On April 22, Beijing time, when Doncic continued to hang up the exemption card, who did the Lone Ranger rely on to carry the offensive banner? Brunson continued his highlight after scoring 41 points in his last game, even though he was pushed down by O'Neal in the second quarter and injured at the waist, he did not return to the game in any serious way. Brunson continued to lead the team in the second half to block the opponent's counterattack, especially the final quarter repeatedly hit key balls to win, the whole game bombed 31 points and 5 assists of the high-quality data.
Brunson played the first 3 games of this year's playoffs, as follows:
G1: 24 points, setting a playoff career single-game high score record.
G2: 41 points, once again breaking the playoff career single-game highest score record, the 5th in team history, Mr. 40+ in the playoffs.
G3: 31 points, continuing to be the Lone Ranger's most consistent offensive scoring point.
Brunson is just an enhanced version of Banya? Far more than that, with Doncic hanging up his free card due to injury in succession, Brunson once again stepped forward to save the Lone Ranger. Brunson hit 6 three-pointers and blasted 41 points in the last game, has played a career masterpiece to prove his strength, and is also the "new core" of becoming a lone ranger today.
Now, with Doncic continuing to injury, Brunson continues his highlight performance, he only played 14 minutes in the first half, he has already scored 15 points on 6 of 9, leading the Lone Ranger to continuously suppress the Jazz to achieve double-digit advantages, and even more to beat Mitchell, who was only 7 of 1 in the first half, and successfully gained the upper hand in the core showdown.
It is worth mentioning that Brunson was once hit by O'Neal in the second half of the second quarter and injured his waist, and he complained that the penalty was instead a technical foul and was treated.
Fortunately, Brunson returned unharmed in the second half and continued to play against Mitchell in the second half. After the Jazz approached the score in the final quarter, Brunson seized the opportunity after Gobert's return, and repeatedly played small games to suppress the Jazz defense with misplaced offense, repeatedly scoring to let himself bomb 30+ points, once helping the Lone Ranger to expand the double-digit advantage again. Brunson broke out again, but also let the Jazz have no choice but to replace Gobert in the final stage, Brunson led the Lone Ranger to narrowly defeat the Jazz, so that the first three games led the situation 2-1, so that Doncic can also get more opportunities to recuperate.
