On January 17, 2022, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and in a focus battle in the West, the Denver Nuggets sat at home to meet the visiting Utah Jazz. The two core players of the Jazz in this game, Gobert and Gay, have come back, which is very good news for the Jazz. In the first half of the game, the Jazz have been able to dominate, they have a wild 37 points in the first quarter, and 31 points in the second quarter, 10 points ahead of their opponents in the half.
In the third quarter of the following game, the Nuggets began to chase points under jokic's leadership, and the single quarter scored 30:23, and the gap between the two sides was further narrowed! But the game entered the fourth quarter, the Nuggets were affected by physical fitness, the offensive end was completely unable to score, and the Jazz were getting better and better, playing a wave of 34:12 offensive climax, spreading the point difference to 25 points, the game also completely lost suspense, and finally the Jazz defeated the opponent 125:102 and won this focus battle victory
Although Jokic had a large triple-double of 25 points, 15 rebounds and 14 assists in this game, Gobert also contributed 18 points, 19 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, and also got close to the double twenty data! Before this game, Gobert missed 5 games because of the trigger health and safety agreement, in these five games, the Jazz only achieved a record of 1 win and 4 losses to see that they only won the Nuggets, and then lost consecutively to the Raptors, Pacers, Pistons and Cavaliers, in fact, these games the team should be able to win, it is because the inside line is missing Gobert's core, resulting in their offensive and defensive ends have been greatly affected!
After Gobert returned, his offensive and defensive status on the inside was indeed very good, he had 6 points and 3 rebounds in the first quarter, 5 points, 6 rebounds and 1 block in the second quarter, 1 point, 5 rebounds and 1 block in the third quarter, and 6 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists in the fourth quarter! Every quarter was played very evenly and reasonably, and although jokic's stats were not as good as Jokic's, after all, the two had different roles in the game, and Gobert had played a very good form!
After this game, the Jazz seem to have once again found the state of the unsolvable team in the early part of the season, with Gobert, the inside gate, Mitchell and Bogdanovic can have better play space, and the team has really entered the state!
