El jazz suena en el ‘‘oeste’’ / Jazz sounds in the ‘‘west’’ | ESP-ENG
When we see the performance of the Utah Jazz team this NBA season, we find that they dominate the ''West'' side of the league, occupying the first place, one would say yes! this is fine, normal! this quintet finished among the first 8 of its conference last season, but after the departure of its main figure as was Donovan Mitchell, via change last September, the team would be a little diminished in theory, betting more on the reconstruction and thinking about the future, finding that this bet is already giving immediate results, The players involved in this operation are already bearing the expected fruits, leading the Salt Lake team to obtain so far an important record of 12 and 6 over the potential favorite teams for this 2022-2023 contest in the always competitive Far West Conference.
EL JAZZ SUENA EN EL ‘‘OESTE’’ / JAZZ SOUNDS IN THE ''WEST''
Unexpectedly the Jazz music has been playing very hard these last days in the ''west'' conference of the NBA this season, of course! I speak literally, this may not have been seen since the 90's, when Karl the ''mailman'' Malone and Jhon Stockton dominated the league in this area, or when Carlos Boozer and Deron Williams in the mid 2000's also obtained their prominence by placing the Utah Jazz in the first places, It took a long time of waiting for the white and purple team to unexpectedly be in the first places again this season, after having lost several of their main pieces, compromising their good game that characterized them a lot last season.
All this good start is the responsibility of the strong forward and Finnish center, Louri Markkanen, he along with Collin Sexton have carried, so to speak, with the total responsibility of this Utah team, not to mention Jordan Clarkson, who have formed a truly competitive trident that have surprised many in this start, not because of their talent, their actions on the court are already highly recognized, but because of the way they have teamed up and have taken this performance to work collectively, reflecting this in the standings with a record mentioned above of 12y6.
Representing a great promise as any European player, Markkanen since he came to the NBA with the Chicago Bulls team, showed great potential, but the lack of consistent play and some injuries reneged him to the bench and became a player of the background, taking him later to Cleveland, where he saw a little more game, showing a little more, and achieved relatively good seasons, which led him to be the piece for which he was brought to the West, good height and good development in the heights, in penetration and long distance shooting, qualities that helped the Cavaliers last season to surprise in the ''Eastern''
Many teams bet on a certain player, hoping that these, achieve the objectives for which they were hired, but when that piece does not pay off, that's where the problems come, it turns out that sometimes this poor performance a little difficult to get rid of, causing constant changes in the team, which lead to transactions in search of a solution, Cleveland was a way out for Lauiri and at the same time an escape route for the team, to bring other pieces to help them put together a competitive team to fight for a definitive place in the post-season, and also being this situation, a showcase to show themselves to other teams in order to get some interest.
CAMBIOS QUE SON ACERTADOS / CHANGES THAT ARE SUCCESSFUL
When a player is traded, it is because one of the parties, or at least the one that is going to receive a player, such is the case of Lauiri and the Jazz, expects that this will cover the needs that is looking to supply, sometimes it is simply to change airs or change hair by hair as they say colloquially, a player position by position, or place in a certain position a player with other characteristics, looking for something new, which leads you to mark a new destination, thinking about the future, also adding that in the operation, to be able to benefit, as I believe is the case of the Jazz, by adding 3 extremely valuable pieces, (Lauri Markkanen-Ochai Agbaji-Collin Sexton) and only releasing a single one to the Cleveland team (Donovan Mitchell).
There are transactions that make a player have another face in the team to which he arrives, simply the change is very good for them, it is that kind of turns in his professional career that they need, to finish showing everything he is capable of doing on the board, leaving behind other things and taking out what they had retained, seeming this last aspect lie, but it seems that this would have to happen to be totally free and show it fully in his new home, everything, for which once they were hired and paid a very important amount of money.
VERDAD O FICCIÓN.? / TRUTH OR FICTION?
It is too early in the season to make predictions about teams and records, but what we can say is that the Utah Jazz team in these early changes, have shown a level which has helped them to stay at the top of their conference, they are an extremely young team and have blended very well, but it remains to be seen if they will be able to stay in this place, not because of their youth, because their strength and momentum is there, but we do not know if they will have enough maturity as a team to withstand the expected onslaught of the Golden State Warriors, Phoenix Suns, Memphis Grizzlies and Dallas Mavericks, who are a little slow in their beginnings, but are expected to have an awakening.
El talento y la calidad está ahí, si vemos como están jugando estos chicos, parece sorpresivo y hasta de alguna forma insospechada, Laurin Markkanen tiene estadísticas por partido de 22.3 puntos, siendo su mayor fuerte también el área de los rebotes, la cual registra 8.4 por jornada, también tenemos a Jordan Clarkson, quien con sus 18.6 puntos por noche, complementan los números de Lauri y hacen de este núcleo de jugadores, creen un ambiente competitivo con respecto al resto, pero lo más sorprendente de todo es la actuación de Lauri el viernes por la noche frente a los rivales a vencer en la teoría, los Phoenix Suns, el jugador Europeo cosechó 38 puntos, el máximo en su carrera para no solo guiar a su equipo a la victoria, si no que mostró ese día, su capacidad anotadora a todo dar, como evidencia de que será una gran temporada a nivel individual y a nivel colectivo, demostrando una vez más que su cambio a la ciudad de Utah representó algo fabuloso para el.
