Chapter 140: Fight Again, Mitchell
You can say that.
Many fans are looking forward to how this game will go.
First of all, Mitchell's growth is indeed very exciting.
Just from these few games, one can feel that he has fully adapted to the intensity of the NBA arena.
This is really surprising!
If Sashiro is a child of destiny, then...
Mitchell is undoubtedly a rising star!
Almost all the players in their team recognized Mitchell's performance, and the team even intended to train him as a core!
And today's showdown between the two will be even more interesting.
Before the game, the media also pulled Michel aside and interviewed him.
"Do you feel any pressure in this match against Sashiro?"
"People say Sashiro is the strongest rookie this year. Do you want to take this opportunity to prove yourself?"
"In this game, can you perform as well as before?"
...
Mitchell had only one answer to these questions:
" This is my house."
This is my horse, oh no, this is my home field.
Everyone can see that Mitchell is still quite confident about this game.
Of course, Mitchell is not arrogant.
Just because he knew.
Here in Salt Lake City, no team can escape unscathed!!
If this were an online game, this environmental bonus would definitely be a bug skill like reducing the opponent's overall attributes by 30%.
When the Lakers just arrived at the Jazz's home court, they already felt that the air here seemed thinner than theirs.
Although several people did not show any obvious physical discomfort.
But.
This feeling always exists.
Makes them feel very uncomfortable.
In the lounge, the coach said to them:
"This match is the ultimate test of will and endurance!! What you need is not superb skills, nor perfect tactics, but your will to overcome your own fatigue! !"
"All we need to do here is to persevere and hold on to the end, and we will win!!"
"Although people outside say that Salt Lake City's home winning rate has always been high, that's not true for us."
"We will win this game, relying on our strong will!!"
"Don't let yourself regret it, everyone try your best, grit your teeth!!"
"Do you understand?!"
"clear!!!"
"Okay, guys, let's go!"
...
As everyone excitedly headed towards the arena, Sashiro hesitated in his heart.
The message I received...
Is it true?
However, I believe the answer will be revealed soon.
After a simple warm-up, the starting players of both teams all stood in place and came to the court.
Sashiro took a look at the opposing team's lineup.
"Donovan Mitchell, Ricky Rubio, Derrick Favors, Joe Ingles and Rudy Gobert..."
Damn?
It's exactly the same as what was written in the private message! ?
But after a moment, Sashiro calmed down again. After all, the strength of the opponent's starting players was basically determined and could be roughly guessed.
Although it is a bit surprising, it is not something too big.
The key point is what the next tactics will be.
On the court, Donovan Mitchell of the Jazz faced Sashiro directly and looked Sashiro up and down.
This man is still the same as he was in the NCAA. It seems that he doesn't have any outstanding qualities.
But don't be fooled by him!
Under his harmless appearance, he hides a devil! !
Devil!!!
You know.
When Mitchell played against him in the NCAA, he thought Sashiro was just a name in name only.
But in the end, I suffered a great loss!!
That game was deeply engraved in his mind, and he even dreamed about it sometimes.
Hiss...
He touched his right ankle.
Although the sprain had healed long ago, he would never forget the feeling of being ruthlessly knocked down in front of everyone that day.
Oh shit...!
I can't take it lightly this time!!
In my home court, I don't believe you can win this time!
It can be said that Mitchell was fully prepared this time, and he and his teammates were full of confidence.
The Jazz cannot be considered a weak team this year. It can even be said that their team strength is quite good.
The lineup is reasonable. Although Gordon Hayward was traded, the team is more active with the addition of Mitchell.
They are still the favorite to qualify for the playoffs!
Even if it's just to prove themselves, they must win this game!!
At this time, the commentator said on the field:
"Today we can see that the entire team is in really good shape!! After all, it's a home game against the Lakers. It seems that every player on the Jazz is very confident!!"
"That's natural. After all, this is their home ground, with a familiar environment and enthusiastic fans!!"
"But it seems that the Lakers are not to be outdone, and their condition is not bad either!"
"So, as expected of top professional athletes, they have strong adaptability."
"Then let's see how the two teams' players will perform after the game starts!!"
...
Before the game, the coach gave them the tactic of keeping a close eye on the Jazz.
Don't let them attack!
Every ball must be taken seriously.
However, such an approach will undoubtedly increase their physical exhaustion, which is completely contrary to the content of the private message.
Certainly.
Sashiro also did not say that he doubted the coach's policy because of this.
He who listens to both sides will gain a clear vision.
Sashiro plans to see the situation first. If there are no unexpected events, he plans to continue according to the coach's instructions.
But if the other party really uses the tactic in the message on his phone...
Then Sashiro really needs to think about it!
At this time, amid the anticipation of all the spectators, the competition officially began.
The referee threw the ball into the air.
Here, Rudy Gobert of the Utah Jazz took the lead.
He suddenly jumped high, stretched his body as hard as he could, and passed the ball back to his team.
Brook Lopez was still a little short after all.
In fact, the moment he jumped, he felt that his jumping ability today did not seem to be as good as in his usual training.
It's not a very obvious difference.
It's just that he had this feeling, and the moment he jumped up he felt a little weak...
After the Utah Jazz got the ball, they passed it directly to Donovan Mitchell.
Donovan Mitchell held the ball and yelled to his teammates:
"Follow the coach's instructions and make a fast break!!"
