On December 16, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and the Jazz's game against the Clippers officially began. The Jazz played very well in this game, the offensive end of the rhythm is not only fast but also very stable, the jazz in the fourth quarter of the game has scored more than 30 points in three quarters. Defensively, the Jazz were also able to limit the Clippers' scores very well, and none of the Clippers scored more than 30 points in the fourth quarter. In the end, after four quarters of the game, the Jazz won 124-103 against the Clippers, and after winning this game, the Jazz ushered in a wave of eight consecutive wins.
Realistically speaking, although the Clippers lost the game in this game, the resilience of the Clippers in this game is still very strong. Especially in the absence of George, the Clippers still played well. Throughout the game, the Clippers shot 47 percent from the field. A total of five players scored in double figures: Morris 24 points and 8 rebounds, Reggie 15 points, 5 rebounds and 9 assists, Kennard 10 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists, Bledsoe 21 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists, and Haltenstein 15 points and 5 rebounds. However, it is a pity that the Clippers' excellent performance of the whole team can only lose in the face of hard power.
After talking about the losing Clippers, let's talk about the jazz who won. There is no doubt that the Jazz's most brilliant player of this game is undoubtedly Mitchell. Mitchell exploded with 27 points and 6 assists in this game, which is really a person who took the jazz's offensive end. However, this article is not going to talk about Mitchell, and this article is focused on talking about The Jazz's inside core Gobert. Gobert played 27 minutes, 8 of 10 shots, 4 of 7 free throws, and had 20 points, 17 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks of double-double stats, plus or minus +12. Yes, Gobert was so efficient that he grabbed 17 rebounds while shooting 80 percent from the field. For Gobert in this game, we can fully describe it with the words "dominating the inside line".
On the offensive end, Gobert played very plainly, he did not have a beautiful dunk action, nor did he have a gorgeous interior foot. However, Gobert knows how to use his height advantage to receive the ball under the basket to send the ball into the basket, and he can complete the second attack after grabbing the rebound in the front court. To put it bluntly, as long as Gobert receives the ball near the three-second zone, then the opponent will have no way to take him.
Speaking of the offensive end, speaking of the defensive end. As for Gobert's performance on the defensive end, I would like to describe it in a phrase of Gobert's own. Some time ago Gobert said this way, "I told Quinn [Snyder] that I don't mind defending anyone. When I'm on the pitch, I'm not defending one person, I'm defending against the whole team." I believe that at that time, many fans thought that Gobert was talking big, but in this game, Gobert once again proved with his strength that he did not say big words. Look at how awkwardly Zubac plays under Gobert's defense, look at how well Gobert assists in defense, and look at the value of Gobert after changing defenses, I think people will no longer think that Gobert will talk about it.
So far this season, Gobert has averaged 15.3 points, 14.7 rebounds, 2.15 blocks per game and shot 73.8 percent from the field. With his help, the Jazz are currently third in the West.
