9-2!No. 1 in the league!Hammer the Nuggets, beat the Bucks, sorry, they're going on a northern expedition too
The Clippers started the season with a 3-7 record and were only 12th in the league at the time, which was very poor, but who would have thought that the Clippers would then go on a nine-game winning streak and then start to shoot off the spot, with Capepper and Harden leading the Clippers to a super take-off. NBA reporters reported that the Clippers have a 21-6 record in the past 27 games, the first record in the league during the same period. The Clippers are now 24-13, just one win away from the defending champion Nuggets and two wins behind the first place in the West. Fans are saying that the Clippers are on their northern expedition and that they are on the verge of breaking into the top three in the West. On the other side, there is also a dark horse team that is also on the Northern Expedition. 9-2!No. 1 in the league!Hammer the Nuggets, beat the Bucks, sorry, they're going on a northern expedition too.
This season, the defending champions Nuggets have been ranked in the top three in the West, while the Bucks and 76ers have also had excellent records, finishing second and third in the East. Since the Nuggets have a championship starting lineup, the championship teams across the league have an important goal of beating the Nuggets. Especially the teams in the Western Conference, if they want to break out of the Western Conference and enter the Finals to compete for the championship, they must have the strength to beat the Nuggets. This season, teams such as the Timberwolves, Thunder, Rockets, and Clippers have all beaten the defending champions, the Nuggets.
American media NBA reporters wrote an analysis that the Clippers recently achieved a record of 16 wins and 3 losses, and they are the hottest team in the league; at the same time, the Jazz team has a record of 9 wins and 2 losses in the last 11 games, and the Jazz team has also played a super strong dark horse strength. Many fans think that the Jazz team is at the bottom of the record this season, aren't they rebuilding badly? It is indeed a rebuild, but it is not necessarily a rotten, the Jazz recently defeated the defending champion Nuggets, the Bucks, the Mavericks, the Heat and the 76ers and other strong teams, their form and strength, is bursting wildly.
Nuggets head coach Malone put out the strongest starting lineup of Jokic + Murray + Aaron Gordon + Porter Jr. + Pope, they were actually pressed by the Jazz from beginning to end, the defending champion fell behind by 26 points at most, and finally lost by 14 points, why can the Jazz team suppress the Nuggets to play all over the court? The Bucks led the team and also suffered a 16-point upset, and the Jazz team has been leading the whole game, with a maximum lead of 33 points. The Jazz hammered the defending champion Nuggets and defeated the Bucks, these two games stunned the fans, is the Jazz so strong?
NBA statistics show that in the last 10 games, the Jazz averaged 47.8 rebounds per game, ranking first in the league, and the Jazz averaged 46.5 points per game, ranking first in the league. Due to Clarkson's presence, the Jazz's bench lineup has always been very strong. Playing the Nuggets, Clarkson scored 27 points + 2 rebounds + 9 assists, playing the Bucks, Clarkson scored 22 points + 4 rebounds + 6 assists + 1 block, playing the Mavericks, Clarkson scored 20 points + 10 rebounds + 11 assists triple-double, playing the Raptors, Clarkson scored 30 points + 3 rebounds + 6 assists. Clarkson, the best sixth man, has been in really hard form lately.
Markkanen, Sexton, Clarkson, Collins, these players are the core of the Jazz team. Markkanen is averaging 23.6 points + 8.8 rebounds + 1.7 assists + 0.9 steals + 0.7 blocks per game this season, shooting 49% from the field, 38.6% from three-point range, and 86.7% from the free throw line. Markkanen's stats and strength reach the level of an All-Star, and he has a chance to impact the All-Star lineup, but there are many stars in the Western Conference, and the Jazz are not a big team, so it is still very difficult for him to be selected as an All-Star. If the Jazz can maintain this good momentum and keep the winning streak going on, and Markkanen continues to run the flamboyant stats, then he has a better chance of making the All-Star list.
The Jazz are on the rise, with a 19-20 record ahead of the Warriors (17-20) and 11th in the West, just 0.5 wins away from the Lakers. The Jazz are also going on a northern expedition, and they want to make the playoffs as well.
