Dallas Mavericks rookie Luka Dončić wanted to show something against MVP James Harden last season.

"It's MVP," said Luka Dončić, who won the Houston Rockets at the Toyota Center after winning 128-108. "I had to do the right thing against him," he said. .

On this day Luka Dončić made what he wanted. He scored 20 points and six rebounds in 24 minutes and 17 seconds. We threw 11 shots and succeeded 6.

The three-point shot was seven impressive shots. I threw it in the side corner or tried it from a distance, and recorded a buzzer in the second quarter. In the third quarter, he threw a shot with a buzzer and came out into the rim.

"I like to shoot," he said with a smile. "It was a 0-7 backstage in the first half and I had to do something," he said.

Rick Carlisle said he was not surprised by the fact that he continues to practice shooting. Instead, he said, "We will not be aware of such a shot and will not take the season, but other players can do it, and when we do the right thing and strive hard, such a shot will follow, but we do not live for such a shot. The important thing is to keep them together and keep the ball from attacking and turning the ball from the attack. "

Dallas had three wins and eight losses in the first 11 games, but then rebounded with seven wins and one loss in eight games. Don Chichi said, "I think we needed time (to show it now), we are aiming for the playoffs, we are doing well, we have a lot of confidence in winning today. "He said.

Devon Harris, who scored six of his three-point shots on the day and had five of them, said, "It's still a long way to go, but I'm developing." "The attack needs to be improved, but the defense is getting better, I think the early start is sluggish, but I think I've caught up with it now, and I'm glad I'm doing well now, but I still have room for improvement."

Carlisle said, "We have to fight to keep the odds of 5-0, we have to fight the whole team and we have to prove that we have a lot to prove. I will prepare for the next game. "
