In the NBA regular season ending today, the Jazz defeated the Mavericks 106-104 without Mitchell.
After this campaign, the Jazz's record came to 14 wins and 4 losses, successfully surpassing the Los Angeles Clippers to become the first in the Western Conference and the league.
The performance of the Utah Jazz this season is impressive. During this ten-game winning streak, the Jazz ranked first in the league in offensive efficiency, net efficiency and defensive efficiency.
At the same time this season, the Jazz also has the league's highest three-point field goal per game and the league's second-highest three-point field goal percentage. It is no exaggeration to say that the Jazz's performance this season exceeded everyone's expectations.
At the beginning of this season, the team signed Gobert with a five-year super-maximum contract of 205 million yuan. In many people's eyes, this contract undoubtedly puts the future of the Jazz in the coffin and also nailed it. Many people are discussing whether Gobert’s appointment contract is considered the first rubbish contract in history. Gobert has also won the title of "Mr. 200 million", and the famous O’Neill publicly declared that Gobert is not worthy of this contract.
This is how a team that is not favored by anyone can achieve the league's first record?
The reason why the Jazz can achieve such an outstanding record this season, the first and most important point is that the three-point shooting rate has been greatly improved. Fans who have watched the Jazz game last season must know the Jazz three. The split was very struggling, and the effect was not good. However, three-pointers have become their conventional weapon this season. The team's several major victories have also been achieved by their excellent three-point shooting percentage. The team has made 15 three-pointers in 8 consecutive games.
second point, excellent play Clarkson, Clarkson is averaging 18 points, two points shot 48%, three hits 39%, 97% free throw,Leading the league's bench scoring list.
Third, the state of Kangli and Bo Yang has returned. This season's Jazz and last season's lineup is not very different, but for various reasons, last season's Jazz did not play results. The recovery of Conley and Boyan this season has made the Jazz's tactics more diverse and more tactical choices.
Fourth, Mitchell's continued growth and Gobert's stable performance, especially to mention Gobert, this season Gobert's defensive efficiency, rebounding, and blocking are at the forefront of the league. At least from now on, Gobert's contract is not a junk contract.
With these changes and the unity of the team, the Jazz has achieved the league's first proud result. I also hope that the Jazz will continue to work hard to bring more exciting games to the fans.
