In the NBA playoffs, the Lone Ranger challenged the Jazz away, the last Lone Ranger won a big victory with 25 points to win the match point, this game jazz has no way back, but even so strong Jazz, they shot a key kill three points, and finally the Lone Ranger won 98-96 to advance to the Western Conference Semifinals with an aggregate score of 4-2.
Get this game, advance to the semifinals, this is the Lone Ranger after 11 years, once again broke through the first round of the playoffs, when Nowitzki was still old and strong, and then the Lone Ranger collapsed, 6 times in 11 years into the playoffs all returned home, and now they are under the leadership of Doncic, finally broke through the first round, not only to return to the team to create a strange forward line Noviski, but also to give back to the long-term support of fans, this lone ranger future is looking forward to.
In this game, the biggest contributor to the team's victory is still Doncic, he played 42 minutes, 8 of 21 shots, 10 of 3-pointers, 4 of 4 from the free throw line, got 24 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks of comprehensive data, Doncic in the Jazz's strict defense, the shooting rate is not high, but this way did not bother him, shooting is not good, assist teammates, offense is not good, strengthen personal defense, it can be said that Doncic has done everything he can do.
This season is the third time in Doncic's career to enter the playoffs, in the previous season, the team all stopped in the first round, the most regrettable last year, the Lone Rangers and Clippers battled 7 games, Doncic scored a game-high 46 points in the game of seven, but still could not help the team to win. This season the Lone Ranger is also not going well, the contradiction between Bo Shen and Doncic, coupled with Doncic's injury troubles, the team's record is fluctuating, at the end of the trade deadline, the Lone Ranger gave up Bo Shen from the Wizards in exchange for Dinwiddie, so that the team is on the right track.
They were also not easy in the playoffs, Doncic suffered an injury for the last time in the regular season, regrettably missing three games, but they had Dinwiddie, brunson, these two with a strong performance, in the absence of Doncic, Play the big score into 2-1.Doncic returned from injury, a total of 63 points in two games, helped the team to win a win and a loss, successfully won the match point, although the score of this game did not exceed 30 points, but they in the case of waiting for 12 points, relying on the team's attitude of not accepting defeat and tenacity, tough reversal of the game, Doncic completed self-redemption, but also helped the Lone Ranger to lift the spell of 11 years of unable to break through the first round.
The Lone Ranger was able to qualify, in addition to Doncic, thanks to Kidd, Dinwiddie and Brunson, head coach Kidd beat Snyder in terms of tactics and personnel arrangements, once he cultivated the alphabet brother, and now once again let Doncic feel the joy of victory. In terms of players, Dinwiddie is arguably the Lone Ranger's best reinforcement of the season, and his arrival makes up for Doncic's weakness at key moments, while Brunson is too strong in the playoffs. Averaged 27.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.2 assists in 6 games, without him, perhaps the Lone Ranger could not survive Doncic's comeback, and he had been eliminated by the Jazz, but it also indirectly reflected Cuban miscalculation, in the offseason, Brunson asked the Lone Ranger to renew his contract for 4 years and 55 million, which was rejected by the team, and after the first round, his value may have doubled.
The efforts of the Lone Ranger are obvious to all, but all of this needs to be set off by the opponent, and many Lone Ranger fans after the game thank Mitchell, because in this key game, Mitchell, as the core of the Jazz, did not shoot a shot in the last 6 minutes or more, although the whole game scored 23 points, but failed to help the team to the end, the Lone Ranger can so smoothly advance to the second round, Mitchell is also indispensable.
Breaking through the first round makes Doncic more confident, in the next game, the Lone Ranger is expected to create more miracles, let's look forward to their future games, and the Jazz really have to face a deal or restructuring this time.
