Doncic: I will try to average 40 points per game but it will be difficult. Reeves thinks I can do it because he is stupid

In the NBA Cup group stage, the Lakers defeated the Grizzlies 117-112.

After the game, Doncic talked in an interview about whether he could average 40 points per game this season: "It's difficult, but like I said, the more the opponent wants to double-team me, the more I want to score. I think I made three or four shots that I thought were crazy. I will try to do it, but it is difficult to do."

The reporter replied: "Reeves said you can do it."

Doncic replied: "That's because he is stupid."

In this campaign, Doncic played 38 minutes and 49 seconds, making 14 of 27, including 6 of 15 three-pointers, 10 of 13 free throws, and scored 44 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists, with a plus-minus value of -2.

In the first three games of the season, Doncic averaged 45.3 points, 11.7 rebounds, and 7.7 assists per game, and his shooting percentage was as high as 58.4%.
