In the second round of the first round between the Jazz and the Lone Ranger, Doncic still did not play because of a calf strain, and whether he could play in the next game is still unknown. When fans thought the Jazz would take it easy again, the game script went in the opposite direction.
Throughout the game, the Jazz held the scoreline for most of the time, but they never pulled the score difference away. A big part of this is due to the Lone Ranger's Jaylen Bronson's all-game super-god-level play.
The Lone Rangers scored 24 points in the first quarter of the game, and Brunson single-handedly made 6 of 7 in the quarter and 3 of 4 from three points, with 15 points, 1 rebound and 2 steals. At half-time, Bronson scored 21 points to close the score.
Bronson scored in double figures again in the third quarter, with 4-of-6 in the quarter and 2-of-4 three-pointers to score 10 points. Whenever the Lone Ranger lacked offensive firepower, Bronson could always stand up and score, and the Jazz's defense could not do anything with him.
In the final quarter, Bronson scored seven consecutive points to finally reverse the score. At the beginning, Bronson took advantage of Gobert's unguarded disadvantage to directly pull out three points, followed by a direct forced single, how to play how, Conley was beaten by him in the last moments.
In the game, Bronson scored 41 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals on 6-of-10 shooting from three points. Although there is no Doncic, Bronson's performance can be equal to Doncic, and he has carried the lone ranger offensive flag in both games, and today's hand exploded.
In addition to Bronson, Kléber on the Lone Ranger side was 8-of-11 from three-point range, scoring 25 points on the field. Two three-pointers in the final quarter can be said to directly seal the win, and Kléber shot six three-pointers in the second half.
The Jazz's death method can be said to be exactly the same as playing the Clippers last year, except that Mann on the other side has become Kléber. The Lone Ranger put up a lineup of five outside, that is, playing Gobert can not prevent this. In the bottom corner, the Lone Ranger hit three points in a row, and the Jazz couldn't do anything about it.
Once Gobert was pulled out, the Jazz's interior line became vacuumed, and Bronson could score with his small steel cannon-like stature. The all-game Lone Ranger killed the Jazz by three points, and it is well known that the Jazz have always been very poor in defense of three points.
It is said that the playoffs are the stage for superstars, but today's game belongs to Bronson, the "little man". Of course, the little people here are only relative, and Bronson has seen all kinds of big scenes in college compared to now.
He was in the top 20 of the class of 2015, and after winning the state championship, Bronson entered Villanova University. In his three-year college career, Bronson won two NCAA championships, and he swept almost all of the nation's individual honors.
Of course, because of his age and height, Bronson was selected with the third pick in the second round. That same year, the Lone Ranger selected Doncic with the third pick in the first round. The two men were 30 places behind, one in the first round and the other in the second round, but today Bronson replaced Doncic as the hero of the Lone Ranger.
His rookie contract expires this summer, and this season his contract is only around 1.8 million. Previously, it was said that Bronson wanted a 20 million annual salary, and after this game, it should be difficult for the Lone Ranger to keep him in the summer.
