Lakers lost again. They lost to the Grizzlies 99-104 away game
Grizzlies performed well. Morant ushered in his career night, scoring 41 points and 10 rebounds in the whole game. Bain and Jaren Jr. also scored 20 points and 15 points respectively
The Memphis Young Impact Team composed of them punished the Lakers' weak inside line again and again
And the Lakers, a lot of problems were exposed again in this game. Let’s talk about Westbrook
3 got a triple-double in three consecutive games. In this game, he didn’t have many problems in the selection of shots.
Just when the Lakers scored 3 points in the fourth quarter, he used NBA-level layup selection + amateur layup to give his teammates who were chasing points a blow.
This has forgotten that it was the critical moment of Westbrook's season.
The understanding of this ball can be said to be that Westbrook has not yet realized the fact that his ability to bounce has declined. After jumping up, he found that the height was not enough, and then it was too late to change to layups.
Wife's side, on the eve of his 37th birthday, scored 37 points, 13 rebounds and 7 assists, and averaged 35+10+7html on the last six games. 6
is still the same old saying, you may not like James, but I have to admire him at this age, still having such ability and a competitive heart
James scored 11 points in the first quarter and led the team to the lead by relying on his three-pointer of 3 of 4 shots in the first quarter to lead the team to the lead
and saved the team again and again
But after all, she is here, and it is a back-to-back game. At the last moment, James slipped his soles and made a mistake in cooperation with Westbrook. He had no choice but to hand over the victory to
In this game, the old James not only took a lot of money on the offensive end, but also suffered from the impact of the young Grizzlies again and again on the defensive end.
(I say one thing, if the Grizzlies pick this ball If you fight, it's really not an offensive foul)
If you say that the Grizzlies are too terrible, no matter who you are at the bottom of the basket, you will go in unscrupulously
The Lakers' starting lineup arrangement today is quite reasonable (here may also be the head coach heard James's remarks yesterday)
Of course, more consideration is that the Grizzlies have big center Adams, the Lakers Finally, Howard was put on the starter
sent Howard + Bradley + Monk and James to starter
in the first quarter Howard demonstrated his excellent defense and successfully defended the Grizzlies' impact on the inside twice
What's more obvious is that when Howard got out, the Lakers sent "Death Five Smalls" again, from Melon, who has always been not good at defense, to the center position
Then the Grizzlies' inside offense became efficient in an instant
Not only that, in the second half of the third quarter, when Howard was not on the court, the Grizzlies were even more rampant. The Lakers' defensive rebounds
The opponent not only has Adams, but also a 3J with high arms and excellent movement ability. What can Howard do you use to beat others if you don't have to do it?
If Master Huo was in the rest stage at that time, he couldn't say anything more
Then what does the final lineup mean in the last quarter of the fourth quarter? Zhan Wei + Melon + Monk + Tucker (later replaced by Bradley)
Anthony felt bad in this game, and only made 1 of 8 shots in the game. Except for Monk, only James left with the shooting threat. l0 Therefore, because the attack space cannot be opened, the Grizzlies shrink their defense very little, resulting in the Lakers' offense at the end of the fourth quarter, which is extremely difficult for the Lakers to attack in the end of the fourth quarter.
There is no basket anyway, especially the opponent Adams, so why not go to Master Huo to grab the rebound?
So finally summarize the game in this game
The Lakers rely on James' outstanding performance and A reasonable starting lineup, coupled with the Grizzlies' inaccurate shooting in the early stage of the game, they achieved a temporary lead
, but the Grizzlies quickly reacted. They no longer became obsessed with outside shooting, but chose to take advantage of the Lakers' overall age and slow pace, and repeatedly hit the inside
plus the Lakers' last moment of unreasonable lineup arrangements and tactical designs, and finally reversed and won
Finally, let’s mention the trading rumors circulating in Beijing time last night
, the Pistons, who are in the reconstruction stage, are interested in listening to Grant’s trading intentions
. US media said that if the Lakers want to get Grant, they need to send Tucker + Nunn + the first round of 2027
here. What I want to say is that Nunn has not played in one game this season and is only one year younger than Grant. Tucker’s recent performance, do the Pistons really dare to ask for it?
If you really want to do it, I believe that the Lakers will immediately send two players to Detroit through a special plane
