Rudy Gobert at ease in the new offensive style of Jazz

Even if this was only the first game of the season and it will be necessary to observe if this trend is confirmed over time, the Jazz intend to shoot from afar this season. The 50 3-point attempts against Portland are far above last season’s average (35 award-winning shots attempted per game).

Obviously, in the long term, this bonus for long-distance shoots will deprive Rudy Gobert of ammunition. But the Frenchman does not seem disturbed by this new situation.

“When the bullet goes, it doesn’t matter who takes the shot”, estimates the pivot to Deseret News. “I manage to free my teammates by making screens, moving around or making passes. It is fun. It’s nice to be a part of that. As long as the shots are good, the attack is successful. “

What will be interesting for the Frenchman is precisely the moments when the defenses will be concentrated on the outside positions. A skilful Jazz from afar, these are spaces that open up to him, near the basket.

“If we shoot, Rudy can take advantage of the space to attack the circle. This is what causes spacing. In the other direction, Rudy puts the pressure near the circle and it’s good for the shooters ”

“If we shoot, Rudy can take advantage of the space to attack the circle”, analysis Quin Snyder. “This is what causes spacing. In the other direction, Rudy puts pressure near the circle and it’s good for shooters. Whether Gobert attacks, plays the pick-and-roll, or that the players penetrate, it all makes for award-winning shots. “

And who says more long-range shots, also says more potential rebounds.

Rudy Gobert took four offensive rebounds against Portland and only needed ten shots to score 20 points. Its presence under the panel allowed the shooters to have air.

“It’s thanks to him, to his work on the rebound”, souligne Donovan Mitchell. “We haven’t announced a system for him and he still compiles 20 points and 17 rebounds. He does a remarkable job. There will be times when we will find him at the station. But there, as in Game 7 against the Nuggets of the last playoffs, the bulk of its impact is on the rebound. It’s fabulous for us. “
