11+8 to win his first victory! He couldn’t get off the line of fire despite a finger injury, setting the first record in Lakers history

On October 25, the new NBA regular season continues. In today's Western Conference focus game, the Lakers defeated the Timberwolves at home and achieved their first victory of the new season!

In the absence of James, the Lakers were able to win today, and Doncic was naturally indispensable. Doncic once again had a crazy performance today. In the whole game, Doncic started for 35 minutes and made 14 of 23 shots, including 5 of 10 three-pointers and 16 of 19 free throws. He scored a total of 49 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists, in addition to 3 turnovers.

Before the game started, the US media listed a set of data. Doncic scored 10,000+ points, 3,000+ rebounds and 3,000+ assists in the first six seasons, becoming the third in history. The first two were James and Oscar Robinson. At the beginning of the first quarter, the Lakers quickly fell into a 0-6 deficit. Doncic then came on full fire. He scored 23 points in the first quarter (8 of 12, 4 of 7 three-pointers, 3 of 5 free throws), tying the first quarter scoring record in Lakers history held by Kobe and Kuzma.

In the second quarter of the game, there was a heart-wrenching scene on the court. Due to a finger contusion caused by cutting the ball in the first quarter, Doncic received emergency treatment from the team doctor on the sidelines during the break. Doncic showed a very painful expression. However, Doncic still scored 9 points in the second quarter, including 7 of 7 free throws. He scored 32 points in the first half alone, helping the Lakers catch up!

It should be noted that this is the second time Doncic has scored 30 points or more in a half with the Lakers, and he is the fourth player in team history to do so, comparable to Kobe Bryant (28 times), James (4 times), and O'Neal (2 times). Nowitzki, the Mavericks star who came to watch the game, said: "I'll put it right now: Doncic will definitely win the league's scoring title this year, and he will lead the league in scoring. Are you dissatisfied? Do you have the ability to refute it?"

In the second half of the game, Doncic helped his teammates find their form more. In the third quarter, he only made 1 of 2 shots and 4 of 4 free throws, scoring 6 points. However, he sent 4 assists in a single quarter, helping the Lakers withstand the Timberwolves' counterattack. In the final quarter of the game, Doncic quickly scored his 40th point, and scored consecutively to help the Lakers continue to open up the score, and finally helped the Lakers usher in their first home victory of the new season. The record became 1 win and 1 loss.

It should be noted that Doncic became the first player in the history of the Lakers to score at least 40 points in the first two games of the season. He is the fourth player in the history of the league. The first three are Chamberlain (5 consecutive games in the 61-62 season and 7 consecutive games in the 62-63 season), Jordan (86-87) and Big Eyebrow (16-17). At the same time, 49 points set a new Lakers career high for Doncic!
