As a short guard with a height of only 1.9 1 m, Mitchell, who is only 2 1 year old, was the first round 13 of the Nuggets acquired by the Jazz in this summer. They selected such a rookie player from the University of Louisville. Because Hayward has left the team to join the Celtics and Hood has been absent for a long time due to injury, Mitchell can gradually stabilize the starting position of the Jazz through his own efforts. Mitchell has continued to play a fiery performance in the near future, especially in reversing the defeat of the Twin Towers Pelican. Mitchell scored 4 1 minute, which set the rookie's highest scoring record in a single game this season, showing unparalleled scoring ability.
In today's battle, Mitchell undoubtedly worked very hard against the Rockets, especially against Harden. Just too impatient, Mitchell only played 4-0 in the first quarter, and scored 2 points by free throws in the first quarter. However, Mitchell's performance is also gradually rising. After strengthening the breakthrough, he scored 4 points in the second quarter, but the score contrast of 6- 15 at half-time was still suppressed by Harden.
After the break in the opening stage of the last section, Mitchell, who re-appeared, became the chasing arrow figure of Jazz. He made 3-for-3 shots in 8 minutes100% and kept making foul free throws, so that he got 1 1 point in the last quarter, which once helped the jazz get close to the score, regained hope and forced Harden to make a comeback to stabilize the situation.
Although the Jazz finally regretted losing, Mitchell scored 26 points with two three-pointers in this game, and still set a number of records again: First, he hit 63 three-pointers in the first 26 games of his career, surpassing the records of Iverson and Lillard, ranking first among historical rookies; Secondly, he has scored 25+ points in five games, becoming the rookie player who scored the most 25+ points in a single season since the Jazz bombed 25+ postman Malone seven times in 1985-86 season. Third, he scored 20+ points in five consecutive games, becoming darrell griffith who scored 20+ points in eight consecutive games since 1980-8 1 season. Jazz is the first rookie to do this in the past 30 years, which undoubtedly gives him the capital to challenge Ben Simmons to win the Best Rookie Award.
