In the new season of the NBA Eastern Conference, the Wizards once relied on the lakers' three veterans Kuzma, Pope and Harrell's excellent performance, ranking at the top of the standings, but in this game with the Jazz, Kuzma can only hang the exemption card because of the trigger of the league's health and safety agreement, so that the overall strength of the team has declined significantly, and the Jazz, which is in a state of winning streak, naturally will not miss this opportunity to continue to soar, under the leadership of Gobert and Mitchell's inner and outer cores. The Jazz suddenly started in the second half, the third quarter played a wave of 31-18 offensive climax, established a double-digit lead in one fell swoop, and finally won the Wizards 123-98, winning seven consecutive games, because the Jazz played the best record in the league last season, and before the Suns played a long wave of winning streaks, many fans ridiculed, last season's Western Second Suns performed, and now it is the turn of last season's Western First Jazz to appear!
Today's Wizards rely most on the Lakers' three veterans, as well as the backcourt double gun Dinwiddie and Beal, but in this game Dinwiddie's performance is still not good enough, 13 shots only hit 5 goals, personal data only 12 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists, Beal also completely without last season and Curry to compete for the scoring champion of the hot state, 9 of 19 shots to get 21 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, but also as many as 6 mistakes.
Without the big brother Kuzma around, Pope could not find the shooting feeling at all in this game, all 5 shots were deflected without 1 point, and Harrell did not play his dominance after coming off the bench, especially the free throws were only 5 free throws and 1 of the performance, only got 9 points, and several core performances did not meet expectations, which was also the fundamental reason for the Wizards' big score loss.
The Jazz's two core Mitchell and Gobert personal performance in this game is completely better than the opponent, of which Gobert not only gave the team a huge help on the defensive end, but also maintained a high degree of efficiency on the offensive end, hitting 9 goals in 10 shots in the 28.2 minutes he played, easily contributing 20 points, 11 rebounds and 1 block, Harrell, as the Wizards' main scoring point, did not play his usual dominance, and Gobert had a huge relationship with sitting on the inside.
As the core of the team's offense, Mitchell also continued his excellent performance in the game, appearing in 31.6 minutes and 20 shots to hit 10 goals, including 4 of 9 three-pointers, cutting 28 points, 4 rebounds and 2 steals, under his leadership, the Jazz had a total of six players in this game to score double digits, of which whiteside, who was jokingly called the big white side by fans, even stole the limelight of the two cores, cutting 18 points, 14 rebounds and 4 blocks on 8 of 9 shots.
After winning this game, the Jazz maintained the longest seven consecutive wins in the league today, although the star dominance is not strong enough, so that the Jazz's prospects for the playoffs are not very promising, but their regular season combat effectiveness is beyond doubt, which is why many fans are optimistic that they can play a wave of super long winning streaks with excellent overall basketball to join the top battle in the Western Conference!
