Donovan Mitchell scored 71 points in a single game today.
People who have scored so many points in a single game in NBA history: Chamberlain, Kobe Bryant, Skywalker Thompson, Baylor, Robinson-Mitchell.
Michelle scored so many points, of course, due to his outstanding individual-written before this season:
The Knights of last season did not lack the front court, defense, altitude, and organizers, so there was no wild scorer.
Donovan Mitchell has a lot of problems: no ball is unstable, the defense is lack of oppression, the shooting choice is careless, the defensive station is watching the rebound, the attack is in a hurry, shooting birds with random guns.
But the explosive power of scoring with the ball……
Career playoff games averaged 28 points, the seventh in NBA history-although only played 39 games, it was still scary enough.
On the explosive power of scoring, Mitchell has always been a historical level.
But today, such a historical performance broke out, which is still a good time and place.
The location is quite clear, Knight’s home court.
— This season, the Cavaliers have 17 wins and 4 losses at home, ranking first in the East so far.
— Today’s referee is very suitable for Mitchell. Not to say that there are more than whistle: Bull 33 foul against Knight 27, Bull 34 free throw against Knight 45. The scale is roughly balanced.
But whistle are tight on both sides: whistle tight, desperate role players such as Knight’s loafers and bull’s Caruso are unlucky and sent off; Wrist such as Mitchell and drozan are comfortable:
Mitchell 25 free throws-Kobe 81 points, the 20 free throws-12 free throws in the third quarter.
Man and: The Knight has already won two bull games this season, and just won one a few days ago.
What is more important is that the Knight lacks two key points: Garland and mobry today, which can only rely on Mitchell.
What is the impact of the lack of big shots on the high score?
— Curry was out today, Clay scored 54 points.
— When Harden just missed, enbyde scored 59 points.
-Leblanc scored 47 points and 43 points in the past two games. Davis has averaged 35 points since he was injured.
— So Mitchell is not only 71 points today, but also 11 assists: 70 points +10 assists in the first game in history.
Finally…… Opposite to Mitchell are coach vachevich and Donovan.
They are all word-cutting generation. What does Vucevic have to do with Mitchell?
Since 2019, Mitchell and Vucevic have played ten games, from magic to bull. When they met Vucevic, they swiped their cards: during this period, only two games did not score 30 points.
Today, Mitchell scored 71 points.
Coach donowan was relatively one-track: four years ago, he brought Thunder, including Wei Shao George melon and Grant. In the first round of the playoffs, he was eliminated by rookie Michelle and jazz: It was the first time in Mitchell’s career to become famous.
Mitchell started to play breakthrough points. In the first quarter, he scored three points at the bottom of the two assists: without Garland, he had to hold the ball and set it.
In the second section, Mitchell beat Vucevic two in a row and tasted the sweetness. Coach Donovan did not adjust at that time: he was relatively one-track, and he was still ahead anyway. Play step by step.
— This season’s data, the defensive EPM, Vucevic the last 4% level of the league; The basket protection rate is 3.6%, and the league’s last 26% level; 71% of the time is in the opposite center, relieve a garrison ability basic alliance bottom.
Namely:
Let Vucevic protect the rebounding board and carry the long man. He can do it; He can’t do anything about the surprise of Mitchell.
In the third quarter, Mitchell found that the bull was not aimed at controlling him. So:
Vucevic half-way defense, flying across the sky.
Vucevic high delay, directly burst.
The periphery is empty Vucevic, forcing the Lavin order to prevent Mitchell, and the jump shot is stopped urgently-Lavin needs to take care of the basket and eat and shake.
Directly start the speed, Europe has reached Vucevic to solve the problem.
In the penalty area of Mitchell’s third quarter, there were 6 shots and 5 shots, 12 free throws and 24 points in a single quarter.
The fourth section is more fun.
Caruso tried to match Mitchell, but Mitchell could block him with one cover and face the Vucevic directly. The bull had to close around, so Mitchell even found Osman to lay in the basket.
Vucevic to go online to delay, Mitchell assists loafers three-pointer.
Vucevic went to the opposite Allen, so Mitchell assisted Allen in dunk.
In the last 23 seconds, Mitchell broke through and made up the position Vucevic. Mitchell gave Allen an empty dunk to catch up with a difference of 1 point.
After Allen hooked and shot, Mitchell deliberately punished Luca’s absolute flat a few days ago and dragged him into overtime.
That’s it:
Mitchell scored 5 points symbolically in the first quarter, but the bottom corner of the two assists was three points, and the bull expanded its defense.
In the second section, Mitchell scored 11 points, and found the sweet head, “this Vucevic thick meat head, delicious!”
In the third quarter, Mitchell scored 24 points and fried Vucevic for cooking.
Section 4 Mitchell 18 points 6 assists-hello to Ottoman and Allen’s internal cut, “brother, Don’t wait, everyone come to the table together!”
In overtime, Mitchell felt completely open, and there were shoot behind the arc strong ones. In turn, the bull ran out of strength, his mentality collapsed, and the Knight reversed.
At first glance, today’s Vucevic 8 shots scored 20 points and 13 rebounds, the data is good, but-19; This game is Michelle chasing Vucevic, eating from the beginning to the end.
Off-topic:
In the battle of becoming famous, it was the rookie year that eliminated the thunder of Wei Shao, melon and George with jazz: the coach of that team was donowan, and the center of that thunder was Adams, a New Zealander.
Second-time fame, it was the 2020 jazz war nuggets, and Mitchell scored 57 points and 51 points in a single game: the opposite center was jokedge in the Balkan Peninsula.
Mitchell is born to cut international players, especially the head of the Balkan Peninsula?
In 2021jazz war Clippers, Mitchell scored 45 points in the first game, and Coach Lu immediately changed the starting point in the second game, taking down the Croatian center zubatz.
— Don’t you want coach Lu to be alert and bold? When I saw that Mitchell was about to taste the benefits, I quickly went to the small lineup to deal with Mitchell.
The location and people have finished talking, and there are still days left.
With 71 points from Mitchell, there have been 9 people, 13 games and 50 + in NBA this season-three games in Lucca, two in enbide and two in Booker.
In the 1962-63 season, NBA played 34 games and 50 +: Chamberlain played 30 games and Baylor played 4 games.
The NBA game averaged 114 points this season, the ninth in history. In 1963, the average score of 115 points was the seventh in history.
In addition to this season, the top 11 high scoring seasons in history were concentrated between 1960 and 1971.
Yes: what we are now in is the second highest score in NBA history-the 1960 s, which is second only to Chamberlain, Russell, Oscar, West and Baylor who have compiled various historical data.
The last thing.
The legend of the high score between the knight and the bull was that the knight scored 69 points against the bull at home 32 years ago.
Thirty-two years later, the Cavaliers scored 71 points against the bull at home.
Jordan wore size 23 and Mitchell wore size 45.
Jordan: 45th? A little familiar……
