The Lakers meet real men, and only thick eyebrows are left!Davis scored 40 points to save the Zhan Huang team
Davis scored a career-high 40 points and James also scored a near-triple-double, but the Lakers still didn't win the game under the Celtics' frenzied attacks. The Los Angeles Lakers lost 115-126 to the Celtics, a game that will be played on December 26 in Beijing. James had 16 points, nine rebounds and eight assists, Davis had 40 points, 13 rebounds and four assists, and Tatum had 25, eight rebounds and seven assists.
The Celtics haven't played each other in 15 years, and this time, the two teams meet again, and the positions of both sides have changed dramatically. The Lakers won the playoffs and are working for a quarter-finals, while the Celtics are constantly moving forward to occupy the top spot in the East. Thankfully, both teams have enough stars to add to this game. The return of Porzingis has given the Celtics a lot of confidence, but the morale of the Celtics is constantly improving, and Davis is still the main force of the team. At the end of the first half, Davis scored 20 points and became the best scorer of the game.
Davis led the Lakers to a bloody road, and James also tried to attack the rebounds with his teammates, creating some opportunities for the Lakers to counterattack. However, the Celtics were not intimidated by Davis's passing and James' cooperation, they were still playing defense, playing positional battles, and constantly causing problems for the Lakers. In terms of scoring, the Trail Blazers have been controlling the Lakers. Davis took Holiday and almost made another mistake, and then he went up to Horford and threw the ball into the basket. The Celtics also made a mistake, James passed the ball to Davis, who also shot a three-pointer, and in the end, the Lakers led the Celtics by one point at halftime.
Whether it's the Lakers or the Celtics, they all want to get a win before Christmas, and it can be seen from the performances of the players that both teams are full of energy. But compared with the Celtics, the Lakers seem to be a bit "biased", especially in their defensive line, they have no way to stop the opponent's offense, but let the opponent score 7 points in a row, which makes the gap between them bigger and bigger. Next, Davis kept scoring in the restricted area, and James also tried hard to connect the team's offensive system, but now, several roles of the Lakers can't be played, coupled with their frequent mistakes, so that the team's offense has never been able to maintain stability, if it weren't for Davis's continuous impact in the restricted area, their score may be stretched. Davis made a penalty, but the Lakers players simply didn't have time to defend it, and the Celtics seized the opportunity and Horford hit a three-pointer. Then, the Lakers missed White in the bottom corner, who hit another 3-pointer to extend the deficit to 10 points.
The Celtics have maintained the advantage in this game because they are good at using the opponent's space to match, Tatum can easily create space in the opponent's restricted area, which makes it difficult for the Lakers players to form an effective organization. Davis is the Lakers' only offensive support, and Davis must distance himself from beyond the three-point line to keep his team up for the score. Compared to Davis, James's scoring is too low, especially under the attack of the other two, he frequently makes mistakes, giving the Celtics counterattack again and again. When Ham replaced James, the Lakers were still at a 15-point deficit and it looked like he wanted to throw in early. Celtic have also had a lot of success in this game as they have made frequent mistakes. As a result, the Celtics defeated the Los Angeles Lakers on Christmas.
