January 22, Beijing time, today the Lakers officially began their nightmarish 7-game road trip. The first opponent to face against is the championship giants Bucks. And LeBron James once again fulfilled his promise today and did not let the team fall into a dilemma of losing streak. In the end, the Lakers won the opponent 113-106.
After being reversed by the Warriors with 19 points in the last game, the Lakers were severely criticized by the outside world after the game. Today they are obviously starting to move, especially the team boss LeBron James. Stand up and set an example for everyone. After the game, James made 13 of 25 shots, 6 of 10 three-pointers, 34 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. The plus-minus value was as high as +15, ranking first in the game.
Looking back at Antetokounmpo, he made 11 of 17 shots and efficiently scored 25 points, 12 rebounds and 3 assists, but he made 9 turnovers and ended up with 6 off the court. When facing a strong team, Antetokounmpo was once again invisible. It seems that he really missed the MVP this season. What's more worth mentioning is that he even had a three-point shot in this game, and his offensive shortcomings were once again exposed to everyone's vision.
In addition to James, the second biggest player in the Lakers' win today is not Davis, but Mr. Pope with 40 million. In this game, he made 7 of 10 three-pointers and scored 23 points, 3 rebounds and 1 steal. The plus-minus value reached +8, replacing the thick eyebrows as the most powerful helper around James today.
Who is the third biggest of the Lakers? This problem has been plagued everyone this season, but now this mysterious figure has finally taken off his veil, yes, he is a very low-key Pop. After this game, Pope made 29 of 51 three-pointers this season, with a shooting percentage of 56.9%, ranking third in the league, second only to Seth Curry (59.5%) and his teammate Caruso. (57.1%).
Next we will look at a set of data,Since the beginning of the season, Pope has an offensive efficiency of 127.1 and a defensive efficiency of 103.2. When he appeared on the court, the Lakers were able to win 23.9 points per 100 possessions, ranking first in the team. Obviously, Pope has now become the league's top 3D player, the Lakers can take him 40 million in three years, this operation is really bloody.
After all the good news, let’s talk about the bad news again. Anthony Davis still couldn't find his hand in this game. He made 8 of 18 shots and only scored 18 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks. It is worth mentioning that this is the 5th consecutive game of thick eyebrows and has not scored more than 20 points. This situation has never appeared in his career. But we don't have to worry too much. A player like Davis should be able to adjust himself soon.
The most worrying thing is actually "Little Black" Schroeder. His offensive performance has not been very good recently. Except for 25 points in the last game against the Warriors, his shooting percentage at other times is a little bit. Ugly, even more so today. At the end of the game, Schroeder made 2 of 10 shots. In 32 minutes of playing, he only scored 4 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist and 2 steals. He had little effect on the court.
