With a 2-0 lead being swept down four cities, the Jazz's fear of being dominated by the Clippers strikes again? Mr. Billion has been pushed to the cusp of the storm again.
Brunson blasted the first 40+ of this year's playoffs, a famous game, a big contract is just around the corner, and the regular season peripheral crosshairs are only 32.5% of Klebermann possessed, and the 8 three-pointers hit by the bench are the biggest contributors.
The Lone Ranger's chief attacker, Doncic, was absent and was still able to break the Jazz's defensive strategy with a 5-out stand, and Dallas set up an altar to cast a three-point rain — 22 three-pointers in the game, 17 of which were open without interference.
In the last game, Gobert sat firmly in the middle of the military tent, strictly guarding the throwing area of the main attacker Dinwiddie or Brunson, the Jazz set up a perimeter, restricted the run without the ball, and stared at the effect of the three-point shot of the supporting role shooter.
The two sides have encountered some cold periods of hand, and the follow-up is expected to usher in a pullback, while the lone ranger has taken the lead and saved the character to fully explode.
In this campaign, the Jazz's first-line defense was easily defeated, brunson broke through and mixed up the formation, in this case, Gobert could not continue to crouch under the basket, and could only seek to abandon the non-spatial point counterpart and actively make up for the sweep to play a co-defensive value. But once this so-called "space black hole" is "just right" to respond to the empty, it means that the Jazz's defense has completely collapsed.
Doncic's injury is unknown, and the Jazz are still the dominant side in the promotion prospects, but the problem in the team seems to be greater at the moment - the recent hype about "Jazz don't give Gobert the ball" has been hyped up, and in the end it is Actually Gobert's lack of ability.
It is true that the French tower has been criticized for lacking independent offensive ability, but Gobert is the top endpoint of the league, and with the blessing of height and arm span, the dessert position is absolutely enough, the opponent does not tighten in the air, and seeing the opportunity does not mean that the teammates can do the same.
Even if he has some receivers, deviating from the basket and there is no offensive threat, but by harvesting rebounds + covering wall attributes + blocking and dismantling down the pie + secondary attack, Gobert has always been a model of "dragging space without dragging offense".
"A cake of four shots of the backcourt double drive" is the magic weapon of the Jazz to settle down, Gobert's concentration on blue collar does not mean that he accepts the weakening of his own tactical position - Gobert, who only had one shot in the last game, actually took on a lot of low-post scenes, and it is difficult to chisel Kleber to be strong, and this approach similar to the collapse mentality is really difficult to understand.
I don't advocate the study of the so-called psychology of basketball, but the Jazz offensive and defensive scenes have been out of control several times recently, and it is difficult not to make people think that the 3.0 version of Utah may really reach the crossroads of understanding the body.
Brunson's contract extension is long overdue. Since the beginning of last season, he has deliberately retained the original offensive frame, improved his projection and basket finishing ability, and improved his fixed point grasp in addition to pushing and converting and instigating the demolition of the offensive and tearing down the defense line.
Diligent and clumsy, the elderly "second round tanhualang" has both balls and has proved that he is fully compatible with Doncic on the offensive end. Before the transaction deadline, the introduction of Dinwiddie as an alternative or the idea of undermining the price may still not be achieved.
Seeing that Brunson was paying a price, there was news that the Pacers had transformed into a team ready to make an offer to grab people.
The Lone Rangers won the team's first home game since 2015, equalizing the series before Doncic's comeback and plummeting pressure from home to salt lake city highlands.
After the transformation from a historic offensive brigade to supplement the defense, the Lone Ranger's feel is doomed to be difficult to maintain, Brunson's high call to block the ball throw, indiscriminate punishment is not a conventional weapon; it seems to have found an adjustment to the threat of misplaced Bojan, coupled with insisting on 5-out forcing opponents to change sides to weaken Gobert's protective frame value, but to let the Jazz do the countermeasures.
As for where the balance of this series will lean, it depends on the oppressive force of the Utah Devil's home field.
Thanks for your attention, welcome to discuss, Azhe is willing to "ball" with you to get the truth, all the way to the end of the world.
