From the early stage of the season to the playoffs , to the current bleak record, the impression that Lakers leaves on fans is more confusion and struggle. Some fans even began to boycott the Lakers because in their hearts, the Lakers are invincible and are forever Purple Gold Dynasty . They don’t want to see the Lakers fall and lose.
As Westbrook switched to substitute, the media and fans finally didn't have to pinch him. Because Westbrook's data on playing as a substitute is obviously better than the data on playing as a main player. More importantly, the team won the game.
defeated Spurs in succession, and the media questioned that it was not good to win. After all, the Spurs are now a bottom team, and everyone can make a move. It was not until today that the Lakers defeated the Trail Blazers , which ranked 2 higher than the Lakers, that the Lakers team breathed a sigh of relief and raised their spirits.
There is a saying: The mountains and rivers are full of roads. . The willows and flowers are bright and bright.
James played more proactively, Davis scored easier, Westbrook actually made a three-pointer from a long distance, and the Lakers Three Musketeers finally released their inner pressure.
James talked about the changes in his game style in his post-match interview. He said: "I don't need to rely on top athleticism now to have an impact on the game."
is indeed the case. James played for 34 minutes, scoring 31 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists. This score is fair for Old James . But shooting from the field is high. He made 12 of 18 shots, shooting percentage of 66.7%, 6 of 8 three-pointers, and shooting percentage of up to 75%. 1 free throw with 3 free throws. It is worthy of praise that there are only 2 mistakes and 1 foul. The plus or negative value is positive 5. What is the problem that
shows? James' confidence is back. You don’t need to carry the explosive pack to rush to the inside line, either hit 2+1 or be blocked by the opponent. It's very tiring to fight like this. This game is different. James only needs to shoot, take a knife and tear apart the opponent's defense with his hands. The opponent has no chance to foul, it is both concise and efficient.
Davis played 29 points, scoring 27 points, 12 rebounds and 1 assist with a large double-double. 3 blocks are enough to show that , the Browser, , can also dominate the Lakers' inside. 9 of 17 shots were made, with a shooting percentage of 52.9%. What does this mean? Brother Davis was fouled more often, resulting in his low shooting percentage. From his free throws, you can see that: he stood on the free throw line 9 times and made 8 free throws. It is worth commending that when the Trail Blazers had a big center like Nurkic , he grabbed 5 offensive rebounds, which is indeed worthy of respect. 2 turnovers, 3 fouls, plus or negative values are positive and 8.
See how James evaluates Brother Davis. "We have won the championship together, and we don't need to discuss how to play together. AD just need to be himself, and I will find the right way to play with him. We need to hand the ball to him, and we did this game."
No wonder Lakers head coach Ham said: "Passing the ball to Davis is the most important thing for us."
's excitement was beyond words.
No pressure, easy. As the half ended, Westbrook received a pass from James and took a three-pointer to widen the gap to 4 points. At the end of the third quarter, Westbrook, who was playing in a high position, actually played the role of Curry : a very long-distance three-pointer was made, and the basketball was hollowed-in. This three-pointer directly increased the gap between the two teams to 15 points. It's really a killing person!
Westbrook played for 23 minutes, scoring 10 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists. The data is indeed not eye-catching, but the 4 defensive rebounds he grabbed did not make any mistakes, and only 1 foul, which made his plus or negative value as high as 12, the highest in the team.
When the Lakers played against Suns , Booker slapped Reeves in the face. Perhaps it was this palm that woke Reeves up and showed confidence. I guess Reeves thought so: If you don’t regard me as a giant, then I will let you see it.
does not explode in silence, it will perish in silence.Reeves started, played for 35 minutes, efficiently scored 22 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, 7 of 10 shots, a shooting percentage of up to 70%, 2 of 5 three-pointers, a shooting percentage of 40%, 6 of 8 free throws, 75%, 2 offensive rebounds, 3 defensive rebounds, no mistakes, only 1 foul, and the plus-negative value is as high as 10. The highest score this season.
James said to this: "He has done a lot this season, and his role in the team is becoming more and more important, and we believe in him very much."
can shoot and grab, and perform efficiently and stably! A true performance from a giant! From now on, we will call the Lakers the Big Four!
The main players played with ease and the substitutes played smoothly. Beverly 5 points and 4 rebounds, Westbrook scored 10 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, Thomas scored 14 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, Christie scored 3 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist, Nunn scored 4 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists, Gabriel scored 6 points and 4 rebounds, and the substitute scored 42 points, 21 rebounds and 10 assists. It's not an exaggeration to call Lakers bench bandits?
hopes that this game will become a watershed for the Lakers, regain confidence, and set out towards the playoffs.
