On the other side, the game between the Clippers and the Jazz was very tense, and it has now been played 2:2. In Presti's impression, the final result of the previous life was that the Clippers and the Jazz lost the tiebreaker, and the Jazz entered the next round.

But judging from the current scene, there is no suspense for the Jazz to advance. In the two games the Clippers won, Paul's mid-range shots were too accurate. Presti knew that Paul would never be so accurate later, and the biggest problem for the Clippers now is that the Jazz got blown inside!
The current Clippers do not have Jordan Jr., but the Jazz have Gobert, who was trained by Presti, who crushed the Clippers inside, and Gobert alone supported the Jazz's defensive system, causing the Clippers' shooting rate at the basket to plummet!
A few days later, it really confirmed Presti's prediction. The Jazz won two more games in a row and eliminated the Clippers 4:2. In the last two games, Gobert played bravely. In the fifth game, he scored 17 points, 15 rebounds, 7 offensive boards and 4 blocks.
