On April 17, Beijing time, the Jazz defeated the Lone Ranger 99-93 away to win the first round of G1. The Lone Ranger led by two points in the first quarter of the game, and then the Jazz led all the way to the end, but Kidd was able to bite the final without Doncic, and the Lone Ranger fans were satisfied. Once Doncic can make a comeback, there will be room for maneuver once Doncic can make a comeback.
Mitchell scored 42 minutes, 10 of 29, 2 of 6 three-pointers, 10 of 11 free throws, 32 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal, 1 block, shooting 34.5%, 33.3% of the three-point shooting rate, and 3 turnovers, he alone accounted for 35% of the team's 83 shots, but he scored 11 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal in 7 shots in the final quarter.
But the player talked about in the media is not Mitchell but Rudy Gobert, this game Gobert only had 1 shot in the whole game, the team 83 shots he made as a starter and he played 35 minutes and 26 seconds, and the substitute Hernan Gomez got 1 shot in 5 minutes. What's going on here? Fans who watched the game should know that Gobert had no chance of singles or empty seats under the basket and no one passed to him.
In a post-match interview, Gobert said: "I really hope I can have more shooting opportunities in the next game, but at the same time I know that most of the game we are in control of the ball and we need to sacrifice, that's what it means. (It's clear that Gobert is unhappy with only 1 shot in the game)
The most ridiculous thing is that the Jazz's tweet about the game released by the reporter of the team, the cover picture Gobert did not even have a head. Gobert scored 5 points, 17 rebounds and 3 blocks in 1 shot, such a performance is not worth showing his face?
He scored all from the free throws, 5 of 6, which was a very difficult game, but he also set a number of records.
1. In the past 60 seasons, Gobert has become the first player for Rodman to score 17+ rebounds in a single shot or less since May 13, 1991;
2. Gobert became the first player in NBA history to take 17 rebounds + 3 blocks in a game, shooting 1 shot or less;
NBA reporter Kevin O'Connor put it bluntly: Rudy Gobert is one of the greatest defenders in the history of sports.
Previously, NBA data expert David Luke counted Gobert's defensive performance after the All-Star Game, and his limit opponent's shooting rate of 39.3% was 9.3% lower than the league average, which is Gobert's defensive ability. Playing like a role player on the team with a contract of 205 million.
