first talks about two time nodes.
first.
7 minutes and 57 seconds in the third quarter, when James hit a free throw, Lakers and Nuggets tied to 67.
second one.
3 minutes and 45 seconds in the third quarter. When Brown received a pass from Pope and hit a three-pointer, the Nuggets led 83:75.
took 4 minutes and 10 seconds from a tie to 8 points behind. In other words, during this period, the Lakers were beaten 16:8 by the Nuggets.
"Three Collapses in Lake" arrived as scheduled?
In fact, among the 5 games that lost, except for the Trail Blazers and Timberwolves , the Lakers collapsed in the third quarter, and the opening match against the Warriors lost 13 points in a single quarter at 19:32.
What is the reason for the frequent occurrence of "Hu San Crash"?
Take this game as an example.
In the third quarter, coach Ham once sent a lineup of Westbrook , Rivers , Brown, James and Gabriel.
Based on this lineup, my understanding is:
①Offensive end
ml05 players have stable mid-range shooting ability, which will bring opponents can unscrupulously shrink their defense line, so it will be more difficult for James and Westbrook to break through.
To put it more, Westbrook averaged 12.5 breakthroughs per game in the 22-23 season, and the final efficiency was 40%; James' two-game figures were 8.6 and 50%.
②Defensive end
Strictly speaking, Gabriel, who is 206 and weighs 93 kg, can only be the front line, but under this lineup, he has to swing upwards to the No. 5 position. You should know that the No. 5 position opposite the Nuggets is Jokic, who is 211 in height and weighs 128 kg. Without considering other factors, it is just a crushing existence just from the perspective of body shape.
From the perspective of both offense and defense, the Lakers are neither good. But what is puzzled is that this lineup has played for a total of 3 minutes and 52 seconds.
The good thing is that "Hu San Crash" did not arrive as expected. The turning point was that Lonnie Walker once again replaced James at 3 minutes and 52 seconds. On the
data, Walker scored 10 points in less than 4 minutes afterwards.
- 5 shots 4
① 2 shots in mid-range shots;
② 2 shots in three-pointers;
③ 1 shots in aerial relay;
From the split data, Walker's five shots spanned the three half-court areas under the basket, middle distance, and three-pointers , and the efficiency is relatively good compared to each area.
Thanks to Walker's outstanding performance, the Lakers also overtook the score by 93:85 at the end of the three quarters.
built an advantage through the third quarter, and the Lakers finally defeated the Nuggets 121:110 and ushered in their first victory in the season.
Judging from the game trend, I think Walker is the existence of the surprise weapon in this game alone. This is reflected in two aspects:
From a data perspective, Walker scored 10 points from in the last 18 points in the third quarter. What is commendable is that this was achieved when the whole team couldn't open the scoring situation. Therefore, to a certain extent, it is " timely help " and not " icing on the cake ".
From a technical and tactical perspective, thanks to the hot touch on the outside, Walker can end the offense; retreat can open up space for teammates' offense.
like this round.
When Westbrook broke through with the ball in the face frame, the Nuggets players responsible for defending the bottom corner Walker have never dared to give up Westbrook to double-team. In the end, Westbrook's breakthrough attracted the defensive center of gravity and passed it to Rivers on the outside, helping the latter make a layup.
can restrain defensive players, which is rare among Lakers outside players.
Two sentences about Walker's CET and three-point majority.
① Centre-shot
In the 213 games so far in his career, Walker's average shooting percentage is 39.6%. In comparison, DeRozan, who is good at CPI, is averaging 44.2% in his career.
②Three-pointers
In the 213 games so far in his career, Walker averaged 33.6% of his three-pointers and 1.2 goals. Although the efficiency is not as good as the top shooters like Curry and Klay , it is relatively good.
From these two points, Walker can become a surprise in this game not because of "'s luck is overwhelming ", but because of "'s strength, ". In other words, if you keep it, you will still have the possibility of becoming a surprise weapon in the future.
Of course, in addition to Walker, in my opinion, the Lakers have a surprise in this game, that is Westbrook.
From the data, Westbrook scored 18 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists. This is the best game since the start of the game. What is commendable is that this is achieved when the substitute comes out, and the surprise comes from here.
In 1025 games so far in his career, Westbrook can deliver 8.4 assists with a per-game round usage rate of 32.1%.
Nunn 57.1%, Brown 69.2%, Rivers 78.6%, Gabriel 80%, Anderson and Christie are all 100%.
Judging from the data, the Lakers substitute players' assist rate is 50%. Therefore, to a certain extent, it lacks independent offensive ability. In this way, Westbrook can effectively connect them together after digesting a certain amount of ball rights.
Just like this game, the six Lakers substitutes scored a total of 41 points, which was not before.
In other words, Westbrook’s substitute delivers the positive and positive effects of .
Obviously, this is more happy than winning. After all, after finding Westbrook's " to use " method, winning may be endless.
