Chapter 186: Mitchell

Fortunately, Li Ming took a step to the three-point line, and Holiday made his passing line shorter and barely passed the ball.

Rubio didn't dare to stick to Li Ming, largely because he couldn't keep up with the opponent's speed, whether it was Li Ming with the ball in his hand or Li Ming without the ball in his hand.

Regaining possession of the ball, Li Ming caught Rubio off guard.

He dribbled straight to the other side of Holiday and made a natural cover with Holiday and threw it up, and by the time Rubio got around Holiday the ball had already flown out of his hand.

He had no choice but to turn his head to look at the ball and pray that he wouldn't be able to throw it.

But the kind of three points that are almost empty, with Li Ming's feel, if you can't shoot, you have a ghost.

"Huh!"

The ball went straight in.

3 to 0.

The audience burst into cheers.

Li Ming walked back, Rubio was already dribbling the ball, he was a genius at organizing the offense, and if it wasn't for his poor shooting skills in the early years, he would have probably become the next Kidd or Nash.

Because he's very good at grasping at those fleeting spaces.

Since his first year in the league, as long as there is a Timberwolves game in the top 10 of the daily game, he will definitely be there.

It was only later that his potential was not realized for a long time, and his progress was slow, which made the Timberwolves lose patience, and they slowly changed from the main force to the marginal man.

Now at the Jazz, he's still not a core, but at least a qualified starter.

Dribbling to face Li Ming, his physical fitness is not bad, and his height is not weaker than Li Ming, so Li Ming did not immediately rush up and stick to him.

The best thing to do for a point guard who can pass the ball is to force him to pass the ball quickly, rather than waiting for him to see the right moment to pass the ball.

Whenever the point guard wants to pass the ball, it must be an offensive opportunity.

Li Ming kept pressing, and Rubio never found a chance to pass the ball, so he could only give the ball to Mitchell, who is also a rookie.

As a newcomer who has been in the limelight recently, if Li Ming is too strong to look like a rookie, then Mitchell is the ultimate rookie.

In his scouting report, he was described as having poor summary ability under the basket, no big picture, easy to get on top, and so on.

It was precisely because of such a scouting report that he ended up with the Jazz.

And Jazz just picked up this treasure.

After more than a dozen regular season games, people were surprised to find that the description of Mitchell's shortcomings in the scouting report had somehow turned into his strengths.

In the face of Holliday, Mitchell directly forced and broke through.

Holliday is known to be a quasi-3-and-D player with decent defensive ability, but Mitchell doesn't have any pressure at all when he breaks through.

The reason is that his physical fitness is too good, not only explosive, but also his arm span is rare in the second position, with a height of 1.91 meters but an arm span of 2.08 meters.

Such a terrifying arm span also makes his breakthrough traverse range much larger than that of the average breakthrough master.

Straight into the restricted area, Mirotic made up for it, Mitchell jumped directly to the basket, the terrifying arm span once again highlighted the advantage, obviously the body was still far away from the basket, but the ball in his hand was already close to the basket, and with a slight click, the ball was put in.

2 to 3!

In terms of style, Mitchell is very similar to the quarterback era back then, each of them has his own stunts, although the current Mitchell has not, it does not mean that he will not have it, with his physical fitness, within three seasons, he must have a special move.

It's just that although the technology is not up to that level now, the spirit is quite the shadow of the group of people at that time.

It's the kind of thing that gives me the ball and I'll take care of the game.

Rather than his chances were better, I passed the ball to his teamwork.

It's not that team basketball is bad, but after entering the playoffs, team basketball can't go far after all, and when it comes to fighting bayonets, it's better than the singles ability over there.

Why did the Warriors in the 15~16 season have the first record in history of 73 wins in the regular season, but they were still overturned when they ran to the finals.

Let's not talk about the nonsense of relying on the referee or not.

A careful analysis of the entire rhythm of the game reveals that they are missing a lone hero who can fight with a bayonet at a crucial moment.

Not to mention how strong Curry's scoring ability is, to be honest, Curry has scored many times in the Finals, but no matter whether he wins or loses, the Finals MVP has never belonged to him, which is very revealing.

At the critical time of the finals, Curry really couldn't stand up.

And in the 2016~2017 season, why did the Warriors win, Du Laosi contributed! Without his crucial goals, the Warriors would have had to wait to die.

This is something that no one can refute!

So singles ability is the main theme of the playoffs.

Mitchell is the kind of player who jumps out and takes individualism to the extreme when the environment is all about teamwork.

This kind of player is rare and can be said to be somewhat against the trend.

But there's no denying that he hit it.

Mitchell is the Jazz's future king and the core of the Jazz's current guard line.

The first quarter almost became a confrontation between Mitchell and Li Ming, two rookies.

One scored 14 points, the other scored 13 points, and the one who was missing was of course Mitchell, who actually had a chance to score 15 points, but he didn't shoot the final whistle shot in the first quarter.

At 25-22, the Bulls didn't lead much, only three points.

"It's kind of interesting!" Li Ming was ready to ask Hojberg to return to shooting guard in the second quarter, because Mitchell completely boosted his fighting spirit.

It was a game where he felt like he was back in the Summer League Finals against Fultz.

Since the other party wants to interpret personal heroism to the extreme, then let's fight!

Re-entered the court in the second quarter, Li Ming came to the scoring guard and faced Mitchell, because the first quarter was the ball grabbed by the Bulls, so the first offensive power in this quarter was in the Jazz.

Mitchell watched Li Ming come to him, not surprised, as if he had expected it a long time ago, quickly dribbled to face Li Ming, and continuously crossed steps, trying to shake Li Ming.

To be honest, Mitchell's dribbling ability is good, at least a rarity among rookies.

Right!

Li Ming observed that Mickey Che's footsteps were slightly to the right, and he suddenly made a judgment in his heart, and quickly leaned to the right, and sure enough, Mickey Che crashed headlong in the direction he was moving.

"Huh!" The corners of Li Ming's mouth turned up, but the next second he was stunned, because the other party still rushed over.

The amplitude of the transverse movement was a distance that surprised him.

"This guy!" Li Ming immediately chased after him, but Michiche had already jumped and successfully attacked the frame.

"Huh!" Li Ming's eyes narrowed, he hadn't met such an interesting opponent for a long time!

"Tonight was so much fun!"
