preface:
Last season, Gobert signed a $200 million contract with the Jazz, which was sneered at by many people who believed that Gobert did not deserve the price, and as the core player of the Jazz, he had only helped the Jazz reach the second round of the playoffs so far. But is this really Gobert's whole pot? In fact, the Jazz never use Gobert, an All-Star player is treated as a blue collar, to be honest, the Jazz have a manual that it is impossible to have Gobert.
Selfish jazz outliner
Gobert has averaged 15.3 points, 14.7 points and 1.1 assists this season, and he hit 70.9 percent of his shots and averaged just 7.7 shots per game. To be honest, in an efficient situation like Gobert's, the number of shots is really too small, and even if the number of shots is 100 percent, the impact on the game is minimal. Some people say that if Gobert's shot count is increased, he can't maintain such efficiency, but is this really the case? In fact, the Jazz did not give Gobert enough opportunities, and the Jazz were once again reversed by the opponent in the game with the Warriors, but when the team had an offensive drought, no one in the Jazz's backcourt was willing to pass the ball to Gobert, and there were already empty places under the basket, but the team still did not give him a chance, which is also the true epitome of Gobert in the Jazz.
To be honest, the Jazz players have a big problem, especially the backcourt of several people with the ball Mitchell and Conley, Mitchell has partnered with Gobert since entering the league, both are All-Star level players, but Mitchell's respect for Gobert is too little, especially in the game basically did not see the connection between the two, even if they appeared in the All-Star arena did not find the interaction between the two, this is actually the problem, although Gobert is Mr. 200 million, But his position on the team is a blue-collar worker, no one gives him a pass, no one builds offensive tactics for him, Snyder seems to be not paying attention to Gobert, the management thinks he is worth two hundred million dollars, but the team thinks he is just an ordinary blue-collar worker.
If you take Gobert as the core of the team, you will find that he can actually take the team to a higher position, the Olympic Team France proves this, when you trust Gobert enough, he can give you back an Olympic runner-up, to be honest, even if not every goal is attacked by Gobert, he is such a behemoth, the attack initiated by him is a great impact on the game, and now in this league, almost no one can limit the big players, Gobert's high-pitched strike is a big offensive threat. Gobert deserves more offensive status, such a good player to use into blue collar is a big waste, he deserves 200 million US dollars, if a team can put enough support on Gobert, Gobert can also give you the results you want.
Gobert, hungry for the ball
If anyone takes a closer look at Gobert's interview, you'll see that one of the most common things Gobert said after the game was to transfer the ball. When the team loses, Gobert will say that our team has stopped transferring the ball, and when the team wins, Gobert will say that our team has done a good job of transferring the ball. Gobert's request for the transfer of the ball is actually the desire for the ball, he has said such a thing more than once, to be honest, Gobert is also very eager for a chance to prove himself, so many people denigrate him for not being worthy of a big contract, anyone can be angry, and Gobert has never been angry, and Gobert is still very numerous in the face of great right and wrong.
But for the Jazz, so much money is thrown into it every year, but the team's performance is not improving, which is also a slap in the face for management. In fact, perhaps Mitchell and Gobert are not the same people at all, in the game a lot of Gobert small big opportunities Mitchell on the outside of the blind shot, to put it bluntly, the Jazz team does not have a clear core, the team must have at least one talent with the right to speak, Gobert's needs can not be met, as a guard Mitchell always has unlimited shooting power, which makes the Jazz's game very deformed.
To be honest, the Jazz dared to give Gobert such a contract, that is, to completely regard him as the first core of the team, but now the execution of the entire team has not developed towards where the management wants, for the Jazz, although the team's record is still reasonable, but his renewal of Gobert is undoubtedly to get higher honors, stopping the second round is definitely not what the team wants. Now the Jazz have not yet established a lineup with Gobert as the absolute core, so this time it is really possible to try it, and can not let a group of outside lines spoil the positioning of the team.
There has been news that Mitchell wants to leave the Jazz, and to be honest, although Mitchell has not said anything negative, he is sometimes too exclusive on the court, and he does not regard Gobert as the giant of the team. The Jazz are a must-do thing to rebuild the lineup, as a small-ball city team, the Jazz's every money is carefully calculated, if the team can't win the championship, then taking apart the lineup is the most realistic thing, so that not only for Gobert and Mitchell is a good thing, it is also a good thing for the team.
epilogue:
A nimble behemoth like Gobert in the small-ball era is certainly a bounty that any team wants, but if he can't look like a blue-collar worker, you really treat him as a blue-collar worker, if you don't improve his offensive ability, the Jazz will never be able to get a chance in the NBA, not to mention that his role should be used when the team space is locked. As the season draws to a close, the Jazz's problems are also increasing, and perhaps it is really time to change, and this dead knot must be untied!
