This season's Jazz are like a pool of water in the corner, no one pays attention, but it evaporates little by little.
Facing the lone ranger who lacked Toko, the Jazz won G1 without suspense, but when it came to G2, the Jazz began their own state of death.
110-104, without Dongzi, the Lone Ranger was all soldiers, Jaylen Brunson blasted a career-high 41 points plus 8 rebounds, Kleber had 25 points and 6 rebounds, and the team shot 22 three-pointers (shooting a 47 percent).
This victory is very important for the Lone Ranger, and it should be known that it was obtained in the absence of Dongzi, which not only gave the confidence of the team, but also won valuable time for Dongzi's return.
In addition to the strength of the lone ranger players, it is also due to the Jazz duo.
Mitchell made 30 frantic shots throughout the game, but only hit 13 goals and scored 34 points. Gobert was ignored again, and he made only a pitiful 5 shots, hitting 2 shots and having 8 points and 17 rebounds.
In both games, Mitchell averaged nearly 30 shots per game, scoring 33 points, 4.5 rebounds and 5.5 assists; Gobert averaged 6 shots per game, scoring 6.5 points, 17 rebounds and 2.5 blocks, and the difference in the number of shots between the two was nearly 10 times.
Gobert: Obviously, they are all Mr. Billion Yuan, they are all the core, how can there be such a big difference?
Although there is a gap in the number of shots the two in the regular season, after entering the playoffs, Mitchell's deliberate failure to pass to him has become more and more blatant, making people suspect that there is a complete break between the two.
The two were very exposed to their problems in this game.
Mitchell made a big deal out of it, killing or not passing, the performance in the final quarter was a disaster, in the fourth quarter he only scored 7 points on 3-of-11 shooting, the basket was going to be smashed, Mitchell was weak, and Gobert was not much better.
Although there are only 5 shots in the whole game, the pot of the team's defeat can not let him back, but as a player with a hand of 200 million US dollars, he will drop the ball as soon as he takes it, lose it when he hits his back, make successive mistakes on the field, and 4 mistakes are faster than the speed of eating cake.
Some fans said that Gobert could not get the ball, and how to play was useless.
Actually ask, can you really play with the ball?
Gobert's role is to defend and eat pie, but aside, does he have enough dominance on the inside? No! He can't have the same independent attack ability as Embiid and Teacher Yo, so with a contract of more than forty million, do he have to ask a little demand on himself?
After the game, Gobert also realized some problems, that is, the lack of shots.
He said that if he brings up the shot next, then it will not be difficult for the Jazz to win the Lone Ranger.
Good guys, that's a hint to Mitchell.
Coincidentally, after the G1 match, Mitchell said something like this: "Although he (Gobert) only shot once, he had a huge impact on the game. ”
Listen, the Jazz is like this, this series can be won, anything is easy to say, once it doesn't work, then the Jazz are waiting to break up the team.
