Recently Doncic rushed to Greece to attend a Jordan brand party, and he lost weight by the naked eye.

Recently, Doncic rushed to Greece to attend a Jordan brand party. He lost weight so much that his chin became obviously sharper.

If the former sharpshooter "Ah Q" Richardson who took the photo did not have a beauty face.

This is probably the slimest state of Doncic since 2021. It can be seen how much effort he has spent to manage his body after being eliminated by the Timberwolves on May 1.

Unlike the state where the stars were lying on the moon when they were in the Mavericks, when they came to the Lakers and Los Angeles, Doncic knew that they could no longer spend the offseason as comfortable as they once were, especially before they won the championship for the Lakers.

This team has the most fans in the world and the most popular popularity. Any tiny details will be magnified countless times and then discussed.

Kobe's "The real Lakers don't need to be recruited" is still rising. Not any star is willing to live in the microscope and spotlight 24 hours a day.

Back to Doncic, he is now enjoying the meticulous care and attention of the top super giants, and even neglected LeBron James to a certain extent.

The whole world knows that he is the top genius among the younger generation this year, and he has defeated both fiba and nba worlds with his own strength. Not only did he win the European Cup and Champions League in Europe, he is also the active single-game scoring record holder and the only creator of 60+20+10 in the NBA.

Recalling the shock of the whole world when the Lakers got him five months ago, you should understand that his quality will never disappoint.

The biggest hidden danger for him in the Lakers is that he fell into the "Harden-style" trap, that is, while

reaping a large amount of personal honors, he was unable to win the championship.

This is not alarmist, nor is it deliberately belittle Harden.

In fact, even though Harden did not win the championship in the Rockets in his nine years, he was able to compete with other super giants after Jendoulku just because of his regular season performance.

In the second decade of the 21st century in 2010-2019, James Harden scored 20209 points in the regular season, ranking first in the league during the same period, surpassing Jandouku, Leonard, Paul George and others.

also received a regular season MVP, three scoring kings, one assist king, six league first and second teams, and eight All-Stars.

But as soon as the playoffs arrived, Harden's overall record turned into 64 wins and 62 losses, and his average game data also dropped from 26.7 points, 5.6 rebounds, 6.8 assists and 44.5% in the regular season to 24.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 42.6%.

Especially compared with his 60+ triple-double, trial shot, 32 consecutive games, and averaging 36.1 points per game in a single season (second only to Baylor in the 1961-62 season and Jordan in the 1986-87 season), what he left behind in the playoffs were "scenes" such as watching Lillard win, blocked by Old Manu, and being eliminated by Curry and the Warriors four times in five years.

Why Harden's reputation has been so polarized over the years is that those who love him are impressed by his super-strong leadership ability in the regular season, while those who hack him only see his mischievous mistresses again and again in the playoffs.

And Luca's resume in the Mavericks is actually very similar to Harden's resume in the Rockets.

In just one year, the management was impressed and willing to build a team with him as the core.

Absolute ball-holding and nuclear-powered play, with extremely impressive data. Harden has 60+ triple-double, while Luca has 60+20+10. Harden has 36.1 points in a single season, while Luca has 73 points in a single game and first place in active service.

Almost invincible in the same position, Harden has been on the first six times in seven years, and Luca has been on the first five consecutive years + All-Star starts.

Luka led the team to one Western Conference Finals and one final, and Harden led the team to two Western Conference Finals, one of which forced the nearly invincible four-star Warriors to a desperate situation.

Luca had Irving around when he played the best, and Paul around when Harden led the team with the best record.

Although Doncic's nickname is "Luka Magic" and he has LeBron around him, he is still the most like the Rockets in the first half of his career or his personal style of play. There is an old Chinese saying that people can understand gains and losses.

Whether Luca himself or the current Lakers, they should get a lot of inspiration from Harden, especially the Rockets' career history.

①The lower limit of the ball-holding nuclear style is very high, but the upper limit is not too high

Harden averaged 53 wins in the regular season in the Rockets in eight full seasons, with a winning rate of 64.6%, which is a very amazing team-leading record.

, while Luca averaged 46 wins in the five seasons of leading the team in the Mavericks (excluding rookie year), with a maximum annual winning rate of 63.4% (two reduced seasons).

It can be said that the Rockets' landing in the regular season is still far greater than Luca.

But when the playoffs arrive, Luca's ability will rise further, and there has been almost no so-called "black spot battle" in the past five years.

is still with Jordan, the only two players who average 30+ points per game in the playoffs.

But in fact, the two people encountered the same trouble in the end.

When the playoffs come back and face the league's top defensive teams and pour out absolute defensive resources on him, such teams with them as their absolute core often have situations where others cannot stand up.

Although Luca does not have the so-called "lowest performance" compared to Harden, in fact, no matter whether facing the Warriors in 22 years or the Celtics in 24 years, when personal firepower cannot be continued, the team will inevitably panic in scoring..

They played the most comfortable and performed the team at the best time. They were all-star-level attackers such as Paul, Bronson, and Irving. Even though Dongzi was in Real Madrid when he was young, he also had the Argentine demon star Campazo.

②The lineup configuration is "three must not be missing", pick-and-roll fifth position, 3D forward line, and top-quality deputy controller

Compared with the 18 Rockets and the 22 and 24 Mavericks, we can see similar configurations of the three teams.

pick-and-roll type 5 position: Capela/Possess (playoff reimbursement/Lefley+Gafford)

3D forward group: Ariza + Bamott + Gerald Green + Shoe King/Electric Fan + Brock/P.J. Washington + Jones Jr. + Josh Green

The best deputy controller: Paul + Erden Ge/Bronson + Brother Ding/Irving

Although none of these three teams reached the top in the end, it is a lineup configuration that can maximize the influence of personal game.

The Lakers in the future are destined to take this path.

③ The player's physical loss is too large, and the flowering period is short. There will definitely be someone who says that Harden's flowering period is short. Last season, 36-year-old Deng still led the Clippers to enter the playoffs and then to the All-Star.

But anyone with a discerning eye understands that Harden has now degenerated into the first point guard in the organization, rather than the "top double-energy guard" who was simply killing people and scoring more than drinking water.

Harden's physical condition has declined significantly since 2020, which is due to the fact that his personal life is not self-disciplined and addicted to nightclubs, but in fact, the losses caused by the Rockets' concentrated ball play for so many years are also obvious.

Since the 2021 Eastern Conference Semi-Finals, and the minor injuries that hit after arriving in Philadelphia, even though Iron Man played in 79 games last season, the end-of-span ability can be seen to decline.

has proved that Harden's physical ability is no longer comparable to that in the past.

Although Luca is just over 26 years old, he is actually a "veteran" who has been playing in the professional arena for ten years.

He is even less self-disciplined in his personal physical management than Harden at the time. Brother Deng is addicted to nightclubs and big butts, while Luka cannot control his mouth.

It can be said that over the years, fans have watched him go from a noble man with a jade-like man to a greasy middle-aged man with double chins.

Greedy is often easier to destroy an athlete's body than lust.

At the same time, don't forget that Doncic has another additional loss compared to Harden, which is the national team competition.

Every offseason, he almost always represents the Slovenian national team in international competitions such as the European Cup, World Cup, and Olympics. His situation is comparable to Chairman Yao who frequently traveled to the Pacific Ocean back and forth.

Lakers fans must not think that the future is promising. Dongzi's golden period may only be in these few years.
