The NBA playoff scramble continued, with the Lone Rangers beating the Jazz 102-77 in Tenno Mountain in a focus battle in the West, taking a 25-point win and rewriting the series score to a 3-2 lead.
In the whole game, Doncic played 33 minutes, 11 of 22 shots, 33 points, 13 rebounds and 5 assists, all three statistics are the highest in the game, with such performance, Doncic successfully broke the doubt, sweeping away the embarrassment of the team losing after the last return.
On the other hand, the Jazz team only scored 77 points in the whole game, from the core to the role players can be described as problematic.
As soon as the game began, Doncic shot inside and out, first assisting Powell and then hitting himself to help the Lone Ranger start 4-0.
Although Mitchell and Gobert responded in time since then, the situation has been firmly in the hands of the Lone Rangers, plus the Jazz only scored 18 points in the first quarter, and the Lone Rangers ended the first quarter with a 6-point lead.
In the second quarter, the Jazz played an offensive climax at the beginning of the quarter, but as the Lone Ranger put on a small lineup, the situation was once again controlled by the Lone Ranger, and the Jazz team was completely muted in the second half of the quarter, scoring only 36 points at halftime, and the Lone Ranger established a huge 16-point lead at halftime.
The Jazz have been unable to find offensive rhythms, and the Lone Rangers, led by Doncic and Brunson, have re-extended their lead to 20 points.
At the end of the third quarter, the Lone Ranger has a huge lead of 26 points, the suspense of the game is gone, and finally the final quarter is almost all garbage time, the Lone Ranger defeated the Jazz 102-77 and won the Battle of King Mountain.
Although it was the Battle of Tennoyama, the game process showed a one-sided situation, which also exposed a large number of problems with the Jazz.
For a star, the playoffs are often the key to measuring the gold content of his ability, and it is clear that Mitchell has missed the bottom and exposed that he has not yet reached the absolute core level.
The game played 32 minutes, only 4 of 15 shots, the state is still sluggish, the outside three-point shooting 7 of 0, only got 9 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal, plus or minus of exaggerated minus 38, lost 38 points on the court.
To make matters worse, Mitchell suffered another injury during the game, according to the official report of the Jazz after the game, Mitchell suffered a hamstring injury, and the specific situation needs to be further examined after returning to Salt Lake City.
Gobert, who was unable to get the ball before, and got the unfairness of the outside world, proved with his actions that he did not deserve the ball.
As a star center with an average salary of more than $40 million in large contracts, Gobert faced a defender of less than one meter nine in the game, did not dare to single with his back, and has reached the depths of the basket, under normal circumstances, as long as a simple physical confrontation, a turn is a dunk, and as a result, Gobert chose to quickly play the ball.
Throughout the game, Gobert seemed to shoot 6 of 7, bombed 17 points and 11 rebounds extremely efficiently, but the overall performance did not match the salary and reputation at all, more like a top blue-collar interior lineman.
On the other hand, on the lone team, Doncic showed everyone his comprehensive offensive means with his follow-up performance in the case of a poor start.
The game easily bombarded the data of 33 points, 13 rebounds and 5 assists, all three of which were the highest in the game, and was a well-deserved MVP of this game.
In addition, Brunson continued his fiery performance, shooting 9-of-20, with 24 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal, which was his fifth consecutive playoff game with 20+ points, and from any point of view, the Jazz were less fierce.
