Austin Reaves prefers to see Luka Doncic on fire as a teammate of the Lakers who as an opponent

After a slow beginning to join the Los Angeles Lakers, Luka Doncic has begun to look more than usual in recent games.

Doncic caught early on the The Lakers Victory over Denver Nuggets on Wednesday nightscoring 21 points only in the first quarter to build a great advantage. It ended ending with 31 points, eight rebounds, seven assists, two robberies and two blocks despite being left out the last quarter.

Austin Reaves has definitely enjoyed playing with Doncic, stating the obvious that seeing his scoring outbreak as a teammate is much better than as an opponent.

“It’s a lot of fun. It is much better in this way than the alternative,” Reaves said. “Trying to protect it in these situations is almost impossible because it shoots at 3 very well. He is willing to shoot at the middle range and reach the cup, but his death probably, in my opinion, one of his best attributes, so you always have to stay at home unless you want you good “.

In fact, when Doncic makes it operate offensively, Reaves believes that he should shoot even more than he.

“It’s amazing. He continues to play the game in the right way and, to be honest, he wanted him to continue shooting him because they called him at a higher pace,” Reaves said. “As I said, he plays the game in the right way. If you bombard it, he is not trying to run big. He is throwing him to the open guy and letting us play 4 against 3, so it makes it quite easy when you play in the right way.”

Doncic has shown that he can improve all his teammates, since when he has it, the teams are forced to make double team. That leads his teammates to be open and that Guys as Reaves took it to the fullest.

“It’s fun. As I just said, it attracts so much attention on the offensive side that would say 90% of the time, you have to bombard it,” Reaves added. “As I said, he makes the right game every time, so he is not trying to force him. If they put two on the ball, he hits the roller and then allows us to play four in three. That is the basketball advantage, as we say, in a place we want to play.

“You need to stop taking my money and the letters of the plane. It has been, as I said, a lot of fun, and I hope to continue increasing that relationship.”
