Beijing time on December 16, the NBA regular season continued, today the West ushered in a focus war, the third Jazz in the West ushered in the challenge of the fifth Clippers in the West, this battle George still did not return, but the Clippers in George's absence for a period of time they achieved 3 consecutive wins, and the Jazz are more fierce, they have won 7 consecutive wins in the past period of time, the final lineup of stronger Jazz did not let the accident happen, they easily defeated the Clippers 124-103.
After winning the game, the Jazz won 8 consecutive wins at the same time they are only 2.5 wins away from the Warriors in the West, and now the West can be said to be a group of demons dancing, the Warriors Sun Jazz's record is in the top three in the league, and the Lakers have recently won three consecutive wins, they seem to have found a chemical reaction, and the Jazz do have the capital to compete with the Suns and the Warriors, in the past 14 games they have won 12 games, the team's offensive efficiency league first, shooting percentage league first, three-point shooting number league first.
The Jazz have too many players to play, mitchell scored 10 of 15 in this campaign, 2 of 7 of 3-pointers with 27 points, 6 assists and 2 steals, Bojan 7 of 10, 6 of 3-pointers with 20 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist, Gobert 8 of 10 efficiently had 20 points, 17 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks, substitute Clarkson had 8 of 14, 3 of 5 three-pointers and 21 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, in addition to the white side 11 points and 7 rebounds on 4-of-7 shooting.
Since the introduction of the new rules in the league, many three-point teams and three-point players have been suppressed, such as Lillard and his Blazers, but the Jazz seem to have not been affected in any way, this game they shot 15 of 37 from three points, shooting a whopping 40.5%, so far this season, the Jazz have averaged 42.6 three-pointers per game, hit 15.9 league firsts, and ranked third in the league with a three-point shooting rate of 37.2%.
Their three-point range is both efficient and prolific thanks to their ability to have a number of top pitchers, and the Jazz have five players who shoot more than 40 percent from three-point range so far this season: Bojan 42 percent from three-point range, Conley 46 percent, Gay, Ingles and Royce O'Neal all at 40 percent, too extravagant, even if 1-2 shooters are sluggish, they have multiple shooters who can contribute a steady output, and it's not without reason that they were able to reach number one in the league last season.
The reason why the Jazz have not been able to achieve higher is that they lack a superstar-level player, and mitchell has grown significantly compared to the past few years, averaging 29.1 points and 5.3 assists in the last 8 games, shooting 55.4% from the field, 43.2% from three-point range, and 90% from the free throw line. The free throws are 100% very trustworthy.
Starting from the offseason to renew Conley, the Jazz's goal is to rush to the championship, and they also won Guy and white edge to enhance the thickness of the lineup, last season's Jazz if not Conley was injured in the division semifinals, they had a good chance to reach the division finals or even go further, the Jazz are one of the few in the offseason to retain the core lineup and enhance the thickness of the lineup, they are indeed worth looking forward to, this season's Jazz will definitely be a championship-level team.
