Lakers lost three consecutive times, and lost to Trail Blazers at home today. Due to the time of the game, most Lakers fans probably didn’t watch the live broadcast of this game, and after watching the live broadcast, I can only say that fortunately you didn’t watch it.
At 4:30 in the morning, I woke up and just ended the half. I looked at the data, the Lakers made 1 of 16 three-pointers. What kind of super ghost hit rate is this? I'm afraid it's only the day before yesterday that CBA Guangzhou lost 16 consecutive three-pointers.
Except for Reeves who made a gold three-pointer, the others failed to make the three-pointer. But that's it. The Lakers didn't fall behind in the first half and completed a reversal in the third quarter, and even led by 7 points with 2 minutes left in the fourth quarter.
Then the Lakers entered the familiar plot of being reversed. I have seen such plots countless times last season, and then this season will continue to be replayed. The Lakers' offense suddenly cut off power, and the Trail Blazers seized the opportunity to play the Lakers 11-2, and Grant successfully made a layup.
The Lakers have countless ways to win the game, but they once again chose the hardest path. In the last 36 seconds, Simmons made a layup, the Lakers led by 1 point and held the ball. At this time, the Lakers still took the initiative on the court.
Then the ball was handed to Westbrook . Westbrook went forward all the way, defending him Lillard and didn't even look at Westbrook at it. Nurkic behind him emptied Westbrook directly. The Trail Blazers wanted Westbrook to get impulsive, and then Westbrook took the bait.
Westbrook decisively pulled out and made a mid-range shot, and then hit the iron. At this time, the Lakers have 16 seconds left in the offensive time. I was instantly awake when I saw this ball. It was like pouring a basin of cold water, but it was just poured on the heads of the other Lakers.
Then Lillard went back and took the lead with a three-pointer and scored 2 points, James dunk tied, and Grant successfully won the final victory. It can be said that Westbrook's shooting choice in this round directly determines the Lakers' victory and defeat, and this round is close to allowing James and the Lakers to break the defense.
After the game, Hamm said that the team should improve its shooting choices. James said: " shooting choices are always part of the game. Whether it is the last minute or two of the game or the first few minutes of , you want to play in the right way. This is always the case, no matter the time and scores of the game."
This is just a matter of reporting Westbrook's identity as The certificate number was issued. A reporter asked James to give him a comment on Westbrook, but James didn't take the bait: ". Write Russ as you want. If you want to talk about his aspect, just write it. I don't want to do that here. I won't do that. I'm not that kind of person."
Westbrook's shooting choice in that round became everyone's emotional output point, but the reason why the Lakers lost was their three-pointer with 6 of 33 shots in the whole game. I once thought that the Lakers made 19 of 69 in the first two games, and a three-pointer with a shooting percentage of 27.5% was already the Lakers' bottom line, so I still underestimated the Lakers.
After this game today, the Lakers successfully became the worst offensive team in the league, no doubt about it. Their shooting percentage, three-point shooting percentage and offensive efficiency are the last in the league. So far this season, they made 25 of 118 three-pointers, with a shooting percentage of 21.1%.
and the Lakers' offensive efficiency is cliff-like. It has only had an offensive efficiency of 94.5 so far this season, and the second-to-last Bulls is 104. Similarly, the Bulls, whose three-point shooting percentage is second to last, also has a three-point shooting percentage of 29.3%.
The Lakers' offense can be said to be a historical level. The most reliable shooter in the team is actually the Graveyard boy Ryan. When your three-point shooting percentage is not visible for 30%, you cannot win any opponent.
During the offseason, the Lakers went through time and replaced various veterans, and found some guards who can run and jump, and the lineup has indeed become younger.The problem is that none of these people can vote. You can’t expect Schroder to save the world after the comeback of .
It’s like the east wall was removed and the west wall was half repaired. The east wall had completely collapsed. The Lakers are now leaking air from all sides. Westbrook also has its own cooling function. That round made everyone feel like they fell into an ice cave.
Westbrook's shooting percentage has been 28.9%, three-point shooting percentage has 8.3%, and real shooting percentage has been 36.6%. Westbrook made 4 of 26 shots in the past two games. The last Lakers player who shot at least 25 shots in two consecutive games was Westbrook himself, and he made 4 of 26 shots in two consecutive games at the beginning of this year. When I lost to the Warriors, I joked that the Lakers would definitely lose seven consecutive times. Next, we will play two games in , Nuggets, one game in , Timberwolves, and one game in the eighth game of the season. Look at the Jazz's status and then look at the Lakers' schedule.
The Lakers' first win in the season, I really don't know when I will get it...
