Dereck Lively & Derrick Jones React to Luka Doncic 50 Point Christmas Night vs. Suns: “He’s Magic!”



Dereck Lively & Derrick Jones React to Luka Doncic 50 Point Christmas Night vs. Suns: “He’s Magic!”

Y got any words to describe what Luka did tonight amazing magic how do you how how does a man put up 50 when he’s being double team pretty much the entire game I wish I knew I mean I guess I guess it helps when you know he trusts his teammates that as as

Much as he does and you know we when we play and get downhill and make plays for others and and do what we supposed to do it makes his job a lot easier they can’t help as much and they can’t leave everybody to to go double like they want

To so I mean that and then that gives him those one-on-one uh situations and we all know how he thrives with those one-on-one situation so Luca with anybody guarding him I’m living with it that that kind of sum up your game where you did miss some threes early he miss

Some some shots in the corner then he hit some Jason kid credited you as you know hitting a huge three that kind of led to you guys searching back into the lead you know finished off some drives what is what is this environment you know playing next to luga playing on

This team playing in this coaching step led to just the confidence to to stick with it and and you know not turn down uh for me like I said since day one since I got here I mean they’ve been they’ve been pushing me to be who I want

To be and and they they tell me to take the shots that I get and if I ain’t got the shot and drive make a play for somebody else if I don’t got that then try to get to a dho and get in the

Pocket if I can but I mean for the most part I just like I said I just take all the easy shots that I get and keep it a real simple game Mr LLY you’ve missed a couple games recently now you’re coming back first B how do you feel out there

Obviously you look look like you had miss you know just being able to know that my teammates trust me to make plays you know there was times where I caught the ball in some uncomfortable situations but I still got to be able to tack the rim you know there’s sometimes

Where I’m passing the ball out and people are yelling me yelling at me because I’m passing it you know they just want me to put pressure on the rim and just to go dunk the ball so being able to know that people are yelling at

Me to pass it just makes me that much more confident to just go score the ball you did you have obviously you had hopes but did you realistically expect that you were going to become this uh important Cog at such a tender Age and what 20 games into your 30 games into

Your career uh no you just got to be thankful thankful for the work thankful for my teammates thankful for my coaches just being able to know that the work works you know being in the gym twice a day every day being able to watch film

Every day work on your body work on your mind work on your timing it all Stacks up so whenever you stack the days it kind of makes everything fall into place hey dere wanted to ask you about dere Booker Booker end of the first quarter

Only had two points you guys did like a really good defensive job on tonight kind of was the game plan that kind of uh keep him try to keep him off his spots it the same thing for him and Kevin um just try to keep him off their

Spots always throw bodies at them make sure that they got a crowd in front of them so that they don’t just get a easy straight line drive to the rim uh it was just basically just to put put bodies in front of them make it a make it a

Crowded game and then on the other side that too um I believe it was in the third quarter really you kind of just speak about like his strengths you know he’s really not known for going out he mostly known like you talking about Grayson uh he just was hitting the shots

That he got and and congratulations to him he he he did what he supposed to do yeah I mean we you got to live with some of that honestly if if Devin Booker and Kevin Durant isn’t the ones that thought they getting 40 I’m living with it you

Guys are 30 games into it right now your thoughts just on where this team is in the big picture I think we’re an amazing team you know I feel like we have a lot of trust in each other I feel like we no matter what moments it seem like the

Seem like a lot of things are going on the court seems like a lot of emotions seem like a lot of energies just going higher and higher and higher that just makes us go together you know I feel like there was a there were some moments

Whenever they went on a run tonight and we just brought it together and be like look you know we’re only down a couple points we’ve been in this position many times and we know what to do we trust the past we trust the next pass and we

Trust each player to make the right decision one thing that seemed to happen throughout the game especially in the fourth quarter was you guys were able to get open inside the pain close luk being Luka found you you talk about how you guys were do that well I mean if they

Going to double Luca it’s a four on three you know it’s a simple math being able to know that there’s a there’s a lot of people who’s going to try to stop Luca from scoring the ball so it’s our turn to score the ball whenever he gives

It to us so being able to know that either we’re going to get Corner threes we’re going to get one more threes going to get dunks or layups at The Rim it’s just trying of just finding an open find an open man and making the right

Play as as Defenders is is it important that you now have a a defensive player the year candidate in uh in Luca he seems to think that he’s telling us that he wants some yes yeah yeah just wanted to check just wanted to check as long as I get on

First or second team I’m fine with it y could give him defensive play the year taller Derek Luka Luka also thinks that your hook shot isn’t as I think he doesn’t think it counts as a hook shot your is a hook shot he says yours is a

Half hook baby hook he says he might teach you baby hooks go in I’ll live with that baby hooks go in you know he did have 50 I had 20 so you know you know he might be right he’s probably right so I guess I’ll listen it seem

Like he’s a better Defender too man got four steals three blocks Dam I know trust me he pointed that out oh trust me he pointed that out but man if he’s going to have a game like that we’ll keep living like that you know he can be the best defensive player

And the best offensive player out there MVP two-way player yes sir you’ve seen a lot in this league what do you think about the groove that l in right now that’s amazing uh honestly me personally I have never been on a team where someone is scoring the ball like this at

Such a high rate and also getting his teammates involved and making sure that everybody feels comfortable on the floor uh like I said it’s it’s incredible it’s amazing I have never seen this before thanks guys thank You Oh

  1. feels like there is good vibes in the mavs locker room! hope we'll get to see how they hold up against some top tier teams in the playoffs..

  2. These 2 are game changers for the mavs! You wouldn't think that 1 being a rookie and the other being irrelevant on every other team he was on but wow man. Major props and just love these 2 guys!

  3. every question is about Luka. This is why Brunson and KP left, they were fucking sick of these types of questions

  4. Lively is one of the best things to ever happen to Dallas. After suffering with those Bradley and Dampier days.
