If the Jazz have any advantages over the Thunder, they may be based on luck. Yes, it is luck. If the Thunder's Big Three injured two, or Mitchell grew up like the Rockets in this round of the series, and broke with Xie Kai, then Favors beat Patterson, Gobert protected the Jazz's penalty area like the peak Uncle Mu, and then Lu Yizhong became a golden boy again, Reus O'Neal has Shaquille O'Neal's divine power, and so on...

Even the Jazz's hardcore fans felt that they couldn't make it up any longer. The Big Three injured two, which directly replicated the Cavaliers for 15 years. But the problem is that Cavaliers for 15 years were not injured in one round of series. And if it was not Xie Kai, and Westbrook and Pickled Pepper alone, the Jazz might not have won.

Xie Kai + Abrinez + Robertson + Patterson + Duck Egg, this lineup is not weak. Xie Kai holds the ball on the offensive end, Patterson and Abrinez open up space, Duck Egg pick-and-roll and eat cake. Xie Kai + Robertson on the defensive end are both outside gates, and the duck Egg in the inside is also a pillar, and the Jazz have no advantages.

However, for the Jazz, even if they lose to the defending champion Thunder, there is no shame. They have lost Eunuch Hai, and now they can reach the second round of the playoffs, and have completed their season goals. They have no superstars at all, so it is really a delusion to enter the Western Conference Finals.

On May 3, the series G1 of Thunder VS Jazz was held at the Ford Center Arena at the Thunder home court.

The K-mi on the scene was naturally neatly arranged. Because of the first round sweep, there were only two home games, which to a certain extent affected the team's box office...

The Jazz faced the Thunder with a well-equipped and physically fit, and there were too many unfavorable factors. In the tiebreak battle with the Trail Blazers, although they won in overtime, they lost the core defender Lu Yizhong. Lu Yizhong was injured and needed to rest at least 10 days, and are likely to miss most of the second round of games.

Although Lu Yizhong has not been able to shoot, he is the Jazz's most powerful player in the organizational ability. Without him, this team that originally lacks the ability to attack will be seriously injured in team offense. They will put all their hopes on the organization's forward Ingles and double-guard rookie Mitchell.

Tencent Live broadcast of this game, commenting on Wang Zixing and Su Qun.

Wang Zixing smiled and said, "Teacher Su, you probably didn't expect that this game would start the latest semi-finals between the East and West, right?"

Su Qun nodded and said, "I really didn't expect that I was thinking about what the players of the Thunder team have been doing these days without any games, hahaha..."

Wang Zixing said: "They are all very experienced and should not rust their bodies!"

Su Qun nodded: "I think they will have a way to stay in shape, play in team games, conduct targeted training, etc."

"Teacher Su, what kind of adjustment do you think do you need to make without the offense that Rubio Jazz need?" asked Wang Zixing.

Su Qun said: "Mitchell and Ingles need to take on the heavy responsibility of organizing offense, especially Mitchell. He needs organization and attack. The pressure on his shoulders is quite high. Don't forget that he is likely to go to the position to Xie Kai? The young man's opportunity to learn is coming again? Hahaha..."

In this game? The starting lineup of the Thunder team, who played at home, remains unchanged from the previous round? It is still the Big Three + Patterson + Duck Egg.

The Jazz's starting lineups that played away are: center - Rudy Gobert, power forward - Derek Ferworth, small forward - Joe Ingles, shooting guard - Reus O'Neal, and organizational guard - Donovan Mitchell.

Because Lu Yizhong was injured? Reus O'Neal started, and Mitchell, who was originally playing No. 2, went to No. 1. This is really a clever arrangement? In this way, Mitchell doesn't have to go against Xie Kai, and he can match Westbrook, who is closer to the figure? Relatively speaking, the defensive pressure in positional battles will be less.

Westbrook's strongest thing is his impact when he switches offense. His hands feel up and down in the half-time attack? It's also unpredictable, but it's actually a top-end version of the nerve knife.

Amid the cheers of the fans at the scene? The starters of both sides entered the court, and Duck Egg and Gobert were preparing to jump the ball near the center circle? The game is about to begin.

The jump starts, Gobert uses his terrifying long arm to jump the ball to win the Duck Egg? The Jazz won the first wave of offensive ball rights.

Mitchell slowly dribbled over and the game officially began.

The Jazz's offense is mainly based on half-court positions? They are actually two towers, and Gobert and Favors' movement speed are slow. In today's era when the league focuses on fast small ball conversions, they seem a bit traditional.

Mitchell faced Westbrook and broke through after pick-and-roll with Favors, and distributed it to Royce O'Neal on the other side.

Reus O'Neal is 198cm tall and weighs more than 100kg. He is a very strong wing. He lost in 2015, played professional basketball in Germany and Spain, and joined the Jazz in the offseason last year. This season, he played 69 games for the Jazz, averaging 16.7 minutes per game, scoring 5.0 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.4 assists.

Of course, Royce O'Neal couldn't play against Xie Kai's defense and passed the ball to Ingles.

Ingles made a slow breakthrough and then scored Gobert in the inside!

He was forced to catch the ball and push the duck eggs to the point of being strong - no!

Westbrook took the ball to close the board and fought back with the ball. The Jazz's defense was quick. Except for the two inside players, the others quickly returned to defense.

Westbrook did not barely make a comeback and distributed the ball to Xie Kai who followed.

Xie Kai faced Reus O'Neal's defense and controlled the ball slowly, and no one else could think of what he would do.

Although he is average in talent and has no special talents, Reus O'Neal is diligent and has no obvious weaknesses as a blue-collar player. He can shoot 3 points and defend. He survived the team-based Jazz team and has basically been confirmed to be one of the team's roster next season. Lu Yi was injured in this game, and he started the first player in the league. He also valued his defensive ability. Of course, some of the reasons are similar to cannon fodder.

Since no one can defend against it, let Mitchell be unable to defend, let a role player defend, even if there is a foul trouble, it will not affect the team's normal rotation.

Moreover, in terms of size, Mitchell, who is less than 1.9 meters tall, is now close to 100kg when going to defend. Basically, even if it is misaligned, Reus O'Neal is not particularly at a disadvantage than ordinary power forwards, but he is very energetic.

Just when everyone didn't know what Xie was doing at the meeting, he suddenly made a pass and the ball rushed straight into the hand of the duck egg under the basket!

Duck egg received the ball, and when Gobert was stunned, he made a layup - but the ball turned out!

The Thunder fans in the stands sighed - do you want to spit this cake?
