Although the Lakers' offense improved in the second quarter, scoring 34 points in a single quarter, the gap did not narrow, and the defensive problem still existed. In the third quarter, the Lakers' offense was slightly **, but they still failed to turn the situation around, and finally entered the fourth quarterGarbage time。Throughout the game, the Lakers' performance could not be compared to that of their opponents.
The post-game stats show that the Lakers playersJamesThe performance was not ideal. JamesBarely caught a rebound in this game, which was almost a rarity in his career. He played more than 29 minutes and shot efficiently, scoring 18 points on 12-of-8 shooting and five assists. However, his plus/minus was terrible, with a full-court plus/minus of -30, one of the lowest. After the game,Jamesexpressed the importance of positive and negative values, which shows his dissatisfaction with his own performance.
However, the main responsibility for this game is not thereJamesbody, but imputedDavisDavisFacing Embiid's defense on the inside, he barely fought back, and he played more than 35 minutes in this game, scoring 17 points on 7-of-14 shooting, along with 11 rebounds and 4 fouls, but was blown out by opponents with a plus/minus of -13.
In addition to this, Reaves, another core player of the Lakers, did not perform well in the game. He shot just 40 percent from the field and scored 12 points, but had as many as three turnovers. The plus/minus reached -19 and was completely defeated by the opponentMaxiFinished.
Throughout the game, except for Prince, who played better, the other Lakers players did not play well. Prince has a good hand and a great performance, but he doesn't have a lot of decision-making, after all, he's just a role player, just do your best.
In this game, the Lakers were not good enough in many aspects to be able to compare with their opponents. Their offense was inaccurate, their shooting percentage was low, and their defense was porous. Especially the inside onesDavis, showed obvious weakness against Embiid and could not withstand the opponent's attack. The rest of the team's core players did not bring enough help to the Lakers, and the tacit understanding between teammates was not high, resulting in more turnovers.
ForJamesAlthough the statistics for this game are quite impressive, the sluggish performance of plus and minus is worrying. As the core leader of the team, he needs to play a better role in guiding, boosting the team's morale and providing more help. ForDavisHe needs to improve his interior defense and strengthen the opponent's offensive resistance in order to better help the Lakers win.
However, the defeat in this game cannot be blamed solely on individual players, but on the problem of the entire team. The Lakers need to strengthen their interior defense, improve the coordination between players, and increase the diversity on the offensive end in order to achieve better results in future games.
From this game, we can see that the Lakers have obvious problems with interior defense. DavisAs a core player in the team, you need to take more responsibility and improve your performance. He needs to strengthen the opponent's offensive resistance and improve his rebounding and stealing ability to better help the team win.
At the same time,JamesAs the leader of the Lakers, you need to give more help and guidance to your teammates. He needs to improve his plus/minus performance to better mobilize the atmosphere of the team and lead the team to better results.
My personal summary of this game is that the Lakers need to strengthen their interior defense and improve the chemistry between players. Only when the whole team works together can we defeat strong opponents and achieve better results. Hopefully, the Lakers can learn the lessons of this game and continue to improve their strength to meet the next challenges.
