The Cleveland Cavaliers won the 2022-2023 NBA regular season Milwaukee Bucks 114-102 at the Cleveland Rockets Mortgage Fieldhouse on the 22nd (Korean time).
On this day, Evan Mobley recorded 38 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists, leading the team’s attack and presenting victory in place of Donovan Mitchell, who was absent due to a groin injury.
Mobley relentlessly attacked Milwaukee’s paint zone, where Giannis Antetokounmpo was absent due to a knee injury.
Of course, Brooke Lopez, who is second in the league with an average of 2.5 blocks per game this season, was at the bottom of the goal, but Mobley showed off his attacking instincts and finished the game with a high field goal success rate of 70.4% (19/27).
It is not uncommon for Mobley to show his presence in an attack like this. He attempted more than 20 field goals only four times after his NBA메이저놀이터 debut before the game on this day, and only once on March 15, 2022, when he scored 30 points in a game. His most points scored all season was also just 26 points.
However, as Mitchell was absent, Mobley, who was well aware that his role in the offense had grown on this day, actively sought to score and broke his own record for most goals in a game.
Mobley, who joined Cleveland with the 3rd overall pick in the 2021 rookie draft, immediately took the starting position and made a soft landing on the professional stage with an average of 15.0 points, 8.3 rebounds and 1.7 blocks last season.
Following this season, he is performing steadily without a sophomore jinx with an average of 15.11 points and 8.9 rebounds. Above all, the field goal success rate (50.8% → 56.5%) has increased compared to last season, and it seems that experience is gradually accumulating.
With the addition of Mobley, the growth of Darius Garland, and the addition of Mitchell, Cleveland, which has formed a decent squad, is 29-19 this season and is ranked 5th in the Eastern Conference. If Mobley gets more explosive on offense like he did today, Cleveland could be a more formidable team than it is today.
