The NBA playoffs continue, with the Lone Rangers and Jazz ushering in the Battle of King's Mountain, a game that is very important or becomes a turning point in the series, which will be a tough battle in the eyes of fans. Unexpectedly, the game was completely one-sided, the Lone Ranger achieved a huge advantage of 16 points in the first half, in the second half, the Lone Ranger took advantage of the chase to pull the point difference to 20 points, and the Jazz completely found no offensive rhythm, only the role players were struggling, the point difference reached 26 points after the third quarter, the point difference lost suspense in advance, and the fourth quarter became garbage time. In the end, the Lone Ranger won the Battle of Tennozan with a 24-point victory.
It is said that the Jazz's offense is "constipated", but it is still a bit of a surprise that the whole game only scored 77 points, after all, the team has three-point shooter Bo Young, and guard core Mitchell, who conquered countless fans last season when he confronted King's Murray. There is a saying that the Lone Ranger's defense has not yet reached the top level of the league, and there is still a big gap with the Celtics and the Heat, but the Jazz only have a 10% three-point shooting rate, which only proves the Jazz's offensive incompetence, and only O'Neal, House and Hernan Gomez have hit a three-pointer each, and such offensive firepower does not win The sun will come out of the west. Without suspense, the Jazz also set the lowest shooting rate of 25 three-pointers or more in the playoffs, not only losing, but also going down in history, predictably, this embarrassing record is unheard of.
Mitchell was completely crotch-pulling, shooting 4-of-15 from the field, including 7-of-0 from three-point range! Only scored 9 points, personal plus-minus -38, ranking first in the bottom of the team. It's not wrong to say that the playoffs are the stage to pick up superstars, and it's no wonder Thomas said that after this season, the NBA's player rankings have to be updated again. Although Mitchell is injured, this does not excuse his sluggish performance. In stark contrast to Mitchell, Doncic, who scored 33 points on 11-of-22 shooting, in addition to 13 rebounds and 5 assists, can be said to be a hanging Mitchell. What's more, Doncic, as a fourth-year rookie, has already scored 30+10+5 in three games in the playoffs, second only to Nowitzki.
After the game, according to statistics, Doncic scored at least 450 points, 125 boards and 125 assists in the first 15 playoff games, becoming the second person in history after Big O. The Lone Ranger's promotion situation after taking The King's Mountain is very good, and I personally believe that the next chance of the Jazz returning to the home game is not large, and the Lone Ranger is expected to advance to the Western Conference semifinals 4-2. On the other hand, due to Booker's absence, the Suns and Pelicans entered a tug-of-war, and due to the Explosion of Ingram, Paul's Suns may not be able to pass the game, so it seems that the Lone Ranger is expected to reach the Western Conference Finals this season.
