96-98, the Jazz lost to the Lone Ranger in the sixth game of the first round of the playoffs, the series 2-4 out, for the fifth Jazz in the West, this moment they are too bitter, but what is in front of them is the incompatibility of Gobert and Mitchell, and the team's turbulent heart! NBA star A. Smith said: "In the final moments of the game, Conley's steps, Bogda missed a big empty three-pointer, the Jazz lost the opportunity to move forward, they really have to break the team to rebuild, if Mitchell wants to leave, it is not surprising at all!" ”
In the past four seasons, it is very straightforward that the Jazz have a 12-17 record in the playoffs, and the Jazz's winning percentage is only 41.4%, and they have only won one round of the series. But what about jazz salaries? Sixth in the 147.6 million league, they have no salary space, Mitchell may want to leave, Gobert may have moved his mind, but for Mr. Good, who is paid 20 million yuan a year, if the Jazz begin to rebuild, he may be in the retirement stage.
In this game, Jazz guard Conley averaged 11 points + 4 of 10 of 31 minutes per game , 4 rebounds + 8 assists + 3 turnovers, and the embarrassing thing was that he walked in the final moments of the game, which was a very unnecessary mistake, and this also allowed the Jazz, who was 1 point behind, to give the ball to the Lone Ranger side!
What is a point guard? This is the last thing that should happen! In the summer of 2021, the Jazz signed a three-year, $68.04 million contract with Conley, which is already a big contract for conley, 34.
So far in the playoffs, Mr. Good Conley has averaged 9.2 points + 3.2 rebounds + 4.8 assists per game in 29 minutes, and the average data per game is already very poor, and it is already very difficult to take out. Looking at his hit rate and efficiency, it can only be described as miserable! So far in the series, he has averaged 33.3 percent from the field and 20 percent from three-point range.
The Jazz signed Conley, originally wanting him to share the worries for Mitchell and Gobert, on the one hand, one more firepower point on the outside line opened up space for Mitchell, on the other hand, as a possession he needed to find opportunities for Gobert.
But the reality is that Conley did not do a good job at 2 points, and the key is that he is 34 years old, what about the future? After the loss, Conley said: "We're a team that builds on unity and plays for each other, and sometimes, we lose that, we get better in a lot of ways, we adapt and then we improve our standards in every way. Well, Conles plans to stay with the Jazz. But the question is, where can Conley go now? Which team will want a veteran who earns 20 million a year, and then averages 9+3+5 per game in the playoffs, shooting 33+20, and still walks at key moments? If the Jazz rebuild, perhaps mr. Good will really be the time to retire.
