Nba: Five Big Moves At The Start

His eyes returned to the court.

The warm-up time ended quickly, and the players from both teams returned to the bench. The starters took off their warm-up clothes, arranged their jerseys and sneakers, and then got ready to go on the field.

Utah Jazz starting lineup: Ricky Rubio (guard), Donovan Mitchell (guard), Derrick Favors (forward), Joe Ingles (forward), Rudy Gobert (center).

Los Angeles Lakers starting lineup: Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (guard), Josh Hart (guard), Qin Rui (forward), Brandon Ingram (forward), Brook Lowe Pace (center).

Game start.

"Jump, ball!"

Jump ball between Gobert and Lopez.

Gobert is 2.16 meters tall and has an arm length of 2.35 meters. From height to arm length, he completely crushes Lopez. The two took off at the same time. Gobert surpassed him by more than half a hand and lifted the basketball.

"Snapped!"

Rubio caught the basketball and scored the first possession of the game.

Advancing forward, he brought the ball to the center of the arc, looked around the entire court, and when he saw Gobert confronting Lopez in the penalty area, he ran back and threw him away.

"It's now!"

"Wow!"

Rubio has quick eyes and quick hands, and with a high-profile ball, he accurately throws the basketball into the basket.

"Kick!"

Gobert bent his knees, jumped up like a green onion on dry land, raised his long arms, hugged the basketball with both hands, and looked up at Lopez, sighing with joy.

"Boom!"

Explode the rim and complete a two-handed dunk!

"Oh... Gobert's first attack was an alley-oop two-handed dunk, which fully demonstrated his dominance in the penalty area."

"López seems to be out of luck tonight."

Rear studio.

O'Neal and Barkley blinked, shocked by Gobert's dunk.

"Oh, my, god! What a cool dunk, this is simply a violent aesthetic!"

"See, this is the power of the French "monster", unstoppable and unmatched!"

"This bounce, this arm length, so strong!"

"Gobert!"

"Gobert! Gobert! Gobert!"

Just one goal.

The roar of the home fans quickly ignited the atmosphere at home. The momentum of the Jazz players also increased sharply at this moment, and their fighting spirit also burned.

This is home field advantage.

This is the "devil's home court" of the Jazz.

On the field.

The game continues.

"cut!"

"He just deceived me."

Lopez snorted. He made a mistake at the beginning, which made him quite dissatisfied with his performance. He secretly made up his mind to guard Gobert closely tonight.

"Bang bang bang!"

Pope quickly advanced with the ball, took the ball to the top of the arc on the left, and distributed the ball to Qin Rui in the middle of the arc.

"Snapped!"

The moment Qin Rui held the ball, his center of gravity suddenly dropped, and he accelerated one step to the left. He was very fast, like a strong wind, and appeared in front of striker Favors in the blink of an eye.

"Whoosh!"

The latter subconsciously thought that Qin Rui was going to rush to the low position on the left. With his eyes widened, he immediately rushed down with all his strength.

"Stab it!"

However, Qin Rui suddenly stopped.

"Oops!"

Favors realized something was wrong, but his focus had shifted and he couldn't stop.

One step of breakthrough knocked Favors out of sight. It's not that Qin Rui's breakthrough skills are gorgeous, but that his shooting is too threatening.

Favors had to follow.

"Uh-huh!"

On the left side of the free throw line, Qin Rui took a shot from mid-range and scored steadily into the basket.

All of this is said to be so much, but in fact it only happened in a matter of seconds.

Gobert's side had just made an alley-oop, and Qin Rui immediately returned the favor, slightly suppressing the momentum that the Jazz continued to soar at home.

Jazz possession.

Mitchell served from the baseline, Rubio received the ball and advanced, took the ball to the center of the top of the arc, and gave a lob to Gobert in a key position in the penalty area.

"Snapped!"

Gobert caught the ball, backed up Lopez, exerted force on his back, took a step inside, then turned around... faced Lopez's defense, and threw directly.

"Clang!"

The ball had a little more power and bounced out of the frame.

Although he didn't score, it was obvious from the matchup that Gobert played very easily, or that Lopez failed to interfere too much with Gobert's offense at all.

Lakers bench.

Walton frowned, Lopez's performance made him a little worried.

"Snapped!"

The basketball flew out of the frame, Qin Rui collected it, and quickly distributed the ball to Hart outside the three-point line. There were only Hart, Qin Rui and Jazz guard Rubio in the frontcourt.

Two-on-one in the frontcourt.

The Lakers' fast break counterattack, Hart's right side sprinted at full speed. Rubio wanted to mark Qin Rui behind him, but... Hart's momentum was too strong. If he didn't care, he would directly face the empty basket.

have no choice.

He could only follow Hart first.

"Wow!"

At this moment, Hart made a sideways long throw, and Qin Rui, who followed up on the left, caught the ball high on the left and made an emergency stop. A textbook mid-range shot... again.

The basketball drew a beautiful parabola in the air.

"Uh-huh!"

Hollow hit.

The ultimate move [Unresolvable Mid-range Shot] has a 100% hit rate when no one is defending. In this two-on-one fast break, there is no reason to miss.

Jazz (2): (4) Lakers.

Jazz possession.

Rubio once again lobbed the basket in the frontcourt and found Gobert, just to let Gobert eat Lopez alone, even though Lopez fought hard to defend.

"Uh-huh!"

Gobert still took advantage of his height and arm length to turn around and finish the shot, finishing hard.

However......

Immediately afterwards, Qin Rui broke into the low post on the right, ignored Favors' defense, and hit his head again from mid-range, returning the favor.

No matter how Favors blocked the shot, it was to no avail. It felt like Qin Rui used Favors' shot-blocking arm as a sight and shot arrows into the bull's-eye one by one.

The first quarter is over.

Qin Rui's mid-range and Gobert's strong attack inside are the biggest highlights of this quarter, but from a viewing point of view, Gobert is even better.

The physical collisions and the basketball bombing of the basket were very visual impact.

"Gobert's performance was so strong. He made 5 of 9 shots in the first quarter, 2 of 4 free throws, and scored 12 points and 5 rebounds in a single quarter. This amazing efficiency is leading to the Lakers' winning streak."

Buckley said.

"Yes."

O'Neal nodded heavily and said: "Lopez was beaten by Gobert tonight. Gobert was so accurate, the Lakers should have fallen behind in the first quarter."

Having been immersed in Gobert's violent aesthetics, neither of them had time to look at the score data.

Said.

The two of them then looked at the data.

At this sight, O'Neill's pupils suddenly shrank.

Jazz (33): (37) Lakers.

"What? The Lakers are still leading?!"

O'Neal was surprised. Barkley quickly looked at the data carefully, then his eyes widened, shook his head and sighed: "You think Gobert is very efficient."

"I don't know."

"This kid Qin Rui made 8 of 9 shots in a single quarter and scored 16 points and 4 rebounds. This shooting percentage and efficiency are even more terrifying than Gobert."

"wow~~"

O'Neal couldn't laugh or cry: "Qin Rui's mid-range is so accurate. Why do you feel that Qin Rui smells like a "two-point version of Curry"?!"
