In the game against the Jazz Series G2, the Lone Rangers shot particularly accurately on the outside, and they shot a total of 22 three-pointers in the whole game, which created the team's playoff record, after the Lone Rangers had shot 20 three-pointers in the playoffs, and in this game, the Lone Rangers, in the absence of Doncic, they shot 22 three-pointers on the outside, setting a record for the Lone Rangers. The Lone Rangers were good enough in this game, and with an incomplete lineup, they withstood the pressure and did not lose again at home, they successfully reversed the Jazz in the final quarter and won the G2, and the two teams are currently at a 1-1 draw.
The main reason the Lone Rangers were able to win this game was the outbreak of two Wizards, Brunson and Kleber, who performed too well in this game. Among them, Brunson played 43 minutes, 15 of 25 shots, 6 of 10 three-pointers, 41 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals, 41 points in a single game set a new career high, and he was also the first player in this year's playoffs to score 40+ points in a single game. Kleber had 25 points, six rebounds and three assists on 8-of-11 shooting from outside the three-point line, and eight three-pointers in a single game also set a career high.
The two players combined to score 66 points and scored 14 three-pointers on the perimeter, and they became the biggest contributors to the Lone Rangers' victory, in the case of an incomplete lineup, they hit consecutive shots, and their presence on the personal offensive end was particularly strong, and in the case of the team 0-1 behind and Doncic could not play, the two players carried the banner of the team's progress and performed very brightly in the game. The Lone Rangers were able to equalise and their play was crucial.
After the game, Doncic, who cheered on his teammates on the sidelines, also got up to give Brunson and Kleber a hug, and For the performance of these two players, Doncic was also very happy, although he still could not play, but he was also relieved to see the team finally win the game.
For now, the Lone Rangers have the strength to beat the Jazz in the absence of Doncic, the Lone Rangers have a strong roster depth, every player can help the team in the game, this team has resilience, will not give up the game easily, play very tenaciously.
Of course, the Lone Rangers want to have the last laugh in this series, the team still needs Doncic's comeback, after having missed G1 and G2 consecutively, Doncic's injury recovery has been very good, there is a possibility of a comeback in G3. For the Lone Rangers, though, they're still very cautious about Doncic's injuries, and if they can't get back to their best, they're unlikely to get him back.
At this stage, I personally feel that if Doncic has not fully recovered, the Lone Ranger can let him rest one more time, after all, the Lone Ranger has already drawn with the Jazz in this series, and even if the next game is lost on the away team, they have a chance to win this series. In this series, the Lone Rangers did not completely lose the initiative, they achieved a record of 1 win and 1 loss at home, which is already a complete task. On the next road trip, if Doncic can't come back, whether the Lone Rangers can withstand the pressure and win the game again is also worth looking forward to.
