Beijing time on April 22, the NBA playoffs continued, today the Jazz returned home to usher in the challenge of the Lone Ranger, after the first two games of the two sides played a 1-1 draw, in the absence of Doncic, the Lone Ranger played such a performance has been commendable, and this game came to Salt Lake City, thought the Jazz could win, but the result was again 118-126 gutter overturned, the next Game Doncic will come back, so the Jazz estimate that the first round can not be played.
From the first quarter of the game, the Lone Ranger continued the strategy of the previous game, the offensive end by Dinwiddie and Brunson a variety of singles, find the Jazz Gate Gobert, use the speed advantage against Gobert, the outside ambush shooter, if faced with a pinch to pass to the outside artillery, which is the same as the Clippers' strategy against the Jazz last season, because of the tactical targeting, the First Half Lone Ranger led the Jazz by 17 points at 68-51.
In the third quarter, Mitchell found the form, 8 shots in the single quarter 6, 3 of 3 three points 1 to take 18 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists, under his leadership the Jazz have narrowed the point difference to 6 points at the end of the third quarter, and it seems that there is a chance to win, but Mitchell did not seize, all kinds of unreasonable random shots, so that the team lost the rhythm, and here Dinwiddie and Brunson are still stable, and finally under the leadership of them, the Lone Ranger has a thrilling win.
In terms of data, Mitchell shot 10 of 21 shots, 1 of 7 from three points and 1 of 32 points, 2 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 block of data, just look at the efficiency and performance, Mitchell played well, but his biggest problem we just said, the key moment has been blind, playing hero ball, the whole team has not yet landed, the result is a strong three-pointer in the face of two people, too unreasonable, the star mentality is really good, but there is no that technology.
Bogdan maintained the state of the first two games, this game 12 shots 8, 7 three points 4 to get 24 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists, Bogdan's strong shooting ability is very stable, but he did not get the opportunity he deserved. Conley's play today is also very stable, shooting 6 of 14 from the field, 2 of 7 from three points, 21 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, and he also fed Gobert many times during the game.
Gobert today 6 of 6 won 15 points, 7 rebounds and 1 block data, Gobert's biggest advantage is the interior killing, but the Jazz did not use it at all, and in the defensive end was also targeted by various singles, three best defensive players, the league's best interior tower has become the opponent's offensive end of the cash machine, which is worth 200 million ah? He and Mitchell are both brave players in the regular season and unstable in the playoffs, and it can be said that the Jazz chose the wrong core.
Since last season was found by Tyrone Lu after the weakness, now the Lone Ranger faced the Jazz once again targeted them, in the absence of Doncic, the Lone Ranger has led the Jazz 2-1, so play until Doncic returns, then the Jazz must not be able to resist, with a high luxury tax but the first round of the playoffs, I think the Jazz's team building direction is wrong, they chose the wrong cornerstone, it should be the right way to rebuild.
Brunson is still the most stable player to win this game, shooting 12 of 22 in the game, 4-of-0 three-pointers to take 31 points, 1 rebound and 5 assists, in doncic's absence, Brunson played a Doncic-level performance to help the team win, the Lone Ranger has been struggling to find the second ball-holding core around Doncic, did not expect that after Kidd's arrival, after his tuning, the second ball-holding core is already in the lineup.
In addition, the lone ranger won the third ball-holding core Dinwiddie on the trade deadline, and today also has a good performance, shooting 6 of 21 in the whole game, 2 of 7 three-pointers to get 20 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, the efficiency alone is very average, but Dinwiddie scored two key goals in the fourth quarter is really too good, and the last quarter one-man blasted 10 points and 2 steals to dominate the offensive and defensive ends. The team's 3D Finney Smith also performed well, shooting 6-of-12 from the field and 2-of-7 from three-point range to have 14 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 4 steals.
Kleber and Bertans two space towers are also punishing Gobert can not pull out of the problem, Kléber shot 6 of 7, 5 of 3 points 4 to get 17 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, Bertans 7 shots 4 of 7, 4 of 3 points to take 15 points and 2 rebounds, let them play like this will have to increase their salary, Is Gobert trying to benefit the Lone Ranger players?
