On December 23, Beijing time, in the opening game between the NBA Lakers and the Clippers, the Lakers lost 109-116 to the Clippers and lost the game with a 7-point weakness, thus missed the start of the season.
Throughout the audience, the Lakers lost in the first and last quarters. In the first quarter of the game, the Lakers only scored 19 points, while the Clippers scored as high as 39 points. The formation of this gap caused the Lakers to bury the pit for the first quarter loss throughout the game, but the pit was too big to make up.
In the opening stage, the Lakers frequently hit the iron, Lao Zhan lost both free throws, and the Lakers were 11 points behind the Clippers in 2 minutes. For the Clippers, Ibaka, who has teamed up with the small card again this season, scored frequently for the Clippers, with 8 points in the opening stage. After the Lakers' timeout, they still couldn't improve. Although James scored the Lakers' first three-pointer after several attempts, the Lakers had a bad feel after the first quarter and made many mistakes. The quarter was 20 points behind the Clippers.
In the opening stage of the fourth quarter, the Lakers have almost wiped out their disadvantages through two consecutive quarters. However, because George was too brave, how he made his shots, he never left the Lakers a chance to overtake, and as the Clippers expanded their advantage from 2 points to 5 points and 7 points, the Lakers completely lost the opportunity to start the goal. In the end, the Lakers regretfully defeated the Clippers by 7 points, and suffered a black start to the first game of the new season!
In the whole game, on the Lakers side, James contributed the highest number of Lakers, he got 22 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, while Davis contributed 18 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists. On the Clippers side, Leonard contributed 26 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals, and George contributed 33 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal. In the whole game, both sides made a lot of mistakes. The Lakers had a total of 19 times on the team, of which James and Davis accounted for 8 times. The Clippers have fewer turnovers. The team has a total of 16 times, of which George and Leonard accounted for 8 times.
Of course, the reason why the Lakers regretted losing the Clippers can be seen from the positive and negative values of the Lakers team. After the end of the game, only James had a plus-minus value of +2 among the Lakers' starters, while the rest of the players were all negative. Among them, Davis has a positive or negative value of -16, Schroder is -10, Pau Gasol is -8, and Pope is -9. It can be said that the Lakers failed to reverse the win in the end, and it has a huge relationship with the starter's downturn and the iron.
