11月3日,24直播网报道,近日,著名主持人Rachel Nichols在《体育画报》的《The Story》栏目中,就湖人队明星球员东契奇在本赛季防守端的转变进行了深入探讨。
Rachel Nichols强调道:“Throughout the years, my broadcasts have consistently highlighted Luka Doncic's exceptional defensive prowess in the playoffs. It's evident that when the stakes are high, he consistently commits fully to both offense and defense. Yet, for so long, I've yearned for the playoff version of Doncic to manifest itself in November. And this season, he has truly delivered.”
在提及湖人队与多伦多猛龙队的先前对决时,Rachel Nichols强调了一个不同寻常的成就。东契奇在这场比赛中贡献了惊人的45分,这是他连续第四场比赛得分突破40分。然而,她指出,对她而言,更具意义的统计数据出现在比赛的反面。东契奇在防守端摘下了15个篮板,全部为防守篮板,并且还贡献了5次抢断以及3次迫使对手犯规。自联盟十多年前开始记录此类数据以来,尚无任何球员能在一场比赛中同时实现5次抢断和3次进攻犯规的壮举。换言之,东契奇独自一人就迫使猛龙队出现了8次失误。
